COULD WE PLEASE GET NEWS ABOUT THE CONSTANT CRASHES (PVP)

solasub

NON STOP SINCE THE PATCH ; NO NEWS SINCE 24H

Taleof2Cities

Are your add-ons turned off, @solasub?

At least the add-ons that haven’t been updated since the patch?

Because half the new forums threads on crashes are players screaming in CAPS who forgot to turn off their add-ons.

solasub

well infact at least 50% of those crashed ppl ARE USING ZERO ADDONS
And others : yes we deleted them because we are not stupid. THat CHANGED nothing.

I've seen group bars like that screenshot just when there's someone lazy leading dolmen runs who never kicks anyone when they lazily quit the game without bothering to quit the group first.

Expecting "news" on these crashes so soon isn't realistic.

The most they could say is "we're investigating", which wouldn't be any news at all.

It might take their tech people some time to figure out what's happening. Why it's so crashy now when presumably it wouldn't have been on the PTS, otherwise they wouldn't have rolled this one out.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's totally server side and just a reflection of there being more players right now courtesy of the event, checking out the new client, claiming the pet etc.

Nope. They won't answer. Zoses pretty busy right now censoring and closing crash-related threads.

People are trying to blame addons for crashes?

That doesn't sound likely.

And several vital addons / libs haven't been updated for a very long time but are still vital and still work.

Enabling out of date addons is probably standard practice for many players.

I recon their web update server has crashed too.

Its actually must be a chore - having to cut short their lunch break to deal with us plebs who pay money for the "great customer service"

I have turned mine off and it doesn't seem to help. Perhaps removing the folder may, but other who do not run them at all have reported the same issue.

I also noticed the crashing started in the same manner prior to the patch. The previous night about 2 hours before the server was shut down 11 of an 18 person group started to crash while defending a keep. It happens 4-6 times. It's been roughly the same every since.

the servers are processing too many capitalized letters. it's a known issue.

An emotional zerg general who communicates through CAPS. I cant be the only one getting boss flashback, can I??

What they said yesterday was "We're still gathering information so it's a bit too soon to say when we can fix it or if there's any workaround, but will keep you updated as we know more."

I guess it depends on whether you consider an update within 24 hours to be more or less important than putting in the necessary time to track the causes of the crashes and come up with a clear enough idea of how and when fixes might be realistically anticipated. This has been a major update that involved new content, significant combat and other base game changes, and a massive rewriting of the game engine. I honestly don't think it's unreasonable that they're taking more than 24 hours to produce a meaningful and reliable update on the acknowledgement and information they've already provided.

solasub

@JAwtunes ahah at least you made me smile throught that disaster

I thought most of you had stopped paying money? Or was that just an empty claim? You're certainly mostly still playing, which must mean ZOS have got something right !

The addons are basically code that is interpreted as ran - not compiled - You would of thought they would have like an error capture as part of the interpreter.

This just smacks of a lazy money grabbing company that cant be bothered to test their code properly

I have no idea what you intend this to mean, but it sounds wrong to me.

Addons are known to be the culprit for several serious bugs.

eg. there was a week when after making change to the client, the lazy writ crafter addon stopped working and that or some other addon was actually hiding some items in player inventories. ZO officially commented on this - that they'd pinned down the cause to changes they'd made in the most recent client update which caused some addons to stop working or stop working properly.

I had that one. I'd stashed some jewelry for trait research on a particular character but it wasn't there. Or anywhere. After the next client update they all re-appeared on the character who I thought had them.

Similarly addons are suspected to be a culprit in the invisible furniture bug.

But those are simply UI level bugs, which is the only level at which addons operate.

They don't operate at the level of the client running and shouldn't be able to cause a game crash, other than by overloading a computer's memory. But merely running an older version of an addon shouldn't cause that.

Oh look a zergling, in a group that propably just went offline over time and the leader was to lazy to kick offline players.

Oh look someone who thinks attacking solo players with groups of 4 isnt zerging. Now if youre done being off topic

mabdastardseb17_ESO

I've gone offline in the morning light
And the guild master says Have you crashed again knight

Oh guild master dear I'm not the fortunate one
And elder scrolls dear constant crashing isn't much fun

Oh we all just want to have fun

The beacon lights flare in the middle of the night

A guild master yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh gm dear I'm filling out the crash report's again tonight

But the elder scrolls knights they want to have fun
Oh the knights just want to have -fun

That's all they really want is
Some fun
When the working day is done
knights - they want to have fun
Oh elder scrolls these crashes are just not fun

Some knights take a build
And hide her away from the rest of the world

I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh, knights, they want to have fun

Oh knights just want to have fun
That's all they really want
Some fun

When the working day is done
elder scrolls knights - they want to have fun

Oh, we all just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...

Can you at least not yell, it can be mistaken as..Well being stupid

max_only

It doesn’t matter how calm and constructive you are, people who don’t want to here the message will find something else to criticize about the delivery.

wait for it

RedGirl41

Us on console feel your pain. We had constant crashes (bluescreens on ps4 ) SINCE NOVEMBER TILL FEBRUARY. Now they patch the crashes a out two weeks ago (many still bluescreen) but now our lag and skill delay is severe we can barely even pvp. Skills just don’t go off, no damage is done. Nothing. Hello?!?!?! @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_SarahHecker @ZOS_RichLambert are you guys going to fix anything? Or should console players assume we are going to get destroyed when our patch comes out

solasub

@Thicclady or being upset by the fact we are customers unable to use what we bought and keep buying (by Eso+) with no more info about what is going on?
Being upset because pvp groups are dying, all events cancelled, more and more people quitting the game ?
I wonder, if you buy a car, that is stopping every 5 min and so you cannot use, and get zero answers from the seller, how long it will take you to yell?

solasub

(we got finnaly an answer from Gina so, THANK YOU GINA)

AMeanOne

Well dang if Gina's giving answers how about a console update? Oh yeah that's right we don't talk about that dumpster fire. Must be nice to get things fixed in reasonable timeframes.

max_only

Well maybe the incremental messages can be placed in this thread instead. I have 2 pvp guilds and 1 of them are already picking out names and meeting places in a new game. It’s getting serious. These are people who are always in the top 20. (The other guild I’m in, they’re always in the top 10, but I haven’t had time to play with them to gauge how they feel)

Console players apparently don’t matter. Hence why I uninstalled this garbage months ago.

Take a shot each time the server crashes then it will become fun.
But you probably get alcohol poisoning after 2 hours.
