Elder Loading Screens Online

Casterial · June 2016

Title says its all, but seriously. Most games give us options to enable a faster load.
->Before you say "OP its your PC" no, on 4 different machines this issue is present.

Can we at least get a loading screen game? I mean I spend at least a good 1hour out of my 5 hours a day in a screen or so. They happen randomly, and sometimes they are so long I can make food, eat, and come back to it finally loaded.

Causes:

I don't know, a wall being repaired?
I don't know, crit rushing a flag?
I don't know, moving?
I don't know, a spell?
I don't know, partially rendered map?
Even character menus when first logging in can takes ages.

The issue comes and goes, but I always am ready to end the program and restart because sometimes its faster to restart the game, then wait for the server to respond.

Since I started to play again (Xbox) after a 6 month break, the loading times for me seem to be slightly shorter and there haven't been any of those 'unusually long load time' messages. Perhaps check your storage device. It might be getting on in age.

In a single player game, SSD can reduce loading times because the game is just loading assets. In ESO however when you see a loading screen, there is a lot of other stuff going on.

SSD Raid with fast read/write times doesn't help in my case. Recently Cyrodiil loading screens have been hanging for me as well (on 64-bit client) - sometimes the only way to get out of it is by ending the program.

dude you are already playing the end game, here on the forums.

Loading screens are working as intended.

If you have ESO+ you get more load screens, win/win.

What do you think they do with the subs and crown store money? More load screens!

Its a brand new 7500 RPM 1TB HDD, and 1 150GB SSD... It also happens to my laptop who is about the same, and my other laptop which is about the same. PC gets awful loading times daily, because of the bugs that are on PC but fixed before Xbox

Also I can download 25 GB in 10mins, so it definitely is not my PC/Net

It's always worse in zones where there are more active player's at the same time. I could go to, say, some random city where no one is and run across pretty much the whole zone w/o it happening once. But hop into Dark Brotherhood and I get a loading screen every 50 yards or so...

Yeah, lameness. But its prolly my carpy PC if I'm being honest with mehself.

My worst loading screen is the character selection one... lol

My loading screens are so fast i cant even read the lore text nor the tips text, you must have something off.

Molag_Crow · June 2016

Happening all the time on PS4 here for me and two friends, so it's not our PS4/ISP etc etc. I've recorded numerous moments but I feel too lazy to upload them right now, because... you know what? that would actually be pointless -- the slow loading is happening EVERYWHERE! literally.

No matter where I go, textures, NPCS and players seem to load slowly. It's worse in Gold Coast when we travel from the wayshrine towards the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary, we get 2 loading screens before reaching the door, unless we stand completely still for 15+ seconds then move on. If I move forward at the normal run speed or mount speed, I'll get a short loading screen anywhere, and even inside dungeons mobs will be invisible for a short while while attacking me.

It's happening in any instance, at any time in the day even at 4am in the morning so it isn't server population.

The load screen problem in Cyrodiil is nothing short of pathetic. Last night in Trueflame I missed out on a 19k Defensive Tick because of a load screen.

Martinus72 · June 2016

I'm on fast rig with SSD so loading screens are very fast, especially when jumping in-between way shrines in given zone but yesterday it happened twice for me that I've been stuck on loading screen and had to use alt-f4.
I just know when it happens and after few seconds there's no point of sitting and waiting.

Molag_Crow · June 2016

Okay, so I think we've established that those on PC are loading fine, and those on console (I assume everyone on console, or at least PS4...) is having random, short loading screens and slow loading of textures, players and NPCs.

Most of the issues I've had are during trials and in cyrodiil

Cyordiil for me, and one spot in Wrothgar...Only one spot.

Somewhat related to this post, but anyone else having constantly hitting a loading screen each time you head towards the DB sanctuary and exiting towards the wayshrine? Every time, back and forth.. getting to be so annoying. It also happens in other areas, but mainly in the Sanctuary entrance. Also, sometimes when I am in a fight, then that loading screen pops up and I can just hear I'm still being attacked. If It comes back within a few seconds, I took some damages, but fine. However, if the loading screen takes longer, I'm pretty much toasted when I'm back from the loading screen.

Not an issue for me in DB(I've only been there twice)
However, in Wrathgar my issue is nearly 100% the same... Wayshrine/main area load screen. ALWAYS in the same spot.

Gargath · June 2016

To this day I had no problems with loading screen and my PC is i5, GTX660Ti 2GB, 8GB ram, a standard HDD, and cable connection giving ~100FPS,~80 ping in full HD on 27".
Loading to characters menu is fast, same with reloading all 8 characters e.g. for horse training each day. Also I had not much problems with loading dungeons and Cyrodiil.
And I'm logging to EU server from Poland which is not a center of Europe, so I'm really happy with my PC performance and the way ESO actually works

.

"OP its your PC"

Definitely, or internet issue or someting else you have yet to discover yourself

Sausage · June 2016

I havent had them in long time, but Cyrodil gets super laggy only after 3pm, back in the days I was able to play to 6 o'clock or so if I was lucky.

Saturn · June 2016

No problem here. There were long loading screens after one of the more recent patches, but its back to normal for me again.

Definitely, or internet issue or someting else you have yet to discover yourself .

7500RPM 1TB HDD/150GB SSD, 32GB RAM, Nvidea 750ti, Jasmine Motherboard, 750PSU... 250 MB/sdown /20MB/s up

Not my PC @Gargath
I wait about 3minutes for my character login to work my first time launching ESO everyday, same goes for when walls are repaired or I trigger one in-game.

I've tries ESO on 3 laptops
---->12-16GB RAM, Nvidea 760-980M, SSD... Same thing.. Even tried other networks. Its the game itself that triggers them randomly.

Ping for me usually sits around 90-120, in Cyrodiil it can go be ~150-~900 depending on the fights. Loading screens happen when keeps are taken and when an inner is repaired before a dtick, etc. They happen randomly, and they cause a lot of issues for PVE/PVP sometimes.
FPS on all three go around 50-125 depending, all on ultra settings. Desktop now is at 120 outside Cyrodiil. In big fights I will drop to 25-30. (50++v50++)

Brakku · July 2016

Same here, anywhere in PVE it's quite quick loading, but in Cyro at a busy time (full population) when you use transitus shrines it can be 3+ minutes in the loading screen

Yes, yes!

-> Cyro I get random loading sometimes out in the middle of nowhere, these are quick load fast.
-> Repairing a wall, sometimes a loading screen may last 5minutes+ (usually restart client, its faster)
->Logging into game, Loading screen for character selection & first load of the day sometimes takes enough time to make a burrito(I did it)[microwave]
->Random loading screens in the world outside cyrodiil also happens, but doesn't last as long. About 30seconds - 1 minute.

Thanks for the feedback @Brakku

Or maybe you are just lucky. The amount of people experiencing random and/or longer load screens can not be placed solely on the user. With the addition of dark brotherhood I get load screens in places I use to never get them. Although it still happens to me it has gotten a little better since dark brotherhood first released

Indeed, @alexkdd99 I get loading screens less since DB release, they happen in Cyro a lot, but not as harsh. Thanks for opening my eyes to that!

Would that spot be the bridge crossing the stream? Or right past it? If you stop for couple seconds before crossing the bridge it should stop the loading screen. Although I have stopped going to wrothgar because people are becoming stuck there on xbox and having to wait on zos to move them

Oh my, yes its that exact spot you are talking about. I no longer have Wrothgar DLC, or IC because they for me are the worst.
