    or are you gonna to fix ZOS servers connection problems for people who unfortunately but live in places with worse internet connection or even in worse places with connection to ZOS servers?

    your answer was like: if you are poor then stop being poor so you would have money - 200iq move

    I'll shoot you my Cashapp username if you are going to help lol, Its not my PC, I've been playing this game since launch on this machine and any other day its been fine, I wouldn't mind the crashes but when I get near to getting into Cyro and THEN it crashes, that's what annoyed me the most

    Anyway I've calmed down now so a Mod can delete this

    xD

    well, my friend got better graphic card and something else to his computer, so games like wither 3, idk but likt one newest tobrider he can play perfectly on ultra and even on uber graphic settings with high if also not on ultra on just new games, without single problem, without single flaw in it

    but in ESO? it is different story :v

    it realy amused me when I have seen on his computer how clear run many of newer games on how high graphic setting while in ESO on some medium and some high settings....his FPS was dropping from 60+ to under 30, under 20 in many places in ESO, even in empty places without players in sight

    this was just showing how badly this game performance is designed and white-knights will always defends every aspect of this game..well like in every other game doeasnt matter how good or bad it is..some people are just to blind

    So one of the main problems i notice is " poor people" who play also try to do the most extreme resource heavy things in the game. Its like, they have the personal goal to push their system to the limit and beyond, then say its all ZOS's fault. I laugh when these same people post videos of their "poor performance" and their are 50 players on screen spamming random abilities for no reason and then 20 enemies show up and they crash. Or they go into the most intense pve settings and have all their graphics settings on high and complain about poor performance but are determined to play in 16k Super duper ultra HD.

    Its not about poor people many times, its about poor choices.

    The OP is on the EU server, it's really messed up there. Honestly EU players would be better off playing on the US server. They'd have the same ping the Aussies have but you can still play on the server 70% of the time.

    Problem with EU players playing on US server is we'd lose not only our characters and progress, but all our crown store purchases, too. Which, you'd think in 2020 shouldn't be an issue for ZOS to find a way to allow us to transfer everything between servers, or AT LEAST allow crown store items to be account-wide.

    You have more determination than I do. I don't think I could have waited as long as you did with all the crashes. My guild decided we would NOT be going to our normal hang out during the event, to avoid the atrocious queues and probable crashes. Being in a different campaign today for the most part was fine, but at one point everyone disconnected and there was a roll back of maybe an hour. So that was fun. Then later I crashed a couple times, but my worst queue to get back with my friends was only 20 so not too bad. Nothing in me wanted to wait in queues 100-400 people long even once let alone multiple times.

    and yet their "problems", crashes with game is only on their fault even when with literally any other game they dont have problem, right

    it is very funny

    I have also played before gw2, I went on WvWvW on my poor old pc with mid graphics
    and yet I was at not only once when not zergs but 2, 3 or 4 blobs was meeting in same place (castle or something, point to take), it was like 30+ vs 30+ vs 30+ and more and more...no single problemw ith performance, the only siginifican thing was just lag in reaction of skills, from instant it went to maybe 2 sec delay

    if you have played gw2 you would know this also have great graphic and even have much more details like many moving parts of your armor, outfit, weapons

    while in ESO I dont even see many players yet, I just know there is 1 zerg away and rest people on campaign just in any other places on map so I dot even know who and where is and it is so far away....and yet ESO is just crashing, lagging making delay in skills for 10+ seconds and making cast abilities just impossible to even use

    yeah, so this all is problem only on my side because my coputer cant handle few players on screen, dozen (not dozens) behind keep wal and resource and rest of the campaign which my computer have even no reason to load them from so far away
    yep, definitely fault only and only on my side because my pc is to weak to handle this in ESO with minimal settings while beaing able to handle on mid/high withcher 3, DS3 and gw2 with blobs of players just visible on screen, like ZOS have done perfect work with their game and their game is literally flawless so we cant blame them for bad performance of this game

    btw, why they should cancel this event just .because of you?

    Actually lots of people are having issues on pc EU, with queues of up to 3-5 hours, only to freeze when loading in, or crash the second it gets busy o screen. Yesterday was horrible for me, today was ok, it is really rng at this point. But it is awful. Once again na players having a laugh at EU players, but oh boy imagine if this happened there.

    Then go do pvp in one of the other campaigns where it isn’t full

    maybe if zos would give server tranfers they would. Zos just wants their players on certain platforms to suffer, for years. If they gave a damn we would have transfers.

    But if too many people move over to NA then the problem would just spread AND those people would have lousy ping?
    Seems it would be better if ZOS just did more to help EU.

    just choose one of the less populated campaigns. if you're on EU this shouldn't be too hard since only like 12 people still play on that jok—err, server, anyways.
    Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
    "Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""

    why do you still insist playing in cyro?
    It is broken since a long time, and zos announced last year that they will (try to) fix it in Q2/2020.

    The multithreading introduced on the PTS should be the method they use to reach that goal. Unless that is not released on the liveservers, it is pure masochism trying to play cyro seriously.

    I just play it on xbox for some hours each month for transmutation crystals, then stop as it makes no sense when the game freezes every 10-15 minutes.

    Just so you know, when you play this game and use browser with hardware acceleration/decoding enabled (nearly all of them), the game and/or browser does not respect the memory of the other application. When Windows detects it, it will crash the program (normal behavior).

    The difference between other games and this one, and other games that cause the crashing issue is that those games that crash and cause this problem do not reserve a maximum fixed amount of memory. I'm pretty sure most people noticed increased crashing when they moved to the 64-bit client; it's not coincidental and probably why the client and launcher are getting a reworks.

    Hmm hard to explain it, but it has to do with how memory is handled and ESO's dynamic sizing. It also may be related to their threading implementation if they are using an older library because some older thread libraries assume data is always either (a) sequential in ram and/or (b) start and stop points in RAM are properly addressed (no safety checks on data).

    Well only ZOS really knows! All of this is concluded from observation...so I could be wrong, but for some reason I highly doubt it.

    It's not a question of ' fault '. It's a question of common sense.

    This event was No surprise. It was well advertised. So, Common Sense tells you that YOU/WE are going to need to make some adjustments during this limited time.

    So maybe you don't play at PEAK hours. Maybe you Plan to play on late night hours. I have not had ANY problem whatsoever getting into Cyradil with No queue. I just look for the empty server and if there are none I Come Back Later.

    I know this may be hard to believe... but NO GAME caters to any individual.

    Its hard to have sympathy, if you are of the mindset that you are going to play just like normal, at your normal gaming time, as if there is no event going on... and you run into packed servers... and now you want to complain about it. You KNEW it was going to be like this.

    So we should not play between 4 pm and 2 am. Ok, yeah, that's not absurd at all.
