Multiple DCs due to "inactivity" daily

CaffeinatedMayhem

I've always experienced occasional disconnects where the game freezes (music is still playing though) and no input is accepted, and I"m DC'd due to "inactivity". Thing is - I can see my character on other's screens (Husband and I have our computers in the same room). I'm just idling normally, not frozen.

Since the Morrowind release this has gotten much worse: from once a week, maybe, to 3-4 times per day. It happens when in battle, when farming, during login/logout. I've lowered graphics settings to increase performance, but the issue seems to get worse. Related or not... I'm also having issues with admins loading. Most load at login... but I still have to reloadui to get all of them fully updating at every login, and after some rezones.

From talking to others this doesn't seem to be a general issue. I do use gamepad mode (with xbox controller) 100% of playtime ( ok, have to turn off for banking, selling, sometimes to way shrine as the map won't zoom out, and to interact with some NPCs). Not sure if the real issue is admins or gamepad mode.

Can someone please provide any help? Having to reload (5-10mins to login, depending) several times a day is really annoying.

I play in gamepad mode always and don't have these issues so I'm guessing gamepad mode is not the cause. I don't need to turn gamepad mode off for any of those things you mentioned. (I also use the xbox controller)

Have you tried running your game without the addons to see if they are the issue or not?

Just out of curiosity @Hippie4927 do you use Win10? I've noticed ESO has a lot more issues with Win10 (which is likely Win10's fault)

Edit: I have to turn off gamepad for banking and selling because my admins don't work with gamepad mode. The Wayshrine thing is pretty much only when I have gamepad on, and the NPC thing is rare, but does happen.

Have you tried repairing the game client through the launcher?

Multiple times. Doesn't help.

Yes, I am on Win 10. Maybe one of your addons is the problem. Have you tried running the game without them?

No, my addons aren't the problem. Are you trying for a "support" job?

Apparently, you're not really looking for help! My game runs fine..........good luck with yours.
