Game is almost unplayable on PS4
Takashi
✭✭
The game was fine for me about a week ago, but now its almost unbearable and I haven't seen any dev/mod address the issues or acknowledge they even exist. The game is in a literal broken state. I thought the maintenance today was going to fix it or some of the problems at least, but no, it's even worse.
-Major lag throughout the entirety of playing the game. I haven't gone 5 minutes without encountering some lag induced bug
-Quest NPCs take at least 10-15 seconds to load up(invisible until they do)
-Quest indicators just disappear completely for 10 seconds at a time, very frequent
-Heavy attacks with melee weapons aren't registering at all half the time, basically losing on stamina regen(this is pretty much the only cause for me dying in PVE)
-Audio for the entire game is messed up, there's either a delay in dialogue from NPCs or a delay in sound effects from all sources( I even deleted the cache in the PS4 settings, didn't work)
-Mob NPCs can be invisible at times, especially when you load up into a new map or enter a dungeon
I've played since closed beta, and I quit around the time One Tamriel came out. I played on PC first, transferred over to Xbox then transferred over to PS4 and I can say some of the bugs that were in closed beta I STILL encounter til this day. Is Zenimax ever going to fix the bugs their game has instead of working on DLC?

Avoranti✭✭✭✭✭Glad I’m not the only player experiencing these issues on PS4 . I'll add.
Porting to any Wayshrine, entering any kind of instance, I have to wait 20-30 seconds for the lag to to stop before I can even move. Otherwise it’s a choppy mess.
Playing necro class, some abilities randomly cancel out mid cast. Even using my destruction staff light attacks cancel out for no reason or they don’t cast at all.
Some AoE abilities have no visuals but this is inconsistent.
Enemies have delayed deaths. Meaning, I kill an enemy and it just stands in place for 2-3 seconds before the visual actually happens. When some enemies are killed, the lag is so bad that their body drops in a different spot than where it was killed.
Also having the issues of npc’s taking 10-20 seconds to load.
Issue with quest markers vanishing for a few seconds.
Audio issues with dialogue from npc’s and music randomly and abruptly stopping. Even Bards in taverns stop randomly mid song for no reason.
Issue with other players not loading. They are just black silhouettes.
Found a location with an enemy stuck in a wall.
Issue with spawning Mount. Sometimes takes 5 seconds for it to spawn.
Random lag spikes during play. Most of the things we listed here are lag related and it makes the game unplayable.
Edit: I wanted to add that this is across the entire game. I’m not even playing in the new zone. I’m playing through Silver main zone.

Same here.
I bought Caltrops today, but it doesn't do anything. Emenies just run straight through them.

FusRoGa✭✭It’s terrible. And I know I’m not the only one. It is obvious that the gameplay turns so nasty after Elswyer. Ive done a dungeon that 90% of mobs were invisible, I only managed to spam heal over and over.
The other time went into FG1 where I’ve bumped into the Loading screen for 4 freaking times.1 -
cyribeiroSoul ShrivenOkay, I'm having all the problems above and started happening when I moved from a ridiculously slow internet to a extremely fast one, all described problems above so I did the test and went back to a slow connection and I DID NOT have the problems, the game worked just fine or kind of. Still waiting for a solution which involves a decent internet connection.1

Rikkadir✭✭✭Can I just say that I think ZOS has done a brilliant job with all the expansions, Morrowind, Summerset, Murkmire, Elseweyr. The main problem is that the game has got bigger and bigger. It takes up 116GB disc space on my PS4. As a result, in my opinion, it is taking the drive heads much longer time to find the data they require to play sounds, animations etc.
Maybe when the PS5 comes out in 2020, which will be backwards compatible with PS4 games, and has a Solid State Drive (SSD) up to 4TB, the load/seek times will be much faster resulting in improved performance. Here's hoping.
Just a thought.

__________________________Backstories:_________________________
Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.
Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.
Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...
Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.
Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.
The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.
The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.
Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.
Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)
And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.
After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.
After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...
Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.
Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

Jaremaru✭So tired of the downgrades this game seems to get on Console, but no shortage on dumb cosmetic crap that pumps out almost weekly.
$20 a month for ESO + seems a bit expensive when you own all DLC outright and the performance has gotten worse over the years.
What are we paying $20 a month for? With all the DLC and garbage in the store where is all this money going in to if not performance?
Is ESO+ only for increased bag space/bank space/ and cosmetic home space?
How is it that every online service game has been beaten in to the ground for favoring MTX over performance fixes yet ESO doesn't seem to get the same backlash ?

Agree with you 100% I cancelled my ESO + shortly after Elsweyr release and will not give this company anymore money!
I’m on xbox and this game plays worse and worse each update , Elsweyr totally killed it for me lagg and fps drop in combat with skills and animations not working , its a joke and I’m sick of it and i will keep coming on this forum and agree with everyone else on poor performance and complain about it, because i care about the state of the game, and id like to think i can come back and enjoy the game again because its the best MMO I’ve ever played, but its soo unplayable right now it hurts!

pay4vue✭✭I agree with all of you. I am on ps4 and having no voice chat since Elsweyr dropped and tech has no cure besides lagging is awful0

pagipl✭I agree. Lags in game on PS4 Europe - can`t play!!!!
Already confirm with other people from PL guild - have the same after Wrathstone comming. Prev was fine now we cant do trials, pladges - nothing. Almost 3-5sec lags also with voice.
We pay for this game so we want Bethesda to pay attention of this.1 -
VeryEvilPuma✭✭✭I’ve canceled my eso+ and offer to do the same if you have performance issues. I have Xbox one x and it’s impossible to be in game. It’s painful. To add to all all my tickets to support about fix this *** were just closed.
If ZO$ doesn’t understand any language except the money, they will not get some.1 -
JazzyNova✭✭✭✭Not just on PS4, but PC as well... the game has basically been unplayable for me since Tuesday evening.0 -

VenDetta0910✭✭I got sick of the lag and fps drops and sound delay that i and MANY others reported WEEKS ago. Lucky for me i also play FFXIV on pc and they just had an expansion drop last friday and its effing amazing. Clean launch. Crispy gameplay, beautiful new zones and amazing storyline. TLDR, im glad i had a back up plan. My condolences to those you still roughing it out with these unacceptable gameplay issues. I love ESO, but, i refuse to play a game in such an unacceptable state. Especially one i pay for. Which, Thats been retracted for now. I have hope they will fix it for the sake those that dont have other games, as well as those who do. For now though, i will occupy my time and money on ff14 and not elswyer...see what i did there..lul.2 -
pagipl✭ZOE must to do something with this asap. I spoke with many players from other countries – have the same critical game issue – lags – many lags.
I will wait few days , then stop pay and uninstall – no choice – don`t want +100 GB garbage on my PS4 hard drive.
Love this game but no choice – no answer on ticket, no answer from admins.
We pay for the game, pay also monthly and nobody care – that’s crazy

Frankly speaking I was very shocked about support. I've never seen such disgasting attitude in any other game.0 -
pagipl✭To be honest - I wonder who is the supervisor and who is responsible for the support department - does anyone have direct mail or phone contact directly to the managers of these departments?
No one here answers
I pay so I want an answer asap

Ditto. I just don’t play anymore. Cancelled my ESO Plus. Haven’t logged in for weeks. It’s too frustrating to play with the game performing the way it is, and it’s not worth it. Revisiting The Witcher 3 right now for my fantasy RPG fix.
