Sad to read this but what you said is so true I agree it is definitely not your problem for sure.

They are not going to delete your post in my opinion but nothing will change either. Bugs and lags will live with ESO till this game is totally die.

Thank you for your kind messages. I love to receive intelligent feedback and not dumb flaming.

I play from Italy, using for internet a 10mb ADSL connection from Vodafone. It's a perfectly stable connection as their central phone hub is about 250m away from my home.

My specs:

CPU Intel Core i5 - 2320 @ 3.2Ghz
Mainboard: ASUS P8H77-V
RAM: 8GB DD3 Corsair 1600 PC3-12800
Video: ASUS HD7750 1GB GDDR5 128bit
HDD: Samsung SSD's

The PC was built by me in 2012 - I know it's a bit old now, but even like this, the game runs @ 60 FPS in PVE leveling .

My system runs now with a fresh install of Windows 10, 64 bit.

I've tried the game on both 32 and 64 - same result. I've set (as instructed on their official guide) both launcher and app with admin rights, compatibility to XP SP3. Actually I've tested everything instructed by their official post here on forums.

I start using computers 25 years ago. I'm an expert in networking and old school VB, C++, Java programming, etc.
I can understand most errors, specially if they are on my side. Sadly this time the fault is on EU servers, to be more precise, it seems to be their security settings. Anyway, I understand they must protect their servers, even at the cost of their own clients not connecting to the game

Anyway, best wishes to you all ! Maybe we will meet online one day ...

Sadly, you are not alone!

Today, I cannot play ESO! Every time I try to get in game I get disconnected - sometimes with an error message such as 'could not connect to server' but never an error code.

I have tried both 32Bit and 64Bit clients but do not believe this to be a client issue - it seems to be a connection problem.

The game allows me to (try to) login but I get disconnected either before character select, during character select, at the screen before game (this sometimes just sits there with the circle going round for many minutes) or a few minutes after the game starts. On the few times I have been in game it has been impossible to talk with NPCs and when calling a mount the character animation 'fires' but stays in place for ~seconds~ then cancels without calling the mount. Other players appear around me as normal!

So! Today I miss playing ESO. I have other things to do. Should the disconnects continue tomorrow I'll have to post about such and, probably, raise a ticket.

I guess this is the EU server problem. They do not care much about EU, since we're for them a 3rd world market, after Asia and NA.
From now on, I will only buy single player from them. Never again MMO.

Thank you all again for the replies !

Not just an EU problem, I'm having similar issues since this latest patch on a NA server. Tried everything they suggested to me and even got infuriated at the constant copy/paste "you must meet minimum requirements" stuff when I'm far beyond minimum requirements..

This isn't on OUR ends, its on theirs, sad they will not investigate...this makes them far inferior in Customer Service and Tech Support to Blizzard and their World of Warcraft. Sad, but very true these days it seems....

If my husband and I find a workaround, I'll definitely be sharing it!

This issue happens to me often after patches, and this fix that Support has given me fixes it every time. Hopefully, it will work for some of you:

Sometimes your connection can be routing through an area that is not optimal for a steady connection to our servers. One way to fix this and "refresh" your connection path is to remove your host.developer logs and allow them to restore themselves and find a better connection.

Open the launcher as an administrator by right clicking on the launcher and selecting "Run As Administrator":
Run a repair.
Close the launcher.
Locate the launcher folder. The default location is C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Zenimax Online\Launcher.
Open the Launcher folder and delete all "host.developer files" which contain numbers only. For Example: host.developer1, host.developer2, etc. Don't delete the one which doesn't have a number.
Close Everything and then Reopen the Launcher.

This should redirect your internet connection to a better pathway and keep you from getting logged out of the game.

Edit: Just realized how old this thread is. haha oops Well, hope it helps someone at least. XD

What are you specs? Where do you live? I Left ESO some 6 months back because of the same reason. Since then I upgraded my GPU and changed ISP. A week ago I reinstalled the game and although I have huge pings in the evenings (something related to my location) I don't have disconnects anymore.

I get this quite often I have Intel 7700k, 1080 G1 card, 32 gig of ram, M.2 SSD. so nothing wrong with my spec, I also have 200 mb internet connection. It is really random and very weird.

@Jenadara when did u get this answer from ZOS?
All they ask me to do is Flush DNS and Power Cycle my home network. im trying ur sollution now.

Just for sharing to other folks ill paste here the fix they ask me to try (and never helped)

• In the in game chat type "/reloadui"

• Remove any add-ons and repair the launcher

• Close the game cleanly and wait for 15 minutes then log back in

If this doesn't work power cycle your network:

If performing a powercycle of a customer's/player's network, it is suggested that they Flush DNS before Powercycling.
To Flush DNS:
Click on the Start button
Type cmd in the Start Menu
Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator
Type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter
If it was successful, you will see the message "Windows IP configuration successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache"
Power cycle the router to clear the cache so that it doesn't store the bad route

To power cycle your home network, follow the process below:
Turn off the router by unplugging it. If you have a modem and router in one device, turn it off then proceed to step 3.
Turn off the DSL or cable modem.
Note: Some modems are equipped with a backup battery. If your modem has one, please remove the backup battery to completely turn off your modem.
Turn off all computers attached to your network.
Turn on the DSL or cable modem first and let it boot. Let it complete its connection to your ISP before proceeding to the next step. If you have a modem and router in one device, proceed to step 6 after it connects to your ISP.
Once the modem completes the connection to your ISP, plug your router back in. Let it complete its power on test before proceeding to the next step.
Restart your computer(s).

man, just got disconnected again! around 10 times this morning!

I get logged out from anywhere, just have done again this is why i have come back on the forum!

I keep getting randomly kicked to the Login Screen without any error messages. Started when I logged in after the server went back up today.
