Keeps saying, This is an unusually long search time or something similar and Timed out when searching for group dungeons, trials, arenas or anything using it.

    Yes it is doing the same thing for me, cannot search for groups. Specifically for trial group finder. Queuing for random dungeons still works. PC/NA

    It's not just Group Finder. House Tours is broken too. I can't access the recommended list, my favorites, and it shows all my homes as unlisted.

    Consoles didn’t get a patch today and PC did so it is likely due to that.

    EDIT: well it might have been yesterday, the banner is completely missing from the top of the page, what’s up with that?

    It's not just Group Finder. House Tours is broken too. I can't access the recommended list, my favorites, and it shows all my homes as unlisted.

    I can confirm that. All my houses became unlisted, and it looks like that there are no listed houses at all in PCNA (recommended is empty and All listed is also empty). I reported this in game and also on the forums.

    I wonder if the Recommended counter on those unlisted houses will be reset to 0. I did not have many recommendations, but it was nice that someone liked some of my builds.

    The cowardly Wood Elves are best noted for their unwillingness to engage in a face-to-face attack; a Bosmer will strike at you from every side except the front. You won't cross swords with a Bosmer, but you might catch an arrow in the throat. Be wary in forests and jungles, and watch your back.

    Just to show up how severe issue is. This listing is here for at least 10 hours, but it's even worse then the last night as you can see :/:

    Can you guess how many fake listings are here :#?
    15+ hours later, "nCR +0 10dd" still listed :|.
    "nHoF farm run" double listed by the same person, totally not fake.

    Just came back to the game after five years and now this, suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Looks like it's time to cancel my monthly and go back to playing whatever else again...

    The game is good. You should stick around.

    This is just a weird bug that will hopefully get fixed ASAP.

    But yeah, Group Finder is completely cooked at the moment.

    Agree, it was affecting me and I'm PCNA as well. It seems that my home tours was okay upon logging in today, but last night it persisted between characters, so hopefully its nothing major.

    They might do it on PC/NA at a less disruptive time?

    If they do it at the same time as PC/EU players ain't gonna be happy.

      Yes. It has been all day. GF was broken yesterday. I'm disappointed that this has been allowed to go on this long. When my sub expired a week ago, I tried to sign up for the annual plan, but I guess some states require more verification to do that so my sub instead went to 1 month. If it takes 48 hours to resolve the group finder, I wonder if subbing for 1 month at a time is the better option. They really need to do better about prioritizing issues like this.

      Here we go again. It's broken on PC EU again.
      "Application error: the listing owner is busy. Try again soon."

      Veteran listing is too long which don't happen even on prime time on weekend, and of course, there are famous double entries plus entries stuck with the same number of players for at least 1 hour.

      Is your screenshot from PC EU today by any chance? Because I remember the two LC farm groups at the top. Those are duplicates with the same person tagged as the group creator.

      There's always duplicated groups, then groups that aren't even active anymore and turn inactive as soon as you click on them. Groups you cannot join unless you whisper the group leader and ask him for a manual invite because GF *** itself again...

      The group finder is such a great addition to the game. Really is. But man, it's just as buggy as the dungeon queue.

      Yep, it is PC EU. Screenshot was made just ~30 minutes ago. Sitting in craglorn checking for groups, same as in old good days...
