The issues also impacted the base PS4. 1.05 caused the issue.

Japanese developers seem to have a harder time with this issue. Just look at Bloodborne/DS3, Naruto and others.
But thank you Nixxes for being stand up devs and fixing it. Much appreciated.
And to the guy with the 1070p TV, you got gipped 10p ;-)
It doesn't have HDR...?
Welp, it stays on the shelve then. No reason it shouldn't with the big PS4 Pro push they gave the game. Aren't they even putting HDR on the PC version?

Yet, 9 patches and a year and a half later and Bloodborne still has it, as does DS3. Le sigh.
Someone please help From Software out with that...Amazing games, Bloodborne probably being my game of the generation so far, but every time I go to replay them the frame pacing is jarring again.

Seems like the input lag is at 1.04 levels. It's definitely not as responsive as 1.05, but it plays much more smoothly now.
It really feels like they just went back to version 1.04.
I'm in original PS4 by the way. Anyone else notice the same thing?

Bought this week because 50% off, now I will play it.

That's bad news. Input lag is more noticeable for me than framepacing. Hopefully it's not the same on the Pro.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Alright alright alright.
Nixxess doing god's work. Already own the game via a recent digital sale, haven't had the chance to play it yet but feels good to know it has the only remaining issue ironed out by the time I start it.
Hope other parts of SE follow through on frame pacing issues on their flagship titles :-/

Did they fix the trophies? I know they patched in trophy fixes for those who haven't gotten the trophies but I don't feel like replaying the game just to get all of the challenges again (it's fucking weird because I have the 100% completion trophy but not the challenges one).

Sweet, can't wait to pick it up.
I was 2-3 hours into my play session today when the update began downloading, as soon as it completed I quit out, installed the patch and reloaded - having a fresh experience of pre and post patch, I can tell you this definitely doesn't seem like the case, the input lag felt exactly the same to me.

Original PS4 or Pro?

This site mentions the introduction of additional input lag in 1.06.
I wonder if it's better or worse than 1.0 as far as input lag.

The report it speaks of is one Reddit post, who claims it's a little noticeable in high framerate mode aswell, despite that mode not suffering from framepacing issues in the first place. I've been playing on the Pro and that doesn't seem to be the case to me.

Here are more reports of more input lag. I downloaded and played it on a friends PS4 and the input lag is definitely back. That kinda sucks.
I just want to revert back to 1.04

Have you played the Xbox One version by any chance? Input lag on the PS4 Pro version patched to 1.06 is a lot lower in comparison.

I love you Nixxes, but how many patches will it take to fix both frame pacing and input lag? On both base PS4 units and PS4 Pro? Seems like every patch fixes something, then breaks something else. Sometimes base PS4 users suffer, other times it's Pro owners. Or both.

Strange...Just did a version update check and I'm not getting this update.

Have Crystal Dynamics developed on anything but on the Xbox 360 or Xbox One since the PS2 days?

Anyone care to compare the lag between 1.0 and 1.06? Got nothing to lose!
Nope. Since Underworld, Crystal have been exclusively developing on Xbox platforms and outsourcing all the ports to other studios (back in the day Nixxes and BuzzMonkey, nowadays just Nixxes, though United Front Games also helped on the reboot's Definitive Edition).

ROTTR is probably the gold standard pro port currently.

Oh great. Another game downgraded in the midst of playthrough. First TLOU then this. I'm starting to get sick about the performance crowd getting what they want in the expense of others, who aren't even bothered by framepacing and minor framerate dips.

Aiming feels off again. PSBro user here
What a disaster
What a disaster
To be fair I don't think the framepacing or dips were minor, but I do agree that developers should be using the Pro to give users options not just forcing people into whatever whim they have with a current patch.
I also think it would be smart for Sony to offer users a way to roll back patches if they choose to. Frankly as a 1080P player I'm not terribly impressed with how Sony seems to be pushing developers to provide us benefits.

Sacrificing input latency for visual latency.
Unacceptable? Is that a better word to use? Get off your high horse.
I haven't played with the new patch, or the older ones that had issues. But if it was anything like the XB1 build I beat last year it wasn't far from disastrous. Coming from 2013 remaster to that the shooting was hugely compromised. Playing on 360 and PC was a night and day improvement.

Playing this on Pro in enhanced graphics mode on my 1080p. Thankfully I never noticed any major fps issues,

I don't think there were major framerate dips in TLOU. And there weren't any in the supersampled 30fps mode.
More options would be good, having the ones that were patched out would be even better. Unfortunately, it seems that in today's online culture, the loudest complainers are more likely to get what they want.
If they offered a way to roll back patches, they'd have to do it case-by-case basis, which seems very unlikely. I was impressed with the supersampling the Pro offered on 1080p displays, but removing it has definitely left me unimpressed as well.
On 1.07 60fps there are some pretty severe drops in the snow level where it's blowing all around. I blame the intense alpha effects.
As for patch rollback, I think the solution would have to be something that was hidden from the average user and just allowable to people who really know what they are doing. If they don't want to go that far then they should at least provide an easy way to block certain games from getting patched as selected by the user.

Yeah, Nixxes is doing a great job supporting it.

thats pretty sad if they introduced input lag i have no time for instability in my games and definitely not the money for it. ill pass on this i guess as it sounds like a hot mess. maybe if it drops to 10 bones 3 years from now when its really cleaned up
Melchiah
Member
I didn't know that, since I don't play in the performance mode, and I haven't played the game since supersampling was removed.
EDIT: And it looks like I won't be playing TR either, since the input lag was brought back.
Regarding patches, they'd have to prevent people from rolling back to versions, that have unfixed bugs and online issues, like the save file bug in the original version of TLOU at the time of release.

Well, an increased input lag in an action-oriented game is a pretty dramatic change in playability. I've shelved games for a whole lot less.
If users are having aiming issues due to input lag after the patch, that's kind of shitty, and should be addressed sooner rather than later. Hardly a controversial opinion.

Aiming seems fine. it feels a little slower than 1.04 but not like 1.0. The area where I feel is way more noticeable is the camera turn lag. It just seems so sluggish when moving it.

There is no actual evidence for increased input lag. The article just quotes a reddit topic with 3 answers (lol) and there are some people saying "maybe".
I just started the game in 4K mode and my impression (running around, aiming and shooting in the Geothermal Valley): The game is a lot smoother and framerate seems to be improved. Input lag seems to be normal for a vsynced 30fps game. The gun goes up pretty much instantly when I press L2. But of course there is a difference when comparing it to games with higher framerates with variable sync. Camera controls in RotTR were always floaty and still are.
