    A client hotfix will be deployed to US PS3 and EU PS3 players today at 9:30AM PST. No downtime will be required, and players will automatically download the new client the next time they log in. Players may notice the following changes:

    General
    ·Resolved a performance issue in the Downtown Metropolis Battlezone (DLC9) where the world and NPCs would be slow to load in.
    ·Capes on characters with the male Spark body type will now properly respect the rules of gravity.

    Repost from previous thread:

    What about the identical performance issues that occur outside of the Metropolis battleground areas? Referring specifically to long load/render times in open world Metro and Gotham, huge lag times when accessing UI features like journal and inventory and group loot screens.

    What I'd really like is an option to turn off ambient visuals like the smoke and mist clouds in open world. It wasn't until those were added that the render times got ridiculous for PS3. I'd rather have a playable, slightly blander game world than an unplayable pretty one.

  3. BumblingB I got better.

    I was under the impression this would also affect PC and PS4? Will there be one for them at a later date?

    This is good news. Should this have a positive impact on rendering outside of these zones as well?

    We are working on a few game-wise performance improvements as well, but not for this hotfix.

    Any update about the lag/crash in the JSA Headquarters during the Strike Operation when open the inventory or any kind of menu?

    Hey Mepps, could you please confirm when the PS4 Client hotfix will be?
    A previous post said later this week, just wondering if that has been confirmed and almost ready to release?

    yeah, I would gladly downgrade graphics to actually be able to participate in new content.
  10. deltablues New Player

    yeah, both of the new operations are unplayable for me. Render lag is horrible but also every I go into a building I either freeze or end up under the floor and no matter how many times I warp to rally I still end up under the floor. Because of this I'm just not running the new stuff, which is really lame because I was really excited for it.

    Should be this week still.

    Thanks for the response, Mepps.

    I hate to be "that guy", but can something be done about the lag in the last area of Stike? Pressing start either locks the screen for however many seconds or just straight freezes the game, but you can still hear sounds.

    edit: somebody beat me to being that guy

    It is Greatly appreciated Mepps.

    This didn't fix a thing. Still takes for ever in loading screen and for things to appear. It might even be worse than before now.
  16. Jamie New Player

    Mepps, can you give us an update when this is going into effect? Last night around 5 PM PST I logged in and went to the battlezone. I flew off to one of the collection areas and waited for a minute or 2 for the adds to render. Or did this update only impact the alerts and not the open area of the battlezone?
