4 crashes in 5 minutes since servers opened from new patch

I can literally take like five steps and.....crash.

I usually don't complain. I get it, unexpected things happen. But, some things are just unacceptable.

I know, they are two different games. But if this was WoW, Blizz would be on it asap and have a solution very fast.
But one could say they got more to lose with a larger player base, more unhappy customers which is bad for business.

New zone, new quests, the story continues. Yah sure, I'll go to Galen. When ESO stops crashing......

This is very bad for business as well, but some in management clearly don't know or don't care.

Even if they are pursuing "the next big thing" ignoring things like this does not seem like a good business strategy!

It concerns me that they decided to use the maintenance time to resolve and look at account issues yet when it comes to game/server maintenance it's pretty much "none."

"Maintenance for the week of November 7:
• [COMPLETE] ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – November 7, 6:00AM EST (11:00 UTC) - 4:00PM EST (21:00 UTC)"

Is what they chose to do... No point in sorting that out if said users can't even use the game..

SO glad that I didn't purchase a new subscription after months away...

I couldn't open one of my characters, constantly crashing. Decide to disable some mods, and only after Master merchant and Minimap Frykin was able to get in. I can't say which one had an impact, but just information.

The old Fyrakin minimap isn't optimal at all. Try Masteroshi's redo here (it's active and working fine for me):

I went ahead and canceled ESO Plus because this is ridiculous.

I reinstalled _all_ my drivers and tried a clean install and nothing, so although I didn't have an AddOn of any sort it still crashed. Anyway, here's my specs in case these help the fix along


Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400H @ 2.70GHz 2.69 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
GPU Nvidia RTX 3060, 8GB

All drivers current as of 9pm, 11/7/2022.

Turning off the new Limit Followers in Towns option (along with node detection addon being deactivated) has drastically reduced the game crashing for me.

Interesting... I wasn't aware that disabling "Limit Followers in Towns" would help. That thing doesn't even work, I continue to see pets everywhere in all towns. I'm going to try disabling because I continue crashing a lot in towns and starting dungeons.

Some suggestions which may help you, try them one by one so you can see which was the cause of your crashes, just in case one works.
Make sure to repair your gamefiles, just to rule out any corrupt files causing your crashes. Try turning off the AA graphics setting, as Nvidia GPU's often have issues with AA. If that doesn't work try lowering your other graphics settings as one of them may cause the crashes, and try turning some of the graphics settings completely off(one-by-one). The graphics settings with a warning triangle before them, are the heaviest settings, try lowering those first.

Hope this helps, as you didn't give much other info to go on. (You can always turn your settings up again, after you found the crash issue.)

Its Friday night and I'd been looking forward to having a go at Firesong this weekend. But the game without Add-ons is not that enjoyable. I tried switching them back on, with the plan that once I'm logged in I could disable most and just have a couple, but I can't even get into the game when they are on. I'm an ESO+ subscriber but I'm literally going on, getting my daily reward and leaving each day. Not happy.

I am still not clear why they cannot update the NodeDetection problem for so long, but I have run with just that disabled recently and it does seem stable.

It was crashing several days prior when trying that, so something did change.

HarvestMap is a bit annoying without that, but it is better than not having it at all. (It is one of the driving reasons I moved to the PC from the PS4.)

So my prior complaint about disabling NodeDetection does not seem to be accurate anymore.

That said, I am still not clear why they couldn't release a patch for non Stadia users that fixed the NodeDetection crash....

Just updating that since I turned off the new "Limit Followers in Towns" I didn't have any crash. I was having crashes constantly on towns in all characters and now I've been playing since yesterday without any crash.

Thanks a lot for the tip. Zos should be alerting all to disable it. I hope it solves the problem for more players.

Turning off "Limit followers in towns" is written here on the red banner.
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/620800/

I running about 40+ addons and I turned off only NodeDetection Library and EasyStalking for recording trial and vet dungeon runs because /encounterlog causing crashes too.
I don't use "Limit Followers in Towns".
Sooo no crash since i turned this off (that was second day after patch).
And for note I using minimap from Bandits UI.

Good evening

I turned off all add-ons/libraries at the character screen and it seems fine now, no more crashes.
Turning them off once in game did not work.

Turning off adons do help, but I can not even do it on all characters, because on some of them I can not even log in before crush happens )))

But do not worry, it is just new optimization Less players playing - less server load, less lags

But it is strange that less players but game lags like it is times when steam show 20k players in game, but current steam players charts show 13k

Pyr0xyrecuprotite

The main cause of sudden game crashes (on PC) was the "Nodedetection" library - disabling that was sufficient to allow you to play after Firesong launch.

Does anyone know if the November 14 PC patch has now fixed the game so that the game is stable if that library is re-enabled? The patch notes indicate that SOMETHING was fixed, but they referred to "map addons" specifically, rather than just that library.

for me no error 334 Lobby atm
but non stop error
Unable to connect to game server make sure you have a valid in
internet connection
when trying to port to another region or dungeon.
If i try more than 1 time without restarting game and clear the launcher gamedata file content
I get a bleu screen error Netio.sys no less not equal with and a memory dump of 1.4 -1.5 gb.

Funny part i happens only on the EU server , I play on the NA server too without any of the above problems ...

You can disable addons on the character selection screen.

Fyi, I enabled NodeDetection library after the patch and played a while (picking nodes and grinding antiquities for weekly endeavor, got scrying from 4 to 5 on that char and it's really really slow - whoever designed antiquities progression should be tasked to clean the office floor with a toothbrush for 9 or 18 times) with no crashes.

So it is working now?

All I know I had no crashes with NodeDetection lib enabled and functioning properly for HarvestMap addon. Before patch, same char would crash within 30s with NodeDetection enabled. I have not tested other fixes.

After some days without crashing, after yesterday’s patch I started CTDing again after 10 minutes or so in the game, with the same error box message, even while being idle, every addon disabled.
Sometimes there’s a black screen with no message, and some other times there’s a whole PC restart.
Previously sent ticket about the same issue went unanswered after being ‘escalated’.
