[2021] 2.4.4 has ruined the quality of textures which the PS4 Pro can handle. It was just fine before the patch

Hi @Dzonatas, could you provide a short video showcasing this behavior?

Does enabling or disabling Boost Mode affect the reported behavior?

Thank you for the video and for providing additional details, our team will look into this matter as soon as possible.

Hey there,

Sorry for the late response. We’ve been kept hot with the recent critical issues on PC.
Regarding PS4 Pro (and standard) streaming issues, we’re aware of this problem as it’s being looked into. There will be more optimizations for consoles and PS4 in particular coming with our next patches and updates.

As a temporary workaround (and general suggestion to improve the experience on the platform), we recommend installing the game on an SSD drive (either internal or external). Most of the issues here reported are caused by the now rather slow stock drives and their speeds. The bump in texture quality caused them to throttle a bit, which is causing most these issues when loading assets.
There’s other issues regarding performance that are also being looked into, but the SSD workaround would iron out at least the most aggravating.

That being said, and to reiterate: we’re aware of this and it is being looked into.

The PS5 drive is blazing fast as it is! These are the issues we’re mostly looking forward to squish in future updates, as they are most likely caused by issues that need addressed, or optimizations needed. No need to upgrade your drive in that case, unless you want to install the game in a separate drive to save space in the internal. Conan Exiles is a backwards compatible game, and installing those on an external drive is currently possible on a PS5.

That would be super helpful. Is it possible for you to send us a few clips of footage (recorded from the PS4 share feature, for instance) where these issues are present?
This would help the team who’s currently working on console optimizations get a better idea of what’s causing the throttle.

Also, sorry for the double-dip posting!
We are also most interested of getting feedback about these issues on Siptah. Isle of Siptah was built from the ground up with console optimizations in mind, so any issues happening there are most likely the ones we are chasing
On the Exiled Lands, we are aware of some of the issues here reported, and we’re working on porting the optimizations made in Siptah over there. While we added some in 2.3 and 2.4.4, there’s still work to do on the Exiled Lands to smooth gameplay.

@h3rb1 Sorry for the poke and self-quote. My quick posting may have messed up visibility for that key point.
That is, if you have Isle of Siptah! If you don’t, we are also interested in these dips in the Exiled Lands.

Phew! Thanks for the confirmation.
We know that the Exiled Lands needs more optimization work and our team is now doing that. However, this shouldn’t mean that some of the issues reported should’ve worsened. That’s what we’re investigating now at the moment.
Regarding some mentions of crashing, and just as a general reminder/favor to ask : please make sure to select “Accept and Send” on the dashboards crash report screen so our team can get those and collate them to find the cause.

We’ve went a bit in detail on to why installing it in a SSD helps, but is not the ultimate solution in our latest responses above
