It went to BLUE SCREEN on my ps4... 5 Times today!
I don't get it, unplayable... anyone else on the PS4 having this issue?

EDIT:

I think its caused by SETS that do some kind of effect like GLOOM set and STORM KNIGH... when it triggers it BREAKS the game sometimes... can someone tell this to ZENIMAX somehow?

    XBOX as well.

    S.

    Edit: ~20 DCs during vHRC last night; freeze in character load screen; freeze at crafting tables; freeze when porting back to previous zone after leaving Dungeon; crash about 1 in 3 Battlegrounds; the list goes on. This is insane.

    Edit 2: Nov.27 - everyone freeze in vCastle Thorn.

    Edit 3: Nov.27 - took 7 tries to port to my group in nHRC

    Edit 4: only 5 DCs in vHRC tonight.

    no, crashing a lot on xbox. 4 times within the last hour in the reach :(

    This is NA, on EU with far less players it is better but still happens, maybe 6 times an evening.

    Normal overland gameplay, delves, harrowstorms, worldbosses.

    Sometimes I'm completely fine, sometimes I find that I'll have a run of blue screens or freezes.

    Oh yeah, game's still crashing and freezing up; though, not as much as before this recent patch. Still freezing up during character loading, during combat or just standing there. Same as usual, but seemingly just about 50% less than before. I'm still seeing other players/characters laying about dead at dragon pits and world bosses and whatnot; oh yeah, from game crashes.

    Yep, game just got stuck in vashm earlier at 10 percent. Came back, blue screened on character screen.

    Front Kite crashed 4 times.
    On avg, 2-3 people crashed per pull.

    That's just from the last 3 hours.

    Crashing out isn’t a PS exclusive. We have it on XB as well. Last night nCR+3 we lost a healer and tank on one run, healer and tank on second run, 3dps and a tank on the 3rd run. I lost at least 1 person each time I ran Scalecaller, Fang Lair, MHK and MGF today. All randoms i should add, because who doesn’t love a DLC every time your queue up?

    PS4 NA. Yesterday was the first day I've gone into Gray Host since this campaign started. I didn't have high hopes, but I miss PvP and have gotten through most of the new DLC content, so I went for it and played most of the day. I froze five times and had to close and restart the game (once while defending a Scroll!!!! 🤬). I went back in today and in less than a half hour, I froze, restarted the game, and then blue screened about 15 minutes later. It's so discouraging as this is the only game I like to play. The worst part is, I'm going to keep trying to play because I have nothing better to do today.

    I was. By and large, the recent patch did in fact help my crashing issues. At one point I couldn't actually enter the Reach, as the Wayshrine was a guaranteed CTD. Now, however, I'm running into these weird, half freezes, where the screen and music freeze, and a strange "electronic noise" comes out my TV speakers. Holding the home button on the controller seems to, for whatever reason, fix it. I have a PS4 Slim, so I don't know if model has anything to do with it. It's strange, for some users (all platforms) the game is actually "literally unplayable", for others no issues at all, and the rest somewhere in between.

    I usually crash every other hour or so.

    Usually when something big is happening, like a World Boss fight.

    I crash a little. Nothing like some other ppl. What I do get and is more annoying than a crash imo is the little freezes, happens constantly. Very slight but they prevent me from using skills and barswaping.

    Everyone kept telling ZOS to not turn the game upside down every single patch in their hopes of making people farm and refarm and re-do everything.

    They didn't listen. And then they broke everything.

    End of story.

    I know this is a ps4 thread, but xbox na has been unbearable this weekend. Multiple long load screens just trying to get to the character screen, screen freezing but audio still working in cyro and trials and having to quit the app as it doesnt boot me from the game (decided to test this and after 15mins i was still there stuck).

    I haven't blue screened since the update, BUT now I'm just freezing a couple of times a day. Tonight, a friend and myself had froze at the same time, but we could still talk to each other in group chat as if nothing had happened, until we had to close app.

    Crashing a lot of XBOX too. Sometimes in dungeons with lots of aoes, sometimes I'm wandering around the middle of nowhere and it's just BAM back to home screen. Followed by a load of "you're already logged in" messages.

    I take it back. It's still worst as ever. Took 9 ffing dolmens to complete the fight guild's daily. Been crashing at practically every world boss pits and dragon last couple of days. Same as usual; crashing when moving on mount and foot.. and just standing about. Ha ha

    Bethesda and ZOS.. love you guys. Kudos, praises and bowing down to your level of expertise in creating and developing such a high detailed and expansive game. However, please do not make another MMO. You guys do not excel at all in the maintenance and patching aspects in ESO. Instead, expand on Skyrim, or develop Skyrim 2 or another such award-winning single player games.

    Yes, I had 4 or 5 last night in cyro. Mostly freeze screens and have to kill the app and reload. Also game crashes as soon as you join a group, unable to join voice chats, and kicks for "excessive spamming". It's a shame because before the Reach most of these issues had been sorted, but now they're back with a vengeance.

    Couldn't finish vet scalecaller due to each time Zaan picked up her shield it would blue screen at least two people, but mostly 3. We tried it 10+times and each time she threw the shield and went to pick it up most of the group would blue screen.
