    When playing ESO in play anywhere the game would take up to 10 minutes to initiate, and when accessing the server the loading screen freezes.
    I have a 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12450H (2.00 GHz), a 16gb ram and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU (6 GB)
    Intel(R) UHD Graphics (128 MB), are my specifications not enough for the game to run?

    I have returned. I have updated and fixed every major mod and all their errors and have them working on my PC. The one issue I cannot seem to figure out is mod settings not saving at all. Its every mod. ReloadUI or relogging just resets them all to default. In the PC version, it got saved to a folder called savedvariables. Im not 100% sure if its the same for console version. I assume its suppose to be the titlestorage folder. I'm not an expert. But the game is not creating that folder or saving any settings data. And Im assuming at this point its on the devs to fix that.

    @ZOS_JessicaFolsom is anybody looking into getting the play anywhere version working correctly with addons and the addon browser working correctly.

    Why was this not tested before release? It would have been so simple to reach out to the devs of the most popular addons to ensure that the play anywhere version of ESO worked correctly with the addons you allow us to install before releasing early.

    I really hope we get the Mouse and Keyboard UI from the PC version. As I really don't like the UI for the console for mouse and keyboard its not good at all.

    I literally fixed all the top mods using claude in less than an hour or two. Including the dependencies. Zero error messages and all working flawlessly. The only thing that out of our control is mod settings not saving. Who knows if anyone has passed that message along or not but the devs will have to fix that.

    You're probably better off doing the same if you want any of these mods updated. They arnt my mods so its not like I can go to the website and update them. It's simple fixes...one line of code here or there if you're feeling froggy. All you got to be good at is giving and receiving instructions.

    Is it at all possible to get a version of ESO that includes, any character, you ever levelled, on any platform, in one place!? That would give people a lot of incentive to make an account with that place... if it was possible.

    Played since beta, and then on console at release, until the game became unplayable on console.

    Well Crossplay is coming but this isn't Cross Save like what Warframe implemented last year if you know that game. I hope they do as I would move to the native PC version. The play anywhere versions limitations don't make sense to me if they are working on crossplay surely the play anywhere version could have been PC native with controller support.

    Are any of the mods going to give some feedback on what is happening with the broken addon system in the play anywhere version?

    To add some context, some add-on devs have updated to the new function call and are working with Play Anywhere version (such as Crutch Alerts and LazyWritCrafter). Settings are still not being saved, though, and I assume we really need Votan to update LHAS, as (I assume) this is the add-on that handles "save variables" for add-ons aka our user settings and menu context. Idk if that's the only other main issue right now, though.

    Would be great to get the ZOS Add-On Devs to chime in on the matter too. Maybe they could code in some sort of cross-compatibility in the ESO UI level to be able to have add-ons work without needing every add-on dev to update their own scripts?

    I published my fix to the site so others dont have to do it manually.
    Search: LibHarvensAddonSettings - Xbox Play Anywhere Fix
    Install
    UNINSTALL the original after you are done adding all your add ons(it will reinstall it if it depends on it, leading back to the error)
    I will not be updating publicly. As soon as the original gets updated...I suggest you switch back.
    Enjoy your settings menu.
    Again.....settings not saving is more than likely on the devs end. I worked and worked and worked on that issue. I'm not an expert. The game is not writing anything to your pc when changing settings. It's just not. I did it the hard way and went in and opened some of the .lua files for the mods and changed the default settings in Visual Studio.
