Do you believe? Or is it more possible the PS4 team uncovered a huge bug that is just now getting squashed in PC version leading to a huge performance boost? Something QA should have caught, maybe. Wait the QA teams got layed off. Coincidence? or something more.......

Seriously tho. i'd wait to see the "info" before making any judgements.

Seriously-er tho. Whos left with QA to test the new optimizations?

Good good, I look forward to more detail later in the week.

You know lately I've been noticing a pattern, a certain length of time into the game my aim/camera's movement starts to become a bit floaty under/over-shooting the target as I try to aim, when I do land all my shots, a lot of them seem as if they haven't registered and I'm emptying an entire clip to get the kill, finally, when I press the exit button on character selection screen to restart the client, the client crashes as if it tried to let go of something but couldn't.

The game will run better now, but all the buildings will start floating around periodically. I'm keeping my expectations low, and I hope Sony doesn't count on SOE to use PS2 as a AAA launch title for PlayStation4 in November. 'Cos if they do, that'll spell the bankruptcy filing for Sony.

How did you come to the conclusion that the QA staff has been let go?

I hope this isnt going to be a dose of Snake Oil.

I've heard optimization being worked on for nearly a year now.

Fingers crossed, and maybe some double XP to help lure back the masses that have stopped playing to really test it out.

specific snippet:

"Update 2: We have been told by a trusted source that as many as 200 people may have been laid off, though this figure includes temporary workers. Allegedly, about 100 of these layoffs were from SOE’s quality assurance and customer support areas."

So you come to the conclusion that ALL of their QA staff is gone? That makes no logical sense at all.

Sure, some probably got laid off in the PS2 division, but not all. That would be a bad move.

Good to hear that it is coming along nicely. Still a bummer that it took them a year (and very likely the dawn of the ps4) to get there.

Since I started playing this game, the client crashes 100% of the time. Every time I exit the game it closes then gives the "ended unexpectedly" window.

You haven't noticed any optimization? My low-end machine can actually run the game decently now; there had been periods of slideshow goodness that haven't shown up in months.

Something like this?

I really hope that these optimization fixes are really good! I hate having such low FPS on the computer I spent to much money on (never enough money to put in it though =0).

I really do want to be able to stream without the huge frame loss that has been happening lately.

Smeds credibility is about as high as an ant on its knees... he always overpromises and underdelivers, so no... not believing anything until I see it.

Rahabib · 2013-09-04, 02:42 PM

Honestly, I am more interested in them fixing the crashing. At least once a day I get a G29/G30 error now. I never had an issue with performance but this started just the last update
