Plus, we’ve been swept into the basement and out of the General Discussion public eye, so.......

Actually, if you really think about it, it's only logical for ZOS, from their point of view, not to give us a definitive statement about the issue, because there's no way that could turn out well for them. Either they would have to come out and say: "Okay, people, we botched this and have no idea how to fix it. We're working on it, but whether our efforts will lead to something - who can say. Maybe not". That would be honest and even though lots of us would appreciate that, it would also likely lead to quite a few people leaving the game (and thus, not paying anymore).

On the other hand, if it is really the PS4's hardware that's at fault here (which I don't believe, but for the sake of argument, let's say it is), that would make things even worse, because we'd know that there can under no circumstances be a fix or a chance for things to get better, until the PS5 comes out. Which would probably make even more people leave for good.

It's a lose-lose situation for everyone here, and I guess they're just really hoping that a future fix will actually help at least somewhat to keep the PS4 population happy and make them stay, so they keep a lid on the state of things and hope for a miracle. Which, if they really should know that there is little to no chance things will lighten up again, is a bad move all around - almost close to a scam, really, and I sure hope I'm wrong with my fatalism here.

Edited for typo.

OK @ZOS_BillE when can we expect a resolution? Our PVP guild is still experiencing 25-40 blue screens an hour in Cyrodiil, PVE'ers are getting at least 3-5 per day, It's February 2, 2020 groundhog day so I expect this to be the same lame excuse each day till the game completely crashes or there is a fix. I am not sure the ESO team knows how to fix it, but I have recognized these blue screens were growing in intensity ever since the increase in animation cancellations and modded controllers were allow in this game, then Dragon Hold DLC happened and it exploded the number of blue screens that everyone on console is experiencing. We are losing several players a week to these blue screens and it is a shame that your dev's are more interested in expanding an unstable game than fixing the bread & butter you depend on for consistent revenue.

Today's patch did nothing to fix the blue screen issue... logged on after the servers went live, completed a dungeon and blue screened just after last boss died.


Update: having played around 5 hours since the maintenance and patch, I have now had 4 more blue screens, my guild mates that I've been farming dungeons with have also experienced a lot of blue screens, in total 16 between us. This is simply not good enough, it's been going on for so long now, I'm not surprised people are quitting left, right and centre...

The game has so many crash reports to SONY that they won't even sell the pre-order for the next chapter.

Haha, I sincerely hope this is the case. We should spread this rumour and see how zos reacts. 😂
