ZOS, CAN U FIX THE DAMN "MAP LOADING" ISSUE AFTER NEW DLC!!!!!

IT REALLY DROVE ME MAD! WHILE I RUN THROUGH EACH CITY TO RETURN THE CRAFTING DAILY QUEST, SOMETIME IT GOT ME TWICE OR THREE TIMES OF MAP LOADING! IT ALSO OCCURS DURING DUNGEON RUNNING OR PVP!! TWO MAINTENANCES WERE DONE AFTER NEW DLC LAUCHES, BUT NO ANY IMPROVEMENT OR FIX REGARDING THIS STUPID ISSUE!!

DO U REALLY CARE WHAT'S THE PS4 PLAYERS' FEELING???????

I am having this issue real bad tonight in hallow city. What in the world it's horrible.

Vaoh · July 2016

ZOS does care.

They're not keen on fixing it soon though. Apparently it is not important enough.

I have seen far more 1 star or Soul-Shriven forum members lately than I ever have. So many people coming here just to have their voices heard on this severe issue.

Rest assured, ZOS will fix it. When things get this bad, they jeopardize their playerbase's willingness to stay instead of moving on to other games.

Give them another month and something may happen

PLEASE FIX THE FREQUENT MAP-LOADING ISSUE, THANK YOU.

It even is getting worse...

Before Friday's patch, I "only" had 3 loading screens doing my writs.
Today I had 5 loading screens doing my writs.
One loading screen lasted about a minute.

I finally have more loading screens than writs playing time.

RobbieRocket · July 2016

As all who have spoken...
The issue appears to be loading-oriented, in other words often things do not load right.

The main symptoms are:

- multiple load screens after using a wayshrine to a new area or entering a dungeon/new dungeon area, this in turn can lead to simultaneous combat (whilst loading) and often Death
- NPC's are not visible or are one-way ineractive (they can kill you or talk, but you can't kill them or progress a quest) and this can lead to Death, missed looting, and delays
- graphics of floors, ground, walls and doors fail to texture load and look like clay or glass
- weapon/skill bar sticks (unable to swap to alternate) which can have all kinds of consequences depending on playing style or slotting technique
- "dead world" with delayed or no response when attempting interaction with doors, items and NPC's
- sound drop outs often in combo with some visual loss, (example: no flame sound or stream on flamestaff)
- stuttery, jerky, laggy graphics especially when riding and/or navigating towns

SMOOTH is not a word I would hold near to PS4 ESO this last month...

...all of this leads to frustration.

RobbieRocket · July 2016

...and I forgot, the questmarkers have gone nuts. They are very slow, often disappear before reloading on maps or compass and have become even more confusing with regards to in zone/out zone, near, far, etc.

jcroop9 · July 2016

Not going to entirely blame this on ZOS, elder scrolls has had a lot of "traveling to fast load issues" in the past on old single player games.

JosephZhengwow · July 2016

Totally agree with RobbieRocket and you have listed all the issues I also faced and suffered since BarkBrother DLC.

Any improvement after today's maintenance?

vic4ert · July 2016

nothing has changed ((

RobbieRocket · July 2016

Was excited to sign in after the troublesome last 2 weeks and 3 server downtimes this week.

...First dungeon, could not progress through a doorway (not door, just doorway) due to invisible NPC. Took 15 seconds to load in. I cannot confirm the other symptoms yet but it feels exactly the same and I would conclude - if I had to, right now - that the server maintenance had nothing to do with the issues listed in this thread, specifically the ones I have posted a couple of posts ago.

:-(

RobbieRocket · July 2016

...wow! It could even be yet worse. I'm struggling with conversations (NPC's), quest progression and the weapon swap and interaction with items issues are worse than ever. Be careful what you wish for, this just got worse...

JosephZhengwow · July 2016

God bless us! I'm ESO membership from Day 1 both on PC and PS4 console, but suffered from such kind unbelievable issues!

Not that this helps to resolve the issue in any way, but........ This is also happening on the XBOne.
Every issue mentioned by RobbieRocket.
Things actually appear to be getting worse.
I'm curious if you are all ESOPlus subs? It might be my imagination, but I only became a sub for the crafting bag, and it honestly felt to me that the issues for me intensified 3 fold as soon as I became a subby....
I'm wondering if there is some shoddy code in the way they implemented the CB, which is like a limitless bank, in that it is shared across all toons. Exactly HOW is it implemented? Seeing how the size isn't defined, the data structure would likely need logic built into it. Is it some kind of hashmap or dictionary? Or are we referencing into some sort of look up table?
It just feels to me that after DB went live things got bad, but once I subbed, things got EXTREMELY BAD!!

I have eso plus and things got terrible at DB release, however, only on my main character am I seeing 3 loading screens from Sanctuary to Garlas Agea and any other place within that amount of distance - upon spawning in or opening a door, 1-2 minutes of invisible npcs when I spawn anywhere, and other major lagging issues. All 3 of my alts do not have issues as bad, there's maybe max 10 seconds for npc to show up and I hardly see any loading screens. Not to mention my mementos have not worked on my main since last patch, my alts can use them fine...

There's a section in the 2.5.3 patch notes that says "Fixing an issue where having a large number of items in your inventory, Craft Bag, and bank could cause your game to crash." This seems to reinforce your theory.

NOTING IMPROVED AFTER THIS MAINTENANCE ON JULY 19TH!! DAMN IT!!

devilsTear · July 2016

To be honest what did you expect?

Ritzey01 · July 2016

People, and i use the term loosely, who come here and type in all caps do no good and shouldnt be listened to. If you want to make sure ZOS is aware of an issue you can do it in a constructive manner. Thats how you get listened to.

SIMPLE REQUEST:

1. IMPROVE THE DAMN FREQUENT MAP LOADING;
2. IMPROVE THE SITUATION WHILE YOU ALMOST KILLED ALL MOBS BUT THEY STILL DON'T COME OUT IN DUNGEON.

If you have five alts to do daily crafting quests, and you got 2 or 3 map loading while you run through the city (like Deshaan) to receive or turn the quests, it totally takes 1 hour to finish all five alts' daily, and you will know what I'm feeling.
