Rage thread: Loading screens in PvP

Cody

i have reported this a few times already, and its clear its fallen on deaf ears, so now i will post it in the forums.

i am getting SICK of these infinite loading screens ZOS... when i transit.... long as heck-infinite loading screen.... when i die and respawn.... infinite loading screen..... when i attempt to enter cyrodill... infinite loading screen.

heck i just died in hedarus a few minutes ago, and when i tried to respawn, it put me in a loading screen, and kept me in it for WAY too long. in fact, im certain it was STUCK in it, as i had to re-log my PC just to get out of it.

When y'all get the lag figured out, your next assignment will be fixing the bugs, and the dang loading screen issue. If i wanted to stare at loading screens all day, I would play Fanle 3(:D, nah fable 3 was good. somewhat lacking, but good)

im about to re-enter hedarus; lets see how long i last before another infinite loading screen

If you reset your router while in the load screen, it makes the load screen magically go away.

I usually have to alt f4 out of them and reload the game

Cody

i encountered ONE long loading screen since my latest re-enter, but it loaded eventually.

so aside from the usual block and cast builds every single AD player in this server used(:D) no real problems

Sometimes you don't even need to use a wayshrine or die to get a loadscreen. Repair a keep? Loadscreen. Running through Cyrodiil? Loadscreen.

iv had the "running somewhere and huge loading screen" experience before... it was pretty dang frustrating.

I hoestly dont believe ZOS needed to put in all these loading screens in the first place. Thats a problem i have always had with any game made by Bethesda and Zenimax(at least the ones iv played)

just think about it... there are games made nowadays where you can enter buuildings/entire new zones without even ONE loading screen. examples:

Grand theft auto; far as i know, only loading screens are for starting missions.

Red dead redemption; no loading screens except for starting missions and multiplayer matches

WoW; no loading screens save for entering dungeons and to an entire new continent,

heck even old games from early 2000s had little-no loading screens... i dont recall ever seeing a loading screen in Final fantasy X....

what i know, is that we only get these loadingscreen cause we dont have the best computers anymore... so i am not sure, if zenimax can fix this problem.

Comparing to random other games is a fruitless exercise that completely ignores the pros and cons that for example engines like the ones used for the GTA/RDR and TES games.

Havent had that in about 6 months man.

When facing infinite loading screen simply tab out and in again, which will make tve fame reload itself. If it doesnt worn the first time it usually works tve second.

These loading screens I get everywhere. They pop up in towns, dungeons, everywhere. And it makes me use alt f4 and reload the game. Nothing is more frustrating that that.

Personally, I don't have issues with loading screens, but I used to have them shortly after launch. A guild mate, though, always comes in last when we enter Cyrodiil or a dungeon as a group. What I and him think to be positively correlated with the duration of loading screens is the number of add-ons that are used. Basically, it seems to us that the more add-ons you have installed, and the more heavy weight are among them, the longer it takes to load the UI.

I suppose this sounds like a lame suggestion, but have you tried to cut down on the add-ons a bit? And if so, did this show any effect?

I don't know which bothers me more, the infinite loading screens after a crash, or the random loading screens that come out of nowhere and are becoming more common. I used to only see them in cyro,riding your horse along LOADING SCREEN, dropping a ballista LOADING SCREEN, etc.

This week I've seen half dozen of them in Crag and eastmarch and once in aa.

Eta - in aa 4 members of our party got the random loading screen at the same time, the others did not. Somebody suggested we file a ticket or bug report,there was outright laughter in response.

Roechacca

I too rage at long loading screens . Sometimes I yell at my kid about it . Look at it ! LOOK AT IT !!

Thechemicals

I fall asleep on the loading screens all the time. I used to count the floating rocks and how many soldiers in the battlefield but now its just meh.

Reverb

How about when the second screen is the one that gets you? You finally get logged back in, past the loading screen and into your home gate. You think life is good and you can get back to playing. You make happy noises in TS. You go to the transitus and pick a destination,spend 3 min in a loading screen then get kicked back to the login screen with a message saying "an error has occurred".

That's even more rage inducing because it gets my hopes up first. Psychological warfare.

i only use one add-on: the skyshard add-on. so unless the skyshard add-on has a gigantic effect, i doubt its my add-ons

These are the worst. Have got kills, lost kills and died due to the repair loadscreen after capping a keep. Who has the better rig main relevant point in those situations.

Teargrants

I remember the good old days of keep repair, when you didn't get load screens every single time the inner popped back up. Back then, people knew how to build walls all proper like, none of that load screen bullhunky.

and.... just around the corner is the champion system, which will introduce many many more bugs (probably, unfortunately)

Im hoping the CS has a ton of fixes, as ZOS is literaly going thru each and every class, ability, and mechanic; fixing and changing things.

If the CS does not fix anything, ZOS may end up losing most of their playerbase. Peoples patience(esspecially those of us who have been around since beta) are being stretched to the breaking point.

yep itsa really annoying, die hit respawn button, get load scren for 10 min , oonoes Arrius is getting sieged quick port there before its flagged. select port to Arrius , loading screen 15 min wait , Alt/f to fix , /yawn
