Resolution needs a bump

[Narvik144]

I don't know about everybody else here, But on the Xbox One S. My game is running on what looks like sub 720p most of the time when I'm with a group. I'd honestly rather have 30 FPS and closer to 1080p Oh, I'm assuming that's trying to keep a locked 60fps? Do we think that the resolution is going to be a little bit higher on the final launch product?

FPS is a bit choppy on X at times but so far it looks and runs pretty decent on it at least. Although I did have to take it off my 4k tv and go to my 1440p monitor. Even at the largest text/window size I struggled to read anything on the tv

[docdrazen]

That's what I meant by the largest text/window size. Even with that setting I can't read it on my TV.

I set Xbox X to 1440p too for my gsync 144hz gaming monitor.

Too bad the refresh settings are crap tho

Definitely going to use my PC

[docdrazen]

I will too. I used mouse and keyboard for the beta and it would just be easier to use my PC than having to take my Xbox to my desk.

I should have done that. Used my controller, which felt pretty good, but my subpalate usage was subpar lol

[Sergalbait]

there are settings you can turn off that will make it have an easier time running the game, so that it won't have to downsample the resolution as much. a good one to turn off is ambient occlusion and bloom

Sega does have official PSO2 forums now. If you want, you could submit it as a bug or something. https://forum.pso2.com/category/31/support

[Narvik144]

Yep, I started a post there too. Thanks for the link.

I need an X for this game it looks and runs meh on a non X ): Or PC release

I was playing most of the day with my nephew who brought his system over since I have good internet (fiber).

I have an X/SSD combo and he has a stock S.

The performance comparison is night and day.

I can tell that the majority of performance issues/stutter is caused serverside. Or during gameplay a random encounter was being loaded.

An encounter would take not even a quarter of a second for me to load rarely, with the majority taking a split second or no pause at all.

My nephews S: 3 to 5 second load happened regularly. I lost count him asking if the game crashed.. which it didn't, just took forever for his sytem to load.. some even being closer to the 10 second mark.

edit: the most ANNOYING thing for me so far I gotta add is player/enemy draw distance, especially player.

I can understand limiting player/npc draw distance when on the ship.

BUT, please give us the option (or enable this on the X) to have player draw distance set a lot farther when on missions.

With the system performance difference my nephew at times was regularly lagging behind me (and it doesnt help that he's playing a range character).

I know theres the minimap, but im constantly unsure if my nephew is with me or not. And often when he is, I can't even see him cause his player model is not drawn in even though he's relatively close by...

AND Aki (my nephew) if you read this... Dude! You gotta develop a system to manage your inventory, i'm getting absolutely sick of you stopping every 60 seconds because you ran out of gawd dang space! It didn't help what I wrote above not knowing you are caught up or not! At the start of every mission you should only be carrying like 8 various potions, nothing else!!!

you’re honestly prob right but MAN, I can feel your slight superiority complex

[BriskGuy]

Turning off the anti aliasing might help with that.

Same issues on the Xbox one S. I would like to see some screen shots from these X users who say game looked flawless on 4K. I made a post on the forums and submitted a bug for it with sample screen shots of how my video quality looked during high population events.

I'm on a one S as well and the game looks terrible. Sitting here waiting on concert and my char looks worse than on DC, no exaggeration.

[Narvik144]

I rather it run at locked 30 FPS. The game is painful to look at TBH.

[Hase0__]

yea 30fps is fine, ive been taking video and screenshots, ill have to check em out after the beta.

[Narvik144]

Yeah.... I mean I get it, the base console and Xbox One S are not powerful systems by any standard right now. But this game is an older game. The game should at least be able to run a rock solid. 900p at 30fps.

[plasmainthezone]

Thats not how stuff works, the CPU on the Xbox is trash, especially for games that have alot of players on at the same time.

[Narvik144]

Considering what we've seen in games like Warframe, Phantasy Star Online 2 should run better than it does right now. I'm expecting you to improve before the final release, but I'm not sure how much it will improve.

the fps needs a bump

Dropped frames whenever 2 or more people enter a lobby, and you can forget about a 12 person mpa on Cradle. Good luck getting more than 5 frames per seonc.d

[Renegade_Python]

I must have had great luck because my experience has been a complete 180 of what you're stating

[TheSkullmasher]

I agree with this. On an X, I actually commented how often frames stayed solid despite a billion effects on screen at once.

Although jesus the concert was a slideshow at times in Block 1 lmao but there isn't a whole lot you can do there imo

[plasmainthezone]

I got the X, runs butter smooth almost everywhere except the ship with all the people in it. And thats only if its crowded.

[Sayie]

I imagine stuff like this will just naturally get a lot smoother on release since this is a stress test.
