Ahh yes, I see these bug "reports" in my profession all the time. FYI, unless they know the details of "what crashed" how are they suppose to fix it? "see how annoying this is"

I could be wrong about this, but... I am getting the very distinct impression that our recent rash of crashes are actually being caused by loading errors when the game is trying to load the appearances of other players. I notice that the vast majority of crashes I'm getting occur in locations where players love to just.... congregate, and stand there, idle, even if they're not doing anything. Such as inside the major banks, around the major crafting buildings in main towns. Things like that. Sometimes I was getting constant crashes loading a character no matter what, but was able to get out of them by slowly running away from the blob of idle players and the crashing stopped when I was finally far enough away from them for them to not render on the next reload after a crash.

Dunno if that explains all of the crashes because it doesn't seem to fit the crashes that are happening on my initial loading screen. But it is very, VERY consistent with the crashes I've been getting after the game has fully loaded.

For ZOS, please, PLEASE stop the random loading screens inside towns. Doesn't matter how necessary you think they are, if the appearance loading errors are what is causing this, those random in-town loading screens can trigger a crash. Loading and re-syncing for the purpose that those screens are serving should be done in the background instead while you are OUTSIDE of rendering distance, not right there where you are having things rendered.

For the rest of us, for now, try to never log out of the game while you are in one of these spots that players love to idle in. And it should reduce your crashes a lot if I'm correct about the cause.
