PS5 slowdown in mid Chapter 4 onwards
I've been greatly enjoying the game. I'd say up until recently, even more than Monster Hunter. However, I've run into an issue that is quickly defeating that goodwill. I know PC users are experiencin...

Update: It has now become completely unplayable. The response is too sluggish. I can't enter an input to roll, dodge or put down a spring katakuri fast enough in response to a kemono attack to avoid it. I get hit every single time. Despite reading the move, and seeing a friend I am playing with evade and move out of the area with plenty of time and speed, I'm still stuck in slow motion trying to stow my weapon or initiate a roll as I am comboed by the kemono. This leads to a miserable experience where I am getting a hit or two in, taking every hit, and constantly healing, requiring my friend to do most of the heavy lifting. It was not like this in chapters 1-3. It is technically playable, as I can move around, but my movement is really slow. I arrive to fights 15-30 seconds behind anyone else and cannot dodge anything. Input feels like I am fighting through molasses and it is a miserable experience.
Also Playstation 5 player here. It is definitely getting worse and worse, in chapter 4 I've now had 4 mighty lavaback fights where it is constant slowmo going on. It feels like moving through quicksand or stuck in a swamp. Loving the game so this is really souring the overall experience when the game has gotten progressively worse the further you get. I have definitely experienced both the soundglitch (when all but the music disappears) and the slowmo in both online and solo hunts. Really hoping for a patch now :/
It's a fantastic game, the performance is the only thing holding it back.
