LOAD SCREEN Fix - FAIL

StihlReign

The load screen issue has not been fixed.

Loading screens now randomly select a player or time, and trap that player for 2 minutes plus.

This is a problem in PvE and an Epic Problem in PvP where time costs immersion and objectives.

It is simply ridiculous when it's faster to hit Alt+F4, load back into the game and continue playing, than wait in Zos' load screen.

Stop playing ESO on toaster maybe? Joke aside, I never had any experience stuck in long load screen time ever since the patch. Even prior to the patch, the only time I experience one when I port to Cyrodiil.

I guess the fix did not work for everyone across the board. Not to add insult to injury but all of my load screens are now 30 seconds or less since the fix. For me it worked in pvp zones, dungeons, and cross continent waypoint travel.

I cannot wait until the fix hits console. We still have the redonkulas load times.

Long loading screens are a thing of a past for me, 20s tops in PvE, 30s top in PvP.

The thing that got me is I made a habbit of alt+tabbing out of game when loading (when they took more then 1 minute prior to this patch). I do it to this day - muscle memory I think I need to get the alt+tab combo electrified when playing ESO to get me to stop.
This is what gets me stuck at loading nowadays.
Also depends on the window type (Fullscreen or Windowed, true fullscreen works best for me).

And as they said - this is probably a half-fix of one of the greatest issues. More still to come.

It has been fixed for 99% of the player based who has received the patch. For those 1% of those who hasn't received a load screen improvement, you might want to look at your own systems first. Did the patch download correctly? Did you do a repair and make sure none of the files were corrupted? Do you have a crappy computer or Internet connection? Granted, it still could be a problem with the game itself, but when the large majority of players ARE seeing significant improvements in the loading screens, you need to look elsewhere as well.

You are spreading misinformation. The fix has helped me and plenty people, but you can't go around posting made up statistics.

Here's one for ya:

As a heads up - next weeks update (11/16) on PC will have a fix for one of the major causes of the long load screens. This won't fix every load screen issue, but resolves the most frequent cause. We'll continue to work on the issue until we get the load times back to acceptable levels.

Console players, this fix will unfortunately not make Orsinium launch next week. It will go in the first incremental patch which we're targeting for the 2nd week of December.

-rich

Get it ? It's the most common cause, yet not every cause has been fixed.

Ashtaris

I realize that it won't fix every load screen issue like Rich stated, but for the vast majority, I think we can safely say they made significant improvements. The OP made it sound like the fix was a fail, and you and me both know that's not true. Often times people rage blame ZOS for problems on their own side of the fence. Yep, it's great that ZOS will continue making improvements, and I hope that long loading screens will be a thing of the past for everyone.

StihlReign

Hmm...my PC is probably faster than 99% of the player base.

Not my system, def not my internet (though it will be a little faster soon with Google Fiber).

Where are you getting your numbers from?

My load screens are way faster now. Sorry to hear it didn't help everyone.

Yes, loading screen fix is a FAIL on their part. I am experiencing almost every time when I switch zones in cyrodiil, I am enable to gain AP neither stay with my group due to random crashes. So ultimately, I am a regular KICKED OUT player in cyrodiil.

Thanks Zenimax.

You guys need to realize there were multiple load screen problems. Remember, before the patch, loading in and out of Trials or other group events sometimes took forever for random people? Yes, that problem is still around. And yes, this is completely different than the load screen fix that just went in. There is obviously an issue with grouping and making sure all players are in the same instance. This problem has been around forever.

Ive never had an issue with loading screens before in the 2 years or so ive been playing ESO. Ever since that last patch i now have a 4 minute loading screen in cyrodiil. Im accustomed to the the first loading in cyro to be unusually long but its never been so bad.

I know the loading screens are encroaching on a 4 minute load as i was able to listen to an entire song from the moment i hit the load to the time it ended.

Its really ***!ing annoying dying loading for 5 minutes at a keep of choice only to have to wait 5 minutes to now transitus back to an outpost to return to the fight.

I have 14Gb RAM a GTX 660 SC 2Gb dedicated and an i7 3770k which runs around 4.0 GHz while playing ESO. Its not a toaster.

And like ive said earlier i only had this loading screen irritation since the last patch.

Im sure they made sure the PVP population suffer so that roleplayers have a seamless experience. At least their track record would suggest this is the case.

Breaking something for others to fix something for someone else isnt a fix. its a fail.

If a mechanic cannibalized your car to fix the cars of 9 of his other customers and said tough sh!t you'd be pissed. This is essentially no different.

I've been sitting in a loading screen while in PVP for 3 minutes now.. which is why I'm on the forums instead. It's definitely not fixed.

Ourorboros

Long loading screens are creeping back in for me, but the situation is much improved from what was happening prior to the patch. Now, I seem to get hit with long waits if I'm in a large group. The kind of group very common in Wrothgar right now with WB daily shares. It sucks to get to the party after the main event is over because you were trapped in a loading screen.

But overall, loading screens are much improved, at least for me.

Alucardo

and AGAIN WTF

They are for me in PVE, but in Cyrodiil they are just as bad, if not worse.

That's exactly why I came here and made this post.

And when I left and went back to Cyrodiil....I still hadn't made the jump from ASH to ALESSIA!

Something is wrong with load screens in Cyrodiil. It's the only place I experience bad, minute(s) long load screens when rezzing/transiting. Sometimes load screens will even occur randomly in the middle of a big fight, and when you "come back" you're dead or the other faction has won the keep, lol.

What in the world is causing this, Zeni?

Please fix load screens in Cyrodiil.

Could be a computer issue? Since last update I haven't had to wait longer than 30 seconds for a load screen and I'm playing on a MacBook....

Definitely NOT a computer issue.
