Unable to Log Out / Quit / Draw Weapons / Use Chat

I'm experiencing some kind of issue here. For a few minutes now, I've been unable to do practically anything - I can run around and stuff, but I can't do anything more than that. I'm unable to draw my weapons or use the chat, and when trying to relog or just plain restart the game, the counter reaches 0 and then does nothing. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

    Are you sure you are not having the "living dead" bug. If I remember when I had that bug I had to <alt> <F4> to get out.

    Wrote that he can't use the chat, I'm guessing that includes typing any sort of commands like /reloadui.

    I don't know if it's that bug specifically, but Alt-F4 is usually the way to go if the game isn't even letting you quit normally.

    If nothing else works Control-Alt-Delete, and use Task Manager to shut down ESO. You may have to go back in to make sure it's shutdown afterwards, but it should give you back control.

    I've experienced the "living dead" bug too. (thinking of a Rob Zombie song now.)
    It is a pain cause the game just won't log you out. I think it is best to try and log out but drop to windows menu if it doesn't and close the game.

    I ended up having to just close via task manager. I walked around and noticed that I didn't see any other players, npcs, or enemies, and I couldn't mount my horse or sprint either.

    I had a problem recently; maybe related: got stuck in a dungeon. Literally I could move the direction my character faced but I couldn't do anything else including move. Also, /reloadui and stuck didn't help, both failed. I had to use the Task Manager in Windows to bring the software down and then completely reload and login again; fortunately I was with a great group of people and when I logged my character in again I was in the same group and spot with them.

    If it is the living dead bug, you will see a message flash (quickly) in the upper right corner that reads: "You cant do that while dead"... And if you are playing a NB, that is followed by a 1ms flash message that reads "You couldn't do that while alive either lolz"

    Just a suggestion, use Process Explorer instead, the built-in Zindows task manager is not that reliable in resolving hanging apps and at worst will lock up the OS with ill consequences.

    were it lag, npcs and enemies would only be frozen in place. I wasn't seeing any at all, even in towns and cities, and lag that bad would've kicked me from the server.

    @emeraldbay Did you file a Ticket via Support including a dxdiag and router settings? When have you last made a repair of the build? I know its a standard question, but that the server is not able to populate the "world" for a specific client along with the rest of the issues, it points at a complete mess in the core data. atm excluding bad netcode, due to the rest of the issues described, but that part may surely influence too.

    The "Honor The Dead" skill from the Templar class will bring you back to life! But you are a Templar and a Nightblade, you'll be both be dead again soon enough.

    This happens to me all the time. Like 2-3 times per hour. Not sure what the issue is but I hope they fix it soon.Also I'm not sure how to report it but you've described it perfectly.

    funny, not long after posting this topic, I experienced the "living dead bug" everyone was talking about. quite annoying, since /stuck no longer kills you, so the only way to fix it is to relog.
