EU - Eternal load screens seem to be back

Tavore1138

This issue was cured some time ago and yet here we are again. Log in, select a character and wait endlessly while the screen fails to load.

This had been fixed! You sure the right code is on the servers or did some hotfixes get missed?

for me the loadinscreens are 30% faster now

To be honest @SuraklinPrime I don't think this has ever been fixed, just like the endless 'Request loging', 'Requesting character load' and others.

Seems to me it's simply an endemic problem in the 'mega-server' architecture that ZOS either can't or CBA fix.

Maybe it's packet loss, maybe simply system overload, maybe the hamsters go on strike for more seeds, who knows. I have two PCs often running two accounts, I can often load fine on one while the other sits with the spinning icon .. both trying to load into the same location, and no, it's nothing to do with layering, it's clear player numbers of so low layering rarely kicks in.

On launch when I tried to load two characters to the same place they'd rarely if ever be in the same layer .. it's nigh on two months since that happened, they now always load into the same layer: given ZOS haven't said and there's no reason to think they have made structural changes to layering (if they had I'm sure they'd have said something) the only other explanation I can come up with is player numbers are so low the system doesn't need more than one layer at a time.

Until I got an error, rinse repeat.

Hi there, @SuraklinPrime. Is this happening on all of your characters, or one specific character?

@ZOS_TristanK‌ - it has been primarily on my newish alt rather than my main. That one is in the AD alliance and has been getting it for Auridon. Been seeing a fair few rollbacks in that region too and judging by zone chat they are not limited to me.
