Unbelievable amount of crashing on console

SillyGT · November 2019

So tonight just trying to have a good time with some friends and over the span of roughly 3 and a half hours we as a group (12 people max) in total 34 game crashes I wish I was making this up we experienced something similar yesterday when it was release day for dragon hold and tonight we wanted to see how many times it could happen this patch is actually enjoyable compared to the previous one but it’s literally unplayable 34 crashes in total is ridiculous please look into this it makes my friends and I want to uninstall and I’m sure others feel the same people are complaining about it in every zone not just cyrodiil and it’s constantly everywhere and anytime just yesterday was averaging about 2-3 crashes an hour for a performance patch it’s seems like an awful start for console players

PC EU wants to have a word with you

SillyGT · November 2019

This is happening across all consoles and apparently pc eu as well zos please don’t look past this and also please don’t make console wait 2-3 months after pc receives a hot patch by then more than half will already be done and uninstalled if you wait to long this shouldn’t even release like this if you think about it what’s the point of the pts if it doesn’t actually test performance this is the main issue everyone cares about yeah new stuff to look at is cool but 90% of people would rather only performance updates than new content

Which console?

I played 6 hours on XBox last night and had zero crashes. It was actually really smooth in comparison to some previous updates. The day before I had 1 crash in about the same amount of time.

I haven't yet crashed on XB either (NA), but I'm on an XB One X with an SSD. I noticed a few longer than normal load screens (meaning over a minute) but nothing too bad.

Granted, I wasn't in Southern Elsweyr most of the time and I don't PvP.

I’m also on the One X. I was in Southern Elsweyr for probably 75% of my playtime the last 2 days. I do usually PVP but only did that for like an hour 2 days ago.

SillyGT plays PS4 NA server. I do too. I have only been in PvE zones the past few days but I had three crashes last night, one when just farming. PS4Pro console. Was in roughly the same areas prior to this week's DLC update and I had no trouble.

The crash is the usual PlayStation CE-34878-0 error that blows you out of the game and asks you to file a report. I suspect it's memory-management related.

If I'm seeing them in PvE, I can't imagine how bad PvP must be with all that action and abilities going off at once. Hope it gets addressed soon.

There is a new Pig pet in a store. Maybe to try that.

GreenhaloX · November 2019

Been like this since before the Witches fest. Yeah, good grief..

Kuramas9tails · November 2019

Same for me. It seems to be a consistent crash for me when entering Senchels main building but random everywhere else. It's getting really hard to play like this.

LOL, how can you tell any difference between patches running in a ball group all the time?

Please elaborate. What does running in a ball group have to do with being unable to tell the differences between patches?

I didn’t type it but a lot actually. If you solo a lot many of these issues are small to nonexistent (at least on XB) while balling 10, 20 or 50 people together to nuke things in PVP pretty much begs for the system to choke on itself.

I’m not gonna say anything against the play style, it’s your game - do you, but a ball group is basically asking for trouble with that amount of effects on the screen.

Edit - some past patches have made ESO completely unplayable with the worst in my memory being the Dark Brotherhood patch. I couldn’t PVP for 2 months.

Eh the game is supposed to be able to handle what the devs put in. They marketed this game to having 3faction / 3 way large scale fights, they should be able to deliver and make Cyrodiil function properly as they put this feature in.

You’re 100% correct. Not gonna argue that. Just stating that if you are in a ball group, you are definitely doing your best at pushing the game to the limits so if it’s gonna crash that’s the most likely time.

Edit - I’m also pretty sure that the devs had a grand plan of 100 people fighting at once all sort of spaced out from each other, not literally all in the exact same place. It’s bad planning but after 5 years I don’t see any proof that they actually expected it to play out that way.

Hahaha you beat me to it. I've personally been pushed to a blue screen when he and his stupid group roll up

GrimTheReaper45 · November 2019

I have noticed an increase too.

Porting into trials, fast traveling, talking to npcs. Also I have noticed a lot of load screen freezes.

TequilaFire · November 2019

He is in a ball group not a zerg. lol
Silly's group is fun to fight.

HansaBergen · November 2019

I wish I could see the crash part. But you have to be able to login for that. Going into day 2 with no login. Gg zeni.

doomette · November 2019

More for me too, though that may partly be because playing on an old XBox One.

Balling creates lag.

Tan9oSuccka · November 2019

I’m on PS4 NA. I’m noticing a regression in server performance.

I rarely crashed in PVE, now it’s much more common. *shrugs*

SillyGT · November 2019

Again trying to pvp and with 40 mins 9 crashes in a group of 10 people how it’s this even acceptable??

Saw you in Cyrodiil about an hour ago.

You were with more than 10 yellows. More like 20/25.

Either way..you're correct. It's unacceptable, even if you were running with 50...shouldn't matter.

Wellcome in the crashing club.

Sincerely,
a fellow MAC player

NekoTashi · November 2019

I sincerely hope this game doesn't change like Fallout 4 (PS4), where every move you do, the game crashes. The Fallout 4 crashes started to happen when they released the creation club update. After years of sending tickets, they still won't fix it. They claim its Sony's fault and Sony claims its Bethesda's fault. As a result, neither of them bothered working together to fix the issue at hand. So yeah, I really hope this great game doesn't get the same fate as Fallout 4.

*P.S.: For now, my game works well. I did have 2 game crashes yesterday so far. But not as severe like in Fallout 4 (yet).
