Any PS4 runners having problem with slow loads?

After reload at Elliots takes me around 34 sec to load, as well with selecting Slums 2 chapter quitting to menu. I wonder if anyone else has these extreme long loads.

This an unrestricted Any% question since loads does not matter in Glitchless (except if you die ofc).

Thanks in advance!

Playing the ps4 version on the ps5 is roughly the same amount of time but the PS4 itself is built weird (unless you’re into IT, it won’t make much since for me to explain, but it’s a file organization issue) but basically the console itself takes 30-45 seconds to reach the data in the correct file. This is for every ps4 game as its a console issue not a game issue. The longer the game is on, the more files loaded, the more data the console had to sort through, the longer loads you experience. I hope this helps, sorry there’s not much “ fixing” best bet is to run the game immediately after turning the ps4 on and not going through files prior to playing.

PS: if you are interested in this YouTube “ps4 bottlenecking”.

PSPS: make sure you have the game installed on the internal hard drive and not an external. Removes some data pathways

Running on PS4 is so painful... B12 8-error typing code at Momo's, Seamus' 32 inputs code at dead end, 30 sec cp reloads plus multiple crashes occasions (nightclub please). This is weird cause sometimes I get the standard loadings for codes, noticed that happened during unrestricted. I would wish a patch or something consistent to avoid at least crashes. Idk how reliable running straight After you load game is cause it has kept crashing for me. Maybe trying no reset would help.

to check where you have the game installed, go to settings - storage : should go to a menu that shows save data, console storage, external storage, and cloud storage. check the external storage to see if Stray is there. if its not, its already on the main console storage. if it is, highlight it - press options - select "move to console storage". once it has fully moved, shut down the system completely and then bring it back online. should help.

It might help to also make sure the extra visual settings are turned off on the system, the HDR or any of the color enhancing options. optimize your playstation in a way that all the settings are at the lowest visually but highest for performance. ray tracing in the game and the gamma tracing in the game itself could also be turned off to help the system from being overloaded

Same here samuraiblue.. I've also noticed that Momo takes his sweet time to put in the code to enter Rooftops in Glitchless. I've got so many crashes, lagspikes and getting stuck in places. But I've at least finished 1 any% unrestricted run on PS4. I clocked in at 1:25.11 RTA, but with one stupid death in The Sewers. I have no clue if that's good for PS4.

Guess 1:25 seems pretty good on PS4, I don't know much about PS4 top times since I've only been able to finish one so far, crappy 1:30. But well, I don't know what to do, I litterally can't run at all now, crash everytime...

It's so frustrating to play on PS4. I can't even connect my capcard to my PS4 so I can't even stream.. It works fine with my Switch, but not PS4 😅

What's going wrong capturing PS4 ? Have you disabled HDCP in console video Setting ? It's a common issue. I guess now I Can only run the game on my potato pc.

Yes, I have. I used to stream when I ran Little Nightmares from my PS4 last year. Dont know why it wont work now. I use my laptop as a screen atm so I at least can record my runs.

When you're on a 1:31 pace in the glitchless category and a Sentinel kills you INSIDE Clem's apartment 🙃

Getting sniped through Clementine's window sucks. Has happened to me before during practice. Almost did it again tonight during PB run, but I was smart and immediately ran into the hall after jumping inside and waited a couple seconds for the shots to be fired.

Would have been a sub 1:30 if not for a few dumb preventable deaths. I am gonna retire after I get sub-1:30 cuz running on PS4 is hard enough as it is. I'll be happy with that time.
