PS4 spell particle effects extremely pixelated

Hi, 

I play DAI on PS4 with a 27" 1080p monitor and I'm experiencing really awful pixelated spell effects especially those of fire and lightning. Literally a lightning strike is a lsquiggly line of squares. The PC version (which I don't play) has no pixelation. Now the PS4 is a very powerful machine and should be able to come close to the PC version. Has anyone else experienced this?

Graphically, everything else is spot on. But the pixelation is really bugging me now; especially now I've seen the PC version doesn't have it at all.

    The PS4 has outdated hardware. You can't expect it to look as good as the PC version.

    That said, you should probably post a screenshot or a video of the particle effects so we can determine whether or not it's indeed a bug.

    Thanks for getting back to me. In the three images you can see the pixelation, I hope I'll be able to post the link.

    I know there's the potential to have a lot going on on-screen at one time, but when everything else looks so beautiful and the effects look sub-standard then it's a bit of a let down. Even with outdated hardware, there are other games that have achieved fantastic particle effects even when a lot is going on.

    I've added a few more screen grabs which further highlights the issue. It looks shocking.
