Have extra long loading screens come back? I've been having them all night in Cyrodiil. They're so long, its better to alt-F4 and restart.

    The longest I had in Cyro is +/- 5 minutes in total. In the past I had loading screens that took much longer and the only way was alt-f4 to solve it. I'm Lucky that mostly I only got one very long loading screen while pvp'ing in primetime.

    So far it seems to only happen in Cyrodill, so maybe what ever fix they made for the pve load screens isn't being applied to the Cyrodiil servers.

    I've noticed them as well, but only in Cyrodiil, PC, NA. Of course, me being in Europe doesn't help my ping and so my loading times also aren't helped by that, by they're extra long then, around 4 mins each, every single time I travel by Transit Shrine or port into Cyrodiil in the first place.

    Random loading screens appear frequently when traveling fast on horseback with rapids...but also on foot. More noticeable when entering more populated areas. Sometimes the loading screen ends with a login screen. Duration anywhere from 10 seconds to several minutes.

    PS4. I keep running into load screens in the middle of battles (even small ones) more than ever. It's also becoming a common joke to "run away from the wall" before it's done being repaired because the majority of times it leads to another load screen lasting anywhere between 3 seconds to 2 minutes.

    Gina, I have a +5 minute loading screen every time I play in Cyrodil. It's on PC/EU and in Azura. But so far it only occurs one time, after that it's quite stable. I dont have long loading screens in PVE zones.

    This does not matter if I just arrived or have been in mourhold for an hour.

    I had them last night. Died at Glade, spawned at Aleswell. Just that, and that alone, spawned a 5 minute load screen. Died, spawned again, 5 minute load screen.

    PC, EU megaserver. Mostly around 4 to 6 minutes sometimes, after dead in Cyrodiil, or traveling wayshrines in Orsinium.

    PC, EU server...... I've tried to "fast travel" three times tonight, and died twice.... so..... 5 load screens. The shortest was 3 mins, the longest was 6min. Super annoying. Honestly... it's really off-putting, why bother playing this?

    Edit: make that 1 more 4 min load screen to add in.

    Well, I had pretty long random loading screens, 1-2, 2 minute long, loading screens in Orsinium between the gate and bank only. Then I migrated the game to SSD, added 2 gigs of RAM, and now my loading screens are 3-5 sec long.

    I see the extra long load screens on ps4, but not just in Cyrodiil. It appears to happen randomly when traveling between wayshrines. Since they fixed load screens they normally only take about 30 seconds.

    If the load time lasts longer than 1 minute i know that is a red flag and I will just force close the application then relog.

    PC/NA ~ After a death and returning to nearby keep I noticed my Kill Sorcerers quest was filled up so I ported back to turn it in and pick up another, huge mistake. I was out of the fight for about 8-9 minutes with the 3 loading screens combined.

    I'm on XBOX one EU server. It seems that the last 4 or 5 days all load screen times in Cyrodill have been a lot longer often up to and over 5 minutes... and sometimes leading to a disconnect from the game.
  • chrissouza7ub17_ESO
    PC/US user. Load screens are happening everywhere I go. I can even predict when one will occur. Like just before entering the hostel to finish my daily. I have noticed that while grouped in large numbers in Worthgar doing daily quests I tend to see load times randomly giving anywhere from 10 seconds up to 5 min or more. It may be due to the server tracking where everyone is in your group and displaying it on your map causing huge lag, forcing you into a load screen. Leaving group before running back to finish your daily seems to lessen the load time. Zos really needs to get a debugger / sniffer on the network to figure out what's going on. This is a serious issue and is having negative effects on gameplay.

    I've been in a loading screen for 30 minutes. Actually watched a whole TV episode, and it's still at the loading screen. Just trying to teleport to craglorn. Wasn't that supposed to be fixed recently. It just seems everytime they try to fix something, they just screw it up worse.
    Really starting to think Zenimax really has no clue what they are doing. Losing interest in this game so fast. Which is a shame because this game "had" some unmatched potential.

    Instead it's turning into a complete fail like the first launch of FF14.

    PC/NA Extra long loading screens sometimes porting between wayshrines within Wrothgar. Re-logging seems to resolve the issue (at least temporarily). This is frustrating when I've just joined wb daily group and, by the time I've ported to a closer wayshrine, the event is finished.

    Don't bother just sitting there waiting if you notice it taking longer than usual. Just restart the program
