Have you tested using "Travel to player" from your home to see if it gives the same result, or different?

Where is that an option?

Locked tight! ESO is fun, housing adds a bit more. Crowns that is!

I'll try that.

Reapers march. It may opening day glitch, frustrating not able to play as I'm locked in my house. Trying to see if anyone else has this problem.

I've been having this same issue and trying to get some attention drawn to it here on the forums with zero luck. Apparently it doesn't happen to everyone, but it is a real problem to those of us facing it. And if you don't have any friends or belong to a guild, the Travel to Player thing is not an option.

Free Inn Rooms = can't exit at all, don't even try. Bought houses can randomly experience the same thing. You can teleport from house to house, but actually getting out of any one of them is a crapshoot.

WHY CAN'T THIS BE FIXED???

Please read these remarks at least twice before posting a response, especially if you are "stressed".

When I exit my house ( either from the front door or map wayshrine) I get a next area loading screen and then nothing happens. I have to use task manager (pc) to exit the program . So I cannot leave my hose home. Same problem with or without add-ons.

(1) On which platform and megaserver are you playing the game? Since you must use Task Manager to exit the program, I infer that you're playing on a PC or Mac, but on which megaserver??

(2) What is the name of the homestead from which your character cannot depart, as you described?? Some homesteads have bugs that seldom, if ever, occur in any others.

Note: please don't claim "all of them" when the fact is just "all of the ones which I've tried", followed by list of the homestead names. You don't have a list? Then stop wasting your time and ours. Create a list of the ones for which you experience the problem in the future, then let us know.

(3) Whenever a character uses a "fast travel" feature, nothing always happens for a -- hopefully -- short time. Does the ourburos in the lower right corner of the loading screen spin? Or does it spin and then eventually stop for at least 20 seconds without resuming?

If the ourburos doesn't spin, then probably the game client has crashed. If it spins but eventually stops without resuming, then usually the game client has lost its connection to the game host server. If so, then ordinarily the game client displays the main log-in-to-play dialog screen, but the client might exit entirely instead.

These respective events can result from a flaw in the game client and/or the game host software, but there is a possibility that it is a network issue, or a client computer performance issue. So, it might be resolved by adjusting the video settings via the ESC menu. Also, be sure that the ports which the software uses are opened on your LAN router. For more information, use the SUPPORT link in the banner of this page to log-in to Customer Support and search the Knowledge Base with the keyword "ports".

You might also ask your ISP tech support whether their network has logged connection issues for your system.

NOTE: No programmer can find the bug without enough information -- from you and/or others who experience the problem -- to reproduce it. If they cannot reproduce it, then it is next to impossible to find it.

If you wonder why "they" haven't "fixed this", then consider whether the reports and responses in this discussion (among others) include enough information to enable "them" to reproduce the error state. As a former programmer, I suggest that you read the Guidelines carefully and follow them accordingly.

Your questions 1 and 2 are answered in my most recent post. See above. In all of _my_ posts, I've tried to provide all of the relevant information I can think of.

Again, please read and follow the Bug Report Forum Guidelines. I should not have had to ask questions 1 and 2 or read a series of posts to obtain that information. It should have been included in your the OP.

Somewhere you mentioned the Flaming Nix apartment in Mournhold, Deshaan. Although I have not bought it, a couple of my characters have "previewed" it at least three or four times without any entry or exit problems. However, you also imply that the same problem also happens for other Homesteads, but do not supply a list. What the programmers need are facts, not allegations.

Question 3 -- I admit I didn't think of this. Here's what happens: it spins. And spins. And spins. ... And spins.
... and then I quit the game, and try to start over.

For HOW LONG -- time measured in seconds -- does the ourborus spin before you decide to "quit the game"? When I first started playing TESO, I did not wait for very long and forced the game client to quit. After doing that a few times, I realized that it usually would not load as fast as I expected. Learn patience. The ourboros can spin for as long as a full minute or more. But if it doesn't stop, or it resumes soon after it stops, then eventually my character's position in the game is displayed.

Granted, the ourboros conceivably could spin endlessly. The problem is that it is impossible to predict how long should be long enough. I suspect that if it spins continually and the loading screen is never replaced by the character's position in the game, then eventually Bethesda.net will drop the connection -- perhaps with an error message, which might disclose that the player has been logged-out for inactivity. If that does ever happen in that context, then that is important for ZOS to know. Wisely include a screenshot of the display, if possible, or at least identify the error message if there was one.

So perhaps I have not encountered the "endless" loading screens which some players have reported. They have not been "endless" but often it has seemed to be that way. The system behavior has been as I described in my first reply, and which I've discussed further in this one. Regardless, I've reported other Homestead flaws and bugs, which I doubt that ZOS will fix, unless, maybe, they get a Round Tuit.

By the way, every time that you kill the game client, afterward you must run the Launcher's Game Options menu choice to Repair Files. There is always a risk that the game installation has been corrupted, because the game client has not been given a chance to close files that may be open before it exits.

*Sigh*

I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL POSTER. Which you could tell if you looked at the little pitchers or read the names.

So I couldn't very well have included that information in the OP, NOW COULD I?

I included the information in MY first post. Really, I don't think _I'm_ the one being difficult here.

If you bother to look, "Professor", then you should realize that my first post in this "discussion" was in reply to the player who wrote the OP, and whose remarks I quoted at the start of my reply.

Then you jumped in as if you had some obligation to reply to me, asserting that everything that the OP omitted was in your posts. But you don't really have empirical evidence to prove that you are discussing the same problem, do you?

Sorry, pal, but I always respond first of all to the OP, unless there is some reason to respond to someone else (usually one who has "contributed" erroneous information). If, at some point, I assumed that you were the OP, then I apologize for that mistake.

Unfortunately, you (plural) have not reported much of anything that would enable a systems programmer to reproduce the error. Then again, they usually find errors like the one you "all" maybe have found by searching system logs. I hope they have an AI utility that can do it. With millions of accounts, and several thousand logged-in at any given time, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack (an analogy which is meaningless if you have never searched for anything in a stack of hay).

That said, this is the wrong section of the forum in which to post system performance issues that evidently have nothing in particular to do with the game client or the game host software. So, what is your point?

Please take your anger and frustration out to the yard and curse a tree. But please beware of falling objects.

My grasp of English is pretty god damn good, frankly. You can tell me to read and follow the rules until the guar come home, but maybe you should read and follow Miss Manners. The last thing a frustrated person wants is to be lectured at by a self-important twit. If you're not going to be helpful, please be silent.

I did not tell you, personally, anything. I have told you (plural) how to obtain the help that you need. If you would rather dump your frustration here, then you are violating the rules of behavior for this forum. But you aren't going to look them up, are you (personal)?

Note: since I cannot address the player who wrote the OP directly, they are probably not a member of the forum now.
