Caught by the gaurds

SilentSilvertongue

So I continue to have an issue, not specific to location. When I have a bounty and am caught by the guards I am able to use [clemency]. Post use, if I am caught by a second guard I am immediately frozen in place and may not break free. I am subsequently killed and re spawn. But even after spawning, I am unable to move nor make any efforts to recall. I ultimately have to dashboard and reload the game. Does anyone else have this issue?

*Also should note I am playing on NA XB1 Server. My Character is Argonian, NB.

Well, there's your problem. Argonians are not known for being stealthy.

Haha, but the issue still remains that if caught the game locks up even post death/re-spawn.

This has been an issue for me for a long time. Made a post about it, never got any response from ZOS...

Myrddin, have you also been having the issue with your reward loot containers being empty (and freezing your screen) since the Guard issue started? Both started the same time for me.

Still having the issue, now I just lost 3K in gold. Not to worried about the gold but the lock up is getting REALLY old.

Bounty/Guard screenlock bug

Since I started playing a few months ago, I've been having this problem pop up when a guard catches me when I have a bounty. About 75-80% of the time when they come up to me, they will start a conversation, but then move straight to combat as though I chose the "flee" option. Not only did I not choose that option, I never got the chance as no dialogue showed up at all. Worst of all I'm still stuck in conversation mode, and nothing gets me out of it. Not Alt, not escape, not resetting the UI, nothing. My character has no choice but to stand there doing nothing while the guard beats them to death. Afterwards, when I try to revive, the screen is still locked up, and all I can do is log out/quit the game to get it to reset. Sometimes after I revive I find they took all my stolen items but left me with my bounty intact, though this is not consistent.

I've seen it happen to other people. I've also found some threads asking about this issue with no response:https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/286234/city-guard-bounty-bug-is-there-a-workaround-or-so#reply-anchor
Another one shows this problem affects XBOX users:https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/293293/guard-bug

I'm hoping with the Thieves Guild event going on that this issue will finally get some attention.


This is not only my account having this issue....

Ha ha.. I saw this comment on Argonians coming for a mile.

Anyways.. oh man. I haven't experience this issue, but definitely bad bug here and needs a fix. However, it will surely be a good while if ZOS/dev gets it on their radar, as any other bug issues/posts.

Yeah, I chose the Arg before I knew the mechanics of ESO. I had always played Arg Shadow Scale type in previous ES games. Too bad you can't swim underwater like previous editions have allowed but that's an oh well issue for me.

I've been having this issue for a little over a week now. I hope it gets addressed soon.
