Unplayable PS4, maintenance does nothing.

Game on PS4 is running ok for me atm, certainly better than the crash and freeze fest we've experienced earlier in the year. I get the odd crash here and there, but its rare. Lag in Grey is terrible, but that's normal in there. Black is fine.

I have noticed a bit of lag in dungeons creeping in, which is a shame and its probably worse in Trials I expect. But generally things are better than they have been.

There are a few dungeons that can not be played at all without the group hard freezing and having to close and relaunch the game. This can occur multiple times. Wayrest, Fang Lair and one I can’t remember at the moment. Harrowstorms can cause crashes and freezing as well. There is also an issue when you freeze that the audio makes a loud buzzing sound. During a harrowstorm, my audio cuts out completely when the boom happens. Sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes it doesn’t come back at all until I leave the area.

I've cancelled all trials, won't roster in this mess.
- Last person, if not the last 3, get an automatic blue screen upon acceptance of group invite. Takes up to 30 minutes to just group into trial.
- Whole group dc's occasionally, super awesome when your running a trifecta prog.
- Have to play up close to be able to light weave, tried going full stamina comps ... helped a bit but desync is still an issue.
- Losing slayer/aegis when a dps dies is such a nuisance, have to stop to re-equip everything.
- Most worrisome to me is my PS4 is now occasionally making a loud BUZZZZZZZZ sound when I have a freeze screen. Others have also reported this issue. I can't imagine this is good for my machine.
I'm sure I could go on but will leave it there.

I've had the bzzzzz as well, I thought game had crashed but then it resumed after a couple of seconds. Weird.

The buzz is the audio from the server bugging out. It happens when the game freezes. It’s not your console.

The point is, these are serious issues that came with Markarth. Bugs are expected because no one really knows how new content is going to perform on the live server, which is a lot different than any PTS. But, when a large portion of the player base are having the issue then that issue should be prioritized.

I know PC had an actual patch and I’m now curious if the PC community are still crashing to desktop and having other issues or if it was fixed for them?

Honestly, my PS4 sounds like a 747 taking off since this patch dropped. It's never done that in 5 years. The only other game that this occurs in is Dead by Daylight, which is poorly optimised for console.

This all can't be good for the console

I get that buzz when the game freezes and since it is actually coming from the console I can't see it being an audio issue as the console itself doesn't have speakers, so the noise must be fan related I'd say. Not good and enough for me to stop playing ESO entirely. I'm not risking my console.
