Client Crashes in Cyrodil

Sallington · July 2015

Does anyone else experience frequent crashes when in Cyrodil? I seem to crash everyone once in a while outside of Cyrodil as well, but there's two things that have a 50/50 shot of sending me to the desktop.

1. Combat of any kind
2. Using a transit shrine

Last night I was running around a bit, looking for a fight, and then the second I fire off my first ability....boom. Crashed. Using a transit shrine is a pretty safe way to make myself crash a handful of times within an hour as well.

Yes, I use addons. FTC, skyshards, the usuals. Has anyone noticed any specific addon causing client crashes, or has anyone have any temporary solutions to at least limit the crashing? It's keeping me out of Cyrodil altogether at this point since crashing every 5-10 minutes is not enjoyable.

Yeah, the game crashes for me quite often as well, mostly when fighting. Happens randomly and half of the time I just get a black screen and I have to restart my entire pc. I've been suffering from random fps drops the past few days as well.

This game is so poorly optimized it's pathetic.

DayZ has different problems than ESO. At least in DayZ I get error messages while here in ESO I just get kicked to login screen in the middle of a fight with no error. I experience no networking drop or anything. Just ESO takes a giant squat.

With ESO I also receive pre-alpha quality support. I put in a ticket a year later and completed all their steps yet it's still kicking me a year later. Probably the worst gaming experience from a release title I've had in nearly a decade. Even Arkham Knight runs better and that title was pulled from stores because it was so bad.

:shudders:

Super unoptomized, but at least I would rarely crash, if ever.

I was on the PC NA server last night in Azura and had a game crash. There was another person in our group who's game crashed at exactly the same time. For better performance I had already dropped all my graphic settings to Medium and turned off a lot of things like Sun rays, Bloom, AA etc. I was running at 60 FPS for the majority of the night, not sure what it was at when it crashed, I should have checked it since it's on my screen....doh! We were at a resource outside one of the red keeps and it was a pretty big battle. I would say close to 90 people on screen.

You not need buy DayZ, not need pay there. It not in release state and I think never be official released. DayZ cost in dozen times less money in development.

I don't care about what DayZ cost and what state of the game DayZ is. People were complaining about poor optimization of Teso. They definitely haven't tried DayZ at all. lol

DayZ is not a Zenimax game nor a facet of ESO. Bringing up another game is moot and detracting from OPs thread.

@Sallington
I get frequent crashes all over the game, not just in Cyrodiil. Up until last week I would randomly get this:

but now I get a black screen instead

This is happening too me on PS4 too. Completely crashes without warning. I even made a tread awhile back because it happens so often it's beyond frustrating. And only happens to me in Cyrodill.

I crash to destop 9 times out of 10. The other time I crash to the intro screen. Usually logging back in after a crash involves a hanging loading screen after character selection (5 minutes+) and I have to shut down ESO and the launcher, reopen and log in again.

I would crash on average two-three times an hour. Typical night involves 10+ crashes.

Typically it happens when rezzing at a wayshrine, on changeover of a keep on a keep offensive, when using doors after a recent keep take or defence, when a keep goes unflagged, when a wall goes up.

Typically it happens just in time to miss the offensive or defensive tick, and much swearing is heard on my guilds TS by me.

It was stable up until a patch (can't recall which one but it might have been when 1.6 hit the PTS). I will try a complete reinstall when 1.7 comes out to see if that fixes things. It might have been the patch that they stuffed something up on and made us download twice (11gb or something rediculous).

I crash to black screen about once per hour in Cyrodiil, have to ctrl,alt,del to Task Manager in order to close down the black screen, I always get crash report, these days I just type in "Cyrodiil" before I send it then restart my game. I was beginning to think that my CPU and/or vid card were overheating but when I opened up my computer everything was running fine, fans are still working and clean etc so nothing has physically changed. I've tried playing with low vid settings (looks terrible), got a bit better fps but the crashes still happen just as often.
I'm running
i5, 8 gigs of ram,
Win7 64-bit.
Nvidia Geforce GTX650

The game used to run fine on Ultra with most setting on high even in Cyro up until about a month ago.

Getting a bit tired of trying to make ESO work tbh.
