Log In Troubles

Immortal_Wombat · June 2014

Often when an update occurs, I can, fact log in. However, the music that occupies the loading screen that precedes character selection will stop and play again various times and it will be stuck on the loading screen endlessly. I often just press ctrl-alt-delete, sign out, sign back in, then try again until it works, and this often solves the issue. However, I recently noticed that the number of time I have to use my little trick increasingly grows. I realize this is not as important as some of the others considering it has a solution --- I'd even call it an annoyance rather than a bug --- but I'd be pleased if somebody notified me of a quicker solution towards this, or at least if a developer took note and fixed it in an upcoming patch.

My Thanks,
The Wombat of Immortality

Hey there, @Immortal_Wombat. How long to you typically wait before closing ESO and trying to relog?

I often wait until the violins play after the part in the music that has the same tune somewhere in recent elder scrolls theme songs because that's typically where the music turning on and off ends.

Sometimes logging in can take up to 15 or 20 minutes, particularly after a patch. Even if the music is cutting in and out, we recommend hanging tight, as you should pop through to the character select screen. If it's been 15-20 minutes and you're still loading, we recommend contacting our Support Team for specific troubleshooting advice.

And what to do when after getting to character screen, selecting him and then when it should load into game you get stuck on the loading screen, or get unknown error? I`m getting that a lot since yesterday.

I'm having this too, Alt+Ctrl+Del three times now. Still waiting for it to load my characters, will see what happens after 20 mins or so.

EDIT: Took about 10 minutes.

You have to wait between 10-15 minutes after each patch for first time loading in.

Zenimax need to address this as I'm guessing a lot of people just presume the game is broken.

I start the Launcher "Bethesda.net_Launcher.exe" but it sits on "Loading..." forever. When looking at the file "host.developer.txt" which seems to be logging the progress of whatever is happening in the back I see it keeps repeating these two lines of text: "Start file [E:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\Launcher\ProgramData\Host.d2e09eeebd5ee83a6ce77a5690547c4008351c45\061b8d0af8fa3d892fdc9723a00d5d6ccff18f5a.patchmanifest.partial] [S:0k] [E:0k] [P:0k]
Checking manifest (E:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\Launcher\ProgramData\Host.d2e09eeebd5ee83a6ce77a5690547c4008351c45\061b8d0af8fa3d892fdc9723a00d5d6ccff18f5a.patchmanifest) (31 to 31)" and it keeps repeating these - it has spent the last 3 hours just doing this, definitely not very entertaining.
Please help.

This! I feel your pain as it was my own. Wait...it is my own.
