The game wont let me log out of a character.

twev · March 2022

Anyone else?

What usually happens:
I go thru the logout menu, confirm, the confirm window counts down to '0 seconds', the screen freezes animations for a few seconds and I go to the char select screen.

What happens now:
I go thru the logout menu, confirm, the confirm window says '0 seconds', the screen animations continue for 2 minutes until I manually close the game.

I'd recommend not logging out if you want to play today. It won't let you log in either.

Update: You can log out, just have to wait for it, but may have to jump through hoops to log back in if you do.

Same issue, my char won't log out on PC Na, but working normally on EU.

Same. Can't log out. Can't quit either. Arg.

Same. First character could logout smoohtly, then second character can't logout. So, I alt+f4 game and open it again, now I'm stuck at character login here. lol

It's going to be a fun day.

Can't log out.
Could quit.
I get every kind of error message when trying to log back in.
"Already logged in" etc.
and put in a queue, followed by "already logged in".
The PTS server is working ok.
but this is a putzerai

Same. I can tell it disconnects from the server but the client stays running. Like when you get a disconnect but get the "lost connection" msg only now no msg and no return to log in or character screen.

I was trying to do my daily writs on all my toons (PC/NA). My first toon was able to log out no problem but the next two I tried are unable to log out, forcing me to quit ESO and restart the game to change toons.

I'm just stuck in requesting character load, can't get past it, I don't know why I still play this game tbh

Getting black loading screens for like 5 mins while zoning, too.

Yes. I could not log out of a character just before they started this next round of maintenance. I would logout but nothing happened. I had to crash the game and restart it because of that.
