    Framerate drops on PS4

    Hello, to all my fellow PS4 players out there recently (Since Patch 3.4) I have been experiencing random bursts of framerate drops. Today right after turning my ps4 on and logging in the framerate drops were already starting. Lately the fan on my PS4 gets kinda loud, but only when playing FFXIV, I moved my PS4 to a more open area so it could intake more air but it's still being loud. What steps can I take to fix this? I also checked the side vents for dust, and removed quite a lot of dust, the only thing I can think of is if the inside of my PS4 is dusty or their is dust buildup on the fan. The only question is how to remove it without having to take apart the PS4 which I feel uncomfortable doing.

    Edit: Just thinking now, could it also have something to do with the HDMI cord that is being used?

    That's the thing. It could be anywhere. In a 4 man dungeon, or while sitting in the Mist at my FC house with no other people there. It's completely random. It gets worse when using skills. For example sitting at my FC house right now and using Benefic II, I get the frame rate drop. This never has happened before up until Patch 3.4

    weird, never had this happen to me. I don't think it would be your HDMI cable, maybe either your network or where you are.

    Hmmm, I get 155 mbps down speeds and my ps4 is hooked right up to the router. I've never had this problem before
