well... what's a valid internet connection? is there an invalid internet connection?

today i started to get this error message quite often, mostly when traveling to a home and sometimes to a wayshrine: "Unable to connect to game server. Please make sure you have a valid internet connection."

i'm using the same computer for at least 8 to 10 months and the same router for the last 4 years. i already tested my internet connection and i disn't find any problem. i have a ping below 30ms and 20mbps dl and 2mbps up. my internet connection has been valid since the game release and i didn't make any changes in the last weeks. why is my internet connection suddenly invalid exclusively for ESO? O_o any ideas?

    It's only this game. Never had this problem in any other with 20 years if gaming. If you are a PvPer, it's even worse. Some very few random days Cyrodiil can run mostly fine. Then the next day there are numerous disconnects, load screens that last 2 minutes or more. Random lag, you can become stuck in place, unable to move and no skills will work.

    Skills will randomly not work in combat, or be blacked out even if you're not cc'd or stunned. Even if you should have immunity, you still get chain stunned/ cc'd until you're dead. There are so many random bugs and disconnects, there should be a master page to list all of them. Sometimes when the game kicks you, you try to login and it says account already logged in. Then why in the hell did it kick? This game has serious issues, and they are not being addressed in a serious enough and timely manner. The only consistent updates and fixes I see are to the crown store.

    Yup, don't think the prob is on your end. I sometimes get that too when my internet is just fine. If you really do lose internet, you'll get that error but the game seems to cast plenty of false alarms in that regard.

    this problem returned today but it's even worst now.

    every time i try to login i get that message: "Unable to connect to game server. Please make sure you have a valid internet connection."

    i've been trying for a while now and i can't find any way to fix it and there's no problem with my internet connection. today is the only day i have to play for the next 10 days. this is no longer working for me. i love the game but every time i get some free time to play i just end up at home trying to login or getting kicked from the game.

    Also seeing those messages after Summerset dropped on console last week.
    However, I have a 200 MBit/s connection, so the problem should not be on your side.
    It’s definitely something on ZOS‘ side or on the way to the ESO servers.

    i end up able to login. but there's something wrong and the "valid internet connection" excuse is quite weird.
