I am continuously being disconnected for unknown reasons. The message always reads on of two things; "Unable to connect to game server. Please make sure you have a valid Internet connection" or error 308 which is being inactive. I had very little if any problems with this game until the DLC Orsinium came out. Not it's a daily thing. I just want to play the game. I know there are probably techs looking into the problem, but they cannot hurry fast enough. I just want to play the game. Please fix.

    Same problem for everyone. Disconnections are becoming more and more frequent. We ran Wayrest Sewers Veteran last night and the party of 4 had a collective 6 disconnections between us in the space of 30 minutes.

    Damn man, that's exactly what I'm talking about. So far I haven't been disconnected once I'm in the game. I would be even more upset if I was to get disconnected and couldn't get back online. Then again, I would still be in the same situation. There's nothing we the players can do except complain

    Not just the disconnections but the perpetual load times that force you to manually shutdown or else wait for an hour or more for nothing to ever finish loading.

    Still happening for me too. It has evolved for me though. Now I get blue screened sometimes. Dealing with having to try and get online a dozen times just to be blue screened back to the Playstation home screen with a message that asks if I want to report it or not is really starting to wear on me. I had the blue screen Gods pull that BS on me four times before I gave up. I realized I spent more time trying to get online than I was actually playing online. Whoopty freakin do.

    It's happening to me as well, go figure.
    I can't go anywhere but Cyrodil, all of the PVE zones I get constantly disconnected every 5-10 minutes.

    This is just plain bogus bulls**t. When I get online I do it a half hour earlier due to this proble. Instead of just trying to load one toon I cycle through all eight that I have made. I end up having to go one complete cycle and then a few more until it will let me stay online. I really hope they fix this problem.

    i've been in your place, FIX UR SERVERS! its not my internet! i play wired! 200mbs! blablabla.. dmz? portforwarded blabla done all of that! whatver i got desperate contacted my ISP! they said everything is fine they tested the speed ofc its fine i told u 200mbs, i went on eso and showed them, got disconnected in front of his face, so they decided to replace the modem and guess what, it didnt fix.. then i went into my modem settings and accidently turned off the wifi.. so no wifi was avaible whatsoever, and it fixed.. whenever i turn on wifi i disconnect.. so i contacted them about that problem hope they will fix it so i can leave wifi on.. but hey now i know why i've been disconnecting.. might be the same for you, hope it works for you when you turn wifi off, and by turning wifi off i mean, login to your ISP, then go in the settings and disable wifi, not just disconnect ur laptop or deviced from wifi, disable it on your modem, hope it works!

    I've tried everything under the sun including turning off the wifi. Funny thing is a friend of mine gave me his info to log into his name so I could use a character on his account as a mule of sorts. Anyway, I can log in without any problems. I went through all the settings to be sure they were the same. There isn't a single difference between his settings or mine. I don't get it. The people with ESO need to do something about this. It is driving me absolutely crazy.

    i would disconnect every 5 minutes, but my friends did not have the issue so.. it must be on my end and it was.. if you think about it 80% doesn't disconnect, 20% do.. if it is elder scrolls itself.. every would disconnect but i don't ever disconnect anymore since i turned wifi off, it must be on your end somehow, what i've did is, i took my PS4 and elder scrolls to my friends house and played the game for a few hours and see if i'd disconnect or not, if you don't disconnect it must be something at your location.. some failure in the internet that makes you disconnect every few minutes or hours.. or someone with a virus on ipad, phones whatever in your location that is interupting your internet.. if you do disconnect at ur friends location then try to play on his PS4, if you don't disconnect it is your network drive in the PS4 thats broken maybe..

    I would like to clarify something about my complaint. I am able to log in up to the point of seeing my toon for a second or so. After this second or two I will be returned to the press x to continue screen with a message of " Error 303 Conection to the server has timed out". Or I will get a message of something like please make sure you have a valid Internet connection. After cycling through a number of toons I will be able to play. The number of cycles seems random. Sometimes it's six times before I load other times it will be ten or twelve. Then, at least once a day I will get "bluescreened". I'm sure this is a seperate problem, but I still have to cycle through all my toons to get online again. So you can imagine my frustration. Now before anyone tells me to do this that or the other (which believe me I hav tried them all and then some) I have a friends account on my system as well that has a PS plus account and I don't have a single problem, not one. Now to my question, what gives? How is it I have this problem on my account, but not with my buddies? I have compared every possible setting and they are all the same. I don't get it. I have had this problem ever since the Orsinium dlc. Before then I didn't have a single problem. Anyway, if any of you know why this is the way it is or can explain what is going on I would be tickled pink to hear your take on it.
    Thank you

    This has been beat into the ground for a long time, so anymore it's really a matter of venting, for you and for me. :#

    Indeed, the crashes have gotten worse since the expansions. My husband noticed the same thing. We both get booted after the screen freezes up, mainly in Cyrodiil. I only play PvP (save for maybe stepping out to farm reagents, sell at a guild store, etc.), so the frustration is through the roof. In my 30+ years of playing video games, I've never had this many issues. It's disgusting and appalling that the company gets away with this. My husband canceled his Plus membership, just out of principle of not giving them any more of our money than they've already taken as is.

