Summarize your bug Currently the game is mostly running on Medium/Low settings at a dynamic resolution of 1800-1440P (TAA) on both PS5 and Series X. (During the BETA it was running on HIGH/ULTRA at 1800P on both Series X and PS5). Instead downgrading the game, next-gen console players should have minor graphical options, just like PC players. Especially considering that BF2042 is a crossplay title and allowed PC players play with unlocked frame-rates or higher graphics. Majority of next-gen titles already offer standard, performance and Fidelity pre-sets.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Compare the resolution and graphics of the BETA build vs launch in the PlayStation 5 for example and you will notice significant downgrade in sharpness due to resolution drop and graphical output (mostly LOD, terrain, foliage and shadow quality). However, performance in BETA was still a solid 60fps In the PlayStation 5 when compared to downgraded launch. (See provided pictures)
What happens when the bug occurs? The game is downgraded on the PlayStation 5 since launch (when compared to BETA) with positive change in performance. Instead, the game should have minor graphical pre-sets so that the players can choose how to enjoy their game, just like PC players.
What should be happening instead? Offer the following graphical pre-sets for the PlayStation 5 (and other next-gen consoles): a "STANDARD pre-set" that is unchanged from the current settings as it is now, a "PERFORMANCE pre-set" that is the same as STANDARD, but with unlocked frame-rates (for VRR users). And finally a "FIDELITY pre-set" that uses higher graphical output and resolution at a less stable 60fps (45-60), which is also perfect for VRR users.

Here are some proof of downgrades graphics on PS5 (and Series X) since launch. (Performance in Orbital is unchanged from BETA).

Resolution: Launch looks blurrier than BETA due to downgraded internal rendering resolution. BETA was 1800-1912P on the PS5.

Terrain (LOD) and foliage: Launch dropped the Terrain and Mesh quality from High to Medium in the PlayStation 5 (and Series X).

Shadow Quality: Significantly downgraded at launch, from High to Low on PS5 and Series X. Higher quality shadows literally pop-in within a 10 meter distance when compared to BETA.

BETA:

Launch:

Rendering distance launch is set to 10m

Please give us options so that we can play the way we want it instead of being forced to play on default. 80% of next-games offer options as well, especially since we play PC players with crossplay that do have graphical options.

These 3 options would be welcome for next-gen consoles users:

- Standard mode: Just as it is now.

- Performance mode: Same as now, but unlocked fps (for VRR users).

- Fidelity mode: Fixed 1800P using High/Ultra settings at 45-60fps (perfect for VRR users).
