Character Becomes Unresponsive

lordxyrax_ESO

I am experiencing this as well.

Saerydoth

This happened to me twice today, and today was the first time I ever had this. Anyway, the first time, I died because I couldn't use any abilities, when I resurrected I was fine.

The second time I was in a situation where there was an NPC healing me so I couldn't die...so I just ran around for about 30 seconds, then everything "caught up" and I could use abilities again. I'm assuming it was lag.

I experienced this regularly (on a dual wield toon)... when I used the 1st person perspective... after I switched to having the camera behind me, and not in fps mode... the problem went away. I'm wondering if others have had the same result?

I don't have that problem on non duelists, using the same computer/network using first person view, or camera trailing. They just don't lock up like my dual wielder does.

this has been happening to me for the last two days and has caused a few deaths for me.

This happens a lot lately, very frustrating. "glad" im not the only one

Endolith

Hit ESC twice and it will fix it. Not an ideal solution but one that can be done quickly enough in combat until they fix this.

Is there a real bug report forum for this game? Because obviously ingame and in-forum customer support doesn't seem to exist.

Try /bug

Happens to me too and yes, it sucks. There seems to be 2 different "levels" of this.

Sometimes my keys are just unresponsive and I have to hit 1 or 2 or whatever a few times before the skill will fire off, even though I'm not stunned or cc'ed in any way. This may just be unusual lag maybe.

The other, worse, situation is where nothing works at all and I have to hit the Esc key a couple of times just to get things working again.

It seems that for soms reason, blocking does work. At least the animation does.

bathynomusESO

Same issue here. Unplayable.

Kaarchi

Same issue on a dual wielding Nightblade. Hope they fix it! Will try the ESC method. Not enjoying dying when previously I was a stealthy assassin.

Moiskormoimi

Destructive touch in the V2 Grahtwood area become terribly unresponsive. I get combat lag a lot in that area as well, along with a lot of coding bugs that shouldn't be there.

Duckfather

I get this occasionally as well.

It's worth noting that sometimes, it can be because you are stunned, and the right mouse / left mouse buttons combo will break it and return control to you. There doesn't seem to be any reliably visible indicator of when you are stunned.

Having said that, sometimes it's not this, and I have to do the old esc x 2 to get movement back

SilverWF

Sometimes I have the same bug too
Also, I've expecting issue with unable to move my character without any visible reasons.
He is just stucks at place, he can use skills, but can't moving. I think it happens when I'm pressing to my skills too fast.

I only get this on my Templar, but it's getting very annoying. Randomly when fighting the character will be stuck wielding the spear from the Puncturing Strikes ability (instead of reverting to the resto staff as would be expected), be walking extremely slowly and unable to use abilities or interact with objects or NPCs (so you have to wait before you can loot or speak with a quest NPC for instance). This eventually wears off, but it takes a very long time. I've found that /reloadui fixes it, but I really don't think I should be using it during every battle...

rickb16_ESO9

I noticed that playing windowed, reduces this problem.

Tedane

I have tried using the esc method and bags and im having no luck ,its got to the point this is happening every ten minutes or so the only thing that works is actually relogging but as this normally happens in combat i end up dieing first

I've even had the "second level" of this bug in town, when I couldn't even move in any direction or press Escape key or anything. I could see people running by me and the chat window continued to work as well, so wasn't any kind of lag...unless it was simply the server refusing to "listen" to me. After about 20 seconds the horse I was on suddenly spun around a bit, like the various movement keys I had tried to use 15 seconds earlier had all suddenly been accepted by the server.

Arsenic_Touch

This has been happening to me since like the beta testing, haha.
