    I get them constantly. Currently get one after every character change/relog, even after the PS4 patch on 20/6.
    Also still getting the stuttering.

    Currently experiencing for a 3rd time a infinite loading screen trying to log in at Summerset, from the character log-in screen. I've already cleared my case on the console

    I am playing on a XboX One on the EU server with the game installed on the internal hard drive.

    I am now gonna try it for a 4th time and clear the case again because it might have not gone right, keeping posted if it might work


    EDIT: It worked for me, after another case clearance the game let me logged in, at the moment I can play again.

    I'm not normally one to complain, but I haven't been able to get into a dungeon since the last update. I've gotten three fifteen minute load screens which resulted in me getting kicked off the server. :< I hope this gets fixed soon.

    I haven't been able to get into a dungeon from a queue for three days on PCNA. Wtf is going on ZOS? Just now my group for city of ash 2 all got stuck in a load screen using the group finder. None of us could get into the dungeon. Group was eventually disbanded.

    The other night all four members of my group could not get into Cradle of Shadows. We tried to queue multiple times and none of us could load into the dungeon. We eventually gave up.

    I haven't been able to complete a single pledge since the patch now that I think about it.

    My friend and I queued together for a random and got Fang Lair, we were both hit with Infinite Load Screen at the same time. Ended up having to close out and relog. Once back online we were both able to port in normally and there was one other party member waiting for us. We ended up having to three-man most of the dungeon as several other people added to the group by DF were also not able to join us.

    rather disappointed that with many long loading issue that are now occurring in both XBox and PC, there is no maintenance planned for this week.
    Saturday evening went round with a group doing WB's in Craglorn each time moving from wayshrine to wayshrine there was an extended loading time. Have just logged in for today and tried to move from elden to summerset after 5mins waiting gave up and reloaded. This time moved no delay

    Good God, this game is taking a long time to load these days. I fire up the client, log in and sit and wait for five minutes and... nothing... just the loading screen with tigers and gazelles in what looks to be Greenshade. I finally kill the client and try again. Still nothing after five minutes of waiting.

    I say F-it and fire up World of Warcraft and am at the characters screen within 15 seconds. I quit and do it again just to make sure. 12 seconds this time.

    12 SECONDS!

    I figure, let’s try ESO again just to see if it *ever* makes it through. This time, it does, after 6 minutes of waiting. I see my characters and am promptly disconnected with “Error 308 (6:3:1551:2) Lost connection due to inactivity. Please log in again to reconnect.”

    I don’t know if it’s the DDoS protection ZoS has in place, but something is seriously wrong with getting to the server. Put some extra rubber bands on the gears or something or I won’t resubscribe because it’s just too annoying to deal with this ***.

    Intermittently getting stuck in LONG loading screens when entering instances (small caves, trials)

    I've experienced this a few times since patch. In my experience when this happens it is a large group (12 people) trying to queue in to the area and all members are stuck for the same five-ten minutes and all are released from the load screen at the same time.

    Last night I tried to queue into nMol with a group and was stuck for over 5 minutes, so I killed the client, logged in to an immediate bug report, logged in again and learned my group had the same issue. No problems with the instance after.

    Previously I was in Cyrodiil in shor getting an AP buff with a group in voice comms and we all tried to enter a delve and were stuck for the same amount of time, released at the exact same instance despite one or two members entering about one minute in to our load screen. An interesting side note is that one or two of our raid killed the client and tried to relog, but they were met with a loading screen as well that only ended a minute or so after the rest of the group was released. (So it actually seems to be faster to just wait it out rather than relog).

    I also have experienced this with Battlegrounds which is by far the worst, because each death takes five minutes to respawn and my group members seemed unaffected. When this happens your group has to play one man down for 95% of the match, which is just bad.

    Was doing the main quest. Was simply trying to enter through the door and I've been sitting here for ten minutes on a load screen. When it did this the first time) waited all of five minutes, I closed out the game and restarted. It happened again when I signed back in and tried to enter through the door again.

    Not only am I getting insanely long load screens 5-10 mins. Sometimes longer and end up crashing the game to try again.. But I am getting Requesting character load for 10 minutes as well tonight.

    Tonight has been a huge problem porting from my various housing looking for something.. 5-10 mins between each house!

    Before tonight it has been happening with wayshrine ports pretty much in every zone but especially in Summerset.

    Loading screens are the worst when first logging into a character. Every single time without exception. Also when randomly quing for a dungeon about every 1 in 7 ques results in a forever load screen.

    Using a SSD for the game and it did help load times somewhat but still by far the worst loading screens of any game I play.

    About 15 minutes ago:

    1. Ran the launcher
    2. Clicked PLAY
    3. Put in my password and clicked LOGIN
    4. Waited 10 minutes
    5. I still had not arrived at my character-selection screen
    6. Closed the client and the launcher because this is just plain stupid

    7. Ran the Battle.net launcher
    8. Clicked PLAY for World of Warcraft
    9. In 12 seconds... 12 SECONDS... I was looking at my character-selection screen

    I don’t know what you need to do on the backend to fix this, but you will either fix it or will lose players, especially those who subscribe like me.

    I swear it feels like a 50/50 chance whenever I enter a building on whether or not I'll have to close down the client and try again because of the loading screens.

    You guys have known about these load problems since launch and have yet to deal with it. It's not client side. I've seen people with monster systems complaining about it then being echoed by other people with similar machines. I myself have an i5 on an ssd so there's no reason why it should take 30-40 seconds to load EVERY time I go in/out of an area. A cave took 20 seconds last night. A cave. You guys need to get this junk under control.
