What a train wreck: Xbox one almost unplayable.

For starters if you have a character in a major hub city you might as well forget about logging into it. If your lucky enough to not get instantly kicked to dashboard, take about 10 steps. You might, and it's a big might, be able to collect your vet pledge in the early morning NA hours.

So when you get the undaunted vet pledge, be prepared for random long load screens inside the dungeons. It must be something new ZOS is trying. When your about ready to give up, you will come out of it and advance into a mob of invisible monsters. No worries, if you throw caltrops down you can attack the damage numbers that pop up.

If your a guild leader, new challenges await. Deposit history list is blank. Makes it so much easier to keep track of who is paying rent for the guild trader. Best of all, if you need to go through your entire roster to promote/demote you'll be bumped to the top of your screen. It's been like that since orsinium, but much worse now even if you narrow your field

The most unbearable out of all of these is the constant crashes to dashboard. When you spend an hour a day just on re-logs, it makes you wonder if it's worth it.

The final rant goes back to random loading screens in the Gold Coast. Is this normal traveling around the world to have several?

I know I need to learn to play, and thank you for welcoming me to mmos, and yes someday I'll join the master race of pc, perhaps I probably also need to learn to read and learn to search threads lol.

I Havnt had many issues in Pve areas but then again I mainly pvp. But I tell ya the map wide lag and the dashboarding is becoming a joke. Try logging in again and you lag out on load screens. When you do get in 15mins later you are dead and can't revive until someone finds you or you auto revive. TG was bad DB made it worse. I heard rumours it only happens on the elite consoles I can't be bothered set up my original xb1 to test tho. Support no longers helps on this issue they gave up when I told them their help didn't work.

Same on PS4. We are back to the age of infinite loading screens. Matt didn't learn from the epic fail of DAOC launch and server issues continue to be a problem in Dark Brotherhood.

PurifedBladez

Yeah I had a few crashes in elden root.

Also, a visual glitch with weapon swapping that looks really really stupid.

And I'm wondering why my poisons are getting consumed when I cast abilities like vigor.. especially since I'm using purely offensive poisons. It's been kind of frustrating really.

..Just crashed in cyrodil pretty hard in some insanely laggy pvp with reds jumping all over the walls.. it's safe to say that this was their biggest failure yet.

How do they even release something like this? It's terrible.

RebornV3x

Yeah its bad other than getting dailies I don't go anywhere need my alliance hub areas

Zenzuki

I'd take any of that compared to what I've been dealing with!

I can't even get past the "launcher" boss to get to the character select screen?!?!?

One out of every 10-15 attempts may actually load character screen, but as soon as I attempt to load into game....

Blasted back to the xb1 dashboard!!! <grrrrr>

I think I remember turning in writs in Wrothgar, so my main must be in Orsinum (which means I'm screwed apparently)

This has been happening since before the update (although, as expected, the update sure didn't make anything better!)

Haven't been able to play the game for about four days now!

AJ_1988

When I try to attack I seem to mount my horse so I try attacking again and I mount again lol. That's frustrating.

mistermutiny89

Good luck even completing dungeons at the moment... The amount of bs just trying to pick up a pledge is one thing, but once you're in there you get a loading screen nearly every trash pull, light attack weaving is broken too.

Kvatch is broken too... And there's nearly no one on the map... You don't even have to cast an ability or move in that city and you get a dashboard.

How dare they deliver us this crap?!! Xbox needs to add performance testing to the certification process so this load of **** doesn't land on our consoles.

Anyway, this won't get fixed, much like Cyrodiil hasn't been for years and Orsinium for months. We need new blood in that Dev team... Some people with talent and interest in being out unbroken work.

Brrrofski

Apart Orsinium (which has always crashed), i'm having no issues.

Some people in my guild are getting random load screens all the time though

saxgooner

Walk 5 steps, loading screen
Walk 10 steps dashboard
Ride 5 steps, you get the idea
Super sticky plaster needed

To the guy wondering if it's your elite xbox one. It's not.

Me and many others on the standard xbox one are receiving all the issues here. Constant lag and crashes in both pve and pvp. Xbox EU.

Also wrothgar NEEDS a fix. We hand in our writs here. Today on one character It took about 8 yes 8 attempts to drop off writs and get out of that crash fest of a city.

So I'm not alone. This is such a shame that they don't care

I've only been on to do writs in craglorn & Wrothgar since the update, screen tearing, loading screens, been frustrating. Needs a fix.

RoyalPink06

Gotta agree about the guild roster list. That is the most annoying thing ever. All I want is to be able to check my rank status to make sure I'm paid up on rent, but gotta be damn f*****g quick about it if I don't wanna get jumped back to the top of the list every 3 milliseconds. I don't know how guild masters do it.

