PS5 Performance Issues

Lag, desyncing, frame drops, and pure madness.

Seriously many games are unplayable. My latency is fine (60-80ms) but my client is just doing its own thing until I interact with someone else.

I’ll go to hack someone as Sombra, and when I initiate the hack they disappear and are somewhere else entirely.

I go to attack with Tracer, same thing. They disappear.

The game-state my client shows me is WRONG but it isn’t corrected until I interact with another client.

Yep. Performance is much worse again. It’s like that bug a while ago with the frame rate stuff.

Simply awful.

Unplayable massive frame drops game completely freezing at times and in all video modes. Switched to xdefiant 120fps game runs perfectly.

Yup. Seemed fixed by end of Season 11 (after over half the season having the issue) then returned with Season 12. :upside_down_face:

Also having bad experience on PS5. It got really bad a couple weeks ago. I deleted and reinstalled the game. This helped some, but now the issues are back. Lag spike when starting games, framerate issues when any visual clutter happens. Lag spikes in the middle of games. I have a 1 gig ethernet connection and don’t have issues with any other games. Is Blizzard even aware of this issue?

It keeps coming up, and with this thread picking up steam, I assume they have eyes on the issue

Its the same on ps4.

i bet. before i got my 5 i actually had icepacks i kept in the freezer specifically for my ps4.

couldn’t run anything without overheating, the icepacks helped a little :joy:

I’ve getting this issue since the start of season 11. The first half minute or so and after the match ends have fps problems, I can’t even choose a hero or type in chat. But the last week or so from last season (and today) has been unbearable, the whole game runs at 10fps or so

The only temporary fix that worked for me was deleting the SAVE file from my ps5. It works temporarily so I do it every day.

Note: it will delete your sound and video settings only, your hero settings won’t change

Continuing to have performance/lag issues in every match on PS5. Is Blizzard even working on a fix?

ETA* I changed the 120 hz setting on the PS5 to off. This seems to have fixed my issues for now.

Usual lagfest today with audio glitches.

Recent patch supposedly fixed it but it’s back today for me. :upside_down_face:

Yeah it seems like blizzard can never optimize the ps5 version right. It’s always having issues. I was playing competitive role queue and getting bad frame drops sometimes and the fps drops they said they fixed at the start and end still happen

Yeah it always seems to be the frame rate mode that isn’t optimized that well

The audio glitches have been there for many seasons now and it’s never been addressed so it’s safe to say it’ll never be fixed which sucks because the audio cutting out during big fights can be annoying sometimes

I’ve been penalized three times in competitive due to the terrible lag on PS5 booting me out from matches. The hotfix that claimed to resolve this issue has not actually resolved the issue. Please fix this. I can’t confidently play this game anymore with the game being so unreliable.

Outside of an early season where the PS5 dynamic resolution scaler bugged to below 720p it was great till season 7. Season 7 introduced a weird bug on balanced mode where hero select screen dropped from a locked 60fps to low 30’s with screen tearing.

As the seasons progressed the weird performance started to affect matcheon all modes even frame rate mode.

Its really funny having OW 2 lag uncontrollably, then going to YouTube literally seconds later and having it work perfectly on the highest resolution.

I remember the first game working fine, maybe its just rose tinted glasses tho :thinking:
