PS4 is essentially unplayable right now

Auberon1983 · November 2020

Just about every single bug that was present on PC, is present in the PS4 release, including the weird text bug in the "Lover" tree (champion points).

The Harrowstorm at Hailstone bugged out something awful: it was stuck in a perpetual loop, red cyclone, lightning strikes that dealt damage, but no enemies, and no pikes. This caused my to be perpetually stuck in combat, and I could not logout under normal means, including the /logout command in the chat bar. I was all the way at the Solitude stables and still was "stuck in combat".

On the way to Solitude, runestone nodes and ore deposits were giving out just obscene amounts of resources. One rubedite deposit gave me 18 ore, and I went from having around 12 Kuta runes, to well over 50 of them, in just a 15 minute span.

Attempting to travel to the new Wayshrine in the new Reach area results in a guaranteed CTD for me, so I didn't even get to enjoy falling through the earth or having my screen freeze in a new dungeon. I will, however, give credit where it is due; lag/latency is essentially non-existent right now, even in highly populated areas (Solitude, Daggerfall, etc).

Yes, I have submitted tickets for these issues.

sorry, i didn't read your post tbh, but did you try resetting your internet connection or contacting your ISP?

thx for ongoing patience?

I crashed 3 times within 4 minutes. I'm taking a long break. This is worst then CWC 2017.

Welcome to Markarth

An absolute joke this has been released when they actually knew prior. It's not as if they didn't know until mass testing took place, but this was simply never the case here.

Probably worse as consoles tend to be weaker, too compensate ESO are better tuned towards the hardware than on pc, this should however make crashes more likely.

ive been on ps4 all day today had not one issue there , and i wouldn't being saying this if untrue i moved from ps4 to PC due to poor game there but today it was good (sorry to say) for me that is but i know that not every player get the same outcome all the time so i might have got lucky

To be honest with all the bugs and broken mechanics, I'm beyond disappointed.
I can't actually believe that this broken patch was even released.
Why, why would it not be held back a week or 2 until it was functional.
I believe all progression raids have been put on hold, people were just raging yesterday.
You can't really la weave range now.
Certain skills bug out and lag you.
Porting randomly to no where zones.
Blue screen after blue screen.
Really get your stuff together this is actually disrespectful to your customers releasing this kind of atrocious broken garbage.
The only positive is vvh however with the la and skill delay garbage it's a shadow of what it could have been.
As a player since console release I'm pissed.

Not like all those things were surprise to zenimax, just half a month of a broken game ahead, what a joy

Had a great time playing last night, didn't have the issues players are complaining about in this thread [PS4] ...Hmmm? The new house in Markarth is cool, even has a lift right to the thieves den, Nice! Looking forward to jumping back in after work today and see what antiquities I can unearth so I can add them to my free house in Skyrim.

I amazed how well they copied Markarth's layout compared to the original Skyrim, still getting lost in that city (ha) and Arkthzand Cavern is simply amazing to see.

Yes.. I wonder how many of these are sitting on each of the devs' desk. ha ha

Well, history of ESO repeats itself with every new installment of DLCs and chapters. The game wreaks havoc with crashes, freezes, bugs and glitches following for a couple to few weeks thereafter. Given kudos and praises to the devs and ZOS team for creating and maintaining such a grand game; however, it is times like these when you just want to surround their studios with mudball ballistas and let loose for hours on end at them. Ha ha. Yes, the game freezes and crashes are back in full force. Been crashing and freezing up just moving about, multiple crashes and freezes at dolmen and just loading up in the character screen. Most of all, crashes and freezes during combat and your toon is laying dead after you reboot back in. Ha ha ha. Took about 40 minutes and finally completed my one dolmen daily. Yayyy! ***sigh***

Under PS4 support we're told to power cycle, clear data, &/or reinstall game, open ticket...not looking good so far.

I wonder what PlayStation has to say about this.

UPDATE 11.10.2020: Rebuild Database (2min for me) under PS4 Safemode has allowed me to access my bugged characters.

I'm not sure if this will last, after the update yesterday I was able to login two times with a character prior to the game locking me out on those characters.

I tried to swap out weapons last night to mess with the new Ice staff and now I can't equip anything at all....havn't tried as of yet today though but currently all my char can do for LA/HA is punch things.
