nima007 · January 2015

i had this problem since last night exactly after i activated a time card for game to play it. i played the game for three months in summer never had this problem i need to use task manager to close the game because its not responding i repaired it two times it didn't fixed anything and i submitted a two tickets to CS no answer yet (i don't have any addons or network problems firewall is allowing access.)i am pretty sure its something from EU servers or a game bug that caused after one of updates please find a solution for this i am losing my game time that i payed for it.

@nima007: you probably posted in the wrong section of the forum, since this one is reserved for the PTS (Public Test Server)

Do you get any error code? How far does the game load? Do you reach character selection or does it stop before?

no i don't receive any error code the game just freezes and yes i can reach character menu but after that when i want to load any of them it get stuck in loading screen and i need to go for task manager .

Hey there @nima007,

Pretty much the same questions @Gyudan asked :P.

Do you receive an error message?
Does the game freeze completely, or are you able to back out and try another character?
At what point does the game freeze? The steps in the process are Hit play from the launcher, hit login after entering credentials, loading screen 1, character selection, "Requesting Character Load", loading screen 2, in game.
Have you submitted a game consultant Report.txt to customer support? If so, what is the ticket number?

Thanks for your patience!

EDIT: Also, moved this to the regular Customer Support forum. If this is indeed a PTS question, let us know and we can move it right back!

Hey there @nima007,

We don't see anything on the report.txt that would indicate any sort of issue. You mentioned in the ticket that you've already tried a repair, but just for good measure, give it one more shot.

If the second repair doesn't work, we've sent you a PM with some additional steps. Give those a shot and let us know if they help!

The loading screen after an update is usually quite long. Maybe the amount of heavy updates we've had since this summer is making things worse.
It's a one-time thing after each update. All the following loading screens pre-character page are almost instant.

Is the ouroboros (circle) in the bottom right corner still spinning while you get this loading screen? It may stop at times, but as long as it's spinning, the game is probably still loading.

no it stops from spinning

I'm having similar issue. When I get past the initial login screen (just autologs me in since I'm using steam) I get stuck in the loading screen before character selection. Ouroboros icon rotates for a while then just stops (i.e. game freezes) and I have to force game shut down. I managed to get on pts once few days ago (I had same issue back then too but after many restarts later it worked).

I decided to check resource monitor and apparently ESO gets hang on the wait chain by network I/O process.

Ok, forget about my last comment. Live server seems to have same feature.
