6 weeks and still the infinite loading screen bug for pvp is with us

Columba

What gives? This is really embarassing and shoddy coding on your part. The only part of the game many of us like and we have to try 20 times a night to enter.

What an embarassment. Can you at least tell us what you are doing about it?

I've haven't run into that issue since the 2nd week. It sucks that you are still having that problem, but using the term "us" is a little exaggerated. Have you considered that the problem could be on your end? (client side)

I have no problem getting in to AvA all week. I was just in there last night.
We had 3 full groups going no one had problems.

Ok? What does that have anything to do with the OP still having these issues?

The word 'us' was used in the context of some people liking PvP. I think it's safe to say that more than one person plays that at any given time. I get that you were trying to look smart by placing the blame for this issue on the OP, however poor coding is purely Zenimax' fault.

This is still happening. Gina from Zenimax posted in the very long topic about it that they're investigating.

It primarily happens on high population campaigns at peak times.

Umm, well given that my entire guild, which is geographically dispersed, has is problem, it's not just I. Secondly, they admitted that there is a problem. Finally, not its not a client side issue, you can be certain of that.

I do not experience this problem often, can't say I have since BETA.
But if it is the same as it was in BETA, I was able to recreate the infinite loading screen problem.

Here is how I did it.
1. Enter Cyrodiil
2. Join a large party, the larger the better
3. You need to disconnect, but you need to disconnect due to their server, it cannot be pulling the cable out or anything like that, you need to be booted out.
4. As long as you are in that group you will be unable to reconnect.

So for those of you who want to help out fixing this problem, when you have a member of your party offline, and have been offline for a while. Kick them, you can always re-invite them.

Unless I am wrong I believe the issue is the amount of information being sent is bottlenecking somewhere, which causes a disconnect, then when you log in again that information bundled up waiting for you. Which in turn messes with the coding, resulting in the 'infinite' loading screen. Which as I believe is not actually loading, hence why it never finishes!

If I am wrong however, I would love to hear some input.
I do so like to analyze the issues and attempt to re-create them, its like having fun playing with the game box.

Here's how I recreate the problem: load game. Go to Cyrodiil. 50% chance game will hang forever at loading screen. There's many very long threads on this, the issue just hasn't been fixed.
