Backwater...again and again and again.

No derailed for you.

That’s how it feels, maybe there’s a hidden algorithm that favors the maps you have the least success with…because Backwater would be that one even before this problem.

Honestly, I’m not sure. It’s hard to tell for me with only 3 maps. But this does remind me how the same strike would show up over and over in destiny.

Whether we wanted it or not, we’ve stepped into a war with the cabal…

Lol i remember that

Derailed is the best map tbh. Sorry for hitting Backwater so much.
In fact, all maps are good, but not if you play endlessly on one of them, and rarely to never on others.

Lmao I gotcha😂

Yeah, I gat backwater 85% of the time, derailed 10%, and overgrown 5%. Overgrown is my favorite followed by derailed. Backwater seems to cause more bugs while playing than any of the other maps. Maybe that’s just a skewed perspective because it loads more than the others…🤷🏻‍♂️

Backwater is anti-aliasing’s “exotic dancer”.

Not sure if due to the DLC release approaching IllFonic is working on “whatsoever” enhancements to the existing maps but what I can say: today I was able to play 3 hours of the game, absolutely all matches Backwater…and for the first time in the last 2 weeks I did experienced some rather big lags here and there…
Also I noticed, last weeks most of the times my ping would be average of 24ms, but since this Saturday most my matches are going over to 96ms even 120ms…not sure how this stuff really work, though :D

I turned off crossplay a couple of days ago, and suddenly it has been less frequent. I got to play more Derailed missions last night than I’ve been able to the whole week prior to switching it off. Overgrowth was more regular than Derailed, but it actually felt random again with no particular map being dominant.

And it’s happening again… seriously, that’s ten in a row now on Backwater FFS

Aye and it’s by far my least favorite map for a number of reasons. Performance around that fishing village tanking being one of them. Can’t say that i am a fan of its overall layout either especially when it comes to traversing it since this game is riddled with terrain and clipping issues in general.

Also, how hard is it to implement a vault/climb over shit mechanic?! It’s a basic function for FPS games at this point.

The frame rate takes a massive nosedive on that map. @Weevo540 had a video in his channel showing how bad it gets, it’s almost like a slideshow in some parts.

Yeah i basically refuse to play that level now. I have many videos of it. Starting to happen on all levels though after the last patch

See, I don’t get these framerate issues when I play, I’m on PS4 also. I mean I get a little hiccup from time to time, but nothing to the extreme portrayed in those videos.

If it is indeed the result of a patch then why isn’t it a consistent issue across the board for all PS4 players?

I’m not trying to disclaim anything, I’ve watched the video evidence, just trying to understand.

Wish I knew. It really started after 1.08 and has gotten worse

I’d like to offer a few potential solutions if you haven’t tried them already.

  1. Clear your PS4 system cache
  2. Check and confirm that you NAT type is 2 not 3
  3. Restore your game licenses.

If I have performance issues with my ps4, one of these usually leads to a fix.

Awesome. I don’t know how to do any of those 😅 I’m old 🙁

I’m old too my man lol !

To clear your system cache just turn off your PS4, like off , not in rest mode. Once it’s off, unplug the power source from the back of the Playstation for 30 seconds or so. Plug back in and power on!

To check your NAT type just run an internet connectivity test on your PS4 from the settings menu. Once complete, it should tell you your NAT at the end.

To restore game licenses go

Settings -> Account Management -> Restore License

You’re a scholar and a gentleman