    The sad part is the game is otherwise awesome--graphics, animation, sound effects, intense PvP, etc. But the functionality and its inability to handle all the people logged in, is deplorable. Apparently, they need to buy more bandwidth. The mega servers obviously cannot handle the stress of all the logged-in players and information flooding in, namely DPS crap being spammed out the butt. It's so frustrating; it's like making a filet mignon, smelling its savory scent, getting so excited about eating it...only to have it served to you on a garbage can lid swarming with flies.

    I wish I had not liked the game so much. I keep trying to step into PvP and give it another shot...only to crash after a few minutes. And it has deteriorated over the past number of weeks. That is, everybody freezes up within minutes and I can barely move, swing my weapon, etc. Just the other night, I had crashed around five times within twenty minutes.

    I've lost countless siege weapons due to this jargon. I error out and, of course, am told I am most likely the problem (i.e., "be sure you have a valid internet connection"). It's a nice riposte and distraction from the company...Typically, when I am able to get back in, I am either dead or knocked back to the way shrine, or PvP altogether. If that isn't the case, I am stuck and can't move, so then have to spend the lovely 146 gold to "get me unstuck," even though it's their issue and not mine. (Oh, and my other "favorite" annoyance I contend with all the time, is when I teleport to another keep, only to be forced into 3rd person. I was able to resolve it by mounting, dismounting, then toggling to first person. But now, that doesn't even work. SO much fun.)

    In short, I hafta ensure I have plenty of gold and AP on me, for all I waste on these glitches! It's truly frustrating, and while it's "only a game," our valuable free time and money spent are NOT. We both work hard, and it would be nice to sit down and relax with a game to escape into. Instead, we're only more frustrated and stressed, and eventually just find something else to play or do. Sadly, I have a bad feeling it will only get worse, and people will eventually just give up on this game and move on to something else, sooner rather than later.

    They need to remove the POINTLESS ESO logo "press X" screen.
    In fact when I load the game it should Load straight to my characters screen.

    I dont need 2-3 screens telling me I'm playing an ESO game. With all the DCs, the useless screens just delay me try to get back in only to find I missed out on a boss kill or AP.

    Seriously, too many screens just to jump back into the game ... That'll just DC you again anyways ...

    It is, above all else, sad to see that there are many others having the same or worse troubles with this damn game then I am. I am always crossing my fingers that the powers that be will fix what needs to be fixed sooner rather than later. Unfortunately there isn't apparent money in fixing instead of releasing DLC. I was hoping with the most recent update there would be a fix to our problems, but it seems the update was just to make room for the upcoming DLC. Go figure, making money in one hand and not making money in the other. Whatever shall they do. I digress. The way the problems are being dealt with reminds me of another game that had so much potential but they never fixed the problems. I won't mention any names but the initials of the game was Defiance. IF ANY OF YOU PEOPLE THAT CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS READ THIS; FIX THIS GAME BEFORE EVERYONE LOSES INTEREST!!!

    Can a mod or dev reply with what is going on please? Need help with this as the game is nearly unplayable in azuras star when you get involved with a large group battle. Everyone freezes and I can still move for about 30 secs before getting kicked to title screen. I can run around the battlefield like I just stopped time professor X style. It's an interesting glimpse of where the enemy is positioned but I'd much rather be given the oppurtunity to participate in the battle

    Cyrodil has been fine till the latest patch. Now without fail bumping into more than 10 enemy results in me freezing and getting dumped to the login screen. Deleted the game last night and re-installed in frustration shall see if that helps later.

    If not will be creating a ticket.

    It's gotten to the point where I'm cancelling my ESO+. I'm done. Soon as this month runs out, I'm not renewing. I'm not paying a monthly subscription fee to constantly keep getting booted from the game. I have suffered 6 disconnects with the "Make sure you have a valid internet connection" whilst in load screens in the Imperial City in the last few hours alone...This is unacceptable...
