Constant Crash to Desktop

5 crashes in 10 minutes... gorram ridiculous.

Sypher

While in cyrodiil you have to fight against 3 opponents.

The 2 opposing alliances and you also have a 3rd opponent who can 1 shot you without even being in the same area as you... He goes by the name "Crash Bandicoot"

zos should give us some free game time. cause crashing 3-6 times in under 10 mins is not what i paid for. not to mention pvp is like a slide show with crap fps.

I easily spent a third to two fifths of my play time waiting to log back in or to get through the queue and back into Cyrodiil. People are quitting gaming sessions for the night out of frustration and soon the game for good. This is unacceptable.

Tintinabula

Exactly. I spent 30 mins defending arrius and right as we got the walls back up I crashed....only to be told I needed to wait a few minutes to log back in three times..15 mins later..def tick gone bye bye and arrius flagged again. I was dropped at the maingate forced to ride back to or death port back to arrius.

I said F___ it. and I logged.

I ended up going back to Star Trek Online and PvPing there for the night.

if anyone knows how small the STO pvp community has gotten, youd realize I was desperate for pew.

Logged in to get the hirelings and refine the items, after 1 week doing nothing else but receiving emails.

Between the stable at Vulkhel Guard to the crafting station, took me 20 minutes....
6 crashes on desktop or completely PC freeze (had to cold reboot).

In the mean time other games (eg Crysis 3, Rome 2, Planetside 2) you play 4 hours straight, and no system issues.

I do not get it. Even when game was release wasn't that bad. Between April to September had only a handful of crashes.

Constant crashes today in Cyrodiil. Make sure to keep tweeting @TESOnline each time this piece of *** crashes.

Zeno online had a game
Es es o
And in that game there were some bugs
Es es o

With a crash crash here
And a crash crash there
Here a crash there a crash
Everywhere a crash crash

Why are you acting as if this would be an unknown issue just occuring now after 1.4? This is just crazy. For what reason do I /bug and describe what happened in the crash reports which get sent to you every hour at least two or three when you dont bother to investigate them?

This is a months old issue that has now become even worse with 1.4. I am paying since prerelease but there NEVER was a time where I didnt have to relog/restart the game multiple times a day due to game issues, this is not how you do QA, this is just bad.

This is one the most objective posts around in this thread. Me too, I've been experiencing crashes left and right with or without the new particle-effects patch. Beside that, the server stands in my imminent neighborhood, so moving the EU-Server has brought no (!) help. My provider is a 20 miles away from the server (Me <-> Provider Node @ Aschaffenburg <-> Frankfurt <-> Eso-Servers in Frankfurt Data Center, Hanauer Landstr.).

I know from another game, that windows-error bug reports go first to Microsoft and then are sold (!) to the developer. I know from some apps/games where the developer discouraged people to fill out the "extra" windows bug report because they were not willed to pay for the error-reports.

I can only assume, given the fact that I didn't read one "official post" confirming the use of the windows-bug reports, that the windows-bug reports are not used by Zenimax simply due to the higher cost (windows wants money for their "bug solving system"). That is all an assumption based on earlier experiences with windows bug reports.

2. Assumption: Two or more of the leading game developers moved other to a new project: "Camelot Unchained". These two might be the "major brains" behind the ESO-PvP Sourcecode. No longer having these two, or more, developers in the bug solving crew - now that the problems arise - leaves a hole in the ESO-cheese.

Therefore they do not want to admit a very basic, essential problem and they try to hold you patient with regular PvE upgrades, etc. If my assumptions are true, they need to do a major investment (some millions to these "heads" of Eso PvP) to get them back in the boat. This means millions and millions of expenditures, which are not beeing approved by shareholders or other kinds of strategists.
This is all speculation (!) but I am right that the leading software specialists went other to compile Camelot Unchained (the pvp system is theirs - compare it to DAOC - see further reports on those guys showing their newest works with Camelot Unchained on several events).

I don't know about PVE, but Cyrodil crashes have been epidemic since the last patch.... These are hard crashes that pop up an "ESO crashed" dialogue box.

Some people have reported crashing 5 times in 10-15 minutes. I have experienced 2-3 crashes in a 10-15 minute period.

Since the crash dialogue box is popping up, might I suggest looking at your own logs would be likely to quickly reveal a huge surge in crashes since the last patch...

What's wrong is something with the most recent patch.

I have a pretty simple diagnostic strategy --

- - Was fine before patch
-- nothing changed on my end
-- broken after patch
= patch broke it.

Even if it is being "caused" by the add-ons, that suggests that the patch change altered something about the API behavior or introduced some change which the add-on devs were not adequately warned about.

Either way - - it's still Zos' problem to diagnose and fix.

Like the new resto staff animation.. Like who doesn't *** notice that garbage!?!? How the HELL did that get past QA? I know it was reported on the PTS. WHY wasn't anything done about it?

I think it's safe to assume that ZOS' idea of QA is a PTS. Why bother paying skilled workers when you can have people paying YOU to test your patches?

It's getting worse. I did not think it could get worse - but it is getting worse.

starting to feel more like im playing my desktop and occasionally crashing to eso

capcody

defending a keep crash. log in try to get a rez at tent, crash.. log in get a rez accept, crash.endless loading screens of death. this game is unplayable

Asgari

The lack of insight from zos is not surprising at all. Another reason I've unsubed until I see a real change. It's pathetic that they acquire so much money each month, yet can't competently QC an update.

If you played your own game on the public servers it will be plainly obvious what is going on.

This response in itself angers me. @ZOS_GinaBruno‌ if any of you bothered to read ANY of the comments here or in any of the other 5 threads about the constant client crashes then you'd know WTF is going on. Error message, are F'ing kidding me?

TBH STO PvP is one of the reasons I am not an advocate for ESO PvP Arenas, it' so bloody boring.

Do need to get my Valdore out again though (if it's not rendered useless by now).

It is ridiculous the sheer number of crashes that I'm seeing since the patch. It's bordering on unplayable -- the type of unplayable that came with the FPS bug.

ZOS, what the heck happened?

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom, we need some acknowledgement about this.

Jessica,
This happens to two of my guild mates, they cant stay logged in for more than 5 minutes....

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ @ZOS_GinaBruno‌

Just an idea for testing. Give the developers $700 to build an entry lvl PC to run the game. Install newest patch BEFORE going live. Have them play their game for a few hours, then decide to go live with a patch.

It might just simply be the need to communicate better what is a known issue with ZOS vs the Players. I've have been playing since early access and still see some of the same bugs.

I appreciate the thread of known issues for this patch with the status and ETA. Not every player might know how to find it. So maybe just make it HUGE and super easy to find.

Thanks for your twitch cast!

Tintinabula

Its getting worse for me.
Group of 2
Ventrillo
Cyrodiil
usually when turning my camera
the White crash window that pops up
also seems to be happening when fire ballistas explode nearby.

im done with this game, im unsubscribing.. this is not what i paid for, to get kicked out of game, dc and crashes every 3-10 mins for the past 6 months. ive been patient enough..ill give zos until my sub runs out.
