"Unable to connect to game server. Please make sure you have a valid internet connection."

    Keeps happening to me. Kicked saying can't connect to the server. Past two times it's happened while summoning my horse...this is BS. I work for a living and have no time to play this game and when I finally do it still doesn't work.

    I've been dealing with this error at launch with no problem with any other game.

    Still happening to me as well, can play about 30 minutes the first time I finally get in game and then without even going through a door bam kicked from server. Once I try to get back in the game within 5 minutes bam kicked again.

    Won't let me load character. It used to be the long in queue times that frustrated me now it's getting passed those only to be booted while "requesting character load" and advising me to check my internet when my internet is fine.

    Good news though is that in a different post about the same problem ZOS has acknowledged that the problem so hopefully they start working on it now.

    Still getting kicked still not acknowledged as a known issue I guess everyone with this problem doesn't exist.

    It's weird because some days I hardly notice the problem and then there are days where it's a struggle to even get on; let alone that this issue has prevented me from playing PvP. ZOS did put two responses to this issue in a different thread called "connection issues" but no post on whether or not they are fixing the problem.

    Started happening to me about an hour ago, makes finding vampires even more frustrating seeing as how i cant stay connected for more than 5 minutes.

    Your lucky then because I have only had 1 time since launch that I've been able to play for an hour or more before getting kicked off due to maintenance every other time it's 30 minutes and usually 5 to 15 minutes max.

    I bought this game at launch and now nearly two weeks later i still have not been able to play at all. Not one time. Through countless hours of troubleshooting and switching network settings around and even bringing my system to friends houses to test their connection, i think the cause of my issue could be that i do not have a static IP address. But i don't know for sure so i wanted to ask the forum.

    Anybody with a dynamic IP like me been able to play? Any reply would be appreciated. (Especially one from ZOS)

    Yes, this is so annoying. It keeps happening still after the recent patch(6/23) and its been happening since I bought this game. Please fix this there's a lot of people that this is happening too.

    Same here. The update did nothing to fix the issue. I really want to play without worrying about getting booted from the server.

    I haven't recieved this error message since the update until today. Every time I try to use a wasyhrine it gives me the "This may be an unusually long load time" then takes me back to the start screen. I have to walk everywhere like a peasant now.

    Can sympathise here, I bought the game and spend all my time being kicked off every 10 minutes precisely! I've yet to sit and actually enjoy the game due to this!

    It's funny because there's tons of people complaining of this issue on the forums yet the issue isn't present on the Console Known Issues Thread making me assume that ESO is ignoring this. They need to fix this, I'm desperate for even 30 minutes of uninterrupted game-time. They need to make us feel like someone is looking into this issue because right now, we're all assuming the worst.
