There's a multiplayer mode. I believe, although I do not know, that it was announced that there would be no PSN requirement for single player mode.

I have no fucking clue what the play is here. Why the ban instead of a huge flashing disclaimer on the store page and when you first open the game saying "You have to use our shitty services if you want multiplayer"? That would solve a lot of issues and they wouldn't need to ban it anywhere.

That was indeed the announcement; PSN required for multiplayer but not singleplayer.

Meanwhile, the last patch for the multiplayer part of the game has ruined the singleplayer part, you know, the actual game.

What do you mean? Need details while I can still cancel my preorder.

Thanks. Any chance yan you TLDR for me? I have Reddit intentionally blocked on my Pihole.

OP

Stuttering and freezing on single player since 2.19 update on pS5

Happened three times in less than an hour gameplay, before 2.19 I’ve never encountered this? I’m new to GoT and on Act III. Anyone else who’s playing SP notice this or is it just me?

First Post

Quick Fix: play the game in offline mode (turn off WiFi in settings). Stopped the stutters entirely. It’s doing that because it keeps trying to connect to the online servers

Responses confirms that this work.

You're too kind

[–] Veraxus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Thank you! That sounds like a bug, but it’s clearly a bad one.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You do know you can unblock your pihole for seconds, minutes etc to go to a site that is otherwise blocked?

[–] Veraxus@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yes. My point is, I don’t even want to go to Reddit accidentally. Fuck Reddit.

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

Can't say I've heard anything about that

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah like with EAs garbage they make it clear with branding all over the start pages

[–] PatheticGroundThing@beehaw.org 2 points 6 months ago

There goes the "we need PSN to effectively moderate the online playerbase" lie right out the window...
