The game stutters on PS5 and it has not been resolved in any of the patches so far, in spite of the patch notes saying that there are performance improvements. What kind of performance improvements did we actually get?

The stuttering begins to occur right around when one building starts to get full.

Hi TommyD,

Sorry you are having issues. I have put a reply to this post in the other thread you commented on here.

We hope that the 1.4 patch, when released soon, will offer much better performance.

Thanks,

Chizel

I also made this thread because I wanted to make one centered around stuttering. Give the opportunity for people to talk about this specific topic. Performance in general is a very broad term, and as I've seen with a few patches now, just because the patch notes say performance improvements doesn't mean this issue is any different.

Instead of this much better performance you hoped for, there's been no improvement at all. I've personally waited out 3 patches now each saying there's performance improvements. I'm beginning to think "performance improvements" is just code for "something was changed but we don't want to get into what".

Hi TommyD,

Thank you for the feedback. Sorry to hear you are still unhappy with the performance.

So far these early patches have focused heavily on stability. Crashes are absolutely no fun for players so we want to make sure they can actually play something as expected without this frustration. Each patch has more and more stability which gradually frees up our teams and provides us with time to focus elsewhere.

We have many performance improvements in the pipeline, but due to their nature, they always require lots of careful testing. It's for this reason that we have no confirmed dates or version numbers yet, but we'll be sure to release such information at the earliest possibility.

Thank you for your continued patience while we do what we can to improve the quality of Two Point Campus.

So this issue is still here the same way it was at launch with no improvement.
Is this fix still in the pipeline? I can wait, I waited this long. But I wonder if this will ever be fixed.

To to further clarify this thread was never about crashes. It's about how the game stutters if you move the camera as soon as you have about one building full of things. This is a fundamental problem with the engine that makes the game frustrating to play on every platform, this issue was not present with Two Point Hospital. I had actually pre-ordered two copies of Campus (one was a gift) because I had faith in this company, but this faith is quickly evaporating right now.

Hi TommyD,

Thanks for posting.

I mentioned crashes in my last reply because they are a primary focus for us. We used the earlier patches to iron a lot of them out and work on stability. 

We have added many optimisations for performance in the last few updates and more are still planned. 

I have asked the team to look at the stuttering you have mentioned on PS5, again. If you would like to send a video clip showing the issue, I will pass it on to the programmers for review.

Thanks for your patience,

Chizel

Is this a campus specific issue or does it happen in all of them? I’ve just started playing the ps5 version having come from the ps4 and it’s buttery smooth.
