Game is constantly crashing in Orsinium

Elder_Martin · May 2016

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but I'm experiencing a ton of crashes while in the city of Orsinium. I'm not having this problem anywhere else except there. It doesn't crash when I'm in random parts of Wrothgar, just in the city itself. I thought maybe it was just crashing in load screens (e.g. entering the bank), but that's not the case. It crashes all the time just walking around in the city. Once again, not sure if anyone else is dealing with this, but just wanted to make sure that someone is aware of the issue.

Yep, I completely avoid Orsinium. First and only time I went there I crashed 3 times in a row, it took me half an hour to get back to playing again. People I play with crash there all the time also.

This is a known issue that the developers refuse to acknowledge. Every player knows to avoid the city of Orsinium. It's happened since day 1.

If you're delivering the crafting writs go to the shatul wayshrine and ride South along the road into the city, stop sprinting once you hit the guild traders, you should be OK then. I find that once you go through that arch it's laggy/crash central. I remember one particularly horrible evening where I'd crash log in again move two feet crash again, took a solid four hours of tears and pained howling to get my poor little Dunmer to safety, which resulted in a controller shaped hole in my wall

If PC were having these issues there'd be a huge outcry. This has been going on since orsinium was launched on Xbone and continues to be ignored.

I play on PS4 but I tried ESO on xbox one for a little while and immediately went back to PS4. Orsinium is a nightmare, I submitted multiple tickets about it and was told the problem was on my end. After playing on PC and PS4, I'm sorry but the xbox one version of the game is abysmal.

Have problems with fps in this city, i mean sharply decreasing... so a lot of lags(

Loving the new neon effect.

I've also been having issues. The main quest is completely broken, I can't go two steps through a quest without crashing out to the dashboard, and when I load back in, I get hit with an infinite loading screen, so I have to re-log from that, and if I don't crash again on login, I have to fast travel out of wrothgar immediately or the cycle repeats itself.

This^^ and getting DC'd at the Undaunted area in Grahtwood need to get fixed. No matter what time of day, how I try and move slow....or in first-person....no matter what....I'm DC'd every single time I go to pick up pledges. Please? Can we get a fix on this?

Methadone_Man · June 2016

This has been an ongoing issue for many months. They will never fix it.

Me too. If I do blacksmithing in Orsinium, the results don't get added to my inventory. If I make a dagger, it'll use up my metal ingots, but there's no new dagger in my list.

ZOS mentality:
To solve these kind of major problems ( orsinium crashes, low fps, double cc, lag, *** up drope rate in vMA,) they will release a new dlc and hope people to forget those problems.

Yeah, same here. Being in the city is a nightmare. I am just trying to get the quest chain done in Wrothgar, but I have to save going to the city for when theres more than one thing to attend to.

A couple of things that reduce crashing - do not use a mount in the city. If there is laggy sound, just stop moving, and give it a second. Its definitely a loading issue with textures and sounds. Orisinium is graphically a lot heavier than any other city in tamriel right now, and the Xbox appears to struggle with it. The only solution is to slow down, and even then, it STILL crashes occasionally.

zofo · June 2016

This was happening to me but I was advised to delete the save game data from the console only and now I get fewer crashes.

makeyurself · June 2016

Just crashed twice delivering writs. Please ZOS, fix this because I really love Wrothgar/Orsinium!!

HaloGod · June 2016

Same here. I have completely given up hope that this will be fixed. Shatul wayshrine workaround works for me. I know this sounds stupid. but for Grahtwood, I walk from the wayshrine looking at the ground in first person. Then do the same thing after accepting/turning the quests and walk towards the stables. It's not 100% effective because you have to look up to talk to Glirion and Maj, but I typically only get a crash once a week. I can't wait to see how many times I crash opening the chest 70 times today.

I do this too, except I port into Elden Hollow dungeon for my way in, and fast travel out.
