Sounds cool, but why is it 60 gigabytes?

 

[Luipadre]

Yeah and its also broke the game. Lots of new bugs and awful performance on PC

 

[Skifi28]

That's not a patch, you're practically re-downloading the entire game. Crappy file structure?

That's not good. The game was practically flawless for me on release

 

[RafterXL]

Yeah, they absolutely destroyed performance with this patch. I literally never drop below 60 fps, and it’s generally quite higher, but as soon as I loaded in and walked around I was dropping to low/mid 30s. I appreciate meaty patches , but did no one test this shit? It’s super obvious and it’s happening to a ton of people.

I've read two possible solutions for PC.

One was reducing foliage to medium from memory, the other was rolling back Nvidia drivers although you'd have to do a search for recommended versions. Also reading some regressions on the Pro around LoD's. Possibly also reduced performance on base PS5, but have read there are some big improvements as well (that was an Xbox related comment I saw).
