Game completely loses functionality and then crashes

whatsername908

I'm having several issues, none of which I was having when we were in beta, or at least to a far lesser degree.

I made my character just fine and went through Coldharbour with some lag and loading issues, occasionally getting killed by invisible enemies that can damage me, but I cannot deal them damage. Fine, whatever.

I reached the Ebonheart Pact starting area and then it hit the fan--I'm stuck in a consistent loop of glitching and crashing. I load up fine, run around for a few minutes/seconds and my response time from when I press a button to when the game reacts slows down dramatically. Then, all world-interactions (that's opening bags, looking in barrels, looting bodies, harvesting crafting materials, combat, dialogue) fail. I can't interact with anything in the world--can't even draw my weapons or put them away. Opening menus works fine, but I can't interact with anything in them. A few minutes/seconds later, the game crashes to the login menu with an "unexpected error." For the next few minutes, I cant log in because of Login Error 108 and 200 interchangeably.

I was not having these issues during beta--occasionally I lost world-functions and the game crashed, but it was once every maybe several hours or so, not every few minutes/seconds.

I've double-checked my drivers and I meet the minimum requirements; the game worked fine before. I'm at a complete loss. Any help?

Many of us are having these same issues and have for several hours now. Getting no response from anyone from Zenimax on here about it so far.

@NoirJ Good to know, thank you. This doesn't really solve anything, but it's one step closer at least.

It definitely got 110% worse after the last few patches though.

I had no issues in beta regards crashing or performance other than the 6 second freeze but since launch Ive had 2 crashes, 1 with error and 1 silent but for the last 3 hours, not one. Its understandable that there will be issues at first and we need to be patient.

@whatsername908‌ No worries. If I get any updates will let you know.