Haven't experienced the rest of those issues, being on PS4, but it sounds like good times

Rex-Umbra

Crashes are real, patch needed more testing for console.

The_Lex

Every day since the DB dlc dropped, I've crashed to the dashboard more times than I can count. It mainly happens near the hubs, but it even happened last night on my way to Torug's Pact station in Haven. Also last night, I was approached by a guard about my bounty in Kvatch. Before I could choose a response, I DC'd. When I logged back in, my character was lying dead on the ground.

Cr4p0w3

I tried to do the Vet Daylie yesterday with some friends and the lag was absurd.
I couldn't see the enemies so I placed Elemental blocade and start jabbing towards the damage numbers.

I don't know what they did in this Patch, but the game is barely playable open world and impossible to play on DG/Trials/arenas.

@ZOS_GaryA @ZOS_TristanK any news on when the game will be playable again? Or should we all just find a game that works?

You know, since this released, I have been dashboarded just twice - once in the Minotaurs lair near Anvil, and once in Orsinium city. However, in the week prior to the release, I was in Orsinium doing the storyline, and I probably crashed out about once every 4 hours.

And, I think I worked something out. Its all to do with bitmaps, textures, and special effects. Specifically, the XBox crashes when stuff isn't given time to load up. The GPU in it is VERY slow for large bitmaps and textures, and will crash if given too much work to do too fast.

So, because the minotaurs delve is a closed space, when people and the minotaur itself start firing off so much graphically, it overloads and crashes.

The same happens in Orsinium City if you try to run mounted through the city. Just look at the city in detail - there is far more detailed textures there than in any other place in Tamriel. If you go mounted, and don't give the XBox time to load the textures and NPC's moving around (the dog and cat chasing sequence is a classic example), then the system will overload and crash. However, even then, running around on foot in the city can cause it to crash out (the slope between the the wayshrine and the museum is a common place to crash.)

Quite simply put - running mounted in Orsinium City or having more than 5 people in the Minotaurs lair is crash time.

I don't crash out (too often...!) simply because I only use my mount outside the cities, and stay on foot everywhere else. Don't cast large AoE spells either when in the cities - they also cause massive problems. Breath of Life spam and the other AoE heals will all cause problems.

DRXHarbinger

I've actually ragdolled today. On round 8 vma. Half way through the boss fight nothing really freezes I can still move around for like 20s and then....boom slashed across the map with instakill, recorded it trying to learn how to show them on here now.

waterfairy

It's unplayable if you have a character in Orsinium, it won't even let you load before crashing. I know I mentioned this in another thread but I'm hoping if I say it enough then we'll get someone to address the issue.

That might work in certain situations, but it's not a fix for the majority of the problems we face. Case in point: last night, I had been in Rawl'kha for an hour or so to get some crafting done. I leisurely walked to the wayshrine intending to fast travel to Stormhaven for a Dark Brotherhood contract kill. All the players and NPCs in Rawl'kha were "popped in" (no black shadows). After selecting the wayshrine in Stormhaven, I got the usual loading screen when you fast travel. After 3 minutes into the loading screen, I crashed to dashboard. I reloaded the game, and found myself back at Rawl'kha.

It had nothing to do with speed or being mounted. I dashboard crash at least four or five times a night now. It's ridiculous.

EDIT: and I avoid Elden Root at all costs. I'll fast travel to another wayshrine and ride over to get my pledges. Yep, it's that bad. If you're lucky enough not to crash, you get stutter so bad you get seasick.

Thank you for your feedback, @johu31. The crashes to dashboard, long loading screens, and general increase in performance issues we're seeing reports of since the Dark Brotherhood launch on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 earlier this week are a priority and something we're working to resolve as soon as possible. What you and others are experiencing is not the norm, and we apologize for the frustration. For some players, closing all apps has helped, but we're working on a more permanent solution.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom First; thank you for the update, and it's good to hear that this is indeed a priority.

Second; to add to what you've posted, the huge lag spikes and CTD's I've been getting have been with ESO being the only app/program running on my Xbox One. So even with nothing else running, even in the background, these issues persist.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom is your company planing some kind of statement about the problems with the launch on pc and console and what you try to improve? your silent about an obvious intern issue is not helping building longterm trust in your ability to keep an mmo alive

Cryptical

My crafter was trapped at the elden way shrine for a couple days. I sorta liveblogged my pain in another thread.

I logged him on this morning before work, to see if it was quiet enough to escape.
First attempt, a few seconds after appearing I crashed.
Second attempt, upon appearing I sprinted toward the first door I could see - nearly made it before crashing again.
Third attempt, upon appearing I mounted (full 60% speed upgrade) and hit the rapids while sprinting, managed to get away from the tree entryway before a 'unusually long loading time' screen halted me for a while. When it went away, I hauled arse further from the tree and managed to travel to riften - which is a cadwell's area for me and should be fairly empty.
