How long do you sit on a loading screen before ragequitting?

Loading screens are mostly ok, just a few seconds. However, sometimes they take forever. I find that if I wait a few minutes, they usually load. Right now, I've been sitting on the loading screen of Crestshade Mine for 10-ish minutes. It really feels like the server is acting up.

Great strategy, actually. Can't begin to think just how many books I could consume while playing ESO.1 -
randomkeyhits✭✭✭✭✭Depends really,
PvE? never more than a minute.
PvP? If its at a low population location maybe two minutes. If it is at the site of a big battle at least five, possibly up to ten minutes. Usually a good time to grab a fresh drink.

Next time u get an infinite load screen, ctrl alt delete, bring up task manager and close eso from there. Should fix the problem.
If it doesnt, the issue is on ur end with ur pc, either it needs a physical cleaning (dust, hair, etc) or u need to upgrade ur ram, OR upgrade to an ssd.
This has been the case with me. Maybe its the same for u.

✭✭✭I used to wait it out. Later I closed the game and restarted (not during event because I would be booted out of cyrodill).
But lately if I have one laoding screen that takes to long, I press alt+f4 and play another game.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."0 -

✭Have never rage quit - prefer to channel inner calm, or something like that. The most I have waited is about five minutes before closing and restarting. To be fair, I don't often have loading issues.0 -

Kahina✭✭✭I have to question this thread.
I connect from the west coast of Australia. I also connect to the internet via wireless broadband. And every second week, I connect there from the edge of a desert in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes things drop out, but connections are pretty good all things considered.
The game needs mid-range ping equalization and an Australian server. And less DDOS attack management. That's about it.0 -

Agalloch✭✭✭✭✭After every patch I must wait 10-15 minutes for the game to load and sometimes receive request timeout or connection lost.
In game I have some loading screens when changing the zones, but they are short .
In PVP rarely I have a loading screen .

RoyalPink06✭✭✭✭✭I wait for the 2nd "this is an usually long loading time" (or whatever it says, I forget exact words) before shutting it down. Sometimes the game comes back after the 1st message, but not usually after the 2nd.NA PS40 -
GreenhaloX✭✭✭✭✭
✭Yeah.. can be annoying, especially those blue screens, but close application, reload game and relog in character, ehh, only takes a short couple. You'll be fine. Many other stuff within the games and uncivilized players that are worthy of rage quitting or complaining.0 -

✭✭I wouldn't ragequit but I'll close the client after a minute or so. If it hasn't loaded by then it just seems to time out eventually.Last time I restarted, I tried to enter the same area and it made me wait a long time again.
I got this advice in zone chat long ago and it seemed to work so I'll repeat it.
Log in a different character who is on another map. Then try logging in with the character who got stuck. That seems to fix the problem of one specific map refusing to load.0 -

About as many as I use to consume playing EQ...all the down time in that game between waiting on boats and resting after a fight. Got through the first few Wheel of Time books in a couple weeks lol.0
