ESO character loading screen taking forever.... FIXED!
I was dealing with this issue for a while where my characters would not load, instead i would click on the character and it would load forever and not actually enter the game (very frustrating).
I contacted customer support and they gave me a couple solutions.
Once I did both of these things my game started working like normal, I cannot say which one actually solved the issue or if it was a combination of the 2, good luck.1)Assuming you are playing on the North American server, please delete all the files you find in the Live folder
* You can find the Live folder here: My Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\Live
*Navigate to the folder, then delete the files in it. Once this is done, please try to launch the game again (with administrator privileges - right click on the icon to have this option), it should the launch and regenerate the missing files.
2)The other suggestion was obvious but make sure your drivers are updated, my nvidia card was updated but not my intel graphics card.
