WHEN 60 FPS for PS5, when sun shaft back on consoles?

Edited April 20, 2021 by Boroda Thug

[MrBlonde90 5]

When, or can we expect an FPS Boost on Xbox Series X|S? I’m sure devs are aware of the recent FPS boost setting on Xbox that increases games to 60fps that are currently 30fps... might sound like a reach but can we get an answer if we should expect something graphically to change for next gen consoles in the near future? Thank you always, Bohemia, very excited for this update!

So having the Experimental server is pretty useless, none of the concerns about the 1.12 update were even listened to, melee weakness and zombie strength will ruin this game, i for one wont be playing as often anymore since 1.12

It sounds like the game just isn't for you. I, like a lot of veteran players, welcome the zombie changes. Finally the zombies are more than just a minor annoyance. Stealth is required to one hit them and you have to fight them skillfully instead of just mashing attack and stunlocking them. I hope they also add in zombie breaking doors down so people can't just hide indoors or lock hordes of zombies inside.

[ZingZootZephyr 41]

@KyiaraAny chance the PS5 3D audio VOIP bug was fixed? I don't see it in the notes. Also hoping we get sun shafts back and an unlocked frame rate for PS5.

All in all, the update is awesome and I like the direction the game is going. Hardcore zombie survival, as it should be.

Glad I got to play before this update ruined the game. After the update you can't even stop a zombie from hitting you while hitting them with an axe. Makes perfect sense, very realistic. You punch out 2 zombies and they hit you so many times you're clothes are ruined and you're cut 2-5 times. Completely ridiculous. 20 to 50 minutes to grow food. Guess you're not interested in bambi's having any shot at surviving. Nice job messing up a good game. I needed a reason to play something else.

@KyiaraI've noticed a consistent bug where the grass disappears right around the player and then renders back in. It happens often. I'm on PS5, btw.

It already runs at 60fps!

I noticed a lot of feedback regarding the axe and forwarded it to the devs. The current state regarding the melee fights is what actually players asked for but we will monitor it and tweak it if needed.

Its a survival game and finding the friend is part of the experience. You can use the iZurvive map for finding the friend faster.

Hi, its scheduled for a fix. ( I can actually see it being scheduled in the dev stage) 🙂 

Happy you like it!

Hi guys, you can find your answers here.

Linking to an FAQ from over 3 years ago? Really? 
 
Since duping is still a rampant problem, I’m going to take that as a “No.”

Seriously, it’s beyond awful on console. It’s been reported on the feedback tracker, and here, countless times.  The latest exploit on Xbox is all over YouTube and Twitter. 
 

The loot economy is beyond screwed, people build extravagant mega bases in hours, which screws up performance, and the official servers end up barren because people get tired of cheaters destroying the integrity of the game and looting becomes pointless because a handful of people destroy the CLE with duped stashes. 
 

That response very much  like sounds like, “just tell them we can’t ever fix this issue, and we are tired of hearing about it, so  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

<---- Look at my join date, im far from a noob, iv been playing DayZ since SA on PC and the Zombies were kinda similar back then but with more glitchy, it was changed for a reason, that reason being the over focus on dealing with zombies was sucking the joy out of the other elements of this game. I very much agree with the door smashing but i still stand by my OP,  the Melee weapons (especially the big ones, pickaxe, axe, sledge and shovel) need to have stun and high damage. Make the zombies cluster more so you have to be smart about your attacks but as it stands right now you have to spend 30 minutes just to clear a small compound stealthily and its just too much of a grind for anyone with sense.

Its not only the Axe but all 4 big Melee weapons, they all need tweaking, Just re add the stun if you dont want to make the damage higher again but a zombie should not be able to just ignore your attacks and still tag you, so i dont know what feedback led you to this way of thinking but i dont think its shared by all.

That page is being regularly updated. The response is very much like "those are frequently asked questions, please check that page". I am sorry you feel that way.

[Surfjayce 18]

The game is crashing today, first of all it was crashing just as im about to load into the game (dashboarded) and now its let me into the game twice but crashed after a minute or 2 each time.

 

edit: fixed after a hard restart

I was mainly hoping for some more specific insight into if the current duping problems are being addressed or will be addressed soon, especailly since there was nothing about it in the 1.12 patch notes.

I understand it's a FAQ, but it has no bearing on the current issue, and comes off as a generic response,  because it offers zero insight into any progress or potential for a fix in a future update. It has nothing to do with how I "feel", this is how the response was presented. I understand that in your role you are just forwarding info and relaying stuff from The Dev team to us, but regardless, in this case, the duping is truly damaging the long term player base and viability of this game on consoles. It's a huge problem. A lot of players would just like to know if there is any headway being made into solving it.

There was nothing in the patch notes for 1.12, so it's pretty logical to assume  there is no fix. We can only do so much to inform The Dev team about these issues; it's not on us to make sure these problems are fixed, particularly when they cause massive issues within the game's stability and overall economy.
