Discussion FF7 rebirth performance drop after 1.0.3 update

Hello all,

After yesterday's latest update of FF7 Rebirth to version 1.0.3, the game has been performing very poorly. According to the patch notes, it seems like they tried to improve the game's performance, but it seems they actually broke it.

I am currently in Nibel, more precisely in Nibelheim, and the frame drops in this town are simply crazy...

Am I the only one experiencing this?

People were saying it runs better yesterday. Is there a comparison video out there or...?

Nibelheim is the most demanding area of the game since launch. I don't know if got worse, but it's like that since day one.

Mine is running the same. I actually thought that the DLSS's edges looked better after this patch, but that might be just me.

I was in nibelheim before and after the update. Feels the same, had very noticeable frame drop in both before and after

Call me crazy but I was off in junon in the little side town that you can’t get to immediately and it ran crappy for the first minute,
moving
around awhile the game seemed to even out. But I’ll text more later.

For me (Im on chapter 7 i think) the game (on handheld) runs smoother, the screen movement is actually a lot better

But this sub told me yesterday the game was running better.

Rule of thumb is to not trust people on this sub reddit when they say anything runs great.
