    Xbox One S. NA server. This has happened to me in PVP and PVE, but seems to be a lot more prevalent in Cyrodiil. It happens after you are killed and trying to respawn somewhere every time. It also happens using the transitus shrines and wayshrines. My game is installed on the internal hard drive. It's the downloaded version from the Xbox store.

    ==========================
    ==========================
    Predominantly happens in Cyrodiil (I only play Vivec 30 day campaign).

    If i get killed and select respawn to keep/home gate or forward camp then i encounter the load screen issue (this is ~100% of the time when i am grouped). Also occasionally happens when making wall repairs after a Keep capture that i encounter endless load screen.

    If I am alive and just using a shrine to fast travel inside Cyrodiil then I would say its a ~70% chance again that I will encounter the issue (although since the problem started i just avoid using shrines now).

    If i am playing solo in Cyrodiil it tends to happen around ~70% of the time that i choose respawn to keep/gate or camp that i encounter the issue.

    In almost every situation when i have hit the endless loadscreen and quit to restart the game then i do actually respawn at my originally intended location if it is still in my alliances (Hail King Emeric!) hands.

    ==========================
    ==========================

    Outside of Cyrodiil, lets say i wish to wayshrine from Wayrest/Stormhaven to Soulshriven/stormhaven then its a ~50% chance i hit endless load screen. If i wish to wayshrine from one zone to another for example Stormhaven to Glenumbra then its a zero % chance that i come across this error, In my case it seems to only fail when travelling within the same zone.


    By the way @ Team ZOS, thanks for doing this "sticky" for the players its appreciated.

    Although I appreciate the effort, it really seems like the devs still haven't figured out what's causing the problem. I sure hope it doesn't take 3 months to fix like vMoL.

    If you read the OP, it clearly states that they have not pinpointed the issue yet.

    Standard / orginal Hard Drive, no SSD
    Travelling from Hews Bane Wayshrine out to Auridon Skyreach
    EU Server

    i have to say, its been very quick generally - im not sure if that was Xb1x change or CWC! - even grahtwood (which took an AGE on my old xbox elite) is quick.

    2) - invisibilty

    what i do get almost EVERY wayshrine jump now (non cyrodill) and it doesnt matter where from/to - is about 3 seconds of invisibility before my character actually appears....that never happened before.

    Have played every day since update and not gotten infinite load screen but thrice.

    1st - In clockwork city when using the "pad" to travel to the crow WB.. cant remember name.
    2nd - once when going into cyrodiil from my house.
    3rd - once when logging in from main screen to character select screen (has happened before so probably unrelated)

    Notes:

    1) almost every use of a wayshrine, from zone to zone (not within a zone) causes my character to be invisible and most other players/npc's for a few seconds upon spawn. all overland zones.
    2) prior to update and still occurring, lag when weapons run out of and are re-charged.
    3) often lag when in fast paced combat and attempting to bar swap.

    * Transiting via wayshrines in Cyrodill will trigger this 96% of the time. Same with respawn. You might get 1 working travel once you enter Cyrodiil but not likely. It has nothing to do huge population either it's just broken.

    * Same screens ie. AA trial for many teleport. Also random regular loading screens whenever you enter somewhere.

    It seems to have something to do with entering new areas

    no lag, just game freezing up for 5-10 seconds very important
    Traveling via transitus plus respawning after death almost always causes the game to put you in a "usually" eternal loadingn screen of death which can only be solved by force crashing the game and restarting.
    Atm i cant start game its giving me the 0x8027025a error when i attempt it.
    Game is litterrally unplayable for me atm, cant even do a open world dungeon properly due to the repeated game freezing...

    I’m using a standard PS4 on the EU server and I can’t fast travel anywhere in Cyrodiil Vivec campaign without getting stuck on a loading screen. I have to shut the game down and restart it to recover. I’ve only gotten stuck once (so far) on a loading screen in PVE whilst using a wayshrine to travel across Craglorn.

    I have only experienced infinite load screens in Cyrodiil and Craglorn.

    Cyrodiil happens after every death and about one of four uses of the transitus shrines.

    Craglorn it happens when using wayshrines.

