PS3 Fate lag and invisible enemies. Follow

I'm sure I'm not the only person experiencing this on PS3 or even PC. Obviously it's worse the more people there are around but even then it's ridiculous. Was doing the FATE with that Svara dragon and literally couldn't see him the whole time and ended up dying because of it. I guess what I'm saying is that is there an option to reduce people/minions etc.. So it can handle it better?

Many thanks.

For me I see nothing at all, I can hear 1 or 2 effects but am just standing in the middle of the FATE icon until the area loads.
Personally at my lvl I check if the FATE already a good 2 minutes in its pointless to go for it.
And am a PS3 user btw

My connection always says Good, not excellent. I'm guessing this is because I'm in the UK and the servers are in America/Canada? God knows, and I also try to get to FATEs as soon as I can but they're basically over in a few mins. They need to extend that too.

I'm having these issues too. I was in a Coerthas FATE group, and I didn't even get credit for the majority of them because the monster(s) wouldn't show up.

I hate how you can't do anything for a couple of seconds. Sometimes your char just freezes in place.

It wont always be on the player end.

I found that port-forwarding helped... not overly substantial but a bit...

Where are you located and what server are you on ? If that's the case it migh just be an issue with the ps3 version

It's definitely the PS3 though. I'm having these exact same problems, but I've found that I do much better if the fates don't have weather. So the snow zones are a no-no. It sucks to die and not see it coming. I can't wait for the PS4 beta in Feb because these lag issues have nothing to do with connection speed, but the limited RAM(512MB) of the PS3. How do I know? Every other PS3 game uses the same tricks to make the game work. The pop-in(Mass Effect) for example or texture mapping(Borderlands 2) are a few examples.

Now my buddy claims that his SSD is helping him with Fates, but I'm not really believing this. Granted the PS3 HDD isn't wonderful by any stretch, but I really feel the problem is the RAM..the lack of it. The PS4 will run this game like a fine wine and I can't wait.

They shouldn't have released the game on ps3 if this is acceptable to them. I can't even dodge things in dungeons for 2-3 second lag, i get two spells off before my pet attacks, ridicruous.

Am on PS3 and my connection always says excellent and I still get those major lag where nothing showing, I even filter something about battle animation yet I see not much difference.

This right here. Though if I have a decent system, I would still turn off particle effects. I need to be able to SEE what I'm doing, and what position the mob is in.

Just to be clear here, this isn't a PS3 only issue. It will be an issue for PS4 if they don't fix priority rendering.

I get the issue, and im melee so im close to the fate boss, I have an OC i5 3750k and a GTX 680 OC, more ram than the game uses and run off an SSD (not that SSD would matter in this case, same for ram)

Its the games priority rendering system when far too many players, skill animations, and particles are on screen. Some games have this issue, others let everything render. If the game let everything render you would have people getting single digit FPS during Svara, Behemoth, and Odin ect and complaints would arise.

Hopefully their issue is fixable, im not sure if its something buried deep within the game engine, and I suspect it is.

Needless to say the issue is only an issue for certain mega-zerg fate and world bosses. I doubt they will add in world pvp as that would also be an issue for this problem.

Simple fix is to re-prioritize and allow people to turn off effects, though its only simple if the game engine allows it.
