PSA - Regarding load screen loop lock in Cyrodiil

NeillMcAttack · July 2017

So you've gotten an "unusually" long load screen.

You close the client and re-log the crashed toon only to find it still won't load leading to a load screen loop. Well, if you load a different character before logging on to the toon stuck in the loop, it forces the locked character to be placed back at the Cyro gate meaning you should then be able to log the loop locked toon again and find him free to get stuck again.
These load screens usually occur from high demanding events like trying to load numerous players and particle effects.

You may also get hit with a fairly random load screen just reviving or porting to a keep or outpost. A handy work around when hit with these is to get a member of your group to hit you with a trade invite as this will often help your system to complete the loading, this has worked many times for myself and guildies. Your character is always just standing at the spawn on point of the keep you chose to load in at. Though this can make it a little difficult to target the right player to invite to trade as there can be many other players standing in that exact same spot.

Let us know if either of these points help you as I know they have helped myself and guildies many times. Also I guess knowing these work arounds may help ZOS alleviate the problems in the future.

And if anyone else out there knows of any tips to help alleviate the stress of a packed Cyro let us know. (INB4 "just don't go there")

This is exactly what I use... I have also noticed with the "unusual long loading screen" if you wait 5 minutes and its not back by then, then yes relog, but most of the time with mine it does come back after 5 mins

Need to wait for the toon to time out, 10 mins tops. Go for a smoke & Coffee and come back and it'll be there.

Gap closers cannot be used for the duration of this event I feel. I couldn't engage in any close quarters combat last night, just loaded magdk heavy attack spam and it worked kind of OK...but the lag was truly real.

Anyone that wants just a huge AP farm just get to a pinch point like the bridge and keep aoes up. If you can park a zerg and keep caltrops and static destroy ult you'll rake it in.
