NPC/Players do not appear on my screen

CygnusKnight · March 2014

Anyone else having this as well?

I had no problems with ESO until now.
Whenever I enter a house or cave, the enemies do not appear.
However, there is collision detection. I can hover over the enemy (which is invisible) and I can see their name.

Example:

7PSUA

And when I do /reloadui

7PSV9

So, what to do?
Or will it magically be solved in the future?

Oh another example, players are now also gone for me:

So, it fixes when you reloadui?

Yes, and until then, whenever I enter a certain area I won't be able to see anything.
I always have to do /reloadui. Even while I am in the same map.

I just did the mage guild quest, and I have to kill 4 waves of monsters. After the first wave the second wave came in, I randomly died because I couldn't see the new monsters. I had to /reloadui every time.

That's just... odd.
I won't pretend to know exactly what is happening, it could just be a server side launch bug, who knows.
If you haven't already, relogin. If that didn't work, restart ESO and relogin. If that didn't work, restart your computer and relogin. If that didn't work, use your launcher's repair function.

If none of those work, then, erm, contact ZOS. I'm sure the issue will fix eventually.

Great. Did the repair fix it, or was it something else?

Sorry for the late reply, I simply relogged and it was solved.

Having same problem and none of the suggested actions keep it fixed for any length of time.

I was having a similar problem in a group with 2 friends today, we couldn't see each others characters - just arrows moving around; like we were a group of invisible people. One of them took a screen shot and sent it into tech support, but we kept messing around with it - and after all of us restarted the client, relogged, then reloaded the UI it finally was working for us... pretty strange.

Yeah I'm having the same issue. Makes the game nearly unplayable because I can't interact with or even see any enemies, npcs, or some objects. Weird I can play on HIGH settings and it runs fine besides not "loading" everything. Would turning on v-sync help? I'm at a loss lol...

BrotherPain · April 2014

Exact same issue here. NPCs and players (and sometimes stuff like crafting stations) don't show up immediately, and sometimes not for a while, though /reloadui fixes it. It's annoying in cities because of the collision detection, and it makes running dungeons all but impossible.

Game otherwise runs perfectly with everything but shadows on high.

My Partner is having the same problem, the first time he repaired in the launcher, and it seemed to fix it for about a day.. Recently he had it happen again, he repaired the files again and it worked for about an hour, and now has just finished repairing it for the third time..
He is completely dissatisfied with this, and i would like to fix it without having to see if re-downloading the whole thing will work.
The problems he is having is;
-Disappearing NPC's
-Disappearing PC's (or Playing Characters)
-Not able to interact with anything (Pressing "E")
-Disappearing Monsters
-Constantly (Every 10-15seconds or less) has to /reloadui
He is also having problems with falling through the world, but i'm not entirely sure its related at all.

Same problem here, have a great PC that should have no problem running the game on high. Constantly have to wait long periods of time for NPCs and mobs. Makes the game almost unplayable. ATI HD7950 is my video card.

/reloadui which takes forever, does temporarily help.

I also have more issues falling through the world than my friend does who is playing with me. In case that is at all related.

Encognito · July 2014

Same here.. Nothing seems to help for very long. Tried it all...Getting killed over and over by invisible mobs isnt much fun.. Losing interest pretty fast with this game as they keep adding more content and not fixing major issues. The last patch totally screwed my game up.. bahhh

same here too
