Main Thread for Long Loading Screens

Well that's weird... where I come from, if [snip] goes wrong at work on friday, well we come back on saturday and on sunday if we have to to fix said [snip]. Looks like ZOS is not a company who really cares. Taking weekends when the core of your business is not working properly is beyond me really

What you are failing to take into account is that they have been testing fixes to this point, and now have to do a build, test that build, submit it to Microsoft and Sony for approval, and then wait for them to complete that approval. After all of that, you can have it.

So, yes, if they need to be working the weekend to move that forward, then they are probably working this weekend.

Are they working weekends? I don’t think so seriously.

Can I drive by the office and peek in the windows and see them? No. That said, if they intend to get the console patch to fix loading screens built, tested, and approved for deployment on Wednesday, and to do that requires that they be working this weekend, then yes, they are working this weekend.

Moving between wayshrines seems to be okay today. It's reviving at keeps in Cyrodiil that's the issue. Every death that needs me to revive at a keep ends with a long load screen and either being kicked for inactivity or losing connection to the server.
I'm posting here a lot, but I'd like to keep the issues noted from my end; whilst still providing feedback on said issues.

[*] What are you doing when you experience a long loading screen?

• I.e.: Using a wayshrine, resurrecting, looting, etc.

On Xbox North America,
Xbox one, internal hard drive install.

No consistent duplicator incidents.
I’ve experienced it when using a wayshrine to another zone, on restart I am sometimes still at the departure and sometimes at the destination.

Also had it happen on loading into stormhaven after leaving a group in a dungeon instance.

Once had it happen on the initial loading of a zone during first character login on the day. As in, I turn on the Xbox, start Eso, choose a character and get the eternal load screen.

2 weeks ago i had 25 plus on during peak in my pvp guild.

Last night i logged in to get my hirelings, 5 people online. Not only have you ruined my fun for 2 weeks, now guilds are dying.

Killing gameplay and social lol get wrecked zos.

So if you guys are going to be away for thanksgiving leave does that mean the loading screen issue isn't going to be fixed till after thanksgiving or until december sometime if that's the case the games dying already if it takes that long it might be to late to do anything about it to get people to return that is if zos even cares

eso_lags

This is cancer.. I hope a fix next week is real b/c this is insane.. If pvp was always like this i would not play. The worst part is everyone not playing pvp.. If others would play and deal with the issue like some of us it would be ok.. But people, myself included, get frustrated by hitting 4 load screens in 10 minutes and having to restart each time.. Please get this fixed.

Oh and you guys should really think about giving something to the platforms for this issue. I mean a costume, a crown crate, a mount, whatever.. A lot of us didnt cancel our eso plus or request refunds for this month so it would be a nice gesture, because im 99% sure it will be 3-4 weeks of no pvp by the time its fixed...

Nah, I had it happen twice today from wayshrine to wayshrine in Vvardenfell

I could put this not politely and abusive but lets just say that they dig a grave and sunk that mount or whatever to deepest loading screen yet.

If that has anything to do with this mega blunder than they might as well shutdown the servers for good because that shows how out tuned of reality ZoS are...

Tried some PvP today utterly unplayable and so many players have had their final straw because of this new feature.

Yep and they kicked a bunch of the top ep pvp players on Xbox na. Ep is taking a break I guess or quit because we went from consistently winning Vivec to having nothing and losing in all the campaigns. At least bring back the banned players.

We have multiple players and accounts in the house with a variety of hardware. For the most part the game runs fine. I have Comcast internet which is pretty stable though the latency is a little high because you put your servers in a stupid place. 350 Cermak in Chicago is pretty much the center of the internet. That's where it should be. For example, Comcast Mpls hands of to ATT in Chicago. but they don't have a backbone from Chicago to Texas so it goes to New York, Then to New Jersey then St Louis and finally to Texas. That's probably 70-80 extra milliseconds. I'd be just about as well off if you put the servers in Iceland. And I feel really sorry for those people in Montana that are probably stuck with a similar but even longer route.

Anyway, we have 8 character on each of our accounts setup for 4 hirelings twice a day and the wife uses times to keep tack of when to do them. That's a lot of character loading. I can tell you that it;s pretty random though definitely worse during evenings when there are a lo more people playing. They're usually pretty smooth early in the morning but in the evening the loads will be slow some times a couple minutes for a character. Often one character will be really bad but the next might be pretty fast followed by another really bad one. They're mostly in the same zone so I doubt character location makes much difference. I have noticed you aren't clearing something between loads though. If I do load characters from multiple zones I eventually start hearing bards singing in weird places. Or in the case of places where bards belong the bard will be singing two different songs at the same time and sometimes an instrumental too. I've gone to Chalman Keep in Cyrodiil and heard a freaken bard singing. Siege weapons are more musical than most of the bards. Make them kill-able again please.

Oh, and frequently during those times of long load screens I will not get one or more of the hireling emails due. Requiring me to logout and reload the same character. No it's not that it's not time the mail yet, I time that to the second and pause timers when emails are delayed. For that mater it can be a day late and I can still miss some emails. Maybe you should change the hireling system to not revolve around emails. Making people repeatedly spam character loads while the server is sucking can't possibly make things better.

If we sacrifice every chicken in ESO can you fix the damn load screens?

CGPsaint

Xbox One S/NA - Game is loaded to the hard drive - Hitting endless load screens when attempting to use Wayshrines in Tamriel. Was happening once every 10-20 minutes. Now it's happening every single time. This has definitely moved well into the realm of absolutely unacceptable, especially for ESO+ subscribers. FIX YOUR GAME. Stop adding *** to the Crown Store and giving away ridiculous mounts that nobody can even use at the moment, and focus on fixing the actual issue, which is preventing players from even playing.

GO OUTSIDE EVERYONE!!!

written as i cycle through all 10 characters doing a little maintenance on each...

played in cyro this morning, mostly hung out around chalman (blood for the pact)...only experienced about a half dozen resets in a couple of hours...zerg up, and don't die my friend...

I remember that glitch where you couldn't log out of your character...that was mildly annoying, this is something else...

I'm in mostly 400 member plus guilds...across the board 20% or lower are currently online on a Saturday afternoon...2 bars for AD & EP and 1 bar DC on our main campaign at the moment - whatever in the world those bars may signify in terms of actual player participation...

Give it a shot.

I don't have much loading screens but disconnects, stuttering and extreme delays are incredibly frequent in Cyrodiil. Not exclusive though, happen in other parts of Tamriel (e.g. Clockwork city), but it's not nearly as severe. I haven't been this much disconnected from the game since... ever. It also doesn't mean if many people are online, happens at random.

PC EU.

Can the mods make an PINNED official rant/[snip] thread? Or are we free to do so here?

Loading screens are needed to load the bits of data in without overloading the persons game memory itself.

With a loading screen means something vast has happened. Most of the perma loading screens are based around a major change in PVP, like when 100 people resurrect at once with a keep flipping colors and guards spawning / despawning all at once. Your game goes into load to try and get all of that to render without any issues or loss of data later.... Sometimes its permanent and personally I'd believe that to be some memory leak.

If it happens (after 1 minute) just alt F4 re-open. Its faster.

how was this bug never caught before it went live.
its not like its something small that only happens on a rare occasion.
not like this could have just slipped thru the cracks
