I have for the entire 4 day "early" access. I reported on here and in game to no avail. I wouldn't look for sympathy on here. Half of the people can play just fine and will just spout some useless comment like "I just hit level XX you're dumb!". The other half will also defend ESO and will tell you it's a new mmo acting on some blind faith for zenimax. Either way I feel your pain and this is ridiculous.

All day so far I have not been able to log in due to an unknown error. I have asked for help on facebook and sent in tickets and no one has been useful. I spent money on this and now am being ripped off. This is so frustrating

AT least now I know it's not just me - tried again this morning and couldn't even get to character creation. I would get the unknown error on the loading screen before.

Zenimax support just gave me a stock answer of "have you tried updating your video drivers??" Mine are all up-to-date.

Why can't I just play it?!?!?

I had the same problem. It didn't occur during the CE early access period, but when 3 day early access began, I started getting those loading screen disconnects. Eventually it got so bad that I kept getting unknown error after a minute or two in the game.

I read multiple threads on these forums on the subject. In one of them Zenimax says it's caused by packet loss between your ISP and the game. I find this plausible as it didn't occur at first, but rather kept getting worse as more and more players logged into the game. More traffic, more chance of someone throttling intentionally or a faulty connection somewhere dropping packets.

I solved this issue by downloading the free trial of a proxy software (I bet there are many, I use one called WTFast). Haven't had a single disconnect since, not even prime time. And no, it doesn't make my connection any faster despite the claims by the software. But it does route it somewhere that doesn't drop packets.

Hopefully this helps at least somebody.

I got a email suggesting to allow it on my firewall, didn't work. I downloaded and tried the WTFast thing, still didnt work. Ive sent in tickets and called and been on hold for 2 hours. It is like they seriously just stole my money and not letting me play. Of what I have played I completely love it, just sucks that all of zenimax is taking a vaction or don't care about us now

I've been getting this all day as well. Also having trouble interacting with any objects or NPCs. Have requested help but to no avail. A bit of a joke considering how much money I just spent on the Imperial Edition of the game. They really need to pull their fingers out to fix this ASAP.
