PS4 players - how's performance after the patch?

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.

Same for me.
I was initially very impressed with the performance. (You can see my replies on page 1)

The first few days were amazing, but since then I've been getting horrendous lag and blue screens.
Had about two days of hope, but now things have returned to what it was.
Did another reinstall, but this time nothing has changed.

🤦‍♂️

I re-downloaded the game and lag is much better, even in cyrodiil. However the game is still crashing both in cyro and in normal overland zones. Many of the crashes are when there isn't much going on, not always in the middle of fights, its just as likely to occur riding across an empty field or teleporting to town, or even going through the door of an inn. It's very unstable at the moment.

Every single night my pvp group of 12 people bluescreens 30+ times within 3 hours of being grouped up. THE OTHER NIGHT WAS 52 BLUESCREENS. Can anyone at least acknowledge this @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_BrianWheeler each patCh becomes more of a joke. Nothing was even fixed. Pc Eu is getting wrecked and console is 100% neglected. At least give us account transfers so we can leave console 🙄

I still lag at wayshrines, still crashing intermittently, and slow loading screens. So i haven't really noticed any difference from before.

Somber97866 · November 2019

Somehow the ppl who had troubles got fixed and the ppl who didn't got broken! This is about par for the course

Constant blue screens. I’m on PS4 Pro with fiber optic internet. Disconnects are by far worse than before. Maybe once a week or so and now it’s 3-5 times a day

SillyGT · November 2019

Anyone that tells you that it’s great in pvp is lying. You’re game crashes at least every 20 minutes. You can be in a completely unpopulated area and just opening your inventory can make your game crash. Pvp on ps4 is awful you can’t stay in the game more than 30 minutes and if you are lucky enough to not have a blue screen, you’ll hit a load screen mid fight for minutes. It’s so unfair and unplayable I’m sure it’s fine in questing areas but in cyrodiil “performance” is worse than its ever been.

Just in the span of an hour it happened to me literally 26 times. I wish I was lying. For a performance update it’s horrible. I don’t get how this is even acceptable?

This probably happens if MMO software is tested in a small lab under time pressure
instead of testing in a real MMO environment with adequate time.
At the current state, PvP is virtually unplayable. ZOS is killing PvP on console.

Playing be like....

Hotdog_23 · November 2019

Terrible. Honestly the worse it has ever been for me personally. Either crashing or endless loading screens so that that I have to close the game form the main menu of the ps4 and restart the game. BG's work about 25% of the time.

kylewwefan · November 2019

New patch is just one week old now. I’ve much better experience with it now. Loads of blue screens. Crashes. Unusually long load screens. Someone told me about deleting the save data file. It’s a 3mb file. It did not seem to help, and lost all my settings that I’m slowly trying to re configure now.

It was pretty good day one Of the patch. Now it’s not so great.

CassandraGemini · November 2019

Honestly, by now I really don't know anymore. Some days it's good, sometimes even great. Very short load times, group finder works very fast, no bluescreens, everything reacts the way it's supposed to... and then other days it's nothing but a load of bull, where I get disconnected all the time, it lags like crazy in unpopulated areas, skills don't trigger no matter how carefully I aim, and the bar swap is completely out of tune, to a point where it sometimes doesn't react at all for several seconds. Which is absolutely great while PUGging a dungeon and trying to be a reliable dps.

*Irony off

But obviously no one is going to acknowledge this, let alone do something about it, so I don't know why I even bother writing this.

SickleCider · November 2019

Coming back to update. I've had about five bluescreens since the patch. They don't seem to be related to any particular occurrence that I can see. PS4 PRO with 4G internet. Dragons started behaving a little erratically last night, pivoting in place. I can remember one very bad health desync. The "mount bug" has returned. Friends' game froze twice while trying to log in. Somehow, this is still better than things were before.

RedGirl41 · November 2019

My group bluescreens about 30 times a night during 3 hours of pvp @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_BrianWheeler imagine everyone in the game.... That’s hundreds of bluescreens per hour on ps4 NA alone

valeriiya · November 2019

I'm on my 4th blue screen in 2 hours. Two were trying to get to the character select screen

So far today has been very stable for me, and yes loads have been much faster.

Pro isnt a different console you know, it's a tiny overclock on the ps4 so you will suffer the same as ps4 users eventually

RedGirl41 · November 2019

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_BrianWheeler hello?

RedGirl41 · November 2019

Had to disband pvp group tonight cuz we all kept blue screen crashing during each fight @ZOS_RichLambert

and the stability of games on the pro is demonstrably leagues better.... hence my comment. Even now, although I am experiencing frequent blue screens, it's nowhere near on the level of what standard PS4 users experience.

It's because right now there is a memory leak in the game in high population areas, it's been fixed on PC, but we've yet to get the patch. The PS4 Pro can handle the memory leak a little bit better.

GoNutsDK · November 2019

In my experience on a PS4 PRO EU with a good internet connection the game is barely playable at times. Cyrodill is a joke at this point (loadscreen, loadscreen and bluescreen). Dlc dungeons often runs very poorly with crazy lag spikes etc. Some days mechanics on hard mode bosses doesn't even show. I have yet to get any response from tickets.

NA usually runs better than EU even though I live in the latter. But the prospect of having to grind to 810 again doesn't appeal to me. The sad part is that this game is very fun when it actually works and shows so much potential. All in all, I cancelled my subscription and won't return before they fix this mess.

Another one bites the dust... Can’t wait for all the ZOS white knights to point to Steam trends, while the game keeps bleeding players on console!

I’m still here...

The same is said about the Xbox One and Xbox One X...I sincerely beg to differ. I own both versions and can competently tell you using identical connections that the "Pro" version (at least for Xbox I can speak on) is a better console to play on.

El_Borracho · November 2019

Blue screens are up, voice chat is still kaput, and travelling to group members is dicier than ever

Shardaxx · November 2019

So I'm leveling a new char and played for several hours tonight doin solo PVE stuff, and not a single crash, so that's cool. I also went and killed 3 dragons, it was pretty busy but again no problems. Cyrodiil is still bad tho.

RedGirl41 · November 2019

Is console really going to wait u til feb/March for these blue screens to be fixed? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert

redlink1979 · December 2019

Saturday n Sunday in NA prime time were so frustrating to me. I tried to get the tickets by killing dragons but I soon as I reached a dragon, fps would drop insanely until the game froze. Then a message saying I didn't have a valid internet connection popped.

And my internet connection never stopped working, I was connected the whole time...

After 5 times in a row in each day, I quitted trying to get the tickets in the NA server.

Game was working kind of ok in areas where there wasn't dragons.

PS - Got at least 2 blue screen per gaming session, despite the number of players around me and despite of the zone I was at.
