The only trend worth mentioning is that games run and look better on the Pro. This game ran like a dream before the patch on TDM, Rush and Domination. Can't say the same after patch 1.4. That said, I'm sure Dice is aware and they'll fix it asap.

I also noted the blurrier IQ, decrease in smooth frame delivery in places like Argonne, and, I think I'm seeing crushed blacks all over the place that were not there before. Looks like they shat the PS4 Pro bed on this patch.

Don't worry boys, Dice will fix this.

Yeah, definitely seeing framerate issues now on some maps. Really annoyed right now
Is this for real? Nah, can't be.

As someone who primarily games on PC, these PS4Pro performance issues are amusing as hell. You guys wanted the PC experience, you got it. Things can't be optimized for every configuration, and that means there'll be weird performance issues in some areas and games. A few lost frames here and there is the price paid for a range of specifications.
The trend is that there are areas that perform differently on the different hardware and occasionally those result in less consistent or worse performance. It won't affect all games or even a majority, but it's definitely present.

What? It was playing and looking great before this last patch on the Pro. I don't get your pc comparison. There are two PS4s.. there are literally thousands of PC configurations.

But BF1 doesn't have a lower resolution nor lower framerate on Pro compared to base PS4.

Thanks, DICE. Guess I will wait to dig back in once more.

Damn... how the fuck...?
Why ruin a perfectly good patch?
People sure this is true?

There is definitely a performance drop post patch.
PS4 pro
1080p tv
Ran smooth pre patch
Runs like shit post patch
Multiple people in my party noticed it after we'd all updated the game. I no joke skip Argonne Forrest now as the frame rate makes me feel sick (and sad it's not running like it was)
Something is wrong here and we need someone like digital foundary to prove it.

Buttery smooth for me on 64p operations all night on my pro.

The mixed reports are interesting. Wonder if it's a patch bug.
Maybe I'll redownload the whole game again and see if that fixes it. The patch did stop and start multiple times while downloading it and I do recall it starting at 2.7 something gig then resuming at 1.9 gig.
Either way there's something not right and the frame drops were immediately noticeable (over 100 hours played and quite a few on the pro pre patch)

Yeah, Argonne Forest got fucked up the most. Constant stuttering. It really doesn't feel good. Especially if you know how great it was on the PRO, pre-patch. Amiens is not that bad, but also got something going on with the framerate. Feels like frame pacing issues on this map.
Was playing all day long and there is definitely something wrong now.
Most other maps seem to be ok.
I cannot even play the game right now as after the patch and newest driver I either have flickering menus in DX11 or CTDs in DX12 mode which never happened before. It's a mess.
People who aren't as sensitive to framerates have been dismissing others who have problems with it since BF4 launched, claiming things like "performance ist great for me".
As subjective as this issue is, there are still actual numbers from fps measurements showing us the facts, which makes such comments pretty much worthless. I wouldn't call that "mixed reports", just reports from people who notice (and/or unterstand) these things and from those who don't.

You're probably right however I find it hard to believe that someone who played it on a pro pre patch wouldn't notice the difference post patch. It's quite jarring.

So? What us as community can do? I was so happy with the performance of this game after moving from OG. Now this?! I really hope it is something they can fix easily. Yes Argonne is really bad atm.

Yes.
If watching a lower frame rate makes you literally "feel sick", you have a serious health issue.

I'm not sure about the IQ being worse as I haven't really made any comparisons but the frame rate definitely doesn't feel as smooth to me. I noticed it almost immediately after downloading the patch and it's a damn shame. The game felt amazing going from the OG PS4 to the Pro, but it feels a little less so now.
This is exactly what I meant in my post above.

Best bet is to send a polite tweet to this DICE producer who previously did great work on the BF4 Community Test Environment.

How do we know they acknowledge the problems? They cant even talk about the pro version. This sucks.

I thought that was only until the Pro launched?
Fbh

As far as I know the game is still running and looking better than on the OG ps4. It's just running worse than before the patch (so the advantage is still there but not as big as before).
It still sucks though. Was super tempted to get one, now I lost all interest.

Yeah, not a word about the Pro despite the Fall Update and the console being well and truly launched. MS deal at work here, tho doesn't stop us from flagging this particular issue with the devs.

I thought I was imagining things last night but definitely.
Wasn't getting on with BF1 until I got my Pro...

1080p PS4 PRO user here:
- almost perfect before yesterday's patch
- after patch: framerate suffers in domination and TDM and these modes ran flawlessly!!
- menus became laggy again, almost as OG PS4
- not entirely sure about IQ, could be placebo after all the reports online, but doesn't quite feel like pre-patch
We definitely need a Digital Foundry analysis, they don't talk about this patch at all in their latest video....

Maybe Sony forced them to downgrade because of this article claiming Pro players had advantage over OG PS4 on BF1 (there's supposed to be multiplayer parity)

From launch until yesterday it was playing perfectly on Pro: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1315077
The patch released today messed things up. This thread is based on the Pro version, but other platforms are effected also.
Not sure if serious...
If (and that still needs verifying) the Pro is running slightly worse framerate now after the patch, it's still way ahead of the standard PS4 in both framerate and resolution.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1315077
Same as above. The parity mandate is about the target framerate.

Ok that would be terrible.

Nah. It still runs and looks a lot better.

If that article was published weeks ago, maybe. Patches and certification take considerable time - this couldn't be in response to that silly piece of DF clickbait.
Apples =/= Oranges.
It's like saying next pach should avoid players look at the sky because they reach better framerates and advantage.
From that linked Eurogamer article:

Then it's the patch that's the problem.
The new AA solution is horrible.

But have they tested argonne forrest?
ManUnkindH

Errrr...No? They tested 64 players modes, but there are a lot of reports, including mine, that framerate takes a dive in TDM or domination after this patch.
Well, those temporal anti-aliasing tweaks make the game look worse rather than better. At least give players an option then.
Also, this doesn't explain why Argonne went from great to bad performance with that patch.
All the other fixes don't matter to me if they broke the actual gameplay alongside.
