Gamebreaking Loading Screen bug + hostile untargetable player corpses

The loading screen bug seems to be a lot worse after Summerset.

For those that aren't familiar, the loading screen bug is the 2-5 minute loading screen the player gets after dying. Specifically it occurs after hitting Release and waiting for the respawn timer to go to 0. After the timer goes to 0 rather than respawning the player is instead put into a long loading screen.

Each time this happened, I also had "invisible" teammates (they were there, talking but I just couldn't see their character at all, and they weren't stealthed or using any stealth ability).

After coming back from the 2-5 minute loading screen and engaging in battle, I notice that some players appear as "dead" resurrectable corpses while continuing to "run" around (more like drag around on the ground) and cast abilities. The players are clearly not dead but for some reason the bug makes them appear as such. While it is slightly amusing if it's an ally, it's problematic if the attacking corpse is an enemy player because I can't actually target them or attack them, which means death and likely going back to the 2-5 minute loading screen again.

This bug is currently sucking out a lot of enjoyment out of BGs and needs to be seriously addressed.

TL;DR
  • Bug appears to occur when a teammate's character is completely invisible at start of match
  • Upon death there is a long loading screen, typically 2-5 minutes
  • After the loading screen is over, certain players appear as un-targetable corpses that drag around on the ground and cast abilities
  • Please fix; this is ruining the BG experience

    The untargetable "dead" enemy players are especially annoying since they can kill me but I can't target them. I see several other posts mention the load screens but not many talking about the "dead" player bug.

    I heard that using guild trader UI when ported into a BG may cause this. I have stopped looking at guild traders while in queue for the last 20-30 BGs and haven't encountered this bug during those matches.

    I had this bug happen when I wasn't looking a trader UI. Still unsure of cause of it.

    Like @ChildOfLight said it will happen more than once in the same BG.

    Guild traders are located close to wayshrines usually, so there is a lot of overlap.

    Can confirm this bug is happening on XB NA ass well. The dead player bug is most often encountered when experiencing a long load screen before or during the match. Not to mention the invisibility bug, which was around last patch, is happening in the same manner even more frequently. You can check my post history in the bug report section and find the video I took of the invisibility bug.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_RichLambert

    I'm not going to stop tagging staff members in these posts until someone ACKNOWLEDGES the invisibility bug.
