    100% not related with ram, it doesnt make sense the same issue happen on all platforms.
    Pretty sure its multiple bugs, one is related to liches and similar.
    you have the freeze on spindle 1 last boss.
    3 in group froze only I was not affected. Did not notice, it was normal so boss was almost down, just remember I healed quite a bit, then burned the boss then realized it was an problem. I did not block during the white screen.
    This was before the patch so not sure if fixed.
    Looks like stability overall is lower but this has not affected me overland, in Cyrodil or other dungeons.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    like i said in a response to someone on this post, i have had my task manager open since this began and noticed high memory usage and gpu spikes, maybe turn down settings to minium may help

    BGs crashes non stop. 9 out of 10 matches so far have crashed in BG.

    And none of this started until last patch.

    Every other game I have runs fine.

    Its getting a bit ridiculous.

    Wayrest II, 3 out of 4 of us crashed at the same time. Thankfully one didn't and he completed the Lich by the we loaded back in. PC/NA and it was a total freeze up. Really needs to be fixed ASAP.
    Ok so liches are not fixed in 23.11 pc update.
    Had not have any crashes since Monday but only done a few dungeons. Tuesday pledges as I remember.
    But got stuck in an infinite loading screen out of an delve in Cyrodil, had some crashes in Cyrodil over two groups. PC-EU

    After this is over and it is REALLY fixed, wouldn’t it be wonderful if the devs caused giant liches at a world boss level to randomly spawn in places like the Undaunted camps in honor of this time when they tried to escape their dungeons? 🤣

    I'm not crashing to desktop... but I am freezing and the only way to fix it is to restart the PC.

    Hapenning whenever I speak to one of the Undaunted crew and, of course, with the Lich Boss in Wayrest 2 - still getting stuck behind that door as well, right beforehand. Crouching doesn't fix it.

    Crashed alone today two times in nCloudrest. Different bosses. Game freezes and have to log out of windows/reboot computer.

    Happened last night too nCR+3. Froze two of us and locked up game. Didn't happen the second run we did.

    Can't get to task manager. Have to power or switch/sign out of windows.

    Unfortunately this is not limited to lich type bosses, as crashes are occurring randomly in overland, during dragon fights (Elsweyr), BGs, Harrowstorms, during reloadui attempts, non-lich dungeon bosses such as Sellistrix, during character loading, and many more.

    The game is more unstable than I have ever seen it in the last two years.

    Giant bugs and trolls, kind of like in the Blessed Crucible second last fight, but think dragons in difficulty :)
    Drops random gear from any dungeons including monster helms but but don't spawn often

    @ZOS_SarahHecker How can console submit reports to help? We are on a consistent crash in trials as well. We will all gladly provide any information to get this fixed ASAP

    Normally we get crash data from consoles automatically, but if there is something that is always causing you to crash (such as a specific boss or mechanic) feel free to post here or do a bug report so we can look into it further.

    VMOL this evening on Xbox eu
    First run hard mode no issues
    Second run , 20 or so Crashes / dcs in our team. Lag all over the place and the minor slayer skill for everyone kept dissapearing so
    We had to keep taking gear off and reequipping it (this affected anyone who was running minor slayer)

    Ps4 NA is awful. You cant go 8 mins without a blue screen.

    In a 2hour prog: we were not able to get through one 8min vcrhm without at least 1-2 blue screens

    When is the next fix???

    Yesterday I had three, all three were during lich boss fights (2 were Fang Lair or some new thing I hadn't done much, 1 was wayrest)
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I've experienced two different types of crashes since Markarth dropped: the crash to desktop, and the kind that freezes the system so badly that I have to force-reboot my computer. I'm unable to submit a crash report through the game either way.

    The crash to desktop has been happening in Cyrodiil (I'm trying to get Rapids back). Every single time it happens, I'm in the middle of a keep battle with players and NPC's running about. Seems the game is not liking me doing in a PVP zone exactly what the PVP zone is for. I can spend hours in Cyrodiil doing PVE daily quests with no problem (but the AP gain is soooo sloooooow), but as soon as I try for a big fast-paced battle, the game can't take it anymore and just dies.

    The hard freeze always happens during excavations, when I try to use a fully charged Heavy Shovel II. The first use of the shovel works fine, but when it tries to do the second dig, I get the hard freeze. It's like it's such a swift action animation that it breaks normally slow ESO's brain.

    I'm here now because I just got the Cyrodiil crash twice in an hour. While I'm waiting for the server to realize I'm no longer in game and let me back in, might as well relay my issues. And go eat some Thanksgiving leftovers. And maybe just play something else for a while instead because games should be fun, and I'm not having any of that at the moment with ESO constantly mucking up. :/

    PC/NA. Alliance agnostic: all factions should chill the fetch out and party together.
    If you ever wonder why certain official fandom spaces are so often toxic, remember: corruption starts from the top.
