I've been playing Elsweyr a lot during the last week or so, and it seems like each daily play session includes at least one occurrence of having the game just close for no apparent reason. I'm not talking about getting hit with a load screen, or kicked out to the login screen, but actually having the game close on me. Is this par for the course in Elsweyr, or is it just me?

    I've not noticed that at all. It is the only place I get random load screens though. This is PC EU, not sure what flavour your server is.

    If the whole game just shuts down without errors, it's probably on your end.

    I'm currently playing Elsweyr on the NA PC/Mac server, on a MacBook Air. My Windows PC is out of commission right now due to hard drive failure, and ESO has been running great on my MacBook Air-- other than the problem where it won't shut down properly, necessitating a Force Close, which I've seen mentioned by other Mac players. But not quite a week ago I began to run into this problem of ESO just closing itself while I'm in the middle of doing something. I get a popup screen afterward that says ESO shut down unexpectedly and do I want to send a report to Apple, which I've been doing. Last night it happened twice. I haven't been experiencing this issue in any of the other zones, just in Elsweyr.

    I've been having a lot of bluescreens and random loadscreens. I'm hardly ever in Elsweyr tho so that's not the cause. I'd be inclined to say it's coincidence, or just because that's where you're spending more time

    Aah, maybe I should have read the Mac Technical Support forum first...

    One of the specific locations mentioned-- the house in Riverhold where you have to go talk to Abnur Tharn-- is indeed one of the places where I've had this happen to me, so it seems like there's something definitely amiss, because if it were simply an issue on my end then it shouldn't be happening repeatedly at the same locations for different people.

    I haven't tried any trouble-shooting steps yet, but it just seems odd that it's only in Elsweyr, that (apparently) it's usually at specific locations in Elsweyr, and it's happening to other people besides me.

    Well, at the least you do now know it's NOT just you! Hope you get it sorted.

    It's because of a Dragon's shout the "Fuz To Alt-F4". Just install a mod that lets your wards absorb shouts.

    Never had this happen in Elsweyr but have had it happen in Cyrodiil many times.

    I get the blue screen of death (PS4) but I get that everywhere. So no, not just Elsweyr.
