Just booted the game up for the first time in a while. I thought that after the last QoL patch the ridiculous stuttering would've been fixed. I thought wrong!

PS4 Pro constant stutter (Still)

Hey @JonTheGreat long time no see!
I honestly have never seen that!
I've not played it on the PS4 Pro in a long time but, the hitching I get on the PS5 is usually in Open play when other CMDRs are in the instance, I do see similar frame drops then.
I'll try and fire the game up on the PS4 Pro later and see if I get the same.

I've not seen it that bad, but I've always had a gentler more rhythmic stutter on PS4 in certain cases - most commonly when fuel-scooping, but also when in heavy star-density areas like near the galactic core.
In my case it almost feels like there's some kind of harmonic resonance happening somehow, like maybe the game's frame rate at those points is somehow interfereing with the refresh rate of my TV or something, I dunno. It's like a gentle pulsing rather than a stutter but otherwise similar in effect to the above, just calmer.

Just took this clip from the PS4 Pro and while it's not as smooth as the PS5 it's not stuttering like yours.

Maybe do a reinstall? Not sure what could be causing that.

Same here on base ps4. In group with all the friends and solo everything runs very (!) smooth. But as soon as you go to open with random players around the world, things get stuttering, as soon someone from far away (or someone with a bad connection) is in your instance. I thing this is to the highly optimization-needing netcode.
I'll notice it once and awhile, been way better recently than at Odyssey launch. Yes I created 2 issue tracker reports. Back at end may, early june.
Friday was stable for me.
Ps4 pro.
Have it on performance setting and the Ps4 pro's boost enabled. But It'll sometimes do the same as in video. (I don't know how to either, stop it or get it to happen.)

Ditto, solo mode for farming mats it’s nice and smooth but in open (most noticeably CG systems) I have started to notice a stutter...
Thanks for trying it on your old console, mate. I've tried the game in both open and solo mode, and in boost or performance but its always the same result. I'm pretty much in the middle of nowhere as well!
@sallymorganmoore I think this is an issue of interrest for you to carry to the devs. We on console noticed through all devices (base ps4, ps4 peo and ps5) significant fps drops when in Open with randoms in the same instance. In Solo mode or in group mode with friends (from the same global region) everything runs smooth. So i think, the netcode makes troubles and causes stuttering.
Back in the day when we saw the beyond series updates this wasn't a thing. Things got worse. Can this issue please be targeted for us console players? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I’ve put up with that many a time. Try selecting targets in a CZ whilst that’s happening (I nearly threw a controller once it was so bad).
Instancing in Open, often PS4 Pro jitter at peak times and especially in CZ’s.
I’ve termed these events ‘rubber dinghy rapids’ as its near impossible to control the ship.

Was able to reproduce it for a bit on October Tuesday 6 at 23:40ish.
The stutter will stop soon. When the console player base has died, nothing will cause networking troubles in open anymore, so that the servers can run self-sufficiently...
Sorry, can't hold back frustration and sarcasm.

Today was stable for me.
- at least for nowAny info about a fix? Aaaargh, I forgot.... No infos for consoles...
