8 crashes in 90mins of attempting to play.

Hardly crashed at all before the ‘fix’.

Please sort this out.

Make that 10.

    I travelled to Southern Elsweyr, waited at the wayshrine for 5 minutes for a dragon to appear, ran to it, killed it and ran back to the wayshrine, and for that whole time every other player was just a black silhouette and I didn't see a single skill animation. I couldn't even say 100% that they actually fired. Repeat for Northern Elsweyr. Didn't have any actual crashes in the short time I lasted before logging out again (tho I seem to be in the minority there) but that doesn't make it much more playable

    Every patch makes things worse on PC too.

    They are going to have to rebuild ESO from the ground up to fix these issues. If they could patch their way out of it, they would have years ago.

    Was 'only' getting 1-2 crashes every 4 hours before the patch. Crashed within 15 minutes with the new patch today (froze trying to port to Senchall).

    After I launched the game, it froze before character select. It wouldn't even let me hit the PS button to the main menu. I had to pull the plug out to restart. This game is making me do damage to my ps4. I'm reporting this to Sony.

    I have reported the issues to Sony. It will probably have no effect. But I felt the need to do something. I’m consistently getting my money taken and not receiving a service.

    Gonna need more than that. That's all we ever get info wise followed up by a more broken game the next patch.
    Looks like the studio seems to be working well out of its depth. Bugs that don't get fixed, new ones every patch that persist to this date, no transparency, shots in the dark on changes, won't show data to back up claims, and patch after patch things get worse over getting better. Where is this landslide headed?

    Pulling your cord doesn't damage the machine. Worst it can do is corrupt your saves.

    More corrupt saves on top of Zos’ corrupt game is enough corruption for me.

    Your saves clearly weren't corrupted as they're saved on the servers end... I just meant in general that's the worst that can happen when you pull the cord - and only if the system is actively saving or loading when you do it.

    This did nothing to break your console, you're just being hyperbolic. Wasting Sony's time with false reports of it breaking your machine isn't going to fix anything.

    That’s it. I give up on this game. Each patch I return to the forums in the hope that maybe, just maybe, ZOS has managed to figure things out, only to be disappointed. Over, and over again. I’m done. :(

    I can't feed with pack to turn into a werewolf. I know this has always been buggy but now I can cast fragmented shield in werewolf form. I'd say this game has hit rock bottom but I know it will continue to reach new lows.

    You don’t even know what I put in my report. A false report? I reported precisely what was happening. You’re attacking me for being hyperbolic? Don’t respond to me next time. If I pay for a game to work, and it doesn’t someone’s gonna hear me.

    You said you reported for the game making you damage your console. You said it, not me. It's hyperbolic because unplugging it does NOT damage it. You did not damage your console, nor did the game make you damage your console. I'm not "attacking" you.

    ZoS, at some point, wouldn't it be worth it to hire an outside firm to come in and go through your systems and help you clean up any messes that need serious attention before people completely lose their minds??

    In other news, the crown store is running PERFECTLY as it always has and always will.

    I feel like the only lucky soul who saw improvement with today’s patch. No blue screens for me (yet) when I was averaging 1-2 per hour in overland PvE post-Dragonhold update and before this morning.

    However, the number of PC players in here saying “welcome to our world” makes me want to tag a certain PC player who has seemingly made it his or her mission in life to dive into every PS4 thread, wag their finger, and blame US for these issues. I’m confused, now. According to them, the fault was our hardware and our poor choice of choosing to play ESO on console rather than PC. You mean to tell me that PC... gasp... has similar issues?

    Say it ain’t so. It might murder that person’s high horse and I’m against mount abuse.

    PS4 NA before the patch blue screens in Cyrodiil almost every hour, sometimes back to back, specifically during large battles. Now I can’t even get into Cyrodiil without a blue screen and constant frame delays. I can’t believe I’m paying for this ***, if I wanted a *** game experience I could get that for free on any McDonald’s WiFi with a $200 laptop. If ZOS wants new players they have a crappy way of showing it but maybe it just all boils down to them really being unable to competently implement a game without stability issues, I mean since this game came out it’s had quality issues and I think for me I figured it would just get better with time but it’s just been the opposite.
