i crash constantly in Orsinium and sometimes takes even less then 5 minutes, sometimes i crash immediately after logg into Orsinium.'
i have never had any problems like this before, so i know for a fact has nothing to do with my computer.

    Same here. I've reported this and other crash issues multiple times on tickets. Got ZERO help from support... just a 'we're to busy to help you, you're on your own' canned response. If everyone's getting that response, who are they helping that 's keeping them so busy???

    EXTREMELY frustrated.

    Mine actually crashes in seconds... but only the character in Orsinium. I had to repair the game last time to get him out. Like an idiot I thought it was fixed and went back to Orsinium today. Same thing; except now repairing the game doesn't fix anything. I've disabled all addons, am running as admin, running in compatibility mode, video driver updated... blah, blah, blah. .. no help. And no response from Support.

    The same for me.

    This is only happening in Wrothgar, especially in Orsinium itself.

    I just tried to play Orsinium again, first crash after 1 minute, second crash after 4 minutes, third crash after 2 minutes.
    Now I gave it up. :/

    If it will be like this with every new zone it won't make any sense to buy a dlc within the first month after release, which is a pitty.

    Mates, just a thought, but its absolute shot in the dark.

    Try lowering your graphics to absolute minimum and never mind how good your comp is. I remember something similar after the infamous lightning patch - it got contained (not fixed mind you) but in the meantime perhaps that will help. If it does turn on more options bit by bit.

    I used that method with the IC DLC and it worked but my only issue right now is the Long Loading Screens which is caused by this Patch. Going to have to wait it out until the servers are more stable for a bearable loading screen.

    Hey guys! We have a few crash fixes going into Monday's incremental PC patch, one of which is specific to Orsinium. This should clear up the crashes you're describing.

    I had over month break and returned after IC - i noticed that loading takes much more time, got fed up with it. Thought ill give it another try after orsinium. Nope.

    I honestly just jump to the forums right now to see whats going on, in vague hope of some good news. Well there are other fishes in the sea i guess.

    So I take it I am the only one who has not been able to log in today?

    Not that anyone here is having much better luck...

    Been getting error code 301:3:1:653:0 (unable to connect to server) consistently even though I was playing with no problems last night. And yes, I went thru all of their "troubleshooting" steps to no avail.

    I know this is seemingly unrelated but a large number of technical issues occurring in a single day could be indicative of something going wrong on their end.

    That's so awesome! Everyone who paid money gets to crash for only five more days! Gee golly I'm glad someone cares about the customers!

    I wish everyone was so understanding at my work. If I told the companies I do business with that I would take care of them in a week after selling them a sub-standard product I would be fired. Guess usbgamers really are suckers for incompetence.

    I hope so. I've enjoyed the game to this point.

    I never had this issue until the patch came out. Now it's every 90 seconds to 2 minutes in Orsinium. I did a complete reinstall. Fixed it for 2 days. Then the system patched itself, and here we go again!

    Well... the "patch" didn't fix the crashing. I cannot log into my character in Orsinium..... AGAIN.

    Go to 'my documents' / elderscrollsonline / liveeu / user settings.
    Find a line that reads SET GraphicsDriver.7 - and try changing the setting to 'D3D11', save, exit, launch game

    I cannot play in Wrothgar either, game crashes 5-6 minutes in EVERY TIME I try to play in that zone. Zenimax Tech Suppport told me I should try lowering my graphics settings like water effects etc :/

    I've had crashes but they aren't just in Wrothgar. EX: I tried to log in to my character in Grahtwood and the game crashed twice--both ties badly enough that I had to restart my computer. But it's been sporadic; today and yesterday I'm crashing, but Tuesday I was able to run a Pledge. :/

    This worked for me! Thank you. Seems like a simple fix, not sure why Zenimax couldn't implement this fix in a small patch. One number in a text file, no more crashes.

    I tried this, as I was crashing every 5 mins in Wrothgar (I don't crash anywhere else), unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Thank you though for posting a possible solution.

    Not sure if I should be posting this here, but I am having problems with the game ever since I decided to play the DLC. Last night I managed to play Orsinium with zero problems. However, when I got on this morning my game crashed to the point that I had to do a hard reset for my Xbox. After that, it has repeatedly crashed to my dashboard before I can even get to the character selection menu.
