Performance in Open / Group Play

Hello everyone. I'm on the PS4, and I'm having some serious performance issues in Open and Mobius, to the point where I'm about to switch to solo as my default gameplay mode. Is anyone else having problems?

The biggest problem I'm having is around stations. I've almost lost my ship more than once because framerates drop down to 5 FPS (approx) as I'm coming through the slot and approach the landing pad. It's not just FPS, the entire game loses responsiveness - controller input sometimes takes a second or two to register, for example. This happens if there's just a couple other ships in the area. It even happens on occasion when there are no ships in the area.

What I don't understand is that I can be in a wing with other players at a RES and the gameplay is smooth as silk. Therefore I really don't believe it's my network connection (which works fine in every other online game I play). I also doubt it's someone else's network connection, because the problem is relatively consistent. I'm wondering if this is a bug specifically related to stations..

I'm posting this here instead of the PS4 forum because I'm also curious if this is platform-centric (PS4 code is relatively new) or something that affects everyone.

-- ADDENDUM --

Add "crashing on exit from supercruise" to the above problems... It is incredibly frustration (especially when you do finally get a good wing together).

My FPS drops from 60~ to 25~ when entering a station, regardless of mode, on my really old GPU. But it's still fully playable.

Networking can cause some pretty odd issues, and if it's only busy stations in open/PG when the lag happens, then it's pretty much just instancing screwing you over. Lol
It's also Saturday, and nothing ever works smoothly on the weekend. Lol
 
Hi
I play exclusively in möbius (on PC) and haven't come across any of the issues you describe, today or any other day.
Hope you get it resolved

Regards

At recent CG's when docking i got bad frame rate drop because of all the other player ships docked... i have never had this before. Ever.
Only since the last patch.

I was wondering about this, because while I was having some problems before the patch, it seems worse after. It's hard to narrow it down because PS4 was very crowded in open during those early weeks, so I think that was part of the problem then. Now I get worse performance with 2 other people in an instance with me (at station / supercruise) than I did with 12 people pre-patch.
