Login restart not working this last time.

conaninja

Yeah the same problems. Yesterday a restart sorted it today I can't get in. Doesn't even try to load....

Morgaledh

Same here, can't log in. "Unexpected internal error has occurred. Please contact customer service." PCNA. Zenithar broke the server!

gwdodd

Well? Good to know I'm not alone.
Restarted pc with same issue. Server authentication doesn't even think about it before giving the error.
It was fine the day before.

Surely this is a server side issue so restarting should have nothing to do with it.

Unless it's a launcher malfunction...

Theres been no patch pushed and login was fine earlier. It would be impossible for the launcher to randomly break on this scale with no update.

I cant log in now either. I could login yesterday no problem. Damn it i was looking forward to this event.

Lauranae

I was logged in after reparing, excluding AGAIN from antivirus, restarting computer, but then i had to take care of my kitty, game logged me out, and now i can not log in again

Error 201.

And the event just started .....

If I counted all the times this kind of avoidable incompetence occurred throughout the course of a year, it adds up to just under three dollars of paid time lost. Multiply that by the number of paid subscriptions...

Timorelle

Heh, most people bummed about not being able to start the event and I'm over here all "But... but... I was supposed to get Sereyne; she's the last thing I need to finish the house that I've been working on for five months....."

It's all good! I'm sure the issues will be sorted soon enough; ZOS is usually quite good about that. Just wanted to play-whimper a bit, hehe.

Just tried it again but this time it didn't work, I am a sad panda.

However EU worked. I found that altho I could get in to EU when I left the login fail sign was up. As if it had tried to stop me from entering but was very slow.

Event? I'm like; but.....writs..

Impossible? Wouldn't say that. But I will say looking up the 201 error, ESO says on their support pages it's a server side issue and/or the connection between client and server is somehow broken (which would include the launcher not sending appropriate info).

Hmmm... Is it standard to have to select a REALM now? As there is only one, it's rather funny. For now, can't login, it takes ages at connecting to NA Megaserver

What do you mean by "realm"? Each platform has two regional megaservers, EU and NA. You can choose between them. PC EU currently logs in ok, PC NA doesn't.

KiltMaster

Ok but the streamers are all able to get in the game and stream the new event. Funny how that works! Can I get the servers they're playing on, please?

kindred

Login fail on event day? Why are there always problems when there is an event? I mean like every time. Its really starting to *** me off. C'mon zos get it together please.

Sometimes when the servers are funky you will see each megaserver having multiple servers.

the other strange thing that has started happening again (overnight) is I must bring up task manager to end the eso process when quitting the game.
It's been fine since the last update.
I have IT background and I understand this stuff isn't easy but...sheesh.

Jaclynn

Tried the restart. Didn't work.


tap... tap... tap...

Apparently the servers don't have enough zeal.

Unfortunately, for me, it's been that way for a while. I click on "QUIT" and the program just hangs and doesn't respond. In this case, it could be a Windows issue not closing the program appropriately. You'd think Windows would be "smart" and "intelligent" enough to offer a choice to force close a program after several attempts. I mean, this is a known problem with Windows that spans decades. You can end process, but why do I have to repeatedly do that every...single.......time.

I can log in to EU fine, but I don't play on EU. NA just instantly gives a log in failed message.

xXSilverDragonXx

Sure hope it doesn't take a day to sort out.

Etny2k

I got booted from server message and now cannot get back in.

gwdodd

Thanks for the feedback @EmEm_Oh
I keep my pc running pretty clean with minimal software installed and I did a complete windows 10 reinstall on a new hard drive a couple months ago.
And despite being a geek with IT background I certainly don't tinker with the system. I only want it to work.
I did an ESO "Repair" about a month ago which yielded the same hang on game closure.
I pretty much refuse to accept the problem is on my end.
Thanks for reading.

adirondack

Can't log in either. PC-NA. Thumbs-up, ZOS.

Kiralyn2000

PC NA Error 201.

Didn't even know the event was starting, just logging in to do some Endeavors.

That's not windows' responsibility. ESO does not properly release resources - they are undoubtedly not properly handling WM_CLOSE message from OS.

Yes, I had that as well this morning.

gwdodd

Currently, at least task manager can end the process.
For a couple weeks before the last update I had to restart the pc to end the process.

Zenifarrrrrrr from being able to log in.
Zeinfarrrr *cough*

Responsibility versus CHOICES. I want a CHOICE to FORCE CLOSE an app automatically when it Windows says it cannot. Why doesn't Windows offer that CHOICE. Like I said, I have to repeatedly go into TM and "end process". It's tedious and MS should have offered an easy solution to fix the "Not Responding" message for the same...app...being....close.

This is a Windows problem, and I've experienced it for decades with multiple operating systems, like I said in another post. You'd think MS would have offered a solution to their "Professional" OS releases.

Simple idea...

Right-click on process, two choices come up in the Compatibility menu or wherever. 1, continue as normal, 2, force-close this process when Windows cannot initially close it normally.

That's it.
