Main Thread for Long Loading Screens

widowmakerx

Xbox1 NA pvp guild master ....

I have tested load screen in shor, vivec, sotha sil, with 6 man groups to 2 groups of 24 these are my findings.....

Groups size does not seem to matter , when theres more than 1 bar of any alliance load screens at port, respawn, are 95 percent , along with random in world load screens .

The only method that worked with 70 percent of team getting thru was porting 1 at a time 5 seconds apart.

On a side note wardens are terribly unbalanced and are the new alpha class

Battlegrounds are completely unplayable at the moment. I switch between two chars and was only able to finish one out of the last five attempts. That means about an hour wasted.

Getting a lot of these long load screens in a Cyrodiil. Being resurrected is fine, but trying to respawn at keeps usually ends with a long load screen.
The long load screens usually end with the game either closing itself or me having to close/quit the game manually to get it to work again.
Most recent load screen came out of nowhere as I arrived at a keep in Cyrodiil. Quite frustrating. Wouldn't be surprised if I was killed whilst I was on that load screen to be honest.

To give everyone an update for today, we're still working to determine exactly which textures are causing the issue, and why it's happening in the first place. We should have a more substantial update for everyone tomorrow; stay tuned, and thanks again for your continued patience. This is still our top priority to fix.

I’m getting some long load screens on the Xbox One NA megaserver with an older Xbox One. Game is installed on the internal drive, No SSDs.

I get them most of the time while using a transitus shrine in Cyrodiil. Respawning at any keep that is heavily populated with other players seems to always cause the issue, too, but sometimes if I travel to an empty keep, it’s fine.

I also have gotten it in Mournhold while approaching the woodworking stations from the direction of the wayshrine (I normally get a load screen there anyway but now it’s infinite), as well as another spot in front of BRK in Cyrodiil. I’ve had no problems in any other zone, including none in clockwork city. I usually can tell if it’s going to be a long one because the loading indicator spins smoothly, whereas it’ll be choppy when it’s actually loading. After restarting the game, all characters nearby are silhouettes and usually it takes a few seconds to render my character, too.

Edit: just to clarify, I was not in a group while experiencing the issue.

Loading screens in Cryodiil happen when someone in your group is invisible to someone else. Usually it is the latest person to join. For some reason, their character doesn't render properly to some others in the group. If this happens, it will cause those players who cannot see the player to get loading screens.

To fix the problem, the player who is invisible needs to run away from the group (the distance of a resource to a keep) and then run back. At this time, the player should now render properly and everyone should be able to see him. Now, everyone can port or use forward camps without experiencing loading screens.

But every time someone disconnects and rejoins. Every time a new player joins. You need to make sure everyone can see everyone. In fact, it is often safer to find out where the group is first, port there by yourself, and then join the group in that location. And again, people need to check if you are visible to them.

What gets me is this of course most of us is mad you guys put all your attention on the crown store and dlc’s when you are missing the actual problem with the game load screens glitches bugs technical things if you guys cannot fix that then clearly load screens going to take you guys longer then two weeks the game stage that it is in now is at it’s lowest it has ever been and the fact you guys thinking oh let’s come out with a double drop for wrothgar for maelstrom arena for everyone could get there mind off it quit it dude 85% of eso players are PvP players when you see people stream what do you see everyone streaming PvP and stragglers streaming dungeons you guys need to start handing stuff out to these players that play the game that spent so much money on those housing and eso plus memberships cause this is ridiculous pretty sure xbox and playstation players are already done with the game after this.

Spent hours in Cyrodiil today, no problems. I left and went to Deshaan and every time I tried to use wayshrines to travel within the zone I got infinite loading screen.

It's the Cyrodiil deer texture, but there are no deer in Cyrodiil anymore. LOL

Never ending unusually long Loading screen every rez or port in cyro. Some on pve.

Abby update?

Apache_Kid

All my info on system, server etc. is in my previous post. But it seems like it's getting worse in PvE. Have had 3 infinite load screens in the last 90-120 minutes. 1 in Deshaan, 1 in Rivinspire, I in Craglorn. Had a friend who also had one at the EXACT same wayshrine in Craglorn I did (Skyreach wayshrine).

@ZOS_GinaBruno Somehow after surviving multiple battles in cyrodiil this bug disappears(until you relogin or rejoin cyrodiil), maybe it's resurrection animation or something like that creates infinite load time

A never ending loading screen occurs every time I use a transit shrine in cyrodil and sometimes when I’m near a keep that flips. I switched to a less populated map and it did decrease the frequency but still occurred. PVP is unplayable.

