And again an endless loading screen. This time again using wayshrine from keep to base. Each day the same "fun".

And again losing the connection to server. This time using wayshrine from keep to keep. I guess this fu... bug will never fix.

I thought it was a feature?

This wasn't actually in Cyrodiil but I was grinding dolmens in Alik'r during prime time to level up some skills on an alt and got the infinite loading screen several times in a couple of hours.

This problem has been going on too long.

Have it happen a lot when I play when rezzing at a keep/camp or even just porting to another keep.

Fairly certain that more often than not, it is tied invisible players in your group. Often if they kick you and ride out of range, you'll load (but not always).

Not sure what is causing this issue, but it really should not be one. The invisible issue that is. Happens in PvE all the time as well, where you cannot see another player in a trial or dungeon run so they have to travel to you or run out or range and back, otherwise you will not be able to rez them if needed.

And it can cause big issues in some situations - it completely broke Cradle of Shadows when I ported in to help a friend finish it, I couldn't see one of them and they'd been there so long they said, let's just go. Well, when it ported us to the dark area, it sent me and the guy I couldn't see, put me in an almost never ending loading screen, then finally dropped me dead into the dark area after the group was already back fighting the boss. They rezzed my body that was in the room with them, even though I was not even there on my end (I was still running through the "maze" trying to get back) yet they just saw my character running around aimlessly in the room with Velidreth. Obviously we had to start that fight over and do the whole travel to another player and get back thing.

Main point is, the invisible group member bug shouldn't be happening, not after this long of a time to have worked on it. And if they fix that, it may fix a good majority of the issues of never ending loading screens in pvp as well.

For a change I was in not in a group and still hit the infinite loading screen teleporting to a friendly keep that was not under attack. :-(

Hey guys. We are aware there's an issue here and it isn't getting any better. What we'd like to do is gather some information to see if there's any correlation or help more quickly pinpoint what the exact cause is. To be clear, we have been investigating and this isn't the first look we're doing, but more detailed information certainly helps expedite this. Things that would help include what platform/server you play on, which campaign you're in, where you're trying to load into or teleport to, the status of the keep you're trying to visit (if you're going to a keep), etc. The more info, the better.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

When loading screens occur:
1) When a keep is repaired / upgrades
2) When teleporting between keeps or respawning at a keep *This is the main culprit because it is the most common loading screen
3) When using gap closer abilities over certain terrain (think warden friendly pull, crit rush)
4) When going close to certain resources or places on the map (e.g. BRK farm)
5) When trying to login after crashing in a high population area of the map.

What can contribute to causing endless loading screens
a) being in a group where one player is outside of cyro
b) being in a group where one or more players are 'invisible' prior to the port (as in their character isn't loading for you)
Note: the fix to b) is to run out of draw distance of eachother and back to try and force a load of the character.
c) Where the area you are porting into has a high population of players (think logging back in)

Some anecdotal fixes:
i) as mentioned above ensure everyone is visible within your group prior to teleporting,
ii) don't invite anyone far away from your group until they are in range so that a visibility check can occur.
iii) set draw distance to 0 before logging in after crashing within a high population area this can normally help or at least get you logging back in at the home base rather than outside cyro.
iv) when you near high population fights move slowly (i.e run on foot) to give the game chance to load players within the area gradually. (Seems to help with crashes)
v) if repairing a wall make sure you move away from it a 82% / look away.
vi) Kicking the invisible player will often cause the people stuck in loading to get out

Hope it helps.
