So the 'patch maitenence on the 6th...'

argouru · July 2016

Please tell me that they are implementing a fix to address all the crashes and re-loads on the XB1 edition this week. I remember them mentioning on the last episode of ESO Live that they thought they knew what the issue was and most of their techs were making implementing a fix their top priority. They said it would be a few weeks, but I hope it's fixed sooner rather than later so I can start farming rubido leather as I have one maxed stam character and another stam close to maxing out.

Hi everyone,

We have identified a cause of the majority of the crashes to dashboard and crash loops that some characters are getting caught in on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The issue is related to memory, and we have a fix that improves memory handling for both console clients.

We are rolling out this fix on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on Wednesday, July 6.. Once this fix goes live, you should no longer see frequent crashes to dashboard and crash loops on specific characters.

In the meantime, we’d like to ask for your help. The highest volume of crash loops we’re seeing are in and around Orsinium and Wrothgar, especially where you pick up and do Crafting Writs, and to a lesser degree in Elden Root and Grahtwood. If you are experiencing crashing those areas, we ask that you please consider staying out of them until we patch the issue on Wednesday of next week—we’d greatly appreciate it. If your character does get stuck in a crash loop, our Support team can move your character if you contact them. If they do have to move your character, please be sure to not return to that area as they won’t be able to move you a second time until they’ve moved everyone waiting for their first character move – which could mean they won’t get to you before the 6th.

There is still one edge-case crash cause in Orsinium that we are working on a fix for, but it is easily avoidable. If you Wayshrine into Orsinium (the city) and quickly run into the city, especially with a movement speed buff on, you may crash. Waiting a few seconds before moving after you Wayshrine into Orsinium will greatly reduce the likelihood that you will crash. This issue will be fixed in a future patch.

Thank you for your patience as we worked to resolve this issue. After the patch goes live on Wednesday, please let us know if you are running into any other crash issues on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

The Dev Tracker is your friend

Didn't know about the dev tracker as I'm still new to the forums. Thanks for the fast response.

Yeah it's super handy! Also if you see posts with the Z image beside them, click that and it will bring you direct to the dev/mod post. Keep in mind though that also shows just for forum mod posts, not just game related Zos posts. When in a lengthy thread with Zos folks chiming it, you can go to the post #/small Z and click the arrow right and it will skip to the next Zos post in that thread (if there is one).

Basically, they think they fixed all the issues except the crashing near the Wrothgar Wayshrine (so I highly recommend using the Wayshrine to the north of Wrothgar and riding in).

I am hoping this really is a fix... It's been an issue for so long, though, until it finally because impossible with the Dark Brotherhood update... So I am worried it's just a bandaid to bring it closer to bearable instead.

As long as we can enter the fighter's guild building to reach the bank without the game crashing, I can live with the needed wait time at the nearby wayshrine. I tend to do that anyways out of habit at any city wayshrine I fast-travel to.

hopefully they fix most of the disconnects in alliance capitals and PVP but I doubt it well see tomorrow either everythings go to go and well in ESO or bye bye i just can't keep putting up with this.

There should be a @MissBizz tracker ..... they have earned .....

Lil_Willie · July 2016

It didn't fix anything

Balibe · July 2016

The hotfix help me .....

Xprez · July 2016

The "hotfix" apparently removed my ESO Plus benefits in-game.... So I'm locked out of any of the dlc content. Great job Zenimax!

But ranted in the eso plus thread, so nothing more on that here.

Have a great summer folks!

Yup. After trying to log in nearly 20 times, i'm giving up and going to bed early tonight. I gave ESO another try and was really loving the new character i was leveling, but now she's stuck in Wrothgar and i can't stay logged in for more than 4-5 seconds before it crashes, usually less.

Fix your effing game, Zenimax.
