Tired of the Crashing.

Suna_Ye_Sunnabe

Whatever's been done to housing in the last update has made it to where I can't even visit my own homes. And yes, I have tried the offered "solutions"... I cannot emphasize enough how frustrating it is to have spent hundreds of real life, hard earned dollars on homes that are now a near guaranteed crash (and none of which are at furnishing limit). And when the character crashes at my home, I have to restart my entire xbox, log onto a different character, THEN attempt to retrieve the character marooned at the trap of a home, only for my game to usually crash again anyway. After which point I may be locked out of the character for up to half an hour. I am intensely frustrated with this, as it also applies to friends' houses as well. Please look into a solution for these absurd crashes, Zenimax. Something has got to be done about this.

I cancelled my subscription long ago, but yes, you're correct on all accounts. It's a very frustrating experience playing this game.

I crashed twice today on PCNA. My GF was stuck in a pillar in a dungeon after being feared by a mob. It feared her into the dungeon. /stuck did not work, relogging did not work, teleporting to a player inside the dungeon did not work. She had to teleport to a house, then teleport to one of us in the dungeon, then run back.

Later on, we were in a party. I was sitting down playing the esraj, her game froze. I got up from playing the esraj, the music continued to play. I logged out, the very second I logged, her game unfroze.

This game seems to be getting worse by the week in regards to stability. [snip]

It would honestly be comical if I weren't so invested in this game, but as it is, it's infuriating to see things like what you described in a game of this caliber. Unbelievable.

I know what you mean. I have spent more on ESO than any game in the entirety of my time playing games (since around the mid 1970's).

I do think about the sunk cost fallacy at times. I play because of my heavy investment, but that causes me to invest more. Is it really worth it? At the end of the day, I say no. The game is a love hate balance. I love my characters, I hate the combat. I love my houses, I hate that they feel boring and empty even when filled with stuff. I end up playing for 2,3 up to 6 months at a time before I say enough. Then I come back because of housing. Housing alone draws me back to ESO.

But what bothers me the most is the stuff like I talked about in my earlier post and things like the mail system. Honestly, I don't understand for the life of me why ZOS refuses to fix the mail system. I mean the most basic of features that has been bugged for what? 6 years now? Truth be told, I know why, I just cant talk about it.

Anyway, as with all things, actions speak louder than words.

I hate to admit it, but that is possibly the best analogy that can be said about ESO.
The sad part of it is, it does not need to be this way. Other MMO's have already given the answers to many of ESO's problems, and many did this decades ago.

Unfortunately. Instead of creating a reputation of value and worth, companies now are just throwing out worthless cash grabs and sabotaging their long term customer base. It's bizarre to me.

I have never played an MMO on servers this bad.

Tons of Disconnects. Followed by having to force quit the game because it becomes unresponsive.

Massive amounts of failed logins.

EQ over Dialup for 500% more reliable, and that isn't even an exaggeration.

The only thing carrying eso right now is the franchise name and the lack of competition on console. Which is a horrid shame, considering the truly massive potential of it..

My game has started crashing this week on PCNA. State-of-the-art, up-to-date new system, no addons, fantastically fast internet. Hey Zooooooossssssssssssssss. We think it's yer gaaaaaaaaaaaame.

rpa

For what it's worth, I've been doing overland (Cadwell's Silver & delves, dolmens, public dungeons and wb &cet.) w my new char and for me the game has been remarkably stable. Main annoyance is the usual skills and bar swap trigger bingo. And the slowmountwithoutrapids. PCEU.

That is hilarious, I mean its not, but that just looks hilarious. The look (or lack of) on that skeletons face is priceless

volkeswagon

I noticed a lot of blue screening since the event started.

Pixiepumpkin

I crashed 3 times today in just 2 hours playing. my computer is updated, not sure why game runs so bad

I would consider that irrelevant to the thread at hand. Basic overworld *usually* doesn't present many obstacles performance wise, but anything more than that, and the crippling problems begin to arise quickly.

Yes, and finally, that's starting to be more widely recognized. At last.

Unplayble. Middle of the night. All but one addon off. Rivenspire. Pve.
As a 'subject' of the pvp tests, this sort of thing makes it totally unbelievable to blame players for server performance.

My computer's speed test: Ping 3. Download 899.41 Upload 483.22 New Zealand

In game shot from ESO: FPS 70 Latency 999+
FOR AN ENTIRE HOUR OF CRASHING

It's not the players, and it never has been- generally speaking, of course. Whoever thinks otherwise is kidding himself. I too, have very respectable internet and an xbox 1S plugged directly into the modem, and performance has been outrageous on and off for years now, although it's become noticeably worse this year overall. I just want to be able to get into my house at least

Performance sucks in overland too but crashing is very rare in for me. Of course for overland being as easy as it is having to pray Sithis for skills/bar swaps is mostly just an annoyance but can be crippling in world boss fights with few random questers. (I can solo easy normal dungeon but have not yet soloed the few wb I've tried with my current new char, still levelling skills.)

I'd expect consoles crashing in housing be related to memory use/abuse. Because PC and 16G, never had a problem.

Except the houses I crash in are sometimes all but empty, so no.

Dysturbed

Crashed 3 times to day my gaming partner twice. Seems almost every day nowm. PCNA

DarcyMardin

PC NA here — I too crash multiple times a day, in varied situations (no clear pattern). No problems with internet or other programs — just ESO.

SydneyGrey

I've never crashed in my player homes, so apparently this crashing isn't universal. Don't know what could be causing it, though.

rpa

Well, I could imagine if for example some furniture item happens to get garbled in a new client build it could start crashing "all but empty" houses with that item placed for some particular platform. If the cause is something like that, good luck finding it.

Dysturbed

wow 7 crashes in less then an hour tonight

Dysturbed

all my crashes tonight happened in 2 different houses

Starlight_Whisper

Definitely, have been experiencing a lot of crashes recently. Crashed in craglorn just adding people to a group...

linuxlady

I have had 3 crashes in a dungeon. The two dps chose not to boot me but I missed the last boss fight in moon grave fane.

Even while doily daily crafting I have to /reloadui
