You can feel powerless when it comes to blue screen crashes in The Division 2 on PS4. The CE-34878-0 error code is rearing its ugly, ugly head for many a Hyena-hater on launch day in The Division 2 and it can often lead to freezes, crashes, and ending missions without saving. In short, The Division 2 CE-34878-0 blue screen error will have you cursing and throwing your controller. But what if there’s a CE-34878-0 fix to get to grips with? While there’s not an outright way to stop crashes in The Division 2 on PS4, there’s plenty you can try to at least avoid continual restarts.
What is causing The Division 2 CE-34878-0 blue screen crash on PS4?
Despite it having a very specific error code, there’s nothing you can point to to say why a CE-34878-0 error code is in The Division 2; it is mostly a code to reference a general crash. Thankfully, it’s not likely to be an error on your end, though it’s still admittedly very concerning if it keeps happening to you. Below, we’ll look at what Ubisoft says you need to do if you have a blue screen crash in The Division 2.
The Division 2 CE-34878-0 blue screen crash fix
On a post from the Ubisoft forums, a Support Staff member recommends rebuilding your database on PS4. To do so, you’ll need to hold down your power button on your console until you hear two distinctive (and loud) beeps. Turn the console back on and you’ll be met by a few options. Select “Rebuild Database” and it might help fix the blue screen crashes.
Others have also referenced the fact that the Drone skill has been present in a bunch of their crashes. It might be worth you and your buddies swerving that skill for the time being if the CE-34878-0 crash persists. Speaking of your buddies, almost all instances of the crash happening in that thread refer to online groups. It may be a bitter pill to swallow, but doing things solo for a while could help alleviate the nasty case of crash-itis that’s plaguing your PS4.
But, if that doesn’t work, you’re going to need to start note-taking. Ubisoft will need any and all data it can get its hands on. Scribble down locations, missions, and whatever else you were doing at the time of the crash and forward them on to Ubisoft Support on Twitter. The sooner the devs can get to the root of the problem, the better. A patch may very well be imminent if that’s the case.

The Division 2 and the best and worst Tom Clancy franchises
Due to a set of circumstances only possible in our industry, the Tom Clancy name has been all over gaming. It's the first name in tactical shooters and one of Ubisoft's most valuable franchises. However, it's not all sunshine and roses. Here is the history of The Clance in video game form. -
The Hunt for Red October
In the late '80s, one of the prominent genres on home PCs were tense strategy games. Since graphics hadn't evolved as of yet, games, where you played in the theater of the mind, dominated the landscape. What better subject than the tense thrillers of Tom Clancy for these types of experiences? -
The Sum of All Fears
In 1996, Tom Clancy co-founded Red Storm Entertainment after seeing these early successes. Ubisoft subsequently purchased the studio in 2000 after establishing a working relationship with them. Ubisoft then purchased the Tom Clancy name outright for use in video games in 2006. By then, games tying into Clancy's movie successes just weren't enough. -
Rainbow Six
Originally based on one of Clancy's novels, the Rainbow Six series encompasses 17 distinct releases across multiple platforms. Each game features tactical first-person shooting and aspires to be a military simulation. This style peaked with a pair of Vegas titles released on Xbox 360. -
Rainbow Six Siege
After spending several years developing a follow-up to Vegas entittled Patriots, Ubisoft went a different way. Rainbow Six Siege is a multiplayer-focused endeavor with Overwatch-style heroes as its operatives. Although it started off on the wrong foot, constant improvements have made it one of the most popular shooters going. -
Ghost Recon
The second set of Clancy tactical shooters, Ghost Recon differentiates itself with its third-person gameplay and its large outdoor environments. There have been fourteen Ghost Recon releases, ranging from the modern day to the near future. Most recently, Ghost Recon took a turn into the open world with Wildlands. -
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
A subsection of Ghost Recon, "GRAW" was one of the standout games around the Xbox 360 launch. Combining the tactics the series is known for with then-futuristic technology made for a great combination. Ubisoft would revisit the idea with a direct sequel and Future Soldier in 2012. -
Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher might have been in the running as an Xbox mascot back in the good old days. A stealth action series to rival Metal Gear, Sam's adventures are classics, particularly the original trilogy. The latest in the series was Blacklist in 2013, although there have been hints that Sam might drop in again any day now. -
EndWar
Taking Tom Clancy back to full on tactics, 2008's EndWar promoted itself on its voice-operated commands. You could control the entire game with a headset, although some reviewers found that to be difficult to achieve. A sequel started development but never saw the light of day. There was a free-to-play follow-up planned but it was canceled. -
H.A.W.X.
An arcade flying game taking place in the timeline of Advanced Warfighter, H.A.W.X. is a weird fit in the Tom Clancy timeline. Two games were released in 2009 and 2010, both receiving mixed to positive reviews. A seeming stopgap in the industry while Ace Combat slumbered, this is one name we probably won't be seeing again. -
The Division
The latest Tom Clancy joint, The Division takes the gameplay structure of Destiny and brings it down to Earth. Literally. This loot shooter doesn't quite have the tactical gameplay of past titles bearing Mr. Clancy's name, but it does have the squad controls and the storyline that attempts to match his most engaging works of fiction. Well, it doesn't have great storytelling techniques but at least it has the look and feel of a Clancy game.
