On character creation screen the menu/class/races text is visible, but the rest of the screen is completly black. I updated my video drivers and nothing changed. Tries changing resolution and video options but screen is still completly black. Any help?

    #1. Admin mode
    Right click the ESO launcher icon
    Click Run as Administrator

    #2. Make sure your drivers are up-to-date
    Look at your DxDiag, are your drivers from 2012 or before? Yes? Then they need to be updated.

    #3. Make sure that the latest version of DirectX is installed on your system

    I've done all this and then some. The problem has gotten significantly worse for me the past 2 days. Today I'm getting it every 5 minutes making the game unplayable. I've tried everything I could find on the issue to no avail, and there has been no official word from Zenimax yet. At least acknowledge the problem..

    #5. Adjusting the Screen Resolution in the UserSettings File.
    The default location of this file is Users*USERNAME*My DocumentsElder Scrolls OnlineliveUserSettings.

    #6. Try to delete the ShaderCache.cooked file
    The default location for the file is C:Users*USERNAME*My DocumentsElder Scrolls Onlinelive.

    After that file is deleted, run the game as administrator, and it will recompile that file.
