Verdun PS4 issues

[Matthew]

Hey guys,

This probably isn't the right place to post this but the reddit page for the game isn't lively.

Hoping the devs read this as the game currently seems very buggy, I get it's launch day but the game is pretty much unplayable with friends from my experience. Squad join doesn't work for any of us we just get stuck in the load menu, there's no private squad so public players take the slots in the game menu.

Trying to join friends games from via invite or join session seems to be a roll of the dice.

The coop mode is extremely buggy with ai teleporting all of the show, ending up behind you.

Public lobbies also seem to be quite laggy with movement feeling stiff and hit reg seeming off at times.

The load times also seem to take quite a while also.

I enjoy the parts i've played, but I feel these issues could kill the game as my friends seem to be losing interest quickly, and with only 600+ players on launch day I feel the game should be in a better state than it is server side.

I don't think the issue is with my connection as myself and 2 others have the same issues, I'm trying to play from the uk if that helps?

Are you playing on a EU server?

[Matthew]

Yes

agreed..its so...janky...no gore...very laggy..its a mess. truly sad

I agree. It would have been better to delay this version as well.

The devs move too quickly; they need to give themselves longer deadlines than they do, and to not be afraid of putting thins back.

There are elements impressive with it on the PS4 - the graphics are astounding, the UI is good, and it is a rather well-done port. But the lag, the hit reg, the lack of gore, no team chat, etc. all threaten its success on console, and I think it would have been better for both xbox and ps4 to have been released together for player count.

I really hope the game lives.

I'm watching people on Twitch, and they're having a blast. Not seeing very many issues at all. Are you sure it's not your connection?

This game can't come out soon enough on Xbox.

Cmon Developers, lets get it out there. Of course there's issues (there's issues here on PC), but this BF isn't really going too well, and we need our WW1 game.

It's been buggy for a while. If it's as buggy as it it now, I can only imagine the state of the xbox port. I hope the PC version of Verdun (as buggy as it is now) doesn't get a bad rep from console ports.

Hi!

Bought the game yesterday (PS4) and generally having a blast. But now i get kicked regularly for having a too low ping, which really mars the experience. I encounter lags as well and strange hit detection. Ah, playing from the Caribbean on an US server. Moreover, i find the load times a bit long.

Just to mention, i play other online shooters as well and seldom have any problems at all, so this issue shouldn't be completely on my side. What do you guys think and what do the devs say?

Are you 100% positive you got kicked for having "too low ping"..? Sure you don't mean, too high?

What people have to understand, is that, this is not a 60 dollar (US) Triple AAA game. I mean i'm hearing the cryfests (including myself) about BF 1 right now.

So, if you're playing on a 2,000 rig, or a 300 Xbox or Playstation, you're not going to get the performance, you would want from a much more expensive game.

You can play "For Honor" this March for 60 bucks, and all the microtransactions that come with it, or you play Chivalry. Those are differences.

So, for people who really want a unique WW1 experience, THIS is the game, with the bugs, glitches and all...but, a bargain for only 20 bucks. I'll take it in heartbeat in its current form on Xbox.

So, particularly now, where BF is getting say some "mixed" reviews, i just would not delay any longer. You put it out, you got the SP mode, you got other game modes, and you have an outlet at just the right time.

However, from here on in, these posts should be moved to "Bug Report", in so that Developers can look more into specifically the issues, and whether they are in game related or connection issues as an example

Can't agree more overall with this.

@LVIronstorm: "Too high ping", of course you are right.

@xBCxRangers: My criticism is meant to help improvement, maybe i didn't make that clear enough. In fact i am happy with my purchase/steal, but i'd like to add that i gladly paid 60 bucks for "Verdun" if it had AAA quality (or will grow to it).

By the way, could you tell me what you mean by "mixed reviews" (BF), please? I haven't checked recently.

Just because it's an indie game doesn't mean it gets a pass on a rocky launch, I understand they're a small studio without AAA funding but test environments and betas exist for a reason.

[M2H_Matt]

We are working on a patch as we speak and hope to resolve many of the issues you mentioned. Unfortunaly patching can't go as fast as on the Steam version as it requires testing from Sony.

Awesome news!

Very good!
