PS4 Logout issues post patch

Several players including myself are experiencing log out failure while in zones like the Imperial city and craglorn. Logout timer will count down from 10 and just stay at 0. Very annoying.

Id rather not travel out of Imperial city every time I want to log out. So I am closing app. This is not optimal of course and worth taking a look at.

    Yup. Just happened to me in IC sewers. Had to close the application in order to switch characters.

    I believe yesterday they posted something for the Xbox as well. They said you have to force close the application to get to the character screen.

    I am on PS4 and I didnt have this issue, but I dont know about anyone else.

    Don't force quit.... that's a terrible suggestion.

    Don't use the menu to logout. Instead, open a chat text and type /logout

    If text chat is turned off, you will need to turn it on to do this.
    It's the most reasonable work around

    I am not suggesting it. I saw it on the Xbox issue and even ZOS said to close the application to get it to work. I hope they fix it soon.

    This didn't work for me, had to travel to a zone without a logout timer before logging out.

    We are aware of an issue where you may not be able to log out of your characters properly after the patch on 11/30/2016.

    In the meantime, we recommend logging out in safe areas of major cities, where there are no countdown timers, as many players have reported successfully logging out in these locations.

    Same issue! The bug has to do with the countdown timer hitting 0 and then stopping, halting the intialization of a logout.

    Typing either "/logout" or "/camp" into text chat have both been suggested to me but neither have worked.

    *@ZOS_DaryaK has a working solution!*
    • Logout inside the safe areas of major cities as their are no countdown timers
    *Worked for me :)*

    This works in delves.

    Edit: /camp seems to work as well in delves.

    not even "/logout" in text chat will work. Is this PS4 only or are other platforms effected? Is there really no QC at ZOS? I used to run a QC dept and I still do train our QC inspectors. I would quit my job if I let just one of your patches go through. Every time it gets worse and worse and you take longer and longer to fix it. You finally got your cancerous cash cow with Crown Crates so it is about time to put that ill gotten money to use and invest in the technical aspect of the game instead of the cosmetic. Fix your game ZOS

    I've tried a few times to access this "Notify Me" option but it has proven to be a dead end. I am sent to a page where I have to log in again (even though I was logged in already when I clicked on the link). When I attempt to sign in I am told that I am signing in from an unknown device (this is clearly nonsense) and that I have been sent an access code to my registered email address, but the email never arrives. I am therefore unable to be notified.

    Very frustrating :(

    Edit: I did eventually receive the email so have been able to use the "Notify Me " link :)

    So the support link says will be fixed in next patch. I have ESO on X1 and PS4 (I primarily play PS4) since X1 was updated yesterday I logged in there and this issue is still present. So has not been fixed, when do you guys plan on fixing this? How about until you fix it you disable logout timers everywhere except Cyrodil until you fix it? In fact why does there need to be a timer outside of Cyrodil to begin with? I understand the logic of a timer which I believe started in WoW so people couldn't instantly log out while in combat but since PvP is confined to Cyrodil why not only have a timer there?

    Thanks Gina. I was previously sent to a help article updated on 12/07/16 that had said in next incremental patch would be fixed. So I saw PS4 updating this morning so jumped on X1 as previously it said there would be maintenance on X1 on Tues so assumed whatever is being done to PS4 was already done to X1. So obviously had the same problem still on X1.

    This was my logic, thanks for the clarification. Looking forward to getting on tonight.
