Stuck on Cyrodiil load screen

    Its primarily an issue that occurrs when the selected server is full. Sometimes it's resolved by just restarting the client and trying again. Sometimes however you will get the loadingscreen 10 times in a row and it's impossible to get back in.

    As I said, this does not occur when the server is not full for me anymore. It did before I think but it still happends when the server is full.

    I would imagine something like this happends:

    1. Server quees you
    2. Server recognices theres a spot
    3. Server gives you 60 seconds to join
    4. While loading in 60 seconds pass
    5. Server locks you out
    6. Stuck on loadingscreen

    I've had if happen at 4am before. It happened this afternoon for me when PVP wasn't close to full. That said, it definitely seems to happen more frequently at peak times.

    Ok, thanks everyone. We've passed along your comments and are actively investigating this issue. We'll let you know if we have any other questions for you!

    Why did this take a month+ to get a response? We have been shouting about this since beta, not a bloody word.

    Try going into PVP, if you get loading screen press Alt+F4 to close Elder Scrolls, reload, try again. 2nd or 3rd time you should get in. It's been like this since launch.

    Alt f4 doesn't always work but even then why should we have to do this.

    It's plain awful. Very frustrating. At best, I can get an entire hour on without much trouble during low volume times solo. Even still, that's crashing far too often.

    Today, on Wabbajack, with PvP zones full I grouped up for a big session. Within 30 minutes, first crash. Then impossible to get back into the zone with the load screen stuck.

    Multiple times logging in, it simply hangs.

    Logged on an alt, and that seems to clear it. Then logged back in on my main. I'd been booted from the PvP zone and I had to get in queue to join again. It remembered that I was grouped, which was good.

    When I finally got in, I started to rejoin my raid and just as I approached them, the client crashed again.

    Trying to load in again fails with the screen hung on loading.

    Forced to quit. The issue almost certainly is linked to grouping. Most of the time I'm solo and dont' have the same persistant issues.

    I have a range of plugins. If it's a plugin issue, please advise which ones to disable.

    I can't believe this is still so unstable. Yes, it was like this in Beta. Very unfortunate that it is still like this as it really detracts from the enjoyment of the game.

    Same here cant even login.... a persistent problem since beta
  • mstout7419b14_ESO
    Finally get into the game, and as soon as I try to travel, back to the loading screen.... Cant wait for AA to release, so sick of my entire Eso gaming experience being login, alt+f4, rinse and repeat, til time to call it the night

    Yup just like so many other bugs also...Zeni doesn't car about PvP that much or they would have fixed it eight months ago. And maybe not give the PvE'rs unfair advantage to be able to level, we just have to suffer for now until they stop caring about short term profits...I will be fine not paying for a Sub for a sub-standard MMO, when it goes FtP.

    That's why there are only a couple decent servers left...just a shame.

    Edit:This loading screen bug only effects many when they group in Cyrodiil...and Zenimax has refused to give any sort of estimate on when it might possibly will be fixed, seems more like they have been trying to hide the issue instead of being honest with their paying customers! Maybe it just has to due with the Mega-Server concept and there is no fix at all, that's why they wont really talk about it.

    I see there battle with goldsellers/bots is going well also...pretty clever trying to disguise that mail as mats from my hireling. I report anything I get and maybe one day it will seem like it has an effect.

    If you load for over 5 minutes your probably never going to get through even if you let it load for a year.
    I let it load for 1 hour myself before just to see if anything would happen, and it dident.

    Oh yeah five minutes was my cut off line for a while...but now I just switch games after the first time because will most likely happen a lot more than once and just becomes a pain. Or when I get randomly DC'd from Cyrodiil I just wont bother loading up because you were hit with the "BUG" got my diagnoses from DR. Mantis Toboggan
    (Just thought it was a funny joke and not implying anything else but there are bugs for the loading screen issue)

    Dont know if you guys tried this, but it have helped me and guild members, none of us got stuck so far again after it.

    Open the ZO_Ingame.lua and delete all content in it, close it down do not delete the file itself. Now rightclick it and make it writeprotected so the game cant write to the file.

    Hey guys - for anyone still getting long loading screens, can you let us know if you're using any add-ons?

    Hello Gina, I had the infinite loading screen today 2x (actually: I tried to enter cyrodiil 2x but had to close the client because of this bug, then I gave up).

    I am not using any addons. I was in queue and after I was permited to enter cyrodiil, I right clicked on the campaign for travel. After that endless loading...

    Yeesh, how is something like this not fixed yet? PvP can be half the game for many players.

    If I even bring this up to my brother who loves to PvP, he instantly rages about it. I can see why constant infinite loading screens would completely kill the urge to play.

    PvP is the whole game to many players...which is why we also get mad that we are forced to PvE to be able to level properly. Most MMO's give players a viable option to level equally in both aspects of the game.

    But now we just have these almost invincible V10's out there who think they are good while spamming lightning Spear...you guys are so talented ;)

    The best part about getting the infinite loading screen when trying to get into Cyrodiil is the 20 min queue time. I like that part the most.

    Seriously though, how to get there? Restarted the client 3 times already.

    Did you try to group in Cyrodiil? That can cause your game to bug of for a while...I haven't been able to group for three weeks or else strange things happen to me....if I don't not as bad, but sucks for an MMO.

    Of course Zeni will ask you fruit-loop questions while they try to hide true answer...been going on for eight months now!

    Never ending loading screen...and non-functioning action bars are just to mention a few, still never a single straight answer. Just seemed like the escalated customer support tried to hide it...would love an official answer since you super secret team has been working on it for weeks!k4ro8pyxx0my.jpg

    P.S. was never mentioned in last e-mail and have proof!

    You've been linking this same image all over your posts but it never shows what the original topic of the e-mail was and it clearly says what to do if the issues is not resolved.

    As for grouping in Cyrodiil I've never had any issues with it but most of the issues I have run into are from bad addons or out of date addons. Might want to take a look at those.

    Well if you don't have issues why do people continue to harass me over the subject...this is proof of the problem, it has been around since launch...and what I heard from closed beta members after the game was released...happened for 8 months in beta also...I have just been trying to get a single answer since before launch only because I only PvP.

    You can also look at the date regardless of this issue being brought up almost a year ago...I still want VIABLE PvP in the MMO I payed for since they advertised it....or does consumer affairs mean anything for Americans that pay these Hungry, Hungry...Hippos that just try to steal our money, and move on?
