Connectivity experience PS5

Hi,

I have played the game since it came out on PS5. I love the game and the features it brings us. During the gameplay I have experienced some connectivity cases I would like to share.

- When you make a server on your own PS5 when you play solo nothing is wrong. As a host you can play OK. Occasionally you get a gamecrash but they come with error reports. The people that join however struggle with lots of lag. Sometimes it seems very random but also when you do a lot of grinding/drilling with your tools (eg. dismantling a vehicle or ship we made or moving compontents around) the game seems to start lagging more for the people who joined. Up to a point where they just get kicked out. It almost seems that the memory RAM overflows and they just get lag / kicked out.

o When 3 people are joined it seems to become exponentially worse. When the 3rd person leaves the server there seems to get some kind of stability in the session. Creative mode seems more stable than survival mode regarding performance. Did some test yesterday with the creative mode and 3 players were not working after the 3rd player left the session stabilized. Rendering settings used = 7km

o When someone joins with a PS4 on my session of my PS5 the session seems to stabilize. It looks like the PS4 player causes the entire session to lower the FPS for all the users which causes to stabilize the session. The lags are getting very much less. This only counts for when a player joins with a PS4 version played on the PS4. We also tested it out through the PS4 version on the PS5 but that didn't do the same. In this case it was possible to run the session with 3 players quite stable.

- Dedicated server on G-portal, this is just unplayable at this point. No matter what you do there is constant lag while playing. No certain pointers I could give you in this case.

I hope this helps in your journey finding the source of the connectivity issues.

Keep up the good work.
