eso has stopped working

GMdoghunter

been noticing this since earlier on tonight every time i launch the eso client it lets you login,get to the carachter select screen,lets you select you carachter then after that it starts loading and suddenly crashes with the infamous eso has stopped working screen,all drivers etc are up to date,pc meets way beyond the mimimum spec even high end spec,why is this happening,any help would be grateful.

I've got the same Problem... Since the Patch/Update I need 2 to 3 tries to login into the game... Sometimes I get the *ESO stopped working* error and sometimes the loading screen (the one from Char Selection into the game) just freezes and nothing happens …

Drivers are all up-to-date, as well as Windows 10 and the PC is able to run ESO and other Games (e.g. Star Wars Battlefront 2, AC-Odyssey, Tomb Raider 3, etc.) at max. settings…

I already tried the repair function 2 times, but it did not help to solve the problem…

I think I am experiencing the Mac version of this.

When I crash it’s not to the games log in, it literally goes to the system log in. Very odd.

I also read today that eso has made some changes a lot of things have been blocked as yet i really dont know what has been blocked,one thing is the 3d model previews they have been blocked possibly something causing the issues with the addons,if i find out anything else i will post it here,thanks again shadow.

ZOs changed some security related stuff for inventory creation e.g.,but this will have effect on most of the game as well.
Not sure how to describe it. Addons cause insecure code lines of they hook into the secure context and ZOs changed this to throw more errors now.
Basically all addons hooking into inventories (also at crafting tables) cab affect error messages. Some do this if loaded alone and others only in combination with other addons.

ZOs told us there will be a fix for this soon so let's wait if this fixes the loading screens. I personally disabled all addons and login without any active. Then using AddOn Selector addon to enable the addons needed ingame, which does not kill the client than. Oh and. Open the inventory at least once after login/reloadui before doing something else also fixes some error messages so far.

I hope the fix will be online on Monday than but it's nothing we addon devs can cure so far.
All the devs can do is to check if they overwrites some standard functions and use SecurePostHook instead now, and check if Zo_PreHook is used correctly as well. Do not hook into the inventory slots during creation but afterwards e. G.

Thank you most kindly Baertram this really sheds a light on what is happening with the game at the moment.
Much appreciated as strangely enough it seems to be the crafting addons which are mostly broken.
