my first Impression of ED on the PS4pro

[AstroPalma]

Yikes!
It's full horizontal tear! :x
And this is a screenshot... I can only imagine how frustrating and annoying this is in motion. [sad]

Beware: Still without Day1Patch.

Beware: if you are easily worried, don't watch the following video :O

Too late! [haha]
While you were adjusting your ship to enter the station, the tearing was very noticeable and a bit distracting to be honest.
After you entered the station and started to look around... [knocked out]
Well, they will eventually fix it, right?





Right? :x

 

[svenvangent]

:O [blah] This is really no good pfffff

 

[Mr Fad]

It certainly explains why they didn't show it at e3

 

[TheSynopticVision]

Well, yes. The screentearing when he's in the station looking out (from 1:40 onwards) is really, really severe. Not a one-off kind of thing that you can learn to ignore but more of a game-breaking one.

I wouldn't go as far as to think they wanted to hide this issue.
It's a problem and it needs fixing. It's a shame they've decided to release the game with this issue, but that's what patches are for.
Nowadays we see plenty of devs doing this, sometimes releasing almost unfinished games, lol.

As long as they solve this, i will be ok with it.
But yeah, it's really unfortunate.... The more i watch Damajoo's video in the first post, comparing the PS4 Pro and Xbox One versions, the more i can conclude that the Xbox One, altough less powerful, runs the game smoothly with no stuttering/tearing whatsoever and PS4 Pro keeps struggling with those issues...
It's odd... [blah]

I know, right?! And to think people made fun of me when i brought up this matter a week ago, pointing the finger at me for criticizing the game, throwing snarky remarks and whatever...
I would love to see their faces when they´ll get to play the game on launch day...

Lloyd, you're our lord and saviour! If you're reading this, can you shed some light on this matter?
Will this issues be toned down with day one patch or are the team already working hard on ways to fix it?

 

[Mr Fad]

I think they managed to reduce it hence the livestream but I thought it a little odd that in the post livestream answer post they answered a question about v-sync that I hadn't notice anyone ask?

 

[glasgow-space-cadet]

cheers for making our wait much better now...............................[where is it] I'm really really worried about the base ps4 version now. if this video is supposed to be the "top of the range" ps4 experience then I don't know what to say.

I have several issues in relation to this thread

1-Is it really fair that you show such videos for us to form an opinion on the game without the day1 patch? we shouldn't really accept these videos as anything at all due to this.

2- I don't think I noticed this on the live stream....I will have a look again, but I'm sure they were using the gyro movement quite a lot on the stream, why was it not so noticeable to the 1k+ watchers?

3-What does this mean for the base ps4 owners if this is indeed the "final product" its not looking good..........again as other threads I have been on...is this the real reason they showed the pro on live stream?

4-as touched on already, without the release patch, we shouldn't really let this bother us, but I know it will with some peeps

having said all that, when I watched the live stream again and these videos here, are we being really petty about this? I mean, the rest of the game looks pretty amazing, the graphics and sound look/hear really really good. FDEV have brought it to ps4 and pro but here we all are worried about screen tearing on a pre patched, pre-released version.

Tuesday cant come quick enough

No, the Vsync question was included in my list. Or better, was part of the question regarding performance.

 

[DerDzvero]

It's not odd to me - ED has currently huge problems in stations on PC as well, but those reports are steadily ignored by the support. Even top graphic cards for 500+ Euros and 250W power consumption go down in stations. It's a game problem, which probably does not exist on Xbox since there most of the effects and details are turned down or off from very beginning. AFAIK this was recently introduced as problem..they don't share information or details what graphic features have been changed though so it's a dead end.

....

I'm more than crytal clear that this is pre-Patch, and mentioning it in every post and Video multiple times. It's just what it is for now.

If it would have been super smooth and no issues at all, everybody would be like "show us more more more more more" and asking me to do this or that.

Fdev made their choice to use this build for retail. Latest on thursday, everybody else will be able to do this on their own.

I'm quite positive, that the issue will be patched with the day1 patch.

So please relax and chill until then .

Hi GSC!

1 - Well, we can only comment and discuss about what we've seen so far. And, so far, all the footage that exists from the PS4 port (PAX East, Gamespot Gameplay, Thursday's Stream), all suffer from screen tearing. I even brought it up on a thread about a week ago, as my main concern with this game.

2 - Plenty of us witness that, there's a few comments on this forum about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AJ_sAH-f8c (From 10:40 onwards)

3 - It means we'll have to wait for a fix, cause like TheSynopticVision said, this is very hard to ignore or get used to. It's so severe that i would class this as a game bug myself too. Dunno if Day 1 patch fixes this to any extend.

4 - Well, again, we can only comment about what we've seen so far, and so far things aren't looking that good... It's difficult to stay optimistic with such an issue as this.

Cheers!

My bad, cheers for clearing that up m8

All CMDR's relax - this is BEFORE the already announced DAY ONE Patch.

Here's my first Trophy for ED on the PS4pro

and here is the native video, right out of the PS4Pro:

Wow, that screen tearing is horrendous. Yikes. Lloyd? you working on a Saturday...... The bit at the end from 1:40 in the station is some of the worst screen tear I have seen for a long time.

That looks definitely like V-Sync is disabled? Did they actually answer the question as to if V-Sync is enabled or not? I know its not user configurable.

Well, no. During the livestream both Ed and Lloyd seemed very surprised to see screentearing. If they wanted to hide it they wouldn't have even mentioned it. The surprise was genuine I think.

Maybe Lloyd didn't do head look much? (as it was really bad in the station, both Lloyd and Ed and the rest of us could see it).

 

[Tetzmol]

I'm confident the problem is going to be solved.

 

[FixMeNow]

I play the game on the original XB1 and have played ED since GPP.

We have never had a screen tearing problem on XB1, its quite shocking but no point to jump the gun until you get this day 1 patch.

They have really optimised the game on XB1 recently (2.3). We did have a little frame rate issues in certain situations but they eradicated them. So even if you have some slight issues FD do work on them. This isnt No Man's Lie

 

[Old Duck]

Awch that is not good looking and this is on PS4 pro what will it than be on regular PS4 which I'm gonna play it on damn.

Ironically the Pro has had issues in the past that the standard PS4 doesn't have. Does anyone out there have the ED disk and a vanilla PS4 they can test this on?

ps - I'm having serious "physical disk owner envy" right now!!!

Yeh me too, although its not looking too good at the moment lol. I bet Lloyd has just facepalmed reading this thread.

They can always send it me and I'll test it for the good of the ps4 community on my standard ps4

My hunch is its the same or they would have used the vanilla PS4 on the livestream because as mentioned the xbox version doesn't have any tearing and is super smooth atm!

 

[stormyuk]

Sad panda.

Here's a source to my above statement. This was widely reported back when it was an issue. I think this particular issue has since been fixed, but perhaps this tearing is also a Pro-specific issue. I'm not going to personally stress out as a PS4 Slim owner until someone verifies this tearing also affects the base model PS4.
