Constant Crash to Desktop

Cinnamon_Spider · September 2014

Only happened once tonight. After thinking about the times this has happened, it seems to be after one or both of my weapons bug out and don't show the animation when I use a skill/attack.

Evergnar · September 2014

Waited to get on Thornblade (NA) until the population was 2 bars ea alliance on Wed night (around 11 pst). Didn't have a single crash.

synnerman · September 2014

Totally unacceptable again. The worst crash type since the game has started. 3 time last night my screen froze went to task manager to end the eso exe and even that froze in the end I had to reboot. Loading screens coming back in after and I did notice that my task manager was saying just over 2gb mem was being used whereas the night before it was using 1.6gb after an hr of playing so it looks like aswell as the above there is a memory leak aswell.

Can your guys actually put out a patch that doesn't have a memory leak in it?

Crash -> Relaunch -> Infinite loading screen.

And it continues!

We did fix a crash that was occurring in Cyrodiil with patch 1.4.4, so you should be seeing some improvements at this point. We are continuing to look at additional issues that could cause you to crash, though.

I sincerely think it's not a bug.

It's simply server loads. Few months after game is released, I've never seen Cyro THIS PACKED on PEAK TIMES... it's just your servers seems to have problems handling it.

In fact, I'm 90% sure.

Come on, ZOS, just admit and say that you got plans to get new servers or whatever. Even without a deadline, having a piece of mind that the game developers actually know what's wrong and will do something about it really helps people to stay sub...

Ignorance can only get you so far.

If they make it so that all server's "Locked" status is achieved with HALF the current players that Thornblade locks at, you'd see a lot more spreading out amongst the various servers, a lot less lag, and a lot fewer crashes.

Then give an incentive to not stack one faction (Like AD) by giving free Alliance swaps or large AP gain bonuses and you'll have a much better game.

Evergnar · September 2014

Got on Thornblad (NA) this morning. Population 2 bars across the board. Thought it would be a good time to avoid any possible problems but nope. Lag was really bad (worst I've seen this update) and had two disconnects before I quit. There were some pretty good sized battles going on.

Once again I watched at least 30 players from both factions freeze right outside a keep being attacked. All disconnects and free kills for anyone left on the battlefield.

I know Zos will find a way to fix this eventually but I really hope they will start taking their updates more seriously. The damage that is done after some of these updates cannot always be undone when it comes to keeping subscriptions. I really don't want to see the population dwindle.

Bouvin · September 2014

Haven't been having as many crashes, but upon exiting the game my display drivers have started crashing causing a blue screen.

DuelWieldingCheesyPoofs · September 2014

Yes same here, yes in pve too, yes since you broke the game again in 1.4 yes fix it.

Thanks, that rules out anything to do with pop lock code causing any issues.

Jimboo84 · September 2014

My game is crashing most when playing PvP, few days ago I think it crashed 8x in a row(within 15 minutes). The day after I played PvP again and had just 1x crash, with the same amount of people online. Crashing game with PvE is very rarely.

Most of the time there is a lag when too much effect and people are in sight. But sometimes it even crashes after using Wayshrines within PvP.

Vanzen · September 2014

This is unbearable. Close the servers for a couple of days. Make some test, and give us back a crash free pvp experience for love sake, or its gonna be your ruin, dont you realise that ?!

Nicko_Lps · September 2014

Cyrodiil is so bad in crashing and lagging...I really start to loose any hope that they will eventually fix it one day..

Rune_Relic · September 2014

I was actually getting to the stage where I thought myself ready to face cyrodiil.
Guess I will swerve that idea.
Meh...my home is azura anyway......then it turned all yellow. lol

Galilelo · September 2014

I have been gaming since a long long time and honestly I have never seen a game crash so often. I mean its crazy how often this game crash in pvp.

I would be cautious about blaming ESO before exhausting other options on this one.

This issue pops up for me after every update/patch which has been rollout.
Many times complained of this to Support.

frozywozy · September 2014

For me it's more like.......

Crash ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> Alt+F4 ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> Alt+F4 ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> Alt+F4 ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> Alt+F4 ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> Alt+F4 ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> Alt+F4 ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> Alt+F4 ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> Alt+F4 ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> Alt+F4 ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> Alt+F4 ==> North Morrowind Gate ==> Transit ==> Infinite Loading Screen ==> 10mins later.. Back in action.

Yeah this, I'll crash around 2-3 times a night in PVP and then it will take around 2-3 restarts just to get to the character select. By this time I've been kicked out of the map and have to queue again.

Remember everyone, the apologists say everything is fine though and it's not ZOS's fault, it's hard to make an MMO.

starlizard70ub17_ESO · September 2014

The game freezes and crashes every 5 to 10 mins, I've done everything from repair, restart computer, reboot modem, followed instructions on fixing error 201, etc. I'm pretty sure the problem is on Zenimax's end. The game has been sluggish and laggy since Friday night. I've been in Stonehaven, Malba Tor and Coldharbor, so this problem is not unique to PvP areas alone.

Tamaleana · September 2014

My game freezes, abilities lock up and then game crashes. Seems to have started after last patch. I am only running around farming for materials at this time and have crashed about 3 times. No grouping or pvp and having issues. Did submit ticket. Hoping this gets fixed soon.

Heresiarch · September 2014

I submitted a ticket, as well. Thornblade US AKA Queueblade, Crashblade, at al. I was sort of more stable before the last hotfix, though I was client crashing, just not as often.

Also, between the server crashes + client crashes... my experience went like this:

Queue -> play for a bit, my group in super laggy 3-way keep fight, hella crazy lag -> SERVER CRASH -> We all get back in, YAY! -> Rollback. -> Play for 5 mins, try to catch up with group. -> CLIENT CRASH -> "Unable to login" -> or "Login timed out, try again." -> Finally relog, but back in PvE map. Dead. Wait for respawn because I can't choose revive location. -> 10 mins later, respawn, re-queue. Queue position 103? No thx. -> Logout.

When you crash, are you getting any sort of error message? Also, are you all seeing this outside of Cyrodiil and Craglorn as well?

I pretty rarely had crashes before 1.4. Now it's usually at least one an hour, if not more. I do not get the error report popup. The game freezes, and I have to end process.

I've also noticed that loading back into the game after this kind of crash takes a long, long time.

edit: This is only in Cyrodiil. I had no crashes grinding 13 and 14 in Craglorn.

Same here crashes ...and sometimes kicked out of pvp...

Tintinabula · September 2014

I rezzed tonight at chalman FC.

DCs siege had just begun..absolutely no reason to crash (there weren't that many of them.) I rezzed with no apparent avatar..I could run around..no toon..everyone frozen in place..My friend told me on his screen I was logged out.

I went ahead and logged out and spent 20 mins trying to get back in only to have been totally booted back into Craglorn.

Sypher · September 2014

Just a small observation.

The crashing has significantly dropped. But I noticed that whenever I do crash, I'm usually doing the animation to cast harness magicka.

Vanzen · September 2014

When the game sarted 6 months ago, I used to crash like once or twice a week, no big deal. These days its thrice per hour while pvping ... Nothing changed on my end, so its kind of safe assuming its ZOS's fault.
