How is the PS4 game performance?

Like the title says. How is the PS4 performance? Has it gotten any better?

Tried playing a couple months ago and I found it very laggy.... Espescially in pvp. Have they improved it yet? Same with the long loading screens and slow loading of npc and players.

This game was really fun and I would like to play it again but I just can't handle the lag in pvp and the long load times.

    I see no abnormally long load times indicative of an issue server-side.

    This is a little bit subjective. How well the game does also depends on your internet connection, or if its wired/wireless. Plus how far are you from the servers.
    slow loading of npc and players.

    That has gone away.

    Now if you're talking about Scourge, when blues/reds/yellow stack up en mass numbers, you will definitely see lag. If you're playing small scale in a campaign like Chillrend or Skull of Corruption, you probably won't encounter very much lag. It's just when you see well over 70+ of any faction running around a keep is when the lag starts to become a thing. Doesn't matter the campaign.

    Only thing I am really seeing is long load screens after engaging in large fights. Sometimes crashing too.

    But I am running off of a hardwired connection though. So take it for what it is.

    Usually lagging in PVP once you get to 20 + people in a fight and going through the the breech 'en masse' where there might be 50 or more people is really pot luck on weather you can survive the lag. I don't know if this is the same across all platforms but suspect it might be the case.

    Outside of PVP I only really see long load times when going to main cities or in peak times. Slow loading of NPC's has improved a lot since the last patch.

    In trials my frame rate self destructs, but other than that I don't have much issues.

    Much better than what it was.

    100% better. Quite playable, unlike before. Hoping for a Neo version announcement which should bring things even more in line with PC.

    FAR better than before.

    However...,
    • There is a new crashing issue in trials and is especially prevalent in vMoL.
    • There is a serious grouping issue that happens almost every time you try to group up which is both annoying and hard to detect. Usually need to relog 2-3 times a day because of the new issue.

    Performance-wise (FPS, stutters, NPCs & stuff loading, etc) the game is much, much better :)

    lag will never go away in cyrodiil

    de-synced deaths are all the rage, the cool kids love it

    light attacking is broken

    abilities sometimes just don't work and you end up doing a funny little dance

    just don't do any trials and you will be fine

    monsters now animations cancel

    dont use minor aegis or minor slayer, it doesn't work

    stay away from group finder

    the major breaks are coming in the next update when all the PTS bugs and glitches make it in the console version, again because ZOS have learned this after 15 months

    apart from that and a thousand other bugs and glitches, the game is great!

    It's not as good as it was before all these DLC came out and glitched the game to catastrophical levels. But it's managable, in less populated areas at least. Still needs a universe of improvements
