Unable to log in past the Character Select screen

Merina

Have never experienced this problem until last night, but now I am able to login to my account, but cannot enter the game as any of my characters. It gives me "Requesting Character Load..." when I attempt to connect before kicking me back to the main login screen with "An error has occured. Please wait a few minutes and try again."

So far I have tried:
Running the ESO launcher's repair tool
Restarting my PC
Restarting my modem/router
Turning off all my addons
Putting my Addons and SavedVariables folders into a backup and allowing ESO to create new ones

I highly doubt it's a port forwarding issue since I haven't altered anything in my setup and my Internet connection has been stable using other programs. Any idea what my problem might be?

Exact same problem here. Occasionally it will let me on (usually if I select an alt) but the server will be super laggy and unresponsive and it will disconnect me after a very short time.

I am having this same issue. A couple times I was able to have the characters load in, but got kicked shortly after.

EDIT: It would seem that a hard reset of my system has cleared it up (for now)

The game constantly crashes today after playing for only a couple minutes. This has never happened to me before but it is getting very annoying. I have reset my system and ran speed tests on my equipment. Everything is running at optimal settings...except the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
