PS5 Game Performance is just awful and unplayable

Honestly i think they just don't care about the ps5 version. It got worse every major patch like way worse, new patch 0.3.0c competely stuck my character making my Lvl 91 char unplayable, so they obviously don't test their patches at all on console. I needed to play the whole of act iv and interlude on mute, because the game would just permanently make a shrilling sound. This is all not speaking about the 3 Fps in combat...

Now it's literally unplayable. And it's getting worse with each patch.

Bump, My game has crashed now 4 times while mapping today. Really bad frame drops and constant rubber banding.

Hello GGG?

The game during the mapping is unplayabe... max 5 fps, freezing, lagging etc... It is really frustrating, at this moment all of the PS5 users deserve a 100% refund...

GGG abandoned us
I tried today again
1 map was ok,second map lagg soikes and unplayable
Very bad support and we deserved more

Issues:
Constant lags and freezes
Frequent stuttering and input delays during gameplay.

Audio problems
Sound randomly cuts off or becomes distorted.
Only a full game restart helps.
This issue was not present in version 0.1.

Extremely low FPS in endgame
During encounters with many monsters or game mechanics, FPS drops to as low as 5.

The screen often freezes for 1–2 seconds, leading to character death and loss of experience.

Overwhelming visual effects
When multiple skills and mechanics are active, the screen turns into a messy blur, making it impossible to see what is happening.

Delirium (Orb applied to map)
Activating Delirium creates heavy fog.
FPS immediately drops to 10–15, making the game nearly unplayable.


At this stage, the console version of the game on PS5 feels unplayable in the endgame.

Used System: PS5
Problems since 0.3
Details:
- massive laggs, no other umportant systems running taking bandwith
- freezes for seconds
- after freeze character standing somewhere else mostly dead
- sounds crackling and most times overlays

Tried solutions:
- graphics set up to minimum
- sounds reduced or cut off
- changing server only reduces the problem never stops it
- PS5 connected by LAN tried also WLAN but without sucess

Network:
Normal 300 MB connection

As it is only playable (if this could be stated as ...playable) solution is more than necessary.

update 2025-09-25
ticket opened, no target orientated feedback side GGG
tried further differents things to get PoE2 running in an acceptable way, no result
as many others stopped playing till solution is given, so far no chance for playing normally

it has somehow improved for me by going back to pssr and going to quality mode.

i still get the loading screens like everyone else but the game feels better. its definitely less blurry like it has always been for me
