PS4 players - how's performance after the patch?

Tiff_ar15

Performance is still meh but I haven't been crashing in dungeons nearly as much. Have had some blue screens though. Also a lot of longer load screens and Npcs are taking even longer to load.

TheNightflame

better but the game isn't worth playing due to other changes which is a shame

BalticBlues

Cyrodiil was ok before patch, now it crashes about every 15-30 mins

As a bonus, sometimes there are now indefinite loading screens.

As another bonus, BGs now are hanging with a "will be closed message" if not enough players can be found.

I never have been crashing or had to abort the program that often.
ZOS, is this the version you want released for Christmas? Better revert this mess...

It's a horse a piece. Frame rates have been more stable and loading screens aren't nearly as brutal. The "mount bug" (where you stand there after pressing mount) seems mostly resolved. Dragon fights are pretty smooth, though after a while of farming with a large army, the performance does gradually start to tip. Blue screened once at an outfit station, which is weird. I seem to have more trouble targeting things now and bar swapping has failed on occasion. I'm a little disturbed that when you run into a pool of water, now, your mount doesn't do the despawning animation anymore, and there's no splash sound, you're just suddenly running. Not sure if bug or intended. I didn't think I'd miss hearing a watery "bloop."

My game seems to crash if I spend too much time on outfit station. Happened in Reaper's March twice this week.

Blue screening in Southern Elsweyr maybe 1-2 times over 4 hours - mainly seems to be when am impatient and try to mount/ride as soon as I have travelled via wayshrine. Have realised if just wait a couple of secs after landing to just let it all settle, have no problems.

Business as usual I 'spose

To me it appears there are lots of instances of Desync’n happening.

And not just with Snipe but with what’s happening on my screen isn’t happening on your screen...or vice versa.

I’ve gone from fine to dead in blink of an eye with a death recap of a full assault...which I never saw...and no Lag hiccup in between.

I’ve attacked players and they didn’t react until they died...I’m quite certain they experienced same thing I had earlier...everything’s fine....dead.

Legitimate question - where did you find that metric?

That's why I said arguably...there are more PS4's in peoples homes than Xbox or gaming PCs. PS4 has sold over 100 million units.

The game crashes and blue screen crashes are intended. It's on a timer. Each time it crashes, they're telling you to stop playing and go do something else productive for a while. They are trying to keep you from playing this game too long in consecutive hours. You might get a stroke or increase the risk of going insane when playing too long. Thus, they are trying to help you with the regularly scheduled crashes.

PapaReads

Worse in Cyro and BG’s. Crashed several times trying to get into new zone. I’m not impressed with the patch.

randomkeyhits

not getting many but I have have a few crashes, usually fighting dragons.

when its working though, it feels better, frame rate seems better which makes it all smoother and I seem to have less problems bar swapping.

also whatever they did has messed up my timing when picking chests, I'm having to relearn how to do it, the muscle memory is now wrong.

lastly the initial login where you select europe or north america has gone screwy, it always shows europe even though I can get in to north america its now a bit of guess work as to which I'm going to log into.

could be worse.

PS4 pro NA

Play time 8am-noon, EST

Really bad day for crashes, Once every 20-30 minute at least.

Shardaxx

So I re-downloaded the game yesterday and played last night. General performance seemed a bit better, but I still blue-screened twice in cyrodiil.

Shardaxx

Can I suggest that everyone who gets game crashes hit the Report button, it only takes a sec and at least that's a solid way of letting ZOS know their game is junk at the moment.

MCBIZZLE300

Pvp is absolutely awful, even worse than before. Now people blue screen all the time aswel as infinite load screens.

I Always report with video clip attacked as well.

spartaxoxo

The game sometimes gets frozen during loading screen and have to reload. Sometimes I also get blue screen

lagrue

Well scratch what I said in my original post because the stability has become nonexistant again for me within days. Even 4 man dungeons on vet are lagging worse than ever

method__01

loading times haven't improved at all,imo they increased
its a nightmare when you got a lot of toons and must do daily writs or check a mule's inventory

also -spoilers dragonguard final quest

after 5 min,had to abandon quest and went back,cause dragon wasnt moving

Vlad9425

At the start it was looking promising (aside from the blue screens) but now it feels like something has gone very wrong because I'm lagging like crazy.

randomkeyhits

can now say definitely more crashes and in all sorts of situations,

browsing bank, using wayshrine, fighting dragon, logging into vivec city (thats a bad one) just riding across the map, its now any time any place, any activity.

Its not consistent though, several hours play and crash, login and crash, worst possible time, crash....

before this update I'd say i had maybe 2 or 3 crashes a month. In the last week had over a dozen, didn't think to count but at least two a day.

RedGirl41

Actually terrible. Long load screens. Bg W is broken, blue screens in every zone. Last night in pvp my group bluescreen a total of 34 times. Currently we have been grouped for 1 hour and already at 12 bluescreens @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_BrianWheeler @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Hotdog_23

Crashed and stuck in loading screens is terrible right now. Performance has definitely dropped by a good margin.

redlink1979

My update:

EU/NA overland - Had several blue screens yesterday and Saturday. Some of them not on crowded areas... Fps also drop at some locations, despite of having many players around or not.

EU/NA Dragon fights are still a struggle: system doesn't load data fast enough (it seems), can't see some of the dragon's attacks, aoes and mobs.

EU/NA Dungeons and trials are running smooth so far (normal, vet and vet HM).

NA Cyro was +- experience: I had several blue screens on Saturday, but it ran ok most of the time (4/5 blue screens during 4/5 hours)

If its cyrodil you speak of then its still garbage. I dont have to play this game, or play on ps4, to tell you its not better. It will never be better because unfortunately we got cursed with a company that made a great game but doesn't give a damn about maintaining it. They will just keep barfing out updates and cashing in on cosmetics til they run it into the ground.

This "end of q4" performance update was a joke. Nothing was going to change or get better because they dont take it serious.

Syrusthevirus187

Its far worse

SpiderKnight

So are we getting some kind of acknowledgement on this, or are they busy writing their end of year letter on how they're *** killing it?

Load screens still a problem in the middle of a fight in cyrodil, crashes when there's no lag and standing still, anywhere in the game, crashes porting into major cities, crashing while decorating. Killing it!
