Dragon’s Dogma 2 Post-Launch Update Detailed, 30 FPS Limit Planned For Consoles

Capcom has shared plans for their post-launch support for Dragon’s Dogma 2 including confirming a 30 FPS limit for PS5 and Xbox Series S|X.

What does 30fps limit even mean? The fps getting better? Because that part of the game is a mess and unbearable to play on Concoles

[CrimsonWing69]

Probably the opposite of uncapped. They probably get a stable framerate limiting it to 30 fps. Honestly, 30 fps isn’t a big deal. I typically play all games on graphics mode and my eyes adjust to it after like an hour or so. It’s only jarring hopping between 30 to 60 fps.

if you play the magic spear when you run with it on your back you can literally see the frames at the edges when you run. lol

[Psychonaut85]

Yeah if it’s evenly frame paced you get used to it. But right after switching from 60 it looks like a stop motion movie for a little while. Takes a bit for the “movie magic” to kick in.

Locked is much better better than fluctuating between 20s and 30s. I hope they develop a 40 fps mode. That be great if the pro could manage to hit that after optimisation

[Ironmike]

Is it I haven't had many problems on my ps5 some hiccups but nothing major

[isarai]

Hopefully optional, im fine with uncapped as long as the VRR works

[mkis007]

Vrr doesnt work under 40 fps.which is where this game is.

[sweatyrich]

PS5 has a lower rate of 48FPS for VRR. Anything below that and VRR isn't working (unless it's running in a 120fps container)

@sweatyrich

Even on a 120hz container it doesnt work. For some reason Sony hasnt implemented Low Framerate Compensation for whenever a game drops below the VRR window like the Xbox does.

The exception is some (maybe all, not sure) Insomniac games, but because they did it in the game side directly (plus offering more performance modes than any other game haha).

Its really annoying that Sony doesnt do anything about. With so many games having really horrible IQ in performance mode these days, LFC would be a great feature to add

[isarai]

It does if the game allows it, as in they have to enable it on the game side, and it very much works in dragons dogma 2

[ModsDoBetter]

How do you stop flickering on PS5 with VRR? It happens on COD, DD2 and a few other games for me. Some games work, but I have to turn it off more often than not to stop the flicker.

[--Onilink--]

Its not related to the PS5, its because of the TV/Monitor you are using.

Some newer TVs have certain features that help minimize it, and you should only see it really in near black scenarios (otherwise its probably a TV that does VRR really badly), but even on my G3 OLED I still have near black flickering in VRR in certain content, for Alan Wake for example I had to disable VRR and just set a framerate cap (it was on PC), or I ocassionally see it in loading screens since they also represent the most typical black/near black scenarios where it shows the most

[isarai]

I would check to see if you have some "black frame insertion" setting on. I know my TV does that if i enable "OLED True Motion" so i would try tweaking your motion/smoothness settings where you would turn on things like interpolation/smooth motion.

@Oni

I have an LG B9 I use on occasion but I mainly game on my Aorus FV43U. VRR worked fine when I had my Series X, only PS seems to have the issue.

It's not that bad since I can just turn it off and have a great experience, but would be handy if it didn't flicker.

Hopefully my next monitor won't have the issue! Cheers for the response.

[gold_drake]

turn off vrr

[Kaii]

Pathetic, It should've launched in this state.

[DivineHand125]

I like what I am seeing with these updates. I hope they continue to optimize the game in short order.

There are 2 things we should never see in a modern game. No performance mode and no option to turn off motion blur.

[Psychonaut85]

Should have been this way at launch, but won’t really solve things. Cuz the game tanks to in the 20s regularly in towns, a 30 frame cap does nothing to solve that.

[just_looken]

Well we are now at a point hoping to have the same framerate that we had back on out xbox 360 consoles.

So shall we ask for 1080p medium graphics at 30fps on the ps5 pro now?

[RhinoGamer88]

When? This week good...two weeks out is a fail.

[lellkay]

60fps plz

[anast]

But they can find the time to ram an MT shop and other stupid stuff in the game.
