What is going on? I'm getting an insane amount of "unusually long" load time screens in this game lately, even when travelling to player housing.

    Yeah this is absolutely nuts, especially after having JUST dropped money on crown crates.. Can't even load into my character this morning. Some communication would be nice.

    Could you let us know if this is happening on the NA or EU server?

    Please try switching megaservers and see if you can reproduce the long loading times.

    I would have to build new characters to test the EU server. That's an unacceptable solution.

    I am on an unmodified PS4 NA server. I've restarted numerous times and cleared saved data.

    Please suggest a feasible fix.

    I've been experiencing the same thing on PS4 NA. Attempting to load into the Psijic Vault from Artaeum Beach and attempting to load into the Forsaken Stronghold from previewing the Psijic Grand Villa resulting in loading screens until my connection timed out yesterday.

    I’ve had the same issue on the PS4 NA server. But I’m having difficultly loading into solo story dungeons. Trying to get through AD alliance story quests in Grahtwood. Last night it was the Aquifer in Havan and today it’s the Cathedral of the Golden Path in Southpoint. Infinite loading screens until timed out.

    PS4 (standard not pro) NA here as well. Mostly happens when travelling to any of my homes but am also getting "unusually long load times" when fast travelling to overworld locations as well.

    PS4 na, it only started since 7th oct PS4 na maintenance.
    Bg also permanently stuck in forming status, never been able to get in any bg.
    It’s completely broken.
    Dungeons when queued in stuck in infinite loading screen for everyone.
    House porting also gets infinite loading screen.
    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom
    This has been going on for 2 days, we can’t enjoy the game if it’s broken like this.
    I hope ZOS would at least be awaren of the issue and know it has been seriously broken.

    PS4 - NA, standard PS4, wired to modem/router, 400 mbit connection with xfinity. Speed tests from the ps4 are consistently 360+ mbit.

    Both yesterday and today I tried each of the following, with the results listed:
    • Logging in multiple characters per day - no issues
    • Traveling between zones - no issues
    • Traveling to a house I own - 2 out of 3 times no issue, once it took about 5 min to zone in
    • Entering a delve - no issues
    • Entering an instanced part of a quest - both times took about 5 min to zone in. Returning to whatever zone was no issue afterwards
    • Traveling to a dungeon - took about 5 min to zone in. I didn't mess with activity finder, just tried traveling directly into a dungeon

    Seems to me the issues revolve around instanced things...

    PS4 NA it started when the Murkmire prelude quest went live. Getting in and out of Shadowfen became a nightmare. 4+ minutes of load screens and then getting kicked for "inactivity". I finally gave up on the quests and went to Cyrodiil where I welcomed the 150 short load screens.

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    My issues have been on NA server for the past two days.

    I've gotten booted from the server and wasn't able to log back in. I've have problems queuing for dungeons and battlegrounds. I queue for battlegrounds and it says forming group and never does. All of this plus the long load times.

    Just hoping for some resolution.

    Try the EU server? I'm in NA, using NA, and you suggest I add 7000 miles to my load time?
    Try suggesting a test that does not involve longer distance or wiping my local preferences file, please.

    I've been getting the same on PS4 NA for the last couple of days. Some times load screens are normal, other times they last several minutes and I have to kill the application. I've gotten this from entering delves, quest instances, and quick travelling to another zone, but it doesn't happen every time in any situation.

    I've also had a few long (~1 minute), but not infinite load screens when entering or leaving the Enchanting/Jewelry house in Mounhold, which normally has no load screen. I do crafting writs in Mournhold on 5 toons a day, so this one is odd, as some times a toon will get it when entering, sometimes when leaving, sometimes both, or sometimes neither.

    It’s not just infinite loading screens and crashes from out of no where and insane lag, the 7th October maintenance also comes with all sorts of ui bugs, it blocked half the screen. I recall these bugs and crashes from last year, I guess ZOS reverted it back to last year status for the uhd and along with all the bugs in the past.
