Dropped from server

Yesterday my characters were dropped from the NA server back to the login screen multiple times, usually with the can't connect error message, and it happened again this morning. All my other apps had no problems connecting to the internet. My characters usually were in zones that were not crowded with players. Is this a known issue that is happening to other players?

Well, you might wanna try checking in this related section: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/categories/pc-technical-support .... Otherwise, yes it's a "known issue" that's been happening with every player in every MMO since the wonderful interwebs first beganYesterday my characters were dropped from the NA server back to the login screen multiple times, usually with the can't connect error message, and it happened again this morning.

But anyways, for ESO, if it really isn't just your particular personal ISP , it usually happens when players are:
-- Crafting motionless (no *spacebar jumping* to let server know you aren't AFK ) ...or....
-- playing within high densely populated areas ( like Cyrodiil PVP or new content crowded hubs )
-- or because of the mistaken "you have reached message limit" situation. (assuming not actually running macros)
-- or maybe even due to certain Add-ons/Game-mods . ( if you're using any? )
-- or possibly if you're trying to run multiple clients at once? (or alt-tabbing a lot out of the game )
Do you recall what the exact error message was? And do you remember what exact game activity each of your characters were doing? Was it an Error 334 "lost lobby connection" ? And was it while swapping between characters?
Details & specifics are very important.1 -

None of the usual circumstances you mentioned applied. The character, which had been online >1 hour, went to a blacksmithing survey location and found no ores to collect. Within a few seconds it was back to the login screen with this message:
Unable to connect to game server. Please make sure you have a valid internet connection. [which I do]0 -
c363b✭✭✭It just did it again, saying "Connection to the server timed out."

NeeScrolls✭✭✭✭It just did it again, saying "Connection to the server timed out."And again with "Unable to connect.".Again: "An error has occurred"
i suggest you do the following: First, check with your ISP and/or personal internet setup ( WiFi , router, firewalls, location, crash-logs, etc. etc., etc. ) .... And secondly, try searching/contacting 'ESO Support' : https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app ... and maybe see if they can go troubleshooting & debugging with ya in a more official capacity.Same error again,

Gnesnig✭✭✭What still happens often enough, is that an ISP screws up a route. Then the rest of the internet is seemingly working OK, but some locations have interrupted or no connectivity at all.0

✭✭✭✭✭I had this happen last night, first time I've had it happen... I was in the middle of moving stuff from crafting bag to inventory and BOOM... "booted from server". I tried again, got to the login process and it said, "Character is already logged in". Tried again and kept getting "booted from server". It lasted about 10 minutes and then I was finally able to get logged back in and didn't have any more problems.CP: 1965 ** ESO+ Gold Road ** ~~ Stamina Arcanist ~~ Magicka Warden ~~ Magicka Templar ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****0 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's happening again. So far twice in about 30/m getting booted with 'server error'.
This has happened two nights in a row now, both occurring between 7pm-9pm. My internet works perfectly fine for everything else, but suddenly started getting these events two nights in a row. Clearly it's not something on my end.
It's funny how people always suggest, 'try troubleshooting'. Um, this just suddenly started happening and ONLY occurs with ESO and seems to occur during the same time period... yeah, I'm not going to waste time with troubleshooting when it's clearly nothing to do with my network. ISP perhaps, but odd that it doesn't occur with anything other than ESO.
UPDATE: Ok, oddly enough... I just opened the 'patcher' and it updated. Normally if I try to launch ESO directly from file it will tell me if the patcher needs to be updated. Not sure if this could cause a problem, but very strange that it didn't notify me that it needed to be updated.Edited by ADarklore on 16 June 2022 01:43CP: 1965 ** ESO+ Gold Road ** ~~ Stamina Arcanist ~~ Magicka Warden ~~ Magicka Templar ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****1 -

Are you still getting this error message?
If so, please see our help article found linked below.
What do I do if I get an error message stating "An error has occurred. Please wait a few minutes and log in again" when trying to log in to one of my ESO characters?The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited - ZeniMax Online Studios
