Its not an ESO problem, the U.S. DNS servers are being ddosed pretty hard right now.

It's a DDOS attack map.

Do you even know what a DNS does? There is no "U.S. DNS server", many ISPs and other companies run their own DNS and even many individuals run a DNS.

Further, I would be very surprised if the actual application uses a domain name. At the application level it is using an IP address.

This is clearly not a DNS issue, it is a ZOS issue. You could argue that the ZOS servers are getting DDOSed but I doubt it. Probably just an issue in their server environment.

My girlfriend and I were both booted from the server 20 minutes ago and repeatedly get error code 200 when trying to log in. It's like the game's not even trying to connect it just kinda freezes and then that message pops up every time. Already restarted our internet, computers and repaired the game. Something is definitely wrong.

I dont think you understand how DNS works. Here:

https://www.iana.org/domains/root/servers

All DNS servers use these root servers to convert names into IP addresses. IANA assigns all that stuff and manages them.

I was messing around on the PTS and got booted after a 3-minute period of 2500+ ping; can't connect to either PTS or live for 20 minutes now. Time to go play some Fallout 4.

I'm getting the Error 200 message, tried several times and still cant log in.

mike.eso

same this is happening to me right now

Lagging bad/getting booted offline, sometimes getting Error 200, sometimes getting on for a 30-60 seconds then getting booted offline again.

It does not seem to be impacting everyone, as the Dolmen I am trying to do on my alt has been finished twice by other people while I was trying to do it and I have not gotten credit.

It is almost like Cyrodiil prime time, but extended to standard alliance zones.

this happened few days ago, exactly the same problem. now its happening again. /sigh

OtarTheMad

Yeah I just crashed and can't get back on (NA server). Got error code 108.

Error 200 means the game cannot contact the game server. Helpful list of error codes and possible solutions here:

Any word on what could be causing this? Lots of people can't play right now but it isn't affecting everyone. Any information would be helpful!!

I believe that map is in real time so you need to see what it looked like when the problem happened.

Just because a DNS can't refresh from a root DNS does not mean the information is no longer valid. The point of people or companies running their own DNS is not to serve as a proxy to the root DNS. They have their own local cache that only hits the root DNS if there is a cache miss.

I was just able to get back in. Hope others can now and it lasts.

I don't know what that website is, but yep, they're kinda busy right now...


Also there's a big CS:GO tournament in America right now, so maybe that's the reason?

They are always busy. And i find it interesting that from all online titles, many MMOs i play and tested after "ddos attack" on ESO only ESO had this problems.

This is what happens when 1. New Dlc out 2. Is an online only game. What we need is a single player only option. And problem fixed, make it more like Skyrim and were good.

Funny, ESo is the only MMO title with that kind of problems that i play. Granted i do play on PC, perhaps you console players are used to it.
