I've been avoiding pvp for the last year I think....jumped back on...IT'S THE SAME. The map (Cyrodiil) can't handle locked alliances, it's very big and in the end unresponsive leading to loading screens.

Zos does nothing to balance campaign populations. At least give some incentive to spread the population between campaigns. Is this how it's gonna be? Just one campaign crowded and if the alliances start to get lock the so amazing loading screens appear? Really... Can't we have a healthy population between all 3 alliances, healthy campaigns?

Im usually on sotha sil, and honestly, even with a pop locked ep, and dc and ad being 2 bar it still did the same thing.

Dang. All the people like 20 pages ago who told me that all my issues with this game are cause I play on console instead of PC look really stupid right now.

And no. I am not the only PC player that has the problem. I'm just one of the few who post it.

It hangs always after the same line in the log file. It's so difficult to digg in your code and find out what going wrong????

Keep this thread alive ppl! Dont let zos lose sight of the fact that the game s still very broken atm in major areas.

EU PC-MAC: I wish I had seen this earlier. Joined recently and spent some money on the game, but I'm beginning to regret this. The ESO infrastructure is simply not able to handle the normal traffic during day time. This starts with insanely long loading screens and continues with guild banks and stores not responding (not being implemented) properly, i. e. requests time out, items are not stacking (why?), ...

It's obvious to everyone (but ZOS?) that this is neither a client-side problem nor caused by users' ISPs. It's caused by horrible mistakes in the client-server communication (network protocols) and weak infrastructure on their side.

What I didn't know in the beginning is that all these issues are known for years now and have been largely IGNORED by ZOS.

To make this perfectly clear. It's also obvious to everyone that this is not the developers' fault. It's a management decision to not allow developers to improve existing aspects of the game and to fix bugs, but to force them to focus on making content that creates more revenue.

Of course, companies need to make money in order to keep running and pay the bills and salaries. But at some point the money making aspect of a business becomes so dominant that it turns into pure greed. We have reached this point quite some time ago. Many companies have reached it.

It's neither fun to work (as a slave) under such management nor to be a customer (a sheep). It's about time for a player (customer) and developer (ZOS employee) alliance and to show them that there is a line.

Shame on you, ZOS management!

New years day suprise hotfix?

Currently experiencing endless loading screens trying to log in any character logged out in the wailing prison on both EU and NA servers.

Right now, I have long loading screens in Alik'r desert while using a mobile hot spot and grouped with dolmen farmers.

When I jump with the others, the loading screen stays until the dolmen has been cleared and everybody has jumped to the next one. Once I try to follow, the same thing happens again.

So it seems like it is an issue with cell load (many players) and i/o behavior of the internet connection.

But I am sure this is already known.

Edit PS:
I can play other games, i.e. fast paced Team Fortress2, just fine using the same connection method.

Bump.

This cannot be ignored. It's still happening.

LadyAstrum

Past week I've been having long loading screens. PC NA. Particularly when doing dolmens and porting to the next wayshrine. Doesn't matter if it is Auridon or Alik'r Desert. When it occurs it lasts long enough to miss two or three dolmens, and then the load screens will continue to be lengthy until I shut down and restart the game.

This isn't acceptable as a paying customer. It's frustrating and makes ZoS look inept. Please sort this issue out.

Just hit another long loading screen in Alik'r. PC-NA in case you stopped paying attention. (We know you did.)

Hit a long loading screen in vvardenfel on Xbox na. Waited the required 2 mins and it didn’t time out and push me through. Had to terminate the game and wait for the log again. I thought it was supposed to
Time out after 2 mins so what is going on ?

Going to be fixed in the new dlc??

PC EU - I only get long loading screens when I'm in group in Cyrodiil and I die so I had to stop grouping which is bad solution for various reasons.

Earthewen

loading screens and crashing continues to be an issue especially in PVP. This problem isn't only NOT resolved, it seems to get worse. Can we go back to the days BEFORE attempt to shut down the gold spammers, which seemed to make this problem worse? IDK what the devs did then, but it didn't help.

