With multiple reports of the game being buggy on PC I've been wondering how well MEA is performing on consoles, I'm playing on my PS4 Pro and the game has been running smoothly other than the small bug here and there, how has the game been running for those of you on regular PS4's and X1's?

My father is playing it on a regular ps4 and both he and I have noticed while he plays that the frame rate drops to low 20s with alarming frequency.. honestly I haven't ever seen a major release title with such frequent frame rate drops - it sometimes gets bad enough to impact his ability to aim properly in very large fights (this is in single player, he says multiplayer always seems to hold at 30fp just fine.. but that's no surprise since they are just tiny maps).
Even in some dialogue scenes we've both noticed it drop a fair bit under 30 for a few seconds... Frankly it seems unacceptable for a console game to have all those frame rate drops.. the bloody thing should be locked at 30fps minimum.. the fact that it isn't is clear indication that Bioware didn't spend enough time fine tuning the game.
I play on PC and get frame drops too sometimes, but I can just tune my settings to adjust for that.. it shouldn't be happening for console users.

Playing on PS4 and it's been running very smooth. Got some minor glitches, slowdowns and got stuck somewhere, but I had those in the trilogy all the time. I've finished around 40% of the game and I played 40 hours so far.

I play on the PS4 and graphically it's working fine. The only bugs I'm encountering are dumb things Like NPCs shooting me while stuck in walls, though these kind of bugs happen pretty infrequently.

I'm having almost no problems on XB1. I don't think I've noticed any drops in framerate, but the game has paused a few times while loading new areas on a planet surface, I've also seen a few objects pop in and slow loading textures particularly when talking to people. I also ran into an infinte loading screen once.
Other than that, they're pretty minor and don't affect my enjoyment much, the performance is pretty good so far.
Slightly related, there is a potentially gamebreaking bug if you create a new character immediately after another one. The game might confuse your two saves and there will be npcs and objects where they shouldn't be, and depending on what you did previously, objectives will be given to your new character from the old one and make you unable to progress.

Same here. I did run into that really nasty bug on Voeld regarding the "Stage a Rescue" quest, but that's not exclusive to any one console, and luckily I had a recent save to fall back on.

So far performance is good on my PS4. Except that stupid banter bug which ruins my experience right now.

No Mayor Issues on the PS4. Sometimes the framerate drops but not in the important parts.

PS4 - Really poor performance.
Many combat sequences on the larger maps stutter and hitch on frames, several crashes, 2 infinite load screens.

I'm on an Xbox One S.
Game has been running perfectly for me (touch wood!!) I've had no glitches or bugs, frame rate has never dropped that I've noticed, so no complaints at all.

Lagging a bit when in Tempest, Frame Rate Drop when using the pull + throw combo to throw enemies far away(like, really far away) and during some conversations Ryder's beard doesn't appear properly. Oh, and there's also a quest that won't complete relating to the Bartender on the Nexus. Apart from that, it's Ok. No banter bug, squad is talkative and on a unrelated note, I just found out I can use 2 Assault Rifles!

Playing on PS4, 30 hours in, and other than a few minor things, it's running fine. I occasionally have Sara do this weird skip/jump going up/down stairs or the limbs of a squadmate do this weird wiggling dance while standing still. Also, at the beginning, I had ambient conversation from squadmates that have not been recruited yet (like hearing Drack on the Tempest even before I met him, or squadmates mentioning squadmates not present yet). Otherwise, apart from my own inability to drive the Nomad faster than 20 km/h (due to my stellar driving skills), all's good.

Yeah can say that after seeing how well my computer didn't handle it on PC during the trial... picking it up for XB1 was a good move. Hardly any performance issues here. Sometimes textures load slightly slow but no frame rate drops or crashes.
Only one bug encountered so far and it isn't XB1 exclusive.

I think i have the banter bug but so far the game's playing well, better than the Trilogy has been of late. At one stage i thought i had a texture load issue, but having investigated this board, it's just a fact that the character had no texture to load anyway.

PS4: I've had no issues with the frame rate, but I have had issues with some textures never loading - mainly clothes/ face textures of people I was speaking with - and so much pop-up. for as little plant life as there is on the worlds it sure likes to wait to show up until the nomad is literally on top of it. Not to mention buildings popping up, people popping up. I don't mind it in most games, but here it happens right in front of you, sometimes I'll walk into an NPCs that's just popped up in front of me.

I'm on XBox1...i've seen it be slow to load as others mentioned. I also had 2 times where a character was duplicated..talking to Jaal and Liam as they swap armor..Jaal separated from himself and looked like a siamese twin. And same happened to Drack in kitchen as I was hunting on behalf of Suvi to discover extra weight discrepancy on the tempest..initially I thought he smuggled his granddaughter on board..but it was Drack duplicated

Hey, Playing on Ps4 Pro, hdtv, boost mode OFF, and i have frequent fps drop, inside tempest :/ one second freeze in nomad sometime i travel at more than 100mph On some asteroids, when rotating, fps drop. Sometimes plant popping in delay. I will be grateful for a patch who fix these some fps drop, that's not catastrophic, but it will be cool if that will be patched/fixed. Only one game crash in more than 30 hours of playing. One endless loader in the same time.

(On XB1) Horrible texture pop-in in all kinds of locations, which has the sad but humorous effect of making characters and environments look like a game from 2002 at first.

Playing on Xbone here. So far it's the smoothist game I've ever played on an Xbox console. A lot of games such as Skyrim FO and even Assassin's Creed, will crash my Xbox every couple of hours.....Fallout 4 is the worst culprit for this. ME:A hasn't crashed it once. As for bugs, I've had four so far. When on Eos the Nomad and Scott will momentarily freeeze in place while boosting and running. I've had both Scott and Sara missing from cutsense's which they're supposed to be in. Liam disappeared through a wall on the Tempest. And there's another bug which is escaping my memory at the moment. I must say, I'm very happy with the performance so far. And I've been playing since day one!

Well it looks like the game is running smoothly on consoles compared to PC,honestly if EA was so determined to release this game before the fiscal year ended then they should have pulled a Ubisoft and released on consoles first and on the PC a month or two later, this would have led to better reviews.

Yes, but then they'd have a shit storm on their hands from irate PC players. Honestly, no matter what EA/Bioware do, it's never going to be good enough for one group or another.
