Game Freezing

    I've been standing completely still in Mournhold and had it freeze before. But usually it is when I'm on my mount jumping or running around or just jumping around in general. It hasn't been as bad recently but occasionally it still happens.

    I usually roleplay with a friend and many time, we're just sitting/standing, sometime lying there, do absolutely nothing but typing our narrate, and the game just freeze randomly.

    Yes, since the last patch I am still getting crashes, once every like 45 mins to an Hr. the game will freeze or I get kicked right to the sign on screen..

    I turned off all my addons and it still does it, I ran a 3rd party software to check my internet connection to see if that was it and one time could have been my connection but the other my connection did not break at all

    4 days from Console release and still getting crashes and drops...just plain scary..

    I dont want to be an ass,but i hope console get the same issue and then maybe ZOs will put more resources to fix this issue which is becoming more popular now among players.

    Now that I have had it happen with Internet Explorer, I reluctantly have to agree with ZOS that the problem might not be with ESO. I suspect that there might be a glitch in Windows O/S or in the Nvidia Drivers. It's more difficult to track and prove anything in that case. Of course the Graphics lock/crash of IE might be unrelated, too.
    I am wondering if it is Windows Defender that might be causing this. I have noticed it will completely lock up my Firefox when I am downloading something from time to time as it scans my NAS for some odd reason. I have not figured out a way to tell it leave that alone either. But I turned off Real Time Scans and it has helped me with the freezes in this game. I have only had one since I disabled the scans.
    Now, this has only been a couple of days, and I am still getting the freezes in Firefox, but the game is more stable, so it may just be coincidental.
    I guess it's worth checking. For all I know it might be a Interwebz packet issue since I had a video stream paused in IE at the time.

    Not to be a *** here but, but I have not encountered so many issues with any other MMO I play. I'd reluctantly have to say that it IS with ESO's coding. ( some bad, messed up coding involving memory use; the Launcher has some issues with it. Run from exe. file)
    I agree that the issues are many in ESO. The few other MMO's that I've played have been relatively fault free even compared to SP games. I just suspect the basic fault is in WinOS activated by a random error in ESO or a Video Driver.
    In my own (admittedly limited) testing, this appears to be a problem with the way ZOS has coded the saving of addon settings from memory to the savedvariables files, or more specifically the holding of these files in memory after changes have been made to addon settings.
    I have never made changes to the Add-on Settings when it occurs to a session. That doesn't, of course, mean that a change has not occurred to add-on data like MM's.

    This happens to me multiple times a day, most notably is every time i am on the small ramp up to craglorn bank. Game locks up, mouse cursor starts swirling a windows loading icon, and i have to force crash the game
    Another location i remember is entering the fighters guild in sentinel, had it a couple of times there

    This is happening more and more lately. Both my wife and I had frozen screens last night trying to play the game in different zones. They really need to redesign the memory usage for the game, every since 1.6 it's been double what it had been. They are causing their own bottlenecks with their game code.

    Most of my issues have occurred during the Cyrodiil loading screen. If the load time takes more than 10 minutes, I have to close app & restart.

    Weapon swap seems to glitch out from time to time also, leaving me unable to open doors or cast. Really annoying.

    I see this is an old thread but it's still a thing. I have it several times a day. My rig has 16 gb ram, nvidia 970, and a 20mb connection. This is the only game that is doing this so is anything being done to fix it?

    Loading screen is the same for all platforms, usually doesn't happen to me unless a new dlc comes out. That's when most old players comes back and after a few days it will return. Loading screens been like this since day 1 so just gonna have to get used to it.

    ESO Froze up on me yesterday when I was fighting 2 EP don't know what caused the freezing up... I waited for 5 minutes nothing happened staring at the screen. Had to close the application to get back on, I got back on my Mag sorc spawned in dead I couldn't respawn at a keep, city or base... I had to wait until it auto respawned me so I had sometime to roll up while getting bagged by EP who saw my dead body LMAO
