"Offline" named NPC's and other issues since last maintenance on NA/PC

Anyone else experiencing the world differently today, after maintenance?

For me, all NPC's are named "Offline" , some I can talk to, others I cannot.

My inventory is all messy, with only icons on it.

My houses are all gone from my list , except my primary that I can still port to, although it doesn't have a name.

I have already restarted my PC, logged in and out and ran a repair from the launcher.

    I've had some odd problems (like a world full of empty containers for 6 months, holiday NPCs appearing days before they do for everyone else) but not that one. Sorry you're in bizarro world Tamriel.

    Can you post some pictures of this please?

    It's like being in a Tamriel twilight zone. I'll try to post some pictures, thanks for your reply :)

    I did a forum search and there's actually quite a few posts like this from 2014:

    None of which, notably, mention a solution or eventual resolution.

    Yep, saw them too but since they're almost 4 years old, I thought it might be something different.

    If I recall correctly, last time something like this happened on the French client when some language/translation file got messed up.

    Haven't had Offline NPC issues, but when I went to check on the Prophet, this was my experience in the Harborage today:

    They're both interactable. The seated one takes precedence, and wants me to leave. I guess he wanted to be alone with himself.

    French players have this every single update since Morrowind, traduction deleted .. NPC named "Offline" ect ... We need to wait something like 4 day/1 week to see a fix, let's see how much time they need to fix this now that this affect NA english players.

    Oh, and we had to play with english version while waiting for a fix, have fun with the french version guys ;)

    The directions are pretty clear, imo. Just "tracker goal text" and you're done.

    Thank you all for the support <3

    So I logged on the EU server to check if it would be the same mess and it is :/ Maybe the issue is on my side.

    To @Apherius and @Loc2262
    Thanks for the info, as French is actually my native language, I will try the French version. Might be weird tho since I've always played with the English client.

    What I have tried so far:

    - Restart PC (several times)
    - Log in/out several times
    - Run a repair from the launcher
    - Checked/updated my drivers
    - Disabled all addons
    - Tried another server (EU)
    - Tried another client (French)
    - Submitted a ticket (180122-002325)

    Still experiencing this issue.
    If someone has any idea of what is going on, all help is greatly appreciated... I can't even do my writs :'(

    The only thing I’ve noticed so far today that is different is that the Stablemaster in Kvatch had an ice wolf mount standing next to the stable yesterday, and today it’s a red wolf. Maybe it’s always changed periodically but I only noticed for the first time today.

    I'm having the same problem. All NPCs are named "Offline". My quest journal just says Unknown Quest a dozen times. And my inventory has item images, but no descriptions.


    I had to run verification of files before uploaded patch, because it failed the first two times.

    Now I'm in game, but everything is messed up.

    Looking for reply from a rep.

    @DaneWilson87 , @treatz

    Sorry for you guys :( For now, i'm still having this issue. I'm being taking care of by a CS agent, if/when I have any update, I'll share.
    If it's not on our end, the maintenance broke something for a very few of us (which is what I suspect)
    At least harvesting mats seems to work, so it's pretty much the only thing i'm doing now :o
