Interesting.
Curious to see how it performs on the Pro. Highly doubt it will be 60. The game is pretty MP focused, so an invader on a vanilla PS4 couldn't invade your game anyway if we're abiding on what Sony has said.

Because it's laggy as fuck and DS3 is available already in a non-laggy form.
Dark souls account on Facebook repsponded to :"Very interested in that frame rate increase for the Pro! Any idea how much of an improvement we'll see?" with:
"Higher FPS, but variable. Definitely an improvement!"
meh, lots of devs think "variable FPS that hovers up and down around 45"= improvement when that's not necessary true.

Pvp looks to be greatly improved but invaders are still fucked

If it improves framepacing it's an improvement and around 45 is definitely better than 30 imo if i can play around 45fps on PC i always do that over sticking with locked 30
so late night tonight the patch goes live!...4:00 AM-6:00 AM EST
That would be right if it was stable 45, but what we are (probably) to have is a framerate that keeps jumping high and down between the 30s and the high 40s low /50s, ending with a juddering mess.
Yep, in 12 hours from now servers will be up with the new patch and arenas!

Update is out now in NA (PS4), 2 GB. Not sure about any other platforms or locations.

How does the increase feel, is it all over the place or pretty stable?
I need a Pro ASAP...

Framerate on Pro feels much higher... Hopefully not a placebo effect...

Sick I will try this soon
I agree 100%. If the game dips below 30 in some spots, do your improvements and just cap it at 30. I always cap PC games at 30 if I am unable to hit 60 for whatever reason (my TV is my monitor). I'm super sensitive to screen tear.
I cannot wait until HDMI 2.1 releases and adoption picks up a few years later. Refresh rates waste so much system performance.
It makes me want to play the entire game over again. I am not experienced with discerning frame rates. So far Firelink Shrine, Irithyll and other areas seem so drastically improved to me. It makes the graphics look better too. I am not experienced with tech lingo.

It probably mitigated the framepacing it had which is not related to FPS numbers but framepacing can produce worser results to look at
Same here, downloading now.

I'm downloading the patch now, I consider myself pretty sensitive to frame rates so I will report back. Expecting variable 30-60 though.

This + buffing big boy builds (I hope it's substantial) is really getting me more excited than the DLC.
Garrett Hawke

Oh lord okay they definitely unlocked the frame rate.
This is huge news. I'm almost as excited for this as I am for the new DLC tbh
Garrett Hawke

They did it :/
They just... unlocked the frame rate. I'm in High Wall of Lothric and it looks like it's running between 40-60fps, sometimes lower in hectic fights.
Aaaaaahhhhhh

Runs pretty solid 60fps during Vordt intro cutscene but the actual fight runs around 45-50 I would estimate, with little spurts of 60fps - and that was during a closed boss fight. Exploring the area saw really regular dips and stutters. This is exactly what people warned about.

Cause it's the better game.

TOTALLY AGREE!!!

They should've bumped the resolution and fixed the framepacing instead of... this.
I guess they might've fixed the framepacing on OG PS4, but it was impossible for me to tell on a Pro considering the wildly variable frame rate.
Makes sense. They should be using their current time being paid by Namco to patch Sony's game because it's better.

Yeah, bump the resolution up, fix the frame pacing and 30 fps won't be an issue at all. Sure it plays better at 60fps but it's not the end of the world
I 100%ed it on PC and coming back to console was brutal with the frame issues ;(
Garrett Hawke
Member
I agree it feels more responsive but the frame rate isn't a stable 60fps at all so imo it feels worse, it's very distracting.
1800p30 w/ proper framepacing and texture filtering would've been 👌
