    Playing on standard PS4 and getting some horrible FPS drops in the mid to late game. They especially seem to happen during the most inopportune times, like when I'm trying to defend my pyre the last second as my opponents are making a move to score. This game is great, but loosing frames in a game where precision is key, and every split second matters is infuriating.

    Here's an example of I'm talking about (Captured on my PS4, contains slight spoilers):

    I've been playing on a new 15-inch Macbook Pro, which is not a massively powerful gaming PC, but should totally be enough to play Pyre (it's not out for Macs yet, so I play it on Windows using Bootcamp). I get pretty much a solid 60 fps if I play it in 1080p (looks that way anyway, i haven't done proper testing or anything), but I have this nice 4k monitor, so it's a bummer it wont hold up to higher resolutions than that.

    Interestingly, even on higher resolutions, the rites are still usually pretty smooth, it's the world map that has framerate problems. It's weird that it seems like the PS4 problems are all about the rites. In any case, the PS4 base model should be way powerful enough to support 1080p60 on a game like that, it seems like they haven't done all the optimizing they can. I bet this will be fixed with a patch coming fairly soon.

    Happened to me on Pro as well and it kinda seemed to just occur despite nothing that different happening on the screen, so hopefully it's something that can be patched.

    I'm having similar difficulties as well (specifically during the rites). My game is also crashing every 20 mins (often during the rites). I am well above requirements and updated my graphics card, tried running in and out of full screen but keep having to restart my PC. Might give up on this until they patch it.

    Little late, but just finished this today. While I really liked it, boy did that framerate really make me crazy sometimes. And yeah, it seemed to happen for almost no conceivable reason, outside of maybe the endgame where there is quite a bit going on. I gave up on the 12 Titan thing the one time I tried, because with the framerate it was basically impossible.