This also happens about 1 out of every 10 times using a wayshrine outside of pvp. And on some occasions instead of the screen getting stuck I’ll get a crash error I’m able to send to the developers.

Closing the ps4 app and reopening always gets me back in the game. If I leave the loading screen up for about 20-30 minutes I’ll eventually get the disconnect from server screen.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but the most common long loading screen is right after a patch on PC.

I'm using an i5-4460 CPU, and a Kingston SSD.

Usually takes 10-20 minutes to load after a patch going from login to characters. Though not sure if it's related to the load screens within the game.

PS4 Pro NA server.
Loading screen going into or out of a delve in CWC about 7/10 Times. Loading screen using shrines to port to a keep in Cyrodill about 8/10 Times. Loading screen standing on a flag in a keep about 4/10 Times. Loading screen standing on a flag in a resource about 5/10. Loading screen porting into normal AS about 4/10 Times. Loading screen reviving after a death in Cyridil about 9/10 Times. Loading screen interacting with the writ furnisher guy at Mournhold about 8/10 Times. This one occurs when I press R3 to preview the stuff.

That's a common thing and I don't think it's completely unrelated but I don't think it's something that can easily be addressed as it really only happens after a patch.

Well I just lagged and then disconnected directly to my home screen while at the transmutation station in the Bronze Fortress. I'm on the Xbox One and game is stored on my internal hard drive. Is this issue with being disconnected at crafting stations ever going to be fixed? I get quite annoyed when it happens and it happens everywhere on the map for me.

Casul

NA Ps4 DC. Cyrodiil has lots of issues in my opinion. I would get stuck with a 10 minutes loading screen, give up waiting and reset game. Spawn dead and then get another 10 minute screen while trying to spawn again. At this point I have to reset the game after every fast travel.

Also bars were 2/3 ad 2/3 ep 1/3 dc

Vivecc

PC/EU
interestingly i never had issues in PVE zones ( but play no trials)
happened to me in Cyrodiil campaigns, Vivec, Sotha Sil, Kyne, on population lowest to locked

travelling by wayshrine , rezzing to wayshrine/ base/ camp. Repairing Keep walls (on the moment inner gets closed on a newly captured keep)
for a time i suspected that the cause was being grouped with more than 8 ppl. In fact it seems to happen less often when playing solo, but thats not a guarantee.

Even if i may repeat myself - check on those things you brought in with the ( 1.3??) improved lighting patch. After that a lot of issues started.

Thunderclap

PC/EU:
Happens to me in Cyrodiil campaign Vivec for all different action I can do there.
And since last DLC also in PVE. In PVE it's more crasy. When I travel via wayshrine and the endloss loading screen is happen, I can here for example my dog how it dig a hole or other player how they mount up.

I've experienced long loading screens everywhere I've travelled. It doesn't happen every loading screen, but it happens a lot. For me it happens more often when travelling to larger cities, but last night I got 3 long loading screens in a row while travelling in Alikr Desert.

Since the CWC update I've had to close the game every time I get an "Unsually long loading screen", because they never end.

The long loading screens happen more frequently when a lot of players are online and playing. The game overall has felt "laggy"since the update.

I'm randomly stuck in loading screen when I try to traver from a wayshrine to another or either when I try to travel on another player...

Some days ago we tried to do vAA, where you need to use teleports for progress through the trial, and at each teleport more than an half of the group remain stuck in the loading screen. As if all that's not enough the people who were stuck have been killed by the mobs and the score has been compromised...

@ZOS_GinaBruno any news about the issue? The game is unplayable atm...

You know there is a lot of theories behind all this, one such theory could be with all the people in the world creating fake accounts so they could endlessly farm materials using bot characters to sell for ridiculous prices in guild shops, it is not only a pain for most, but it "could" also be contributing to the long loading screen problems at the same time.

This could be one such theoretical analysis: by eliminating the fake bot accounts, it could bring in a slightly better performance ratio for the game itself across all platforms in "almost" every zone.

(It is only a theoretical assessment. I also know about the Zenimax staff using "special bots" designed only for collecting specific data to better determine the culprit of long loading screens, along with any other hidden problems along the way and as such, those "staff bots" I should call them, are not being counted in this theoretical analysis.)
