4 crashes in 5 minutes since servers opened from new patch

BoraBora

First I thought problems axe fixed. Did writs, transfered items to the bank, played cards at different towns (daily). But when I teleported to Ston Lore Grove in High Island, the game crashed just moments after arriving. Again, no error message.

Solution (or better said a current "work arround") reading the comments my idea was to just remove the harvestmap add on the the harvestmapData addon.
So far the games works with all the others add ons I have. No clue about that NodeDetection problem, but maybe that AddOn had to do with that.

Personal thoughts: Really annoying and inconvenient problem as so far the game worked very well with Ui Add Ons (or mods or whatever you like to call them) even if outdated. In the worst case that Add On didn't work but the game still did.
And a major reason why people play the PC version is because you can use those mods.

There was a time when a patch made software of hardware work better, now it seems to be the opposite.
Regardless if you look at hardware drivers OS patches or game patches. The chance that things work worse or something gets broken is pretty big.
IDK if the developers work in such a hurry that those issues happen more often then they did some years ago, or that the companies don't want to "waste" time ane money on testing.
Because the impression is that the paying customers became the "Beta tester".

I have no add ons ever downloaded for the game and I crash non stop

My crashes seem to be character dependent. Two of my characters (Cognac Vinecroft and Brendalyn Jurarde) crash every time that I try to log on with them. Another character crashed after I'd logged on when I tried to move toward the stables at Davon's Watch. PC/EU.

Game just closes suddenly with no error message.

However, I managed to do the daily writs in Vivec, even switching characters. When I go to an open area, the crashes are itemized.

Is this with the NodeDetection library disabled?

ZOS_GinaBruno thanks for the update but I can't disable my add-ons as I can't get past the character select screen! Both EU and NA servers. I'm going to miss out on my daily rewards...

Magrat

Pah - found add-ons on character screen and disabled them and got in - thank you!

Moith

Can't stay in Cyrodiil no cp for more the 30 seconds before the game crashes to desktop

No, but I just deactivated it after your message and apparently the crashes stopped...

Thanks!

If you cannot disable addons because you cannot get to character loading screen, you can open the folder in which the addons are kept and drag those addons out of the folder before starting the game.

The folders are, (in windows machines, regular install), in the Documents folder:

They are named by default:
Elder Scrolls Online
--- Live
--- --- AddOns (this is where addons are kept, open this folder and drag out the addons that you want out)
--- --- SavedVariables (this is where variables for addons are kept and I do not know if these also must be dragged out)

Same issue. Game crashes immediately once load in starts. Game is completely unplayable since patch v8.2.5

PC NA Server

This solution about addons is not working, so i can tell, that issue not only because addons, this is really global.
I deleted everything, i did repair, i tried every point from official thread, but nothing, still error, when i start the game before even LOG-in.

This is how I got the node detection file out of the picture. Before even opening the game I pulled the folder out of the harvest map add on folder then tried booting up the game. I didn't crash, but didn't play much either. I just did the daily endeavors and writs on one toon.

To be honest this latest debacle has been another major hit to my motivation to play ESO.

AzuraFan

I just crashed to desktop with no error message. I have no addons. I was talking to a certain eye of the Queen cat in Vastyr when I was unceremoniously dumped back to Windows. Was it something I said?

merevie

Just got on -crashing just loading characters, disabled addons still crashing.
How...is it this bad?
We're trying to get people back into the game and this is what the company ran untested?

noice!

I logged in. Tried to travel to Glenumbra and instant CTD. Came here to find info and found that the forums are being cracked down upon because priorities.

ETA: Logged in after posting and instant CTD before load in.

morrowjen

Got excited because log in worked. Didn't get to do anything though bc yet another CTD.

I can't even load the game up. it crashes mere seconds after I press play.

Yesterday I found what causes crashes for me.

Before, I was unable to even reach the character selection, the game was crashing after a few seconds, without touching to anything.
Tried with or without addons (by moving my Addons folder manually)

I even tried to remove ReShade but crashes still happened after few seconds.

I found the solution here : https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/7743145#Comment_7743145

After closing Process Hacker (on Win10), everything is running fine, even with ReShade and all my addons (I do not use Harvest map nor Node detection). I didn't try new zones, I stayed in Glenumbra.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Kevin You 'd better also investigate for software incompatibilities, it seams to be one of the problem for early crashes without error messages on Win 10.

Amazing. How did you managed it? Process hacker was the reason for me as well. But question is, how do we supposed to know about it?

For those saying they cannot disable addons because they cannot get past character select - on the character selection screen, left side, you can select addons and choose which ones to enable or disable account wide.

Many people are crashing before character selection. So moving addons folder is the only way to disable addons. But IMO, if a crash happened so early before character selection, it is probably not related to addons.

Kerres

crashing for me as well, doesn't matter addons or without them

Jaraal

Still can't ride more than 100 yards in The Deadlands before crashing.

Brunlea

Just adding that i've no addons installed and the game crashes on launch back to desktop with no error messages. I can't get to character select screen.

SteamKitten01

I've disabled node detection and harvest map and everything was working fine for me with no crashes. However last night I was doing the Galen main quest and every 5-10 minutes the game was crashing to desktop.

I had no crashes in the 1-2 hours before that when I was doing Galen dailies with a friend and other things. It was only when I went back to the main quest that the crashes started up.

For me it was also the same behaviour.
My problem was Process Hacker. (see here : https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/7743145#Comment_7743145)
If Process Hacker is now a problem, maybe other softwares could causes crashes too.

However last night I was doing the Galen main quest and every 5-10 minutes the game was crashing to desktop.

New zones seems to be highly unstable, avoid these areas and it will probably be fine.

Still crashing. Also noticed it keeps resetting my graphics settings whenever I try to lower them. Dunno it anyone else encountered that problem?
