DylBandit Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Not sure if your far into the game yet, but I noticed when entering towns, the frame rate drops big time, and everything starts to get a little skippy when panning and looking around the town quickly. Once I leave the town, everything becomes smooth again. I know the PS4 or XBOX isn't a powerhouse performance when it comes to gaming like the PC is, but have you guys been experiencing the frame rate dropping when going into towns. This is really my only complaint of the game so far, let me know in the comments below. Edited October 26, 2018 by DylBandit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3x Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I have yet to play it but it can be a few different reasons. Usually dropped frame rates are down to your internet, not the game or the console. Is your ping going up and down when this happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story mode has nothing to do with the internet speed, the full game has been downloaded and my download speed is 100mbps which is fantastic speeds.

FLIP Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I haven't noticed any issues. I also haven't slept in a while so I could have overlooked it lol I will keep an eye out of it if it happens and let you know. You running it on the disc or dl? I don't think that would make a difference though. You think it might be your screen/tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kean_1 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 @DylBandit Hey Dylan, I just got into free roam last night so I'll check tonight when I get on as I'm sure I will want to go into town to check it out. ....and yeah, ping has nothing to do with it as you mentioned. One other thought.... Do you have Netflix, Amazon Prime or another app running on your PS4? I've noticed that if I don't use the option button to close one of those applications after I exit, they will still run in the background and sometimes cause lag in some games. Just throwing out ideas. I'll report back on my own experience as well (regular PS4 here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJROu812 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Even if there is some drops in major towns, we only have the day one patch.....this is Rockstar biggest games and we will be getting many patches for the next couple of years....they will iron out all the bugs, glitches and performance issues.....be patient cow punchers.

When you get to the town, move and look around in a fluid motions, the game will get a little choppy, once you leave the town into open terrain areas, it will be butter smooth again. I know it's a big game, but the console struggles in the busy areas, hopefully they will release a patch to trim some of the strain on the console.

Kean_1 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Ok, I visited Valentine on a few occasions tonight and really didn't notice any frame rate issues. Even with pedestrians, wagons and horses all moving about. Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention as I admittedly forgot about this conversation while in the game. If there was some stuttering, it was not that noticeable (for me at least) otherwise it would have bugged me as well. I'll keep an eye out though.

When you go into the town with your horse, do a spin the with the camera and look around fast, you can see the frame rate drop major. I just looked this up, and this is a common problem for pretty much all consoles. The PS4 Pro and Xbox One X is also having a little frame rate drop.

Kean_1 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 fyi.... Tried it a couple times myself (spinning around in town) and didn't notice any dramatic drop in frame rate or stuttering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machete Vinz Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Yep! It stutters in the center part of Valentine along the Doc's store. It stutters when you move your camera on that particular part of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanpsx Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I play RDR2 on my ps4pro. I'm very sensitive to fps drops. Occasionally I see few fps drops here and there. Not only in town areas. When I pan my camera very slowly, game sometimes stutter, camera motion is not fluid. Hope Rockstar fix it soon, because this game is awesome, and this issue is ruining my experience.

MJROu812 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) I made it to valentine and playing from a ps4 pro and I haven't noticed anything major, im guessing the next two or three updates will be stability and performance fixes.

Kean_1 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I played around with the camera movement some more in town and noticed it last night. There was some noticeable stutter at times. Luckily for me, I felt it wasn't anything too major as to affect gameplay but as mentioned, I'm sure it will be noticed and addressed in an upcoming update (s).

(ps4pro) Same here, in valentine the stuttering and freezes is horrible, its unplayble for me on standard ps4. The ps4 is clean and not overheating, sorry for my bad English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHR Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Im having exactly the same problem on the Xbox One S, in the country the Framerate is smooth and runs good, then as soon as I go into Valentine the framerate becomes so choppy and laggy it almost becomes unenjoyable to play, i have never paid attention to framerates on console games before but it seems there is such a drop in Framerate in the city its the Noticeable for the first time in years on my part, fingers crossed they update the game to make the framerate smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariton45 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Same issue with my standard PS4. Frame drops in towns. Really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machete Vinz Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Usually the stutters and framerate-drops in Valentine happens only during morning or noon time. There's no stutters when its night time or dawn. Try to see it guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumeron Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Any turning of the camera on my brand new PS4 (not pro) results in dizzying levels of background stutter, even in secluded areas with no animals around... it's quite disheartening... considering returning and getting PS4 Pro instead; do you guys think that'll help with the issue (as in does the Pro handle turning a lot better)?

Kean_1 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'd be curious to view gameplay footage from those with the issue to see if it's worse for others or simply due to personal perspective. While I noticed a bit while spinning around in Valentine (trying to replicate the problem) it's nowhere near a point where it affects the game for me. In fact, until this thread, I never really noticed it until I purposely tried to replicate it. I mean, I've played games where FPS dropped noticeably and made the experience frustrating. .....but not in this case or at least not yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchellCFC96 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I have the same issue when I am entering a busy town. The game is struggling when you are with a lot of people in a small place.The frame drop happens to me in Valentine but also sometimes in camp when everybody is there. Hope Rockstar have noticed it so it can be fixed very soon. The game is absolutely beautiful but the frame drop is my only issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Eric95 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 So i bought a new one x for this game and the framerate seems Not so Fluid, like every test site teils it. Some people say it runs better on a ps4 pro in 1080p that makes me sad. I bought this console to have the best experiences. Hope they fix it.

-JR- Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yeah the FPS feels really low in the towns. Saint Denis feels the worst like 15 FPS... If I remember right, they had this same issue in RDR1 and removed some of the people in the towns to smooth the FPS. They would have to remove people, or maybe even remove the dust effects, or even lower the resolution if they have to. Graphic options in the menu would be nice to have so we could lower the activity in these towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkVai Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hi Yes i get the exact same problem on my PS4 standard on my OLED TV. I've even tried to re-hi the game completely to no avail. As soon as i enter valentine it starts to judder like its about to crash I hope they fix it soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
