How stable is Xbox One now? Still crashing in Orsinium?

Davor · July 2016

I haven't played ESE in over a month. (damn wasted a month when I could have been training my horse. :P) I finally figured out how to cancel my ESO+ subscription. Thing is I am getting that itch to play ESO again. Last I played I was in Orsinium but kept crashing ever 2 seconds to Xbox One desk top. After 2 days trying to get out, I was finally able to. I know I can just start up my game, and go back to see if it's stable, but I don't want to go through 2 days or more trying to get out again if I get stuck.

So I am asking here, did Zenimax finally fixed the crash to desk top when in a major city especially in Orsinium? I would like to come back and play and resubscribe again but if we just keep crashing all the time, whats the point of doing so. If so I will try it again, if not, will not bother resubscribing.

Orsinium is still broken but the rest of the zones are fine.From what I can tell but their a load screen now after you port into a zone.You have to move slowly and wait for everything to render. Also sometimes in Dungeons the mobs are invisible.

Dlc areas are still a bit dodgey got logged out about 5 times in hews bane today and i was just farming not doing any quests also lagged out when i went to the gold coast to hand in contracts.

I then went farming in non dlc areas for a couple of hours with zero issues.

I have these same problems, but the rendering time is much quicker if you limit how many quests you have open.

This happens to me on PC as well, when I login for the first time into a zone which is crowded - loading screen is just there for a short while, but when I start immediately to ride my mount at top speed, I have a few moments where the game is stuttering before it finally runs smoothly - but this is just in crowded areas this way. It is a loading issue, because while this is happening, a lot of players are just black schemes and some NPCs are not rendered yet and appear after a few seconds.

I haven't had many problems on Xbox, just the things that others have had. A couple of loading screens but that's about it. Hell even Cyrodiil is alright. The only thing I do in Orsinium is writs and vMSA farming and so far haven't crashed to dashboard a single time since a couple of weeks.

A thing that worked for one of my friends was to copy ESO to an external hard drive while still keeping it on the Xbox. Don't know what exacty he did, but he doesn't have any issues at all apparently, not even the disappearing mobs in dungeons or the black figures when you log on.

By the way, if you get rid as many options as you can live without (subtitles, namplates, etc.) the game runs much much smoother.

Doesn't sound fine to me....

Especially when you consider that there are a million more performance issues since Dark Brotherhood. All of them affect the game in a very bad way and no mention of fixes coming in Shadows of the Hist

It will get worse (slightly) next patch. Then we wait another ~ 3-4 months hoping the next major patch will fix performance issues.

I'm on xb but not crashing as crazy as before. Get out of Orsinium (however you can) and you should be okay. Let zos fix that wayshrine, but you should be fine otherwise.

I've done this and maybe unknowingly avoided many issues. I don't experience anywhere near the problems that a lot of people report.

Edit: I got myself a 5TB external for downloads. It's pretty much amazing.
