Long load time

ThaDoofWarrior · September 2015

I've been sitting on a loading screen for about 5-10 minutes now. I was attempting to travel from the Windhelm waypoint and now my game won't load. The load icon is spinning, and I keep getting white text at the top of my screen that says "this may be an unusually long load time."

Getting that a lot lately.

It happens sometimes. Once I was left waiting for 10 minutes straight until I just shut it off and reloaded. Inconvenient, but at least not game-breaking.

it happens to me constant and even when im not loading into a zone, sometimes right in middle of boss fights and also random pvp.
here is what win 10 messages me when it happens

"Display Driver Stopped Responding, and has recovered!
Display Driver NVidia Windows Kernel mode driver, version 355.82 Stopped responding, and has successfully Recovered!"

end quote:

to me, that makes me think the problem is on my end, but, thats impossible, as i have played other mmo's and even extreme hardcore graphics demanding games with my PC and i know for fact i never have problems untill i play eso. its allways eso that seems to cause me crashes and freezes and stutters and all kinds of problems.

are the devs aware of this happening?

I have same problems. I opened task manager and looked what my hard drive was doing. When zoning my hard drive was doing nothing for ESO.exe for a long time. It took several minutes and after that hard drive woke up the actual loading was done in 10-15 sec (game is on SSD and so is virtual memory). I have 16G of memory and good system.

I find this extremely annoying, because this game requires zoning so much. Load times were much better before Imperial patch (not good, but better).
