Unknown Error / Game Unplayable

Phantax

Sort this out [snip],
Logged in this morning, all was fine for like 10 mins. Thought ahh well, lets go take a look at Craglorn and everything goes to crap !

After a few minutes the game becomes completely unresponsive, Can't fire an attack, can't dismount, can't use a wayshine (but can still move around)
Then about a minute later the games crashes giving message "Unknown Error"
I think WTH.. and log back in.
All is good again for about 5 mins then exactly the same again ! "Unknown Error"
Now I'm thinking [snip]... and log back in.
Another few minutes later and the same AGAIN ! "Unknown Error"
By now I'm severely p*ssed off and try to log in again.
This time I get as far as character screen, then goes into infinite load screen (Game won't start ! ! !)
Have to Alt-Tab out to close client and restart launcher.
Same [snip] over and over... launch > character select > infinite load (repeat)



EDIT -

The few minutes I did manage to play you could see people in the group I was in going constantly off-line. Every few minutes 2-3 names would grey out, so I'm assuming they were having similar issues !

OK... tried logging in with an alt and everything seems fine, no unresponsive abilities, no game crashes with "Unknown Error" messages.
Tried logging in with my main character again and same thing ! Infinite load and eventual crash !
So whatever it is, its only affecting my characters in Craglorn !



Raised a CS ticket (140525-003918. ) all things considered, won't hold my breath waiting !

OK another update on this one-

Tried again to login (after leaving it for about 30 mins) and managed to get back in, all good. Spent some time just exploring round Craglorn, collecting mats even helped in a couple of anomaly and all still went ok.

Now, decided to do some group stuff, so LFG in chat and soon got into a group farming for xp. Was in the group about 10-15 mins and same crap started to happen again !

Now looking into this deeper, when I successfully logged back in I'd been kicked from the group (so basically I was solo now) and when in a group I'm having issues. For some reason this problem only manifests when grouped.
(I don't miss the irony here considering Craglorn is about grouping...lol)

Well that's a bit more info, hopefully useful to you guys when you eventually sort this out. Still sucks that the new group content is unplayable ! ! !

My game gets stuck every 10-15 minutes. Unknown error has occured. SCREW THIS PATCH. I couldn't play all weekend. [snip]

I am getting the same error! since the patch.
Right now I am stuck in Cyrodill.

Phantax

Still having this problem. Same as before it only starts once in a group !
Have on-going ticket about issue but WTH guys, a group based expansion that you can't play in a group ! ! !

Are you in a group, per chance? I get this reproducible almost every time I'm in a large group since 1.1.2.

Phantax

Yes, as previously stated this only happens while I'm grouped. I can explore, farm mats anything solo and all is fine. But as you say once in a large group (anything 12-20 people) this starts happening. Not just to me either, other group members go off line repeatedly, sometimes they can log back in sometimes they can't.

My most recent CS email wasn't much help either, they simply moved my character to another zone and said hope that fixed the issue (obviously It didn't)

Turn off your glitchy add-ons. It will help.

Doubt it... don't have a single addon in my game... never will either !

LameoveR

Damn! I was sure that I am right!

GossiTheDog

I have no addons, I get same issue. It's a bug.

it's even more frustrating in Cyrodiil at this moment. And the campaign is not even full just 1-2 bars on our side. Unplayable.....

This was a major problem at launch that affected quite a number of people, myself included. At first, ZOS blamed it on our ISPs, which wasn't the case. It was so bad that I ended up playing the game on my old crappy computer because that one is hooked to an ethernet connection and my new one is connected via wireless, but the old one at least ran it without the error (PLEASE no stupid responses about playing the new comp on ethernet, that doesn't fix it).

Long story short, eventually I tried my new comp again and was able to play solidly for weeks (this was after much of the hot fixing and patching they did around lauch). With the craglorn patch however, it seems the issue has introduced itself again, and I find myself avoiding trial runs because there's zero I can do on my end to prevent this and not make 11 people sit there while I reload and run all the way back to where we were. I've opened the recommended ports but that doesn't help either.

Hopefully they undo whatever they broke, and hopefully they don't blame all of our ISPs again.

Well it looks like Im going to have to put up with this issue. CS seem to have run out of ideas. First emails from them were helpfull, now all they can say is sorry for any inconveoience and they will continue to look into it. In other words they dont have a clue whats wrong.
Really had enough of this game now

I'm curious if anyone else that's having this issue is playing via wireless instead of ethernet. When the game gives up on life and crashes for me, it literally disconnects my wireless internet (which is absurd and an OP bug) to the point where i need to manually complete the job of disconnecting and then reconnecting before I can have functional internet again. Dungeons, trials, and pvp are all a /facepalm because of this. I never know when it will happen, and it either racks up another rez in trials or a long run back to wherever I was in pvp.
