You weren't the only one tonight. I spent 40 minutes in Vivec, only 4 of which were in game. Then I'd promptly crash and try to log back in and fail for a while, ctrl+Alt+del to close the game, then get in Cyrodiil again only to crash again soon after.

I tried Shor, which was better, but even there I had a couple long loading screens followed by crashes.

Now, I'll freely admit this might be my rural internet on top of Vivec's crowded server and general Cyrodiil lag. But I wanted you to know you weren't alone.
