Many ppl have complained regarding Constant disconnects or bluescreens. YES, this may happen very frequently for many. Ppl are quick to blame ESO and their programming etc. BUT, it is NOT always the programming. In fact, if some ppl would do some research, look at all the variables as to why they might be getting bluescreened or disconnects. One might be surprised in regards to the actual underlining issues. Some TIPS herein, will also be applicable to Xbox console. Although the Main Tips apply to PS4 console.

Sometimes, it may be eso, your internet, your router firewalls, outdated firmware, or router firmware may need to manually be updated..... because the existing firmware is soooo outdated while the eso game, other games, and playstation firmware updates regularly, including your modem from your provider! .

Console USERS: THE MOST COMMON, (often unknown to many, and not even thought about).... is your "USB PORT"

That's Right!
If YOU HAVE some other type of DEVICE plugged into your USB Port on your Playstation, other than what has been officially designed for your ps4 etc.

**eg: Many PPL are using the PORTS to CHARGE an Ipad, portable mp3 player device, perhaps.... s even worse, (YOUR CELLPHONE!) **
{{Yes, this somehow CAUSES PPL to BLUESCREEN or DISCONNECT.}}

▪▪▪(Try Removing ALL DEVICES, or Unknown devices from your USB ports. A GREATER percentage of you will notice that your disconnects are remedied. (I have personally repeatedly tested this issue). And in fact, it is legitimate. ( This TIP was at onet-ime available on the internet.) (I believe, it may have been available on the official psn website.)▪▪▪

Part 2 :

**Outdated game saves. Ps4 games saves contain the patches inside of the saves. You should DELETE ALL old game saves no longer in use. These older outdated saves exist in your console long after the game has been removed. ESPECIALLY PS4 if you do that Game Rental thing. Playstation unlimited or something. EACH GAME YOU PLAY adds a save file. The remnants of this.... can also cause issues with ESO ELDERSCROLLS ONLINE.
- (your saves should already be backed up online in your Playstation plus) - seeing how you have to have ps plus on order to play elderscrolls online.

PART 3.

You can goto the OFFICIAL PLAYSTATION WEBSITE to obtain and follow the directions for SAFE-MODE, And basically do a CLEAN-UP and type of DEFRAG for your Playstation. There are 2 Selects which you will want to do. ONE is to REBUILD DLLs. Dynamic Link Library. THIS in turn will remove leftover coding or crap left behind from INSTALLS & UNINSTALLS and old game files.

The other option does a type of basic restore as well. - YOU WILL NOT LOSE your Game files.... and Will Not have to Reinstall your games. Providing you select the correct options by following the instructions efficiently. But, YOU WILL need to KNOW your password. - remember, after all is complete. Bring your playstation out of safe mode.

Not only will this restore SIGNIFICANT HEALTH to your Playstation, preserve the longevity of your HDD (Hard drive). It will also make your READ/WRITE times faster. The process will have reallocated your existing files to a new section of the harddrive. - (ssd-Solid State Drives) not incl. In this *if you upgraded your device).

After the ABOVE is complete. YOU WILL Discover that you have much less disconnects, much LESS LAAAAGG.Games Load Faster! Less dropping of Frame-Rates etc.

Part 4. **LAG - and/or Frame-Rate drops.***
Most DO NOT KNOW THIS.

** If the Above does not resolve your Lag or framerate issues. Then TRY CHANGING the HDMI Cable! -《I have done this numerous of times with multiple units.》 YOU just Might be Surprised!
Yes, the HDMI Cables... can eventually crap out. (I will not go into the explanation on it at this time).

The Last thing regarding lag amd framerate drops. May have something to do with your television which you use. --- Do reviews on gaming televisions. Find out which televisions have the best HDMI speeds etc.

However, before running out to buy a new television. Please CHECK YOUR SETTINGS. Do a DEFAULT on your Television after you have followed the Above Steps. And ...


NOTE:
If you have a SPECIFIC dedicated HDMI port for "Gaming" - use it!

If your Television has a SETTING CALLED "GAME" - Use it! ... yes the quality will slightly change. But these are specially designed optimized system settings which are SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED for Gaming, gaming speeds, framerates, and overall safety of yourself amd your DEVICES.

Some information im here, ... can apply to Xbox's as well.

I hope you all find this post informative and helpful.

(((((UPDATED)))))
ADDED: **I almost forgot! That for some LAG issues... and disconnects
You may also want to TRY THE FOLLOWING:

1. Reset your modem and router by unplugging it and/or pushing the a pen into the little pinhole (reset button) often found in back of modem.

2. If hardwired to a router or modem. (Cabled),
Go into YOUR Playstation or Xbox SETTINGS, goto NETWORK, Set-up new network, select "Automatic" --
(This will dump the cache, and find a new DHCP
(DYNAMIC HOSTING PROTOCOL) - basically, assigning a new IP address to your system, one that is less congested. (Shared with neighbours etc.) Thus also increasing YOUR OVERALL Internet Speed! and addressing some Lag issues as well. -- This SHOULD be done Periodically anyways.

***In addition: if you happen to get disconnected from server and try to LOG back in, and receive a message that "THIS ACCT. Is already logged in" "or in use" -

¤¤¤<< (Solution) >> ¤¤¤
by following the steps I just mentioned here, most often will log you back in immediately without having to wait the ppossibly 10-20min server hang delay.
