    I always do. The first load-in always takes forever after an update.

    So it's not just me. Walking in to the Temple of the Divines in Arenthia took several minutes. I killed the enemies and subdued the Mane in a minute or so then walking back outside was another 3 minute wait. WTF?!

    Addendum -- I just realized, I'm getting MM reports after loading screens and MM might be doing full inventory scrapes... Anyone getting long loads try disabling MM and see if that fixes it. I'm offline now or I'd test this myself

    More addendum -- OK, I just tried going back and forth between Reaper's March and Rivenspire with and without MM. There's a small difference, 3-4 seconds, with/without MM enabled. But I'm still taking nearly a minute to switch zones. That's way slower than it used to be, maybe 2X to 3X slower. Something could be wrong with another addon however I'm not going to play 20 Questions searching for which one it is. ZOS, you changed something and not for the better.

    My long load screens have come after having been to the same zone a few times before. Once I can understand until a cache is built but this happens again and again with the same zone.

    Yup. Me too, at least when I tried for a few minutes to visit IC. Each door was a 2-3 minute wait.

    Hey everyone,

    For the sake of troubleshooting this a little and trying to rule out a couple things, could those experiencing this issue make sure your video card drivers are up-to-date (there was a new driver for Nvidia Geforce 900 version cards released today), and ensure that your addons are disabled/removed? Being able to rule both those things out will help us narrow down what the cause of this issue may be.

    Thank you!

    I couldn't even enter that cathedral in South Point just 10 minutes ago, I had to forcequit the endless loading screen. Also every other loading screen takes very long (if it loads), even logging in.

    Not sure why I should check my Nvidia drivers, did they release a new version today, too? ---

    I play on an iMac that is up to date and with all addons turned OFF I am still experiencing very, very long load screens.

    If I use a shrine to transport to another area in the same zone the loading times are normal but to go to another zone or to log in the times are painfully slow.

    I've updated my drivers, disabled all my addons and I still get this problem. Loading screens are now 4-5X slower then they were before the update. And I've experienced multiple hangs soloing.. Just to be clear -- I'm calling 10 minutes at a loading screen that should take 10 seconds a hang even if you claim it will eventually work.

    I can't believe you never saw this in testing. It's hitting everyone I've talked to about this. I hear from guild mates and people in zone chat that this is making playing a nightmare.

    FIX THIS BUG, NOW!

    Unfortunately, that update seems to have made the issue WORSE, if it had any effect at all.

    I had long loading screens last night (probably 30+ seconds to two minutes) but was able to play without too much lag (though I noticed a lag spike after collecting a resource - right as the collection finished and the resource hits the inventory). I updated the driver before I went to bed. I updated all my addons yesterday as well, and played with them working just fine.

    Today? It took me an hour to finally get logged into the game, after multiple times when the launch screen simply remained black, and multiple force-closings and restarts - and it was graphics lagging so badly that when I finally did get in, the other players around me remained dark "shadows" for the at least a good 7-10 minutes - and the NPCs only started showing up around the 10 minute mark.

    My loading screens went up to 5+ minutes each - and that was if they didn't simply hang forever, again causing me to have to force-close the client and try again.

    I started a repair over three hours ago, and am still only at 32%. Suffice to say I've not been able to actually play at all today, and if this repair doesn't help matters, I'm going to be more than a little irritated.

    I have had this since the update. I updated the driver for the nVidia 900 series and removed all addons from my computer. It made no difference. It is bad enough that even the launcher is taking 40 seconds to open instead of the usual 4 or 5 seconds.
  • lucian_banneb18_ESO
    I finally convinced some of my friends to re-join ESO and they all flame me now on the horrible 10min+ loading screens... :(

    ZOS, at least put up a loading screen message to say that you are aware of this issue, you are working on it and some pointers on what we could do to fix it.
    Thanks!

    I actually went into the folder and pulled out the executable file so I dont have to use the launcher (bypass it) it was taking so long.

    Nope. Wish they did... another hour down, and sitting at 41% on the repair.

    ZoS please investigate this one. Simply changing zones takes an excruciatingly long time since the patch, at least a minute in nearly all cases. I've seen cases where the wait is taking much longer.

    Its worse when you've been waiting the 5+minutes on the load screen and you hear the little sound and disconnect to log in screen and have to load into the game with another seemingly endless loading screen.. :(
