Insanely long loading screens?!

Sirlorg · April 2020

Yes going into out of houses and from wayshrine to wayshrine can often be very long. Not sure patch has fixed any problems. See other characters out in the world they are often black, takes a while for the actual character to appear. In game merchants, etc take a while to appear. Name may be there but not the character.

Crafting: Some of the research times are crazy ridiculous and long. Many of us pour real money into crowns and other things in Elder Schrolls and then to have to suffer through some of this stuff is unreal. It was the buying of silver and poor game management that finally put the end to Destiny for a lot of us. So get this game cleaned up and stop pounding us so hard with crown items.

My current loading screen to character selection is 40 minutes long and counting.... the one before that was 15 minutes before it "timed out due to inactivity"

Very long compared to usual. Even getting loading screens for things that don't usually have them, like merchants buildings etc.

Have you gotten the rare load screen while just riding your horse in an open area?

After each patch it is going worse and worse.
That's unbelievable.

Hey all, just confirming we're looking into the cause of the longer load screens since today's patch. Thanks for the reports.

Thanks Gina, it's always good to hear from you that it is under investigation.

I was getting load screens going in and out of the enchanting shop in Deshaan last week, well before the most recent patch.

The game is a joke right now tbh. I stopped my eso plus auto-renew, but I have a month left on it. Can’t imagine I will be able to bring myself to re-new again after that time, considering the absolutely horrendous game quality...

Sometimes it is just nerve wrecking - this happened a couple of minutes ago:

logging in to character screen - acceptable time to wait
choose a character in slot 11 - take a bit, but ok
requesting character load - about 3 minutes - then an error occurred - back to login screen
logging in to character screen - again acceptable time to wait
requesting character load - now about 1 minute - not good but ok, I could live with that
hew's bane zoning screen - about 3 minutes - finally in
--- grabbing writs ---
trying to teleport to sleek creek house in Reaper's march - animation plays then nothing - 2 minutes later back to login screen
loggging in to character screen - acceptable again
requesting character load - about 1 minute this time
hew'sbane zoning screen - about 2.5 minutes - again in
trying again to teleport to sleek creek house - animation plays this time it works
zoning screen to sleek creek house - about 1.5 minutes - finally at home
---- doing my crafting writs -
leaving home -reaper's march zoning screen - about 3 minutes then back to login screen
---getting really annoying now --
logging in to character screen - acceptable time
requesting character load - about 1 minute
zoning screen to sleek creek house - about 2 minutes
leaving home - Reaper's March zoning screen - this time it works about 1 minute
--- delivering my crafted stuff ---
wayshrine transport to hew's bane --- works this time with less a minute
feeding my horse and cleaning up

This has to be fixed quickly or it's just playing the loading screen and error push back game instead of ESO.

I mean i am used to that it takes me a bit over 2 hours to do my crafting writs with 14 characters, but like this it would take me 7 hours.

Same here, especially on the NA server for me, playing from Europe.

Yes, I'd swear they are longer. At the very least no improvement in speed.

It's been like this for me and it's been getting worse. It's really bad now, presumably because it's free ESO+ weekend, I believe. All I want to do is log in with one character and do writs. Is that too much to ask?

if you start having these, or these intermediate loading screens in cyrodiil, the best thing i found it to quickly restart the game...that often solves it
