PS5 players: Are you playing the PS4 version of Nightreign?
Hey everyone. I have 600+ hours in Nightreign on PS5 Pro, and I'm honestly getting pretty tired of the performance issues.
In some critical moments FPS drops to around 40, inputs feel delayed, and sometimes they don't register at all. I've lost quite a few runs because of this.
A few days ago I tried the PS4 version, and the performance is noticeably better. Much more stable FPS and the game just feels more responsive. The graphics are worse, obviously, and sometimes mobs seem to load in a bit later, but honestly I don't mind that much.
The problem is that PS4 and PS5 progress isn't shared, so switching means starting completely from zero. I have a lot of relics, presets, don5, etc. on my PS5 version, so losing all of that sucks.
I'm also wondering if I should just wait and see if the PS5 version ever gets a proper performance patch, but I'm not sure how likely that is.
So, PS5 players, which version are you using?
And if you were in my situation, would you start over on PS4 for better performance? Or stay on PS5 and deal with the performance issues to keep your progress?