Random loading screens that get you killed, crashes outside of contested keeps that leave you standing in the middle of a field ... yeah, I'd say there are still a LOT of issues that need fixed and have since the release of the game.

CombatPrayer

The only way to get this fixed is to cut them off at the knees by never spending another penny on anything. That will never happen because people will gamble their hearts out just to get some impossible to get glowy mount or skin or outfit.

I have to go through a series of unplayable bugs. Dying when I shouldn't due to stuns and fear while my shield ult is up. As soon as I die, I get a mega load screen and can't log in for a while after resulting in being kicked from Cyrodil and kept from defending the keep I refused to leave.

Sarousse

What I found out yersterday :

a loading in cyrodiil was taking long. I watched at my CPU usage : 90%.

Il lasted for like 5+ minutes.

During this time, the eso64.exe process went from 4 Gb to 2 Gb.

Then it finished loading, and the CPU went back to 20-30% usage.

It justs looks like you're still facing a memory leak problem and that the dumping of the memory that you probably programmed is doing ***.

Hello everyone,

We’re creating this thread so there’s a central place to have discussions and provide updates on the long loading screens that many of you have been experiencing. We know this issue is extremely frustrating, and for some, is preventing you from playing all together. We’re doing everything we can to get this fixed as quickly as possible, and have made it a top priority for our engineers. Our QA team has been testing various scenarios so we can collect as much data as possible, including hopping in and out of PvE zones, dungeons, Trials, Cyrodiil, and Battlegrounds, all with varying amounts of players (we’re utilizing bots for situations requiring higher numbers). We’ve also been able to pin down a solid reproducible case for us to investigate that our own Game Director Matt Firor was encountering.

As of now, our only update is that our engineers and programmers are still working to pin point exactly what’s causing this. Until we know, we won’t be able to put in a fix. As for what you can do to help…

• Let us know which system and megaserver you’re on if you’re currently having this issue.
  • If you’re on PS4, please specify if you’re on a regular PS4 or PS4 Pro.
  • If on Xbox, please specify if you’re using an Xbox One, Xbox One S, or Xbox One X.
  • If you’re a PC player, let us know what sort of processor you’re running.
• Is there any specific area or zone you consistently see a long loading screen?
• What are you doing when you experience a long loading screen?
  • I.e.: Using a wayshrine, resurrecting, looting, etc.
• Are you utilizing any sort of SSD?
• If you play on Xbox, is the game installed on the internal hard drive or an external hard drive?
• If you’re on PS4, are you using the first party hard drive or a replacement?

Thanks for your patience on this, everyone. To reiterate, our priority right now is fixing this issue as soon as we can. We’ll provide updates in this thread as we receive them.

I've noticed that the load screen issue when traveling in pve has improved; however, in PvP when a keep flips there's a load screen. It's extremely bothersome especially when you're on the inner and there's a chance to flip it back but instead die and lose the option due to said load screen. I've sent numerous bug reports regarding this. PC/NA/Cyrodiil

I mentioned the loading screens for two characters going on until disconnect about pages 12-13. I solved the issue by a process of elimination since it was always the same two characters. It turns out that once the Ancestral Tomb Quest (ie collecting Ancestral Tomb rubbings in Morrowind) is started you have to follow through with it until you've completed the "Lost Library of Andule" Quest. Once I worked it out I completed it for both characters and I no longer have that character logon disconnect issue.

Now it even happens when running solo in cyro. Any official word on this?

Stuck in a "this may be an unusually long load time" screen when going into Veloth Ancestral Tomb for over 5 minutes now. The loading screen is up, but around the edges of the screen I can see a few pixels of the room and my character. From that, I can tell that I'm able to move my character and the camera. I can hear other players doing stuff nearby, too. I'm clearly loaded in, but the screen is still up.

- PS4 NA
- regular PS4
- replacement hard drive
