Just trying to understand whether it is only me or the "random disconnect" issue is observed by others also.
So how often in the middle of your game play you suddenly get disconnected from ESO ?

    1-2 disconnects an hour
    Only been back to the game for a few months since I took some time off. Ever since coming back I've been plagued with constant kicks to the login screen on average every 40 minutes of playtime. I've been troubleshooting with support for over a week and not seen much improvement, really at my wits end with this issue but I'm just kind of dealing with it now.

    Check and make sure you don't have extra sound drivers installed. Disable or uninstall any that aren't your normal sound one. This game seems to have a problem designating sound and gets confused if presented with multiple options, which can lead to random disconnects.

    If you have an Nvidia graphics card, the Nvidia sound driver is safe to remove if you have another (like Realtek) that is working fine. It's only really used for streaming with their software, so leave it alone if you do that.

    Game seems to not tolerate bad Internet connection, which I have from time to time. :| It's not a fault of the developers, of course.

    I'm a PVE roleplayer concerned about my vampires stage 4 skin tone and keep getting load screens so I came here to distract people from major issues with a rant thread about my characters cosmetic appearance.

    I noticed that random disconnections are much more frequent (think at least 2 in a hour, but usually i don't stay there so long) when I am in my main house (Matiseen Manor). Don't know why, since there isn't a zerg in there... Nearly no disconnection in open world, and some in Cyrodiil.

    I mostly get them when I am trying to character swap.
    I have plenty of +999 ping and 2 fps moments almost constantly in PVP and in every major city and randomly when fighting things.
    I also slam into random load screens all the time.

    Since the last fewpatches, performance ahas really improved for me - hats off to ZoS (bey no-one thought they'd hear me say that lol). In Cyro lag is almost non existant for me. The only real issue I have is if I'm in a group in Cyro, i still get massive loading screens a couple of times during the night.

    PS: I make sure that almost all my add-ons are up to date and am constantly updating them, especially when the addon creators update them after new patches and DLC.

    This is as close to "never" as this poll allows.

    I think my count is up to 1 unexpected disconnect since sometime over the spring or summer.

    Sometimes it's nice and smooth for days. Sometimes it's disconnect once a day. Sometimes it's few disconnects a day, even to the point of almost not being able to play. For me, all problems with game (disconnects, crashes) started after Dark Brotherhood update - since nothing has changed on my end (same place, same ISP, same router) :/

    I only disconnect once a day, it's at the same exact time every day though (night really I 'spose) which is at 2:08 a.m. UTC.

    Oddly enough it started a whole lot later at first and then over the past 2-3 months occured every night/morning a little earlier than the previous night, with about 2-10 minutes difference, until it hit 2:08 a.m. where it seems happy to stay...for now. And no, it's not my internet, everything else keeps running normally, just ESO crashes...

    Loading screens of the infinite sort do happen randomly still, especially in Cyro, but that's to be expected from a MMORPG where a 3 digit Latency is considered perfectly normal...

    I don't experience any connectivity issues from the game's end--only when there's an issue on my end with my connection. NA-PC user here.

    Hope that helps!

    Few disconnects over a week
    I'm actually torn between 2 options...occasionally I get a disconnect for no reason (usually it's prefaced with an infinite loading screen), but usually the only times it goes down is when my internet is problematic. the latter should be mostly fixed for another 2 years or so, considering that we just replaced our modem with comcast, and we usually have very good internet service. The recent internet issues were mostly our old modem beginning to die. Things happen, usually it's the infinite loading screen if it does, but very rarely do I get any other kinds of disconnects. I'm assuming it's mostly, in these cases, that the data I'm sending, or the data zos is sending, get side-tracked on the way, and just need a little bit of a kick-start (usually reloading the game solves it). Some places probably have more internet congestion than I do (Just up from Everett Washington here), which could explain why there are so few times that I have the misrouting of information for the game. Busier nodes likely have more trouble keeping traffic where it's going.

    It's probably been over a year since I DC'd for any reason. I think the last time was during a WGT run.

    I get kicked back to login screen at least twice a day, and I only play an average of one hour / one hour and a half a day.

    My connection is good, I checked it multiple times; this only happens when playing ESO, I don't experience the same issue on any other games.

    I play on EU/PC

    Got a few disconnects yesterday and had trouble trying to connect to the forum. Also had quite a few problems with disconnections since horns of the reach patch was released. Ended up running repairs more than once due to all the disconnects & crashes.

    usually its only a few times a day but after reading these posts i question either how many people posting play xbox or how many xbox players comment on these forums.

    because we literally call getting dc'ed "eso'd"
    it is such a frequent and constant problem. every dungeon run every trial just standing there. we avoid major cities and have to just stand there waiting cause if we move to quick or use a skill we dc after porting to a hub.

    it is a never ending plauge. at this point those that have stuck around just know getting booted as a fact of life for the game. we dont even push for them to fix it cause we know our opinion does not matter.

    Once, maybe twice per month, always in Cyrodiil or trials. I still get lag spikes very frequently, but actual disconnects have become very rare.
