I just logged out after getting FOUR long loading screens in a row just trying to ride my tiger through Orsinium. Load screens are FREQUENT, seem to appear for no reason at all, and ALL load screens, the unexpected random ones AND those you expect to encounter while using a Wayshrine or traveling to another player TAKE FOREVER.

ZOS PLEASE tell us you actually KNOW about this and ACKNOWLEDGE it as a problem that you are actively working on fixing. These constant load screens are killing my desire to play this game at all.

Mine seemed to have improved at least some after yesterday's maintenance.

Mine was improved week ago after Orsinium kicked in. First night was ok. Then back to old ways.

Yeah it was better for about a nanosecond for me too. SIGH I know that there is a ton of stuff wrong with the game they need to fix but when I can't even ride through a city without multiple loading screens it's totally out of control. I mention Orsinium in my initial post but this even happens in Bangkorai which is nowhere NEAR as populated as Orsunium so they can't tell me it's just too many players putting stress on a single place.

Just letting ZOS know that the current loading screen debacle pretty much sucked all the enjoyment out of the final few quests in the Orsinium main story for me. One loading screen after another, particularly that final quest, it was ... painful.

Might be unrelated but I changed all my graphic settings to LOW and the loading screens seemed a little quicker. Could just be coincidence.

Games ugly on Low though.

Welcome to the "We hate the frackin' loading screens and want you to do something about it!" club. Here, read our Facebook page while you wait for that loading screen to end.

Troneon

maybe we should hold an in game protest over the state of the game?

Calandrae

I don't know if it's real, but the loading screens seem even longer now (PC/EU) than they did a few weeks ago.

With limited playtime during the work week I have really started to think whether it's worth entering a delve, building or switching an area. And that kills the joy from playing very effectively. Meh

Forget about any technical issues in this game.

The only stuff you can expect from ZOS is mounts and smaller versions of those mounts as pets, the hope is gone.

Zenimax is constantly working on fixing the loading screen issues and remind us of that every ESO Live segment lol

If they've made any headway they will inform us on the 20th.

I'm really tired of loading screens. Sometimes it happens even in cyro in the middle of pvp...
I love ESO but loading screens is killing the game. And not only when you travel to other zone, they appear everywhere.

Fantastic,


In beteen every loading screen in Cryodil was an immortal KB.

I had to res at a keep, 10 mins.

Ran back to my group, slaughtered by someone doing 4 focused aims in one second

10 mins rez at keep

Ran back to my group, slaughtered by a KB I cant damamge

10 mins rez at keep

Ran back to my group, slaughtered by a KB I cant damamge

Went to do daily keys, so thats 10 mins to deshan, 10 mins to dungeon, 10 mins to deshan, 10 mins to dungeon, 10 mins to deshan.



Around an hour and a half in loading screens



Im still playing, but Im hating myself for it

When I first started playing this game the loading time was fine, 5 to 10 seconds, totally fine. But then I feel as if each loading session was a little bit longer than the last.

After 40 levels of gaming, now the loading time is about 1 minute. Some take as long as 5 minutes. Totally not fine.

So you have no vet rank character and you also see longer loading screens? Interesting.

Yeah, I think it is pretty much confirmed that the loading times are connected to a characters progression (achievements, quests, ..) somehow.

I realise you are the greatest fanboy on these forums. But whatever they are paying you it's money wasted. They have shown they won't fix stuff and *yay* Fallout 4 is here. Why wait for the 20th after three months of ignoring the issue?

Mirelurk

I just did the same questline and totally agree with the OP. It's hard to feel any urgency to get things done when the game says *hold on, let's just put you on hold for 3 minutes* ... 15 frigging times

Flaminir

Not really anything to add except... 'Me too'.

I'd happily have all my achievements wiped if it meant faster loading screens again.

This is the single most game breaking problem the game is facing.... I don't understand why all available resource isn't just being thrown at this to get it fixed. (Perhaps it is... but we wouldn't know as there's not been any update in 2 months!).

I'd bet everybody in the game would wait an extra week for the next DLC / patch if it meant getting this fixed.

You know these personal attacks do get old. I am no fanboy and I am no employee or shill so can we please drop that already? I do not intentionally try to be rude to ya'll so please return the courtesy, thanks!

Zenimax has not been ignoring the issue. The last 3 Lives they mentioned they are still working on Loading Screen issues and no doubt with everyone still talking so heavily about them they will do it again on the next Live. If you truly feel the way I have bolded though then do feel free to go play Fallout 4, no one is stopping you.

Mirelurk

That was nice line I saw from @kors in a previous loading screen thread.

The lack of action on loading screens is like domestic violence .... Zenimax abuses those it says it loves the most and assumes we will love it back in the morning.

So, can I have your stuff then?

Well they can't lie to us and say "it's all good" when it hasn't been fixed yet, but it doesn't mean they aren't working on it.

Just because you don't see eye to eye with me does not make me a fanboy so please stop stereotyping.

They seem to be taking a lot of smoke breaks.
