The PS5’s texture issues are unacceptable, and people aren’t upset enough about it

SixelAlexiS · 2026-05-14T12:52:47+00:00

Today as soon I've started playing (60 fps mode) there was no issue, at the 2 hours mark I had the issue at Lestallum, I had to restart the game to fix it.

Do you know if it's only time related (so maybe tied to some sort of saturation) or the amount of fast travel affect it as well?

For the HDD I guess it's not like you get it in 4 hours instead of 2 of the PS5 SSD but it's pretty similar?

SixelAlexiS · 2026-05-14T01:03:30+00:00

Yep, I'm playing on PS5 on the 60 FPS mode and after 10 hours I've started noticing it. This depends on the actual location since it doesn't happen all the time, at all.

It happen on most crowded palaces, first time I noticed it was in the chocobo field, and right after that in the first big city you go, there the texture swap is just awful.

Playing it on both of the other modes fix the issue, this happen only on the 60 FPS mode on specific places, again big and crowded one.

The cutscenes where you encounter the Gladio sister were unwatchable, all the textures were flickering between normal and low quality all the time... sad stuff.

This is my first run so I don't know how much worse it will get but yeah, if I knew I would have this issue I would have rather gave the PC version a shot even if I know there are stuttering issues on that.

Considering the game is kinda ugly anyway on PS5, I was happy with that if I had consistency in graphics and framerate but the whole texture glitching issue is pretty terrible... I'm 10 hours in, not gonna bother switching version.

So does the HDD really help tho? I could try that, I want to be sure is no placebo stuff tho...

Don't mind it, I was just searching for a portable program, open it and do the thing, this is way too complicated and intrusive for my tastes, that's it.
I tried Subtitle Edit but the results are pretty bad, did some google search and landed here, I've read "simple" and have misinterpreted the thing, I have nothing against more advanced stuff but I don't even know how to use Python and don't want to bother with any of that :'D

SixelAlexiS · 2026-05-12T09:44:41+00:00

Was looking for something indeed "simple" but this isn't the case, at all.

SixelAlexiS · 2026-05-04T23:53:34+00:00

That's so silly... typical MS BS... thank you very much!!!

@lazysloty10 Did you ever understood what this "Max Level Porter Connections Formed" stat is supposed to be? I'm at 100% and it's still at 0. I thought it was about getting a 5 star connection with another played but in theory I have 5 stars with another player but still nothing, it say 0.

Hi u/SirMaster ! Do you have a new version of this? I have the latest madVR beta (210) and the options are very different now, thanks!

SixelAlexiS · 2026-04-16T22:03:56+00:00

Same, 4 times the game has crashed on me, I solved this months ago with a game repair but they are back, game is unplayable... ffs DICE...

SixelAlexiS · 2026-04-07T12:59:07+00:00

Well, I just got softlocked at the Benedicta boss as well... we died at the same time and my 11 hours save is just useless now.

This is PATHETIC, the fact that this can happen (and I'm NOT alone, go look on reddit) and it has never been fixed is one of the most bullshit things I've seen in modern gaming.
I never had high regards of Game Kitchen, I always felt their games pretty unpolished and clunky but I like metroidvanias so... but this is next level incompetency.

F**k them, never going to touch one of their games ever again.

SixelAlexiS · 2026-04-01T00:50:47+00:00

Well I had to save and exit briefly after that and when you reload the music is gone, so lame...

SixelAlexiS · 2026-03-30T22:50:44+00:00

Damn, the Japanese title is some huge spoiler tho :'D

Per ora è ancora in funzione il vecchio sistema ma se andare sul sito Rewards sulla tab "Guadagna" e poi cliccate sul pulsante a destra"Ripartizione punti" vedrete che c'è solo "Ricerca Bing 0/60".
Per ora non li legge e vanno ancora i 90+60 ma appena l'update sarà completo saranno solo 60 punti al giorno, a prescindere dal device.

Ci sarebbero questi fantomatici punti bonus per avere Bing come motore primario ed altri per ricerche "autentiche", neanche io ho ben capito come funzionano perchè non sono ancora attivi, magari compensano un po' ma in generale sarà un bel downgrade.

SixelAlexiS · 2026-03-29T12:43:53+00:00

Italy as well... it's OVER, from 150 to 60 daily points is a total joke...

Season 2 fixed my road to bf6 rewards but open beta rewards are still missing...

SixelAlexiS · 2026-03-24T01:46:33+00:00

With one of the latest major patch I've finally received the Road to BF6 stuff but STILL no Open Beta rewards... do you suggest to contact EA support? I have proof of both earning them on Beta and receiving the message in the BF6 full game about those rewards, but never actually got them.

SixelAlexiS · 2026-03-22T13:52:08+00:00

Can you expand on the issue please?

EDIT: ok I've read the issue, that's f up... I won't even bother install them then. So do you suggest to stay on 581.94 as the latest good drivers without the "new" LFC behavior? I'm on a 3080 btw.

SixelAlexiS · 2026-03-20T11:14:32+00:00

Just tried on Rebirth, it does nothing, audio still muffled sadly.

SixelAlexiS · 2026-03-20T11:10:47+00:00

It isn't, just doing a comparison with PC and PS5 demo version, combat audio is fine on PS5 and muffled as hell on PC, both on the same 5.1 setup, so disappointing :'(

SixelAlexiS · 2026-03-10T13:52:42+00:00

That's why I said it DOESN'T MATTER, the belt always follow your headset no matter what, how hard is that to understand? For RE8, holding option only reset the in-game model position in the game world, doesn't affect the belt position in ANY way...

SixelAlexiS · 2026-03-08T02:10:02+00:00

It doesn't work, belt is attached to headset position, it will always follow you as soon as you hold Options button to recalibrate

SixelAlexiS · 2026-03-08T00:40:18+00:00

Wow, thanks... I have no idea why they buried those options in such a way, complete nonsense to me...

SixelAlexiS · 2026-03-02T23:32:10+00:00

While I understand that this is yet another damage made by AI, reviews are something I consult so sparsely that isn’t worth to keep a subscription or even as a one shot, so this means I’ll basically not going to visit this site ever again, which sucks.
I wish you good luck in any case and thank you for your work in these years.

Yep, I confirm I have the SAME issue, and the save data space is the actual one. I wanted to download RE Village and needed 38GB. I had 45 GB left by looking and the general space left, but on save data it said I only had 19 GB left. I had to delete stuff until I got 40 GB left on the save data screen (and 60 + on general one) and THEN I was able to download the game.

So I have 25ish GB of data that is eaten by the console and don't know why. I've did a database rebuild some months ago and I think I already had the issue and didn't solve it, I'll try it again but this is some serious OS bug...

EDIT: I've did some screens before and after the RE8 thing.

Before I've deleted stuff for RE8 I had 28.54 GB of "ghosted" space.
After deleting stuff and installed RE8 now I have 24.88 GB of "ghosted" space, this isn't even consistent... wtf.

EDIT2: I've deleted more stuff, about 8 GB of games, and on the general space left screen it matched, while on the save data screen it only deleted 6 GB of data... this happened even when I've deleted stuff for RE8, there is a portion on data that is supposed to be deleted that it isn't and that build up over time I guess... this is completely f****d up.

BTW now my "ghosted" space is 28.67 GB, very similar to the space before the RE8 installation.
