Event making game unplayable.

AWinterWolf

As the title suggests, the undaunted event and the free to play event is making the game unplayable. My ping is unstable, I crash constantly and I cannot complete content when the game is a mess.

In case anyone asks.

No, I'm not running excessive amounts of addons, (three to be exact.)
No, no reported issues with my internet connection.
No, no issues with my PC.
No, no previous issues with the game pre Markarth patch.

@DarcyMardin and I duoed a couple of dungeons. No unusual problems; just one of the freeze/crashes she's been having for months.

Just to add, in Auridon, I usually get 90 ping at this time of night. I got 250+ ping. In trials, I'm usually at 90 ping, I got 700+. The game is unplayable, whether I just run around on my horse or do a trial.

Actually, for me the crashing has been a lot worse recently. And I crashed at least once this morning before you and I grouped for the dungeons. Yesterday I crashed 6 or 7 times, doing various things — no clear pattern.

The game is broken, IMO, but whether the event has made things worse, I can’t say yet.

@DarcyMardin Thank you for your insight.

The timing feels like it's due to a recent patch, not to the event being switched on.

I hope that turns out to be accurate ...

Time to Pivot to Next-Gen Technology

Demon's Souls remake for PS5 looks amazing.
Cannot wait for God of War Ragnorak.
Wondering what kind of games will be made for the new Apple M1 chips.
Apple makes great hardware and software. I am a fan.

We have to recognize that ESO is too "old, large and complex" and a "burden on software developers like ZOS" to port to new architecture, new CPU.

Probably not the undaunted but the f2p event causing some an issue

Crashed last boss vCoH II - shouldn’t have been surprised I guess:)

I was out of time so no event box for me. Hope the group eventually cleared.

Isn't it hilarious that the first pledge during the event is one that they know causes these crashes?

renne

vCoH2 isn't a known crasher though (like as in consistantly major issues, they all crash these days)? It's WR2, FL and SCP.

You shouldnt have to defend yourself ....eso needs to get fixed and we the players are not responsible...its not your fault, its nothing you are doing wrong.

I do need to say i play most days with 230 to 250 ping....im in australia 😣😢

zvavi

i queued today for vCoS. dungeon finder threw me into vFG2.
other than that... the usual stuck in combat, need to relog to be able to swap bars, dungeon finder not working with full groups, etc etc

well, on the positive note, i did not crash today.

Can’t talk about other games in a positive manner on these forums, alas. But yeah, agree with what you’re saying. Time to rebuild ESO from the ground up and release ESO 2. Slapping bandaids onto the old spaghetti code isn’t working.

Spent 33 minutes in the queue for a random to try to get my transmutes and a box for the day. Eventually gave up and loges into a toon that still had BC1 open from yesterday. 10 min in and out solo. Could really use those transmutes though. I hate that all these rewards are locked behind queues.

The_kruguers

It’s been 1 month or so that we can’t play the game and they are working to fix it! Maybe we get to play it on ps6 or 7! As if the game was free to play I’d understand but hell no.

Man, one entire month it’s just unbelievable.

Yet they put in the event that you actually have to try the content that is most broken - dungeons. So yes that’s stupid.

Ah yes yet they want NEW people to try the game for free now, who’s going to pay for it later. I mean, I am not an expect or anything but sounds like a bad idea hahah.

Enough is enough, good luck guys, happy blue screen farm.

Wow they're doing FTP *now*?

And *before* the next incremental scheduled for the 7th on PC, 9th on Console?

Seems really, really bad timing. Not only for exacerbating current performance problems, but giving newbies an extra-bad impression during a trial that *ends* right on the 9th before (more of) the problems are to be fixed ...

350 ping, New Zealand. I feel your pain.

@wishlist14 Thanks, I'm too used to, 'maybe it's a you problem. It isn't 90% of the time.

WeerW3ir

I told you. I have felt it 🤪

Queue as fake tank and you get in instantly. If you're afraid to get dlc one then make sure you have 1 lowbie in group.
DDs are their own worst enemies. Lots of people, all levels sit in long queues. Just ask in zone or guild for someone below lvl45. Theres tons of them in queue waiting dame as you. They dont even care if you gonna fake tank, they wanna level their toon and you'll do them a favor. I get 40-50 crystals every day just in 30 min.

HappyElephant

@Fennwitty You are exactly right.
ZOS has no one but themselves to blame for the game's demise.

I just ran 6 vet dungeons back to back through the Group Finder without a single problem.

Not saying there's nothing wrong with the game... just that there's very little wrong with my experiences with the game.

ymmv of course.

I've been having issues too. Game has been freezing up (cost me a dungeon run today) and the game is running noticeably slower. A couple of times I was beginning to wonder if the NPCs would ever load in.

Raideen

Game is running slower, outside of the crashes, frozen abilites etc. I was riding up to my GF yesterday and her character was like a flat grey texture.

BXR_Lonestar

Had no problems running dungeons last night, but it was definitely having problems when I would log out to switch characters or interact with a merchant to repair armor. Constant freezes, unending loading screens, etc. when I tried to do either of those things. However, I've been having problems playing other online games too, so I chalked it up to Xbox Live problems and more people being on because of the pandemic.
