You do know the dolmens in that zone are so heavily farmed that there are always an insane number of players there, and thats what is likely causing you to crash, not zos hating you?

Sounds like your system cant handle the Alikr Dolmen ball groups.

I rode both the Auridon and Alik'r dolmen trains several times today with no issues.

If it’s worked 98% of the time previously and no-one else is currently experiencing it, I would guess it is a newly formed problem with your hardware or internet, neither of which you seem interested in examining further as you seem so hell bent on blaming ZOS...

There's numerous posts from people complaining about getting logged off, it seems to happen to a lot of people randomly but you are suggesting there's no possibility it's a server issue or problem with the game but the problems is with either the internet or system of the people that it has happened to.

Since when has data storage and internet transfer had an infinite expanding capacity a company like ZOS can use without actually physically adding more hard drive/server storage or taking up more bandwidth or are you saying this is what they do and there are no limitations so players would never be kicked off due to system capacity being reached/exceeded?

Fair enough some players might have internet or system issues but you seem hell bent on saying it's purely an internet or system issue, that ZOS has no problems with it's servers or capacity and has no limitations?

Also my system runs everything else perfectly well, I never had a disconnect problem of getting kicked out/logged off when playing Dark Souls PTDE or DOTA2 and the times that I got logged/booted off ESO back to the login screen the internet has been working perfectly well for my other programs requiring a connection such as Chrome, so if it was an internet problem why does only ESO experience it and none of my other programs?

Do these sorts of things happen to anyone else?

So I was just in Alikr desert & everything was running normally no problem, got a soul shard, found a wayshrine, harvested some mats but then when I got to a dolmen my controls stopped working, then everybody froze & a minute later I was kicked/logged off.

Alik'r has three dolmen near teleport towers. There are really many players on horses grinding those dolmen. So, there is an army permanently teleporting at once and mounting at once. And then a thunderstrom of visual effects is going off at once.

My PC can handle it, but it is intense. Sometimes worse then an epic defence of a keep.

I've been kicked roughly a dozen times in the past two days. Sometimes I'm fighting, sometimes I'm crafting, sometimes I'm just standing there. I've never had this problem before. I think I'm going to have to accept it because ZOS.

Um it's handled them 98% of the time I've done them (all 3 in continuous rotation for hours on end) & I've done them in the big groups with so much group dps and players that they're finished off in seconds.

If it was my system then why did it just put me back at the login screen as opposed to say completely freezing my computer or the game completely crashing and why if it was my system did it only happen those 2 times as opposed to the tons of other times I've had no problems whatsoever?

Computer parts go bad. I would start with, disabling all of your addons. Hit the dolmen again, no, problem. Turn your addons back one 3 at a time, until you find the one that is causing the problem. If disabling the addons does not work, try downloading some memory scanners. Run them on your memory. You can try other zones with large dolmen groups. Basically, you are going to have to trouble shoot this. It's clearly not a game problem and if it is, you will have to prove it because it's not wide spread.

You clearly haven't been to Cyrodiil lately.

I rarely get lag or kicked, but the past week has been REALLY bad with that for me. Lots of lag and freezes

Get use to it, if you want loyal service try another game. This game is still in early alpha atm lol:) they are also working on another game rumor has so this game isnt priority I don't think it ever was:) after they kick you they blame it on YOUR side for not being connected to the internet xD

Zos is not working on a different game. A different part of Bethesda is working on the next TES game.

I think ZOS is working on a different game (nothing to do with TES), but I've seen nothing to suggest that it's the ESO team that is working on it. However, there's no convincing some people that developers actually care about the project they're working on. Then again, I suppose that's fair given that some of us cannot understand why others can claim to love a game they take every opportunity to slam.

I'm posting an update on this in case it helps anyone else experiencing the same or similar issues and to correct the misperception that all I ever wanted by making the original post was just to complain.

In regards to being kicked out/back to the character login screen whilst attempting to do a busy Alik'r Dolmen or having other issues resulting in getting kicked out/back to the character login and/or being unable to interact or use the e key or having problems with the skills window;

I don't believe it is my system being unable to handle the load.

These are my results from Can You Run It and I run ESO on the highest settings except maybe for shadows due to the fact that sometimes I play it with Nvidia 3D Vision enabled and I think the shadows look buggy except on lower quality and I have only sometimes gotten minor lag at super busy Dolmens or when I start the game and Master Merchant is loading its report or if Avast starts it's scheduled weekly scan.



I realised that the time I've had the problem with the Dolmens and the times I've had other similar problems (unable to interact, skills window errors etc) is when there has been a long interval since previously playing ESO or I have been playing ESO on off for a long interval. By long I mean say overnight.

If I restart my pc (I rarely turn it off) or it's been off then I generally don't have any issues or problems.

I think it has something do with my internet connection.

I have noted that if I use Utorrent to start a download of something after my pc has been on for a long interval that sometimes the torrents may only reach a certain lower speed that isn't the most of what my connection is capable of.

After restarting my pc those same torrents will start downloading at the highest possible speed.

I still sometimes but rarely get booted off/back to the login screen even when my pc hasn't been running for a long interval or has been restarted before I start playing ESO but as there is something about my internet connection that affects both Utorrent and ESO if my pc has been running for a long interval, in order to avoid very likely having these kinds of problems I simply just restart my pc first.

Only DC I have recovered the past 3 months was my router thinking a dungeon a great time to reboot.
