[@DarthLordRaven]

the overall picture does look sharper but these grainy artifacts remain. it's annoying.

[@mike5740]

That's a luman issue not a pssr issue so it will need the RT effects tweaking most probably, hopefully they get it up to snuff soon but at least it's far improved then the prior patch

[@EdoXTensei]

@@froggydarren Before this patch, people was entirely sure that there is no PSSR, that this is not PSSR issue, and that there was no Pro version patch. Meanwhile DF and even myself, and few other people, were aware that this is PSSR issue since Pro release, and PSSR not handling well Lumen and few other RT assets. If PSSR won’t receive from Sony proper Denoiser, it will never get rid of this weird flickering and pixelation, as DLSS or even FSR. Because on OG PS5 which using TSR it way better than the PSSR without proper Denoiser. And if Sony won’t upgrade it soon, then all new games UE5 will have the same issue.

[@froggydarren]

@EdoXTensei pro version is now using TSR and it's still doing this so it's a dev issue to fix 🤷

[@CC42_]

It's not using TSR wtf are you talking about? It's a Sony issue AND a dev issue. Sony should be doing so much more to work with devs and get their tools in order so that we get good upgrades for their $800 console(w/disc) otherwise what the hell are we doing here?

[@froggydarren]

@@CC42_ they removed the PSSR in the latest patch and reverted back to the same software upscaler they used on the base it's been confirmed 🤷

[@SOTVT]

Image quality is a tad better but it's far from what I've expected from a pro enhanced game. It looks exactly like the PS5 version, even blurrier in Quality Mode after the latest update. At least, they did "something"..meh.

[@RooneyTodd]

Ray tracing is not good at all on AMD GPUs, so they decide to use UE5's Lumen and Nanite technology, which is not perfect but at least it runs on consoles (with AMD technology), most of the light flickering we see is not PSSR's fault. This is not Bloober Team's fault, Some game development studios outside of SONY PlayStation had no information on how PSSR worked, it is assumed that this technology could do the job by itself, it is worth noting that this is the first attempt at AI on consoles by SONY and AMD. NVIDIA had problems in its first year with DLSS, but they have been improving and training this AI technology for 6 years, PSSR needs some time, FSR has been around for years, this is new, give it time. (Also PSSR does not work very well in games that run at 1080p or less to give a 4K sensation)

[@mrX666-s9p]

Stop this bullshit idiotic take when we have games looking so good with ray tracing like spiderman 2 which is a big open world game and has way more and better ray tracing than this linear trash this is pure incompetence from devs there is no excuse when they have better hardware and ray tracing as well AI upscaling with the pro.

[@LiveSmileD]

The game does not indicate anywhere that it recognizes the PS5 Pro, nor is there any mention of a dedicated Pro graphics mode. In quality mode, the game runs at 30 FPS, and the difference in graphics between performance and quality modes is significant. The performance mode offers downgraded graphics quality but runs at approximately 50 FPS. The game still has artifacts and glare issues. On my second console, a regular PS5, these problems are absent. Overall, there is a strong impression that the game has not been optimized for the Pro format. In other words, you don’t gain any advantage over the standard PS5 but instead encounter artifacts like glare and flickering. A good example of PS5 Pro optimization is God of War: Ragnarok, where the quality mode provides better graphics than on the PS5 and reaches 90 FPS. Another example is The Callisto Protocol, which features a balanced mode with 40 FPS, ray tracing, and the option to select an updated black color tone. This game clearly has not been optimized for the PS5 Pro. Does anyone know what will be included in patch 1.06?

[@davorjurakic1275]

Id like to know if they tested the patch before they released it? I mean they had to know the issues are still there

[@nightstick10]

How is performance?

[@SilentFraud793]

I heard they brought back the breathing flesh walls with this update. Can anyone confirmed?

[@Ardatr58]

Yes its true i checked it yester day

[@SilentFraud793]

@Ardatr58 Thank you sir. That's all I needed to know.

[@matthewcleveland1186]

This area had the worst issues on the base PS5 as well. It looks about the same as base PS5 in terms of the lumen quality.

[@sermerlin1]

Like it just makes me wonder... You get about 40% more powerful hardware... And how is it possible that you can make it look worse and run worse compared to the weaker hardware? Like... HOW bloober... HOW?

Game is still broken this is pure incompetence and laziness how can they lie saying this trash game is pro enhanced and it even looks worse than ps5 wtf is going on

[@kasumioshi4577]

@@mrX666-s9p agreed

[@Darkcranio]

Half true. After the patch on the PS5 Pro now the overall image quality is higher than PS5, but have the same lumen issues like on base PS5 Performance mod. So they fixed what was worse, but at least on the Quality mod it should go above base PS5 in terms of reflections.

[@mrX666-s9p]

@@Darkcranio No it's not stop lying I own both ps5 and the pro game is a mess on the pro image quality is even worse

[@christopherm7248]

I knew it wasn’t going to be fixed this quick. The issue is PSSR and that will probably take month to years to fix. This could all be remedied if the stubborn devs would just allow the old modes as options and not punish people for spending 700 dollars on a console.

[@froggydarren]

@@christopherm7248 it's a luman issue 🤷 low res RT artifacts as the game now uses TAU upscaling

[@andrewhickson6312]

I think bloober was not ready for pro launch. I think they still working on a legit patch. Im hoping

[@mrX666-s9p]

The part that is very annoying is how can they lie and say we fixed and this is the ehanced game but it looks even worse than ps5. Like wtf they are not blind this is pure incompetence.

[@andrewhickson6312]

@mrX666-s9p yea man them keeping so quiet on this is just making them look more shady. Like just be honest and tell us the situation. There was no OFFICIAL pro patch ever detailed

[@CC42_]

I just tested the patch and it's still garbage and looking worse than it did on PS5....Bloober are so incompetent i just can't get over it The gamma on the Pro is all messed up...Quality mode usedrixhhave rich colors now it looks flat Performance mode looks a bit clearer on the Pro but that mode is downgrade visually from Quality. This is a garbage effort on the Pro so far. Compared to how great Callisto Protocols patch is this sucks and I'm losing hope they'll fix it let alone give us something worthy of PS5 Pro..

[@splinterstreetrat]

i know right, how good is Calisto 4k / rt / 60 fps and stable as anything, bloober always gonna bloober which sucks because they have done a brilliant job on this game. its such a shame they should be able to get quality to 60 like all the other devs are doing.

[@lucgatto6845]

Hi indeed those developers are just lost cause, this is hopeless how come others games like re4 remake look a hell lot more stunning than this joke, I know it doesn't to do with this kind of game but they could have done better job regardless the aspect of this title

[@valiantthor5238]

@@lucgatto6845 And RE4 Remake runs in Qualíty Mode with RT/Hair with 60 up to 120hz VRR ! Its amazing on the Pro.

[@splinterstreetrat]

@@valiantthor5238 EXACTLY, so many other games are running and looking fantastic just a few just cant seem to get it right for whatever reason.

[@mrX666-s9p]

The fact is also this is a very linear game and they can't do basic shit right I am so angry they lie this is pro enhanced the fuck and Sony is annoying too they allow this stupid shit

[@Thor86-]

Nothing is fixed the same flickering issues still exist. The developers of this game are ridicilous🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Fathersongaming1603]

Still worse than what it was in the PS5 imo!
