Crashing at dolmens

sentientomega

I find my game is crashing every time I pull the fourth pinion to trigger the boss stage. I tested two dolmens in Auridon with my necromancer build, and *both* times, upon activation of the fourth pinion, there was a crash. This was not a simple CTD, the error-reporting app was started each time.

Please tell me this is going to be fixed before the live release...

This is now the fifth time this has happened, and that last time, there were no addons or libraries enabled?

What in Oblivion is going on?!

I cannot believe that not one single PTS frequenter has come across this!

Is it only when you hit the 4th pinion? Or do you crash when the 4th pinion is hit even in dolmens you're just participating in?

I got the same issue on 4th pinion with necromancer.
- Everytime game crash
- not using any skill
- only since I unlocked "curing cadaver" and "blastbone" skills

It happened regardless of whether I touched it or not, because one of the most recent crashes I had was when another player hit the fourth pinion, not me.

My circumstances were exactly the same, but I'm not sure whether or not it was slotting some abilities that had an impact on the ability bars, or merely unlocking them through skill points being spent.

My CP-level template necromancer had all the necromancer class passives skill-point-invested to the max, so that's 2/2 for each of the three skill lines' four passives.

My damage bar is filled with the following, base abilities in parentheses: Degeneration (Entropy), Hungry Scythe (Death Scythe), Ricochet Skull (Flame Skull), Mystic Siphon (Shocking Siphon), Inner Light (Magelight) - Ravenous Goliath (Bone Goliath) for the ultimate

My healing bar slotted the following, again, base abilities in parentheses: Mutagen (Regeneration), Blood Sacrifice (Render Flesh), Enduring Undeath (Life and Death), Braided Tether (Restoring Tether), Inner Light (Magelight) - Renewing Animation (Reanimate) for this bar's ultimate

By the by, it was typically the damage bar that was "active" when that fourth pinion was hit, not the healing one. It should also be noted that Mutagen, Inner Light and Degeneration are not Necromancer class abilities, so it seems unlike that they are the culprit.

Of the Necromancer class that I've not slotted but put skill points in, I believe that two of them bear a resemblance to the abilities that you mentioned, but I did not recognise the name of one of them. A Google search for "eso curing cadaver" revealed this top result: ESO - Skillbook | Feedback: Curing Cadaver

Going to that site, the ability's name is subsequently changed to "Bitter Harvest", a base skill ability whose name I do recognise, having unlocked both it and its "Necrotic Potency" morph. I was a little confused, so I needed to know that we were on the same page here. I had also unlocked the "Stalking Blastbones" morph of the other ability you mentioned, "Blastbones". Now, did you slot these abilities onto skill bars, or did you merely unlock them, as I did?

Others I had also not slotted but simply put skill points in were as follows, again, base ability in parentheses: Unnerving Boneyard (Boneyard), Skeletal Arcanist (Skeletal Mage), Summoner's Armour (Bone Armour), and Spirit Guardian (Spirit Mender). Are you sure that none of these or any others that I've listed have contributed to your crashes, aside from the two that you mentioned?

I'm not prepared to keep crashing my game in some experiment just to isolate the one ability, it's over to Zenimax, who evidently failed to adequately test their own PTS build.