    Expieriencing long load screens when;

    - wayshrine not just capitals or busy places either.but capitals are almost guaranteed. Anywhere else 50/50
    - Loading into that worldboss in cwc hagraven I got stuck loading out. Restarted retried 4 times tried exiting and wayshrining out. eventually I turned off that character untill the next day when less busy. And got out by wayshrining.
    - Cyrodil repairing walls, doors or just standing near them, using transient shrine to move between keeps, death respawn.
    - going into a morrowind delve -not sure if it's on other non morrowind delves too.
    - Going into outlaws refuge in Vivec city
    - Waiting for map to load a couple of times sort of walking/ running cuts to screen to reload, not a great deal but does happen.

    I have only had three issues since the update:

    1. Infinite load screen trying to get into the place in CWC where you control the Skeevaton (in the main quest)
    2. Infinite load screen while teleporting within CWC zone
    3. Infinite load screen while trying to transitus in Sotha Sil when there weren't even any pop bars. I saw I think 6-8 enemy players and had a group invite from someone in my faction, but I moved to the next nearest Keep and tried to transitus back to my faction gate to leave. Haven't been back into Cyro since then.

    Standard PS4 NA server. Almost exclusively having infinite load screens in Cyrodiil. Just playing in Vivec but it is usually 0-2 bars atm because not many people are playing.

    I usually get one wayshrine port from the gate when I first join the campaign then after that any porting between keeps or outposts results in an infinite load screen 90% of the time. Any attempts at a resurrection at a keep, gate or outpost after a player death results in an infinite load screen 98% of the time. Happens when I am in a group and when I'm solo. I am just closing down the app and reloading to get back in.

    When I was with one other player I ported to a keep and managed to load in. He then ported in and I saw his character at the keep with me but he got an infinite load screen. So doesn't seem to be a port problem more a client load problem.

    When first loading into the game in PvE a longer than prior to Clockwork patch load occurs. Only happens with the first load after having the PS4 off any character loads after that are fine. About an hour ago when I first logged into Stormhaven the first load took so long that by the time I was loaded I was disconnected because of a time out. Loaded in again without problem.

    In Cyrodil I experience long load screens in transit, on death respawns, and when keeps are captured

    Also want to point out that load screens are not the only issue in cyrodil after DLC. There is a sync issue too. For example an opponent can be on siege and 40 meters away from me on my screen, but I drop dead and my death recap shows same person on siege just hit me with ambush, surprise attack, heavy attack and dawnbreaker even though on my screen they are still 40 meters away. That type of sync issue never happened to me before patch but is common now.

    The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

    Load screens trying to travel from keep to keep, including just from one gate to another
    Only way to get out of it for me is to close app and restart which invariably means I spawn back dead then get stuck in another load screen and throw my teddies out and give up!

    2 load screens reviving in a BG (restart required - 20 min penalty timer)
    1 screen freeze in a BG (restart required - 20 min penalty timer)

    Since CWC I have experienced long load screens in any and all ways you can get a load screen. Being queued into a dungeon or trial. Using a way shrine, a transit shrine, porting to a friend or just paying the gold to port somewhere from the map. Walking out of my house, sometimes just walking along in overland zones while farming.

    It seams like it’s a bigger problem in PVP but that’s only because the nature of pvp requires more load screens. Be it from dying or just trying to get to a keep in time to defend it.

    Zone: Most often in Cyrodiil - Vivec. A few times when I get out of wayshrine in a busy area like stormhaven or rawlkha or grahtwood.

    I have primarily been experiencing infinite load screens when there's a a lot of players around and I'm killed in PVP. When I'm trying to pick revive location, after doing that it's infinite load screen time. Or if using transitus shrines (which are buggy btw). Sometimes I'm just running to a keep or on mount in the middle of the map and it puts me in an infinite load screen. If there's a lot of players in the area the game lags when I'm walking or repairing a door then infinite load screen again. Sometimes things don't render + sound / audio is gone in the middle of a fight, and then loading screen again.
    SSD: Yes

    Hoping for a fix. Whenever I play pvp in a group and am on discord someone in group always says they get a loading screen every couple of minutes. A couple of friends don't want to play ESO because it's been happening to them in PVE, they would rather that we play other games.

    I'll post my full investigation as soon as I can on the Xbox One X. That said I've noticed that during the infinite loading screen my character is still capable of moving. I got the loading screen leaving my house in Raw'lka and I could hear my character's feet as I moved blindly, even running into the river. No attacks from the crocs though.
