What's With the CTD in Cyrodil with 100% loss of Game Progression??

WTH is happening ZoS??

Just returned from a a long break of playing ESO. Playing on Steam/PC and was just in Cyrodil on the 7 day Standard Malacath server. I was doing some sandbox exploring delves etc outside of the PvP campaign in Covenant territory. Completed several delves and leveled up with skyshards.

Got to visual distance of another delve when the server CTD and booted me right back to the damned main menu screen? And when I finally logged back into the game, it was in the original zone outside Wayrest) where my PC was before joining the Cyrodil campaign. Checked my stats and lost ALL of my game progression leveling up skill points for skyshards etc.

This entire gaming session was complete B.$ and a total waste of my time. I literally lost 3 hours working on my character build this morning. Is there anyway to get back the skill points and CP points I lost? If there isn't a fix for this, there really isn't any point in playing ESO anymore. This is the reason why I took time off from playing it for over a year now. And the same performance result.

    Roll backs can and will happen, but they are a rare occurence and imo it isn't a strong enough reason to completely stop playing the game, since you can play for months without experiencing one. Unfortunately I don't think you'll be getting that progress back.

    Favorite Foods and Potions
    https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif
    • Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
    • Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
    • Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
    • Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

    Any idea what the reason for the rollback was? Usually rollbacks have a reason related to undoing period of exploits or what not.

    I had multiple ones with 30 minute rollbacks. Also 5 second input lag. Why they don’t just delete pvp and focus on properly making classes balanced for pve end game and add mechanics to each class is beyond me. I will never touch eso pvp again in my life and that was my first experience. Please stop wasting time and resources on the unfixable someday I hope to see pvp removed and a redone pve zone.

    While that is usually true, they have been all too common during the PvP event. I think I've experienced four of them since Thursday - two with crash to character select, the others I stayed in the game but was suddenly a a minute or so back from where I'd previously been. This is in addition to the usual kick from the game where, if the roll back exists, it's too short to notice as compared to the time to re-log.

    Well after rage quitting and spending several hours playing RDR2 to decompress, I went back online (in a significantly calmer and a more emotionally mature frame of mind lol). After mulling this over, I now think what you mentioned about roll back might be the case.

    During the CTD, I had enabled an outdated version of Tamriel Time (last update was around 2016 or so). This mod widget basically helps me keep track of well--time. And the 2nd one (that really shouldn't have made a difference) is the a Sky Shard icon map. Which does exactly what the mod title says. It allows the shard locations to appear on the map for easier grinding to collect and level up.

    But I can't see how either of these would be considered an exploit? Because I had both of these (to include a dozen or so other utility/UI mods) when I was playing over a year ago. Over 90% of these mods were up to date yet never had any problems i.e. had exactly ZERO issues with CTD.

    So the only rational connection I can think of may be Skyshard mod related. It was at the last delve I successfully cleared and got the 3/3 shards to get the skill point. Headed out to the next delve and was within visual range before the CTD. When the game tried to reload, I noticed it briefly flashed the region that last Sky Shard delve was in. Then this screen then disappeared and I was kicked to the main menu.

    So like I said, can't see how either time mod (which would just display the wrong in game date/time stamp for the game) or Sky Shard mod (which just put a static icon on the map) would cause the CTD :neutral:

    wait. Are you saying this is a typical thing given the event week? Well now, I'm starting to feel like a real genius here. I though that if your connection bars were at max (at 3 bars) that this was a sign your network connection to the server was good? I was in a remote area of Cyrodil. Far away from all the murder hobo, tag team rave parties that were going down over those blasted digital scrolls. :D So no, no players around me for a good lightyear or so. Only NPCs and so server lag etc. were not an issue. But if everyone was experiencing this on the servers as of today...

    As The Walking Dead Negan was infamous for saying: Well sh***te.... :D

    It's not your addons or system or internet. It's been happening in Cyro for about 2 weeks now, infrequently. Usually a effects a lot of people at once. Probably with the stress on the servers with the event it's just been happening more often.

    If a rollback happened I don't think it would have been isolated to just you. It would have been everyone. Especially when the addons you mentioned sound harmless. If you actually were doing something suspicious you'd probably have gotten an email follow-up as well.
