Post if you have any tricks for Unknown Error

ianangelospreub18_ESO

Many people have been having issues with certain zones, big groups, and quite a few other areas of the game causing an unknown error where you are either disconnected, your connection times out when trying to log in, or you flat out pull the error on trying to log in with certain toons and get kicked back to login. I'm sure many of us have tried the ESO support options after sending in a ticket(checking/forwarding ports etc) with no luck. Sometimes they have maybe tried to move your character to a different zone some working some still stuck. I imagine they are swamped with tickets at the moment so I can't be too hard on them even when after being sent to the higher ups their main suggestion was restarting my computer *face palm*. So I thought I would make a thread if anyone has found their own ways of getting back in that maybe ESO support hasn't mentioned or just something that worked for you feel free to post. If you just feel like venting a bit from the frustration as well feel free I've lost about 8 days of game time so far with no response back from ESO about refunds or fixes or anything so I am sure there are plenty of players here who can understand.

Current List of Suggestions:
Try Heading to cyrodil if you can log in (Saet)
Check out of date addons and disable (Yakidafi)

Learn the Errors name and say it backwards. Defeats it everytime.

Saet

Not sure if its just a coincidence or not but this has seemed to help me both times this started affecting me. Go to Cyrodiil. Cyrodiil is on a different server isnt it? If the way I'm thinking it is setup is correct this transfers your toon to another server. This seems to somehow alleviate my problems with unknown errors kicking me every 5-10 min. I tried every fix Zenimax sent to me and a lot of others as well. It happened to all my characters in any zone. After going to PVP though the problem completely went away for a few days. Please let me know if it helped you too.

Yakidafi

Stop using the addon causing it. I use 2 addons, disabled the one that was oitof date and now I do not get the error which I got frequently before.

cant actually log in to move to cyro Saet and have all addons disabled currently Yaki. as that had caused the problem previously.
Scratch that I owe you one Yaki idk how but somehow my addons got turned back on redisabled all and managed to get logged in, thank you.

Disable all addons and then 1 by 1 enable them until you recreate the issue.

Saet

I was still getting the issue with every addon turned off. I dont have much problems logging in though, just sometimes staying in.

I don't even have addons, and still get stuck every 5 to 15 minutes. And it seems to get worse and worse. I don't even get kicked/errored anymore, I have to quit the game myself...

I can't give a tip about what helped, but I can tell you what did NOT help: Some people say that a VPN eased the pain, I tried WTFast and OpenVPN: No effect at all. Still getting stuck.
