Major FPS / Client Freezing issue after the 1.26 update on PlayStation
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

Since the update there has been a significant issue with client freezing and stuttering whenever in-game.
This applies to both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

I've spoken with my xbox community and they do not seem to have this issue.

I've uploaded a few video clips to demonstrate this issue - i'm still compiling more to update this thread with if need be.

We have encountered this issue on multiple servers.

There also seems to be some issue with how the AK weapons sound right now, almost like the single shot sound is overlapping.

@Neue-Germania

the 2nd video shows update version 1.25.

Looks like the Update don't like your XML Edits.

There can be many reasons for that. Have you checked Your files for any errors? or any abnormal increase of items/objects?

Looks like the server uses a lot of Custom Objects which can cause performance issues.

If that does not help you can try reinstalling your server.

Also try avoiding EU or US servers if you from New Zealand because the high ping, which can also give you weird behavior like this.

none the less its still laggy no matter what server. Official in Svet its horrible driving through Novo is a joke. I really can't see how DayZ is so poorly optimised but anyway I'll continue playing but its a big problem. Not to mention the white walling issue where you can literally close the application and relaunch so you can see through a whole ass town to location any base, its ridiculous. I get if GTA had that problem but you can't lose your loot in GTA. A friend in my group is a pro stash finder he is quite aware about lag that occurs when a stash is nearby we've found tents, cars, bases all because of a certain type of lag that occurs. Mind you we play on Official. Why allow people to place their own custom objects which can cause lag when Official servers dont even run that well either. I sure hope they fix these issues. Especially with the ultra fast SSD of the PS5 which clearly isn't utilised on DayZ. I've ordered a PS5 Pro and I whole heartedly believe it'll probably run the exact same. I need some confirmation that they are working on it. Just a tad bit of communication regarding performance issues would be nice. As far as I know bohemia isn't a totalitarian regime incapabale of communicating wih its playerbase.

Yeah obviously servers with lots of custom additions are going to have it worse but I have spent the majority of my time on Official and servers that have absolutely minimal additions and the performance on PS5 post 1.26 is absolutely abysmal.
As for whitewalling - why can't the loading screen be longer so that it only lets you see the game once the whole area has loaded?

The server was fine before the update.

I have also experienced this on official servers.

@Geez Any update? FPS Performance on PlayStation has been atrocious since the 1.26 update

@Neue-Germania

have you checked what it says in your logs when looking at -limitFPS=

@dayzdebugger This is literally playstation dayz, ain't no option

@junglecat16789

go to logs scroll up and look the 3rd line and read it. Let me know if you see -limitFPS=

Are you a robot? Are you real? Where exactly do I find “limitFPS”

I can also say this lag issue is also going on with my DayZ server. (PS4/PS5) it’s definitely an issue that needs to be addressed.

It's been happening ever since I started playing, why release anything (a new map for example) when it is so frustratingly buggy in some parts of the map, even looking at some tree's the FPS just tanks. Are we gonna have to wait for PS8 to come out to see a slight increase in performance?

@Geez It's been nearly a month now with absolutely no acknowledgement from the team about the unstable and terrible FPS performance on PlayStation since 1.26

I know, the thing is, these are the types of problems that should be addressed IMMEDIATELY. This has completely ruined the game for me. It’s not enjoyable with freezing/stuttering like this.

While we're at it, the buildings loading and unloading. This should not be happening on a Gen 4 SSD. Game seriously needs a performance overhaul and current gen version.

Any word from Bohemia?

Still hoping that this issue can be addressed soon.

I'm hoping that the patch today addresses it, but the patch notes make no mention of it.

I doubt that they will have any 'patch' that will fix it. There needs to be a PS5 version of DayZ. The PS5 SSD is capable of loading in huge areas quickly and efficently but can't handle Chernogorsk or Berezino. The constant loading in and out of buildings drives me insane too. Its very annoying.

The issue still persists.

My freshly wiped, vanilla Livonia server is experiencing constant freezes and delays. Despite being unmodified, the performance is abysmal. I find it hard to believe that heavily modded servers are the sole cause of these issues, as my server is completely vanilla.
Prior to update 1.26, my server ran flawlessly. However, since the update, it has become unplayable.
This problem needs to be addressed urgently.
