The game is fantastic but is marred by performance issues and crashes especially on console. Once they sort those issues out it will be one of the greats.

I know I've been holding off. Just waiting for they post that's like the PS5 issues are fixed.

Unfortunately not. It's like they've forgotten about the console version. Apparently sometime in August we might get something but who knows at this point. Game is really bloody good but performance, tearing and crashes really let the console experience down. Put my playthrough on hold halfway through act 2 due to crashing.
Edit - Can't comment on act 3 as I haven't made it that far but act 2 has been just as good if not better than act 1 for me apart from the aforementioned performance issues.

so it's awful in the end? it might be not new things.
i heard neptunia dimension also did the same vibe in the near end of their game.
I played mary skelter back before, and feels final act is rushed toward the ending.
I thought it's only that game.
i heard from somebody, that idea factory, often did that.:
good premise and getting worst in the end game or later act.
this rear end situation is kind of new for me :/
seems like I'm avoided the trap to not play this game. thanks for the info
Assuming it gets more time in the oven, as opposed to what usually happens and they just stop working on it. Too many games are getting out like this, start off great, fall off as you progress in game due to rushed/budget/technical issues/bugs/poor writing/whatever, and then just dropped by the devs. What do they care, they have your money, time to move on the next project. The hype based off the first 15 minutes of fame did the job.

I am absolutely fucking glued... I wrapped up my expedition 33 plat and was ready to dive into this and sure is it perfect no but the passion from these guys is apparent as hell, the game is fucking awesome... It's so refreshing to play an rpg of this size that isn't a Bethesda game, I think the loot and character building is awesome tbh, I'm just glued to it... These guys deserve so much support.

Have been waiting for this update in the hopes it fixes crashing and performance issues on console but I'm reading on the discord that its no better. Haven't tried myself yet but I'm very reluctant to start again considering I lost my old save due to the game crashing while saving.

How's new content? IDK if it's the time to finish the game. I love the writing in this, very Witcher-y.

Heard the performance was crap on PS5/Pro
How's it now?

Bought it this weekend, playing on ps5 pro.
Had at least 3 frozen screens, and 2 "desktop crash" bugs.
I urge everyone to use the every 1minute autosave, it feel less frustrating this way.
Tho I put all the graphic preset to the max and a wider FOV so it might be more unstable than normal.
Also if the music stops abruptly, DO NOT interact/talk/whatever with anything, just pray god that it comes back again or you'll have a desktop crash
Still it is weirdly enthralling and i want to know what the hell is with the once and future king and his derelict kingdom...*
Pro combat tip : every enemy has an aggro limit and if you find it, you can kite mobs and even bosses while being very safe. It is very the elder scroll like in the combat aspect.

A photo in a post on the /taintedgrail forum leaked the DLC called "Sanctuary of Sarras".
The Tainted Grail page on X was already posting some content not present in the game, leading everyone to believe it was a future update.
-----------------
Just to contextualize, Sarras is a mythical island and a legendary location in the Arthurian cycle of stories, where the Holy Grail is taken.
So at least the DLC is consistent with something present in the story, and in the game (if I'm not mistaken) some characters go in search of the Holy Grail and disappear from the story.
I don't know if an indie game like Tainted Grail would manage to appear at TGA, but it seems like a good prediction to consider.

I don't understand alien language.
Does it say anything about removing the bugs and the fuckery. I am interested in this but have zero patience for buggy eurotrash right now.

I wouldn't expect it on TGA, but considering they recently had applications for playtests of their "secret new thing" I would say this expansion / dlc is highly likely coming

Still waiting for a stable console version. They've seemingly forgotten about it. They won't be getting any more money from me.

Tearing and frame drops suck but the absolute worst thing for me was the crashing. Act 1 was perfectly fine but as soon as I stepped into act 2 it was crash after crash. I never got to act 3 because the game crashed while saving which deleted my save game. Haven't been back as I don't want to go through the same shit again. Such a shame.

Has anyone tested the new update on Steam Deck or PS5 Pro? Really want to grab this but am torn between the two platforms. I'd go between PC and Steam Deck but PS5 version is on sale, although the crashing and instability sounds awful.

It ran on low fps with a mix of medium/low settings on Deck, I will check the new patch later.

Thanks, look forward to hearing how it runs now!

Well, the game runs the same as before on Deck, it runs around the 20's fps, no matter which settings, low, medium. I can't recommend it on Deck by now, maybe with lossless scaling or a native port it will run better.

Thanks for responding. Shame it runs like ass still. Maybe I'll wait it out.

This is from the notes for Patch 1.15:
I play on PS5, so I'm paying attention to that info specifically. Sounds like they're still "struggling" with it, and the recent patch offers only a minor boost to performance (2 or 3 fps). I think I'll wait until February to see if they can iron the problems out a little more, before jumping in. I've heard many PS5 players say the performance is fine, but then, I've heard many PS5 players say the opposite, so it might be one of those YMMV or "eye of the beholder" situations.
In any case, Oblivion remastered is scratching my ES Scrolls itch for the time being, so I can wait until February.
p.s. Here are the full patch 1.15 notes, if you're interested:
