PS5 Pro still shimmers and jitters after latest patch

Yesterday, Respawn released a patch aiming to adress the shimmering and jittering introduced on the PS5 Pro version of the game, and while it is better, it's still not what I would consider fixed.

The 30 FPS/quality mode is overall pretty decent now, but the 60 FPS/performance mode still sees a lot of jittering and shimmering on foliage/grass/trees, especially on Koboh which is a planet covered in vegetation. Some areas look pretty okay now, but the areas around the Koboh town that are more in the shade/half-shaded are still affected. The area around the meditation point just before you go into the town still sees a lot of shimmering, for example.

I would assume it's related to the RTAO (raytraced ambient occlusion) in performance mode and I would really prefer if we could turn it off to look like the base PS5 performance mode and instead use that extra GPU power towards a higher input resolution.

Anyway, I'm not sure if Respawn developers read this forum. With the typical turnaround time of their patches/updates, it seems kind of unclear. Anyway, if you do, hello! If not, I'm just shouting into the void.

  • It actually looks all together worse than the previous update. I remember being stunned at how great the first level looked, how smooth it was on performance but when I got to the next planet with plants etc it was shimmering all over. Now the graphics/resolution/quality period looked downgraded. Before buildings didn't shimmer and now they shimmer horribly, foliage doesn't but now everything else including his clothes do. Idk what they did but it looks worse in my opinion, even quality mode looks worse. I'm not sure what they turned off or removed other than the updated pssr but its looks horrible now. honestly at this point the base ps5 version was better probably. Pssr is amazing in other games so I'm not understanding why it seems impossible to do it with Jedi survivor.

    Adding some new bugs I found: On Jedha, there are some really buggy rocks that draw in and disappear as you run along the ground, but like... literally inches away from Cal's feet.

    I also loaded a save just after you meet Merrin and she got stuck in T-pose and kept being stuck in that pose throughout the section. She would just randomly plop into existence and was now unable to help out fighting enemies. Had to fully restart the game to get her to work as normal again.

    (Greez and Bode also keep T-posing randomly inside the space ship, but that has always been happening and seems to just never get fixed.)
