Anyone Else's Game Hosed After Patch? PS4 Pro

I’m on ps4 pro

Are you running with the performance or resolution setting?

Performance. Resolution setting is pretty awful.

Definitely weird that turning the hearts event off improved performance in a non-hearts area. Looks like something between the unspecified performance improvements and the event itself had a bit of a disagreement?

Yeah I’m not sure. It seems like activating the event has some adverse memory effect on the game.

In a way it’s a good thing it isn’t a performance issue and is probably just some dumb bug. And when the event is over I assume the issue will be gone for good.

It makes the game borderline unplayable, it would have a hiccup for several seconds sometimes and when it would come back I’d be in ffyl.

I play on regular PS4

Normal ps4 here.

Menus on Single player seems a bit more speedy…but only marginal…may even be placebo.

On MP still dog sh!te

Good News / Bad News

Over the weekend I was playing BL2. It took a few hours, but I started to notice the same issues. Freezing menus, dropped audio, etc.

I did some basic PS4 troubleshooting. Rebuilt database a couple of times. I also started getting errors on PS4 Pro startup. I even tried an entire re-initialization, twice. The second time I received another start up error. I threw in the towel. It’s going back to Sony land for repair.

So the good news is I’m confident my issues are hardware. It was just poorly timed with the patch. I also am confident the problems were more noticeable on BL3 because it is working the hardware harder. It took awhile for BL2 to exhibit the same behaviour.

The bad news is, it will be a few weeks before I can vault hunt again.

Still no response from the ticket I submitted? Most places at least auto respond that they’ve received it. If they ever get back to me, I’ll be sure to update them.

You should - in my experience - get an automated reply with a ticket number within 24 hours. If you didn’t, I’d check your spam folder just in case.
