I was prompted to download the newly available PS5 version of OW2 yesterday after the update, so I did.
Ever since I’ve been having disconnects, huge lag spikes (like being stuck on the hero select screen, post hero selection, so long I was nearly kicked from a match or lag-sliding around the maps), having the main menu get laggier after every match and I’ve since downgraded back to the PS4 version since it’s still actually playable.
Please work on these issues cause it’s not my network (I’ve already checked to see if it was on my end and it’s not, plus if it was it wouldn’t only effect the PS5 version)
Yes! This! It sucks because I’ve only got limited days when I don’t work and to find it in that sorry state is annoying. I hope they fix it soon because like you said it’s not our internet or anything.
Updating this. It was running pretty okay and now the newest patch has absolutely fried the game by packet loss and frame drops. It’s absolutely ridiculous that I can’t get on and play two rounds of OW without having to reset because the packet loss gets so bad, I should not have constant symbols on my screen of connection issues and packet drop.
People are constantly rubber banding, glitching through the bottom of the map, whipping all over the place, I’m dead 4 seconds before I actually know, I’ve been having double input glitches (I’ll melee someone it’ll go through on my screen and then two seconds later it’ll melee again even though I have not input a melee), etc.
This version means some serious work and it seems like the OverWatch team is ignoring it.
I’m happy to not be the only one here, I’ve had these kinds of issues since the one punch man event and I couldn’t find many threads about it. They need to adress this but by the way they released this patch with general gamebreaking bugs like sigma flying, it’s going to be a long way until they touch the PS5 version.
Enemies killing me before I peek or with a .5s delay, double input glitches with ana sleep dart, hook etc. animation glitches, enemies glitching around, no sound queues of enemy footsteps, frames dropping right before getting killed or when some abilities are used, frames dropping when people enter or leave a game, sound stuttering during jntense fights, and many many more… it seems to be more of a software/hardware problem, not the servers. Usually the first one or two games are fine but the longer I play the more messy it gets.
I’ve changed all cables and LAN, got my ISP check my connection, reset my PS5 and cleaned it entirely. It seems to get quite warm during games, but I never got any overheating messages or such. Fan is quietly working and the hot air gets out from thr back. I’ve been so paranoid about my PS5 being broken since these glitches are making it impossible for me to even think about playing ranked. only playing qp rn and sometimes even that is frustrating. What’s weird to me is that not everyone has those issues and it still could be related to some PS5 models idk. I’m really just hoping that I wake up one day, start the game and it’s smooth as it used to be after they patched the fps issues in season 1 or 2 I don’t remember when exactly.
