ESO - Version Note 1.5.6

After some setbacks preventing the deployment of update 1.5.6 during the previous maintenance, the latter was finally able to be deployed, with the added bonus of an audio fix, following the one that took place on November 27. The latter notably brings changes to the health and power of monsters in Veteran 1 rank dungeons and many changes and audio fixes.

Additionally, an issue affecting the size of the patch has also been fixed. The latter went from 12Gb to 6Gb. This fix has also been implemented for those playing on the North American megaserver.
