Zoning/Loading screens take forever now

    Realy extreme is also the loss of chat messages while porting. It might have happened before, but with the long loadingscreen its just gets ridiclius. This realy screws with grouping. Its one thing, that you cant /w someone who is porting, but just missing the messages ist just plain stupid. At least buffer them so you dont talk past each other. This is making a conversation about everything but smalltalk impossible.

    It seems they tried to fix another issue at the expense of loading times since Molly says they are trying to decrease the duration and not fixing what caused them. If long loading times were an unintended result, they would have already fixed what caused them. I think this is an expected consequence of a separate fix and now they are checking if they can decrease the duration since we are not happy about this change.

    This is still an issue.

    And the lag last night and this morning (before the restart) was insane. I don't have the FPS problems, just the loading screens and lag. It was seriously terrible last night and this morning.

    Hm...maybe I got used to the loading screens, but for me it feels like they got shorter...not much but still a little bit since last patch. The FPS issue is still present for me ...after some time ~2h or so I have to restart the game or will not be able to play normally.

    Greetings folks,

    Our engineers are still working on decreasing these loading screen times! If you're experiencing load screens of under 2-3 minutes, this is known and being investigated. If you are experiencing the longer load screens of 10-20 minutes like at the patch, please let us know.

    Thanks for your patience!

    *Crosses-fingers*

    So how long will it be before they fix this.

    Sigh.. nearly 4 minutes just to jump into Craglorn. Tbh it is getting more than a little tedious now, i know they keep saying "patience, bare with us, we are looking into it" etc, but, I subscribe, i dont mind supporting the game and/or company, but the ball was well and truly dropped.

    It used to take 30secs at the most pre IC and all the subsequent patches. I enjoy the game, i am not threatening to quit, just stop my subscription and curtail my play times. These ridiculous load times are, well, ridiculous.

    So, no patch at all this week...

    Is it safe to assume that ZOS has just totally given up on trying to fix the stupidly slow loading screens?

    It really sucks that when I have a limited amount of time to play, half of that time is spent staring at a loading screen.

    Experiencing same issue. Have played off and on since beta. This is my first time experiencing these insane load screens. I can say that if they continue much longer I will simply uninstall the game for good. I bought some xp scrolls to try to catch up to some people in VR ranks and spent half the time of my first scroll in load screens. I though I was playing a game. Not viewing concept art.

    Same here, been going on since IC release now, so, a month. Yay. All that's posted is "we are aware and working on it" still, as long as they get my sub, I'm sure they are........

    It seems if it's not one problem, it's another. I went from unable to log in all day to endless loadscreens. I spend more time in load screens than I get actual playtime. What is even more frustrating is getting ANOTHER load screen when I "quit" because of all the endless load screens... I get that you're working on a better solution, what I don't understand is the secrecy behind it. What I don't understand is why you continue to put out new content while the current is still broken... Isn't that just adding to the problem you have yet to pinpoint!? All I'm saying is not to expect customers to be willing to work with you while we're kept in the dark about the reality of the situation. Don't just keep telling us you're working on it without ever showing results! Show us the progress you've made, maybe give us a projected time frame of how long we should expect this to persist! Work with us if you want us to work with you... Does that not make sense? Will I be ignored as usual or met with another cookie cutter response to shut me up for another few days!? I get you don't code the game, but as you are employed by the same people, you have a lot more pull for ACTUAL information than any of us... Give me something useful or nothing at all. This is getting old.

    Edit- I guess everyone gets weekends off!?

    Are we getting a fix for this or have you gave up and hope people just stop complaining.

    And why does most of the actual loading start only after the annoying loading screen is gone?

    Greetings,

    We're sorry to hear this is still occurring, and we are working on getting it resolved. We do not have an ETA as of yet, and want to assure you our engineers are making this a top priority.

    This is the third time I've been kicked after sitting through a 20+ minute load screen this morning alone. I was able to cook and eat an entire breakfast during a load screen... Actual gameplay is lag central and it can't be prime play time as most Americans are either at or on their way to work or school.

    Cooldown timers should stop while your in a loading screen until this is fixed.

    Gave up hope it will ever be fixed... :(
    During last week I just logged in to feed the 2 remaining horses...it is really so sad, really good game destroyed because of such a messy work. And it is really a good game, because of the loading screen issues and other unresolved bugs (some since I started to play a year or so ago) I took some close look at some other mmos but non is as good as eso at the moment... :(

    Loading screens, falling to death and fps drop are really unbearable bugs but still unresolved for 2 month+
    In my long "carreer" on mmos I never saw such an incapable handling of bugs...at least with those games still running ;)
