Has anyone else encountered this?

I have been getting a bug recently where if I travel to someone in my group I crash to desktop.

I go through the "constellation" animation, but right at the end, right when there should be a load screen, immediate crash to desktop.

The only way around it I have found is to leave the group, THEN travel to member of the party, THEN rejoin the group. But this solution becomes problematic with trials.

Other problems I have is the spinning toons (if I use the launcher).

And periodic freezes where the whole screen, just for a moment or two, just freezes up (again problematic in trials).

Thank you

I have been getting something like this. I don't go into a constellation animation but I just crash back to log in. No lag, no warning, I didn't even freeze. It was weirder than normal.

@BlueRaven

Have you gone through any crash troubleshooting for these crashes while traveling?

If not, we recommend going through the steps listed in our help article below.

What can I do if ESO is crashing frequently while playing on a Mac?

Thanks for getting back to me!

Some guild mates and I tried to figure this out last night. It's hard to nail down EXACTLY what is causing the crashes, so I can't give a definite reason why.

Also, it's hard to test because I need a large party to help me test it. So I cannot claim any cause with absolute certainty.

But here of my impressions after about an hour+ of trouble shooting last night;

• Having add-ons loaded does make the issue worse, but does not eliminate it if I have no add-ons present.
• Larger group size appears to make the issue worse, but it can still happen with small group sizes. (It can happen in groups of 4 or less. But it happens in larger groups more frequently.)
• The longer I have had the game running, the problem appears to be worse then if I just start up. (I tested this by making a lap on a fast mount around the outer road in Eslweyr vs just starting up.)
• Playing solo I do have occasional crashes, but not enough that I am bothered by it. This is definitely a "group" issue.
• I am suspecting a particular add-on to be the main culprit (Essential Housing tools). But I also crash in the group even if it is off. It felt less often, but I can't be 100% sure.

Errata;

I did a WB run in the Rift on Saturday, I went to the starting spot independently and grouped up then.
No crashes UNTIL we switched zones to Shadowfen. When I reloaded I was still in the Rift.
I tried a second time, this time it went to a load screen, THEN it crashed again (and still I was in the Rift on the reload).
Third time it worked with no issues.

This was with all my add-ons loaded in windowed mode. I tend to run the game on reasonably high looking graphics though.

(This prompted some volunteers to help me figure this out last night.)

About my Mac;

Mac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)
4.2 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Radeon Pro 575 4 GB

I also have a second monitor

HP Z22i Display
21.5-inch (1920 x 1080)

I always run the game in "windowed" mode. I generally have discord and safari also running at the same time (in the second monitor).
