PS5 Game Performance is just awful and unplayable
Performance in general has greatly improved on the PS5 (and I have the regular, non pro version), but it still exists with stuttering FPS on PS5 in scenarios of high-density maps where lots of ICE effects are happening at the same time. Not sure if there are additional optimizations that can be made.

I have loved playing, and up until the most recent patches performance was just fine, but now I am unable to play the game. Every few seconds the game freezes all characters, although it lets me move the camera and swap targets, and then goes super speed to catch back up.
Feels like a server sync issue. I've tried playing on different servers and at different times if day to see if it was related to traffic, but haven't seen any change. Typically on the DC server. |

Had problems with things flashing off the screen in, from skills to entire packs of mobs, since release on PS5.
Have toyed with all the graphics options, nothing seems optimal. Game generally runs and looks terrible for me on PS5. |

Haven’t had any performance issues until this recent 0.2.0h patch. Now I’m getting frequent lag spikes for seemingly no reason. On the Slip map, with no extra content, it was pausing every second making it nearly impossible to use any skills without spamming the button. Had similar issues on a few other maps but it’s very random and inconsistent.

I tried another run on my PS5 again since release. Nothing changed in terms of awful FPS throttling, but in addition, the game now freezes due to high ping for more than 5 seconds. I played as a huntress using lightning skills early, and as soon as I started using cold skills, the game felt completely unplayable. 18-25 FPS at most. I don't know why people who post that they aren't having any graphics issues; maybe they play as a Warrior without many screen explosions and visual effects. It is more than 6 months after that game's release, and nothing has changed; the game has become even worse. I have proof.

It’s diabolical! Have ps5 pro. My mate has a ps5. It’s bad on my machine and worse on his he says and when we team up it’s even worse. Literally no other game has these issues at all. I hope they fix it soon.

It's a nightmare playing with a Lightning Spear build and going to high end maps, completing them at 15 FPS..

I thought that 0.2.1 was supposed to improve the performance, especially related to effects like ice damage. I've jumped to my ice staff monk on standard and T1 maps drop to 30fps with all settings low (fsr, ultra performance, dynamix culling and standard shadows). Hell, even my ice spear huntress drops to 30fps on the same settings, and I'm talking about the cemetery in Act 1. At this point the game looks only slightly better than Diablo 3. At least make it perform on the same level...
