ESO update 1.48 for PS4 and Xbox One is now rolling out for players. According to the official ESO 1.48 patch notes, the new Elder Scrolls Online update 1.48 includes some fixes for dragons and dragon abilities, quests in Elsweyr and elsewhere (pun definitely intended), and a fix for the missing pledge from Urgarlag Chief-bane. Apart from this, the new ESO version 1.48 also implemented several fixes for the Guild Finder system and a resolution for the issue with pets not being affected by battle leveling (this includes the pet used with Blastbones).
Previously, a big Elsweyr update 22 was released with new item sets (including Perfected versions only found in Veteran Sunspire Trial), a number of new Collectibles, Dyes, and Titles, a new crafting ingredient, and even a unique expandable house that you’ll unlock simply by completing a portion of the main story. Unfortunately, many players are still facing a number of problems when trying to play the game online. Today’s ESO PS4 update 1.48 expected to solve a few of these problems. Check out more details below.
ESO Update 1.48 Patch Notes (Updated)
Fixtures

General
- Fixed a rare issue where your character would be affected by Dragon attacks from other players in combat when you weren’t actually in combat with the Dragon.
- Pahmar-raht can no longer be killed using the Blade of Woe. Sorry.
Dragons
- Dragons will now animate to turn more accurately.
- ESO 1.48 fixed an issue where a Dragon engaged in combat with a solo player would sometimes not turn to face that player at vast distances.
- Fixed an issue where health bars wouldn’t appear to reset.
Dragon Abilities
- The Headbutt ability now hits players who are farther away.
- Fixed an issue where Bleed would immediately tick on a player hit by Bite.

Sunspire Trial
- Made several changes to the Wing Thrash ability:

- Fixed a Runestone that couldn’t be harvested.
- All Repair Kits found in Half-Digested Adventurer’s Backpacks will now be Grand Repair Kits. While the Adventurers who were devoured by Dragons were decidedly not Grand, you can’t fault their taste in Repair Kits anymore.
Achievements

General

- Blastbones skeletons accompanying Euraxian Necromancers in the tutorial now aggro with their masters.
- Fixed an issue where Arum-Khal was respawning way too slowly. He was also buffed at this stage, since he was apparently made of paper previously.
Quests
- Bright Moons, Warm Sands:
- Fixed an issue where you could become blocked if you crashed, logged out, or timed out before you performed the sneak attack tutorial on the skeleton. You will no longer be prompted to crouch when reaching the Stealth tutorial if you are already crouched.
- Jode’s Core:
- ESO patch 1.48 fixed an issue where, if you crashed or were kicked out of the Plane of Jode on the quest step “Leave the Plane of Jode”, you would be directed to a place slightly off-center of where you needed to stand to advance.
- Fixed an issue if you were standing too far away from the center of the battlefield, Abnur’s warning to get into his shield wouldn’t reach your ears. Speakers. Whatever.
- Fixed an issue where Zamarak wasn’t helping you fight Euraxians unless you pulled them within melee range.
- Fixed an issue where you wouldn’t get a door pin over Cadwell’s exit portal after completing the activity.
- The Jewel of Baan’dar: Fixed a chest associated with this quest that was visible to players not actually on the quest.

- The Battle for Riverhold:
- Fixed an issue where Bahlokdaan’s health bar reset to an inappropriate value if your character died during the encounter.
- Fixed an issue if you ran very far away from Zamarak while he was kneeling at a shrine to consecrate it, he wouldn’t receive a trigger to get back up once it was done (leading it to appear like he got stuck or despawned somewhere along the way). Zamarak, you have failed this city!
- Two Queens:
- ESO PS4 patch 1.48 fixed an issue where other players’ Zamaraks would stack up on each other. This is not how Khajiit try to get to the moons.

- Crippling Grasp: Fixed an issue where the Snare and Immobilize from this ability would apply to their target, then immediately fall off.
