A colossal patch update of 15.9 GB for the PlayStation 4 version of "Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited" has been released this week. The reported patch version 01.04, according to IGN, is an accumulated patch of 01.01 until 01.03 of the game. The patch brings new gaming features and improve the game's performances, queue system and gameplay.
However, IGN described the patch version 01.04 as a bit "frustrating" to some players, and even the "Elder Scrolls Online" team has acknowledged the same and said that it plans to avoid an accumulated patch in the future.
The game patch was announced via "Elder Scrolls Online" Twitter account: "Today's PS4 patch size is 15.9GB because it also includes patches 01.01 - 01.03. Keep an eye on the #ESOTU forums for updates," it reads.
The "Elder Scrolls Online" team said that it is planning to address the issues related to quests, UI, game play and art, which is reportedly an "ongoing work" in progress.
In addition, Eurogamer has listed the "Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited" general notes for Patch version 01.04.
Combat & Gameplay

If this occurs, players are advised to wait; the NPC should appear within 30 seconds.
----Grouped Veteran Rank player characters of any level will now receive both experience and loot credit, regardless of their contribution
-----Non-combat pets will now spawn into the game standing on the ground correctly, instead of sometimes being askew
