The loading screens have been made longer so that people that read slower have time to read it, but that's not all. People who appreciate fine art have had the loading screens made longer too so they can appreciate it for longer. in other games you often don't get a chance to read the tip text or look at the beautiful loading screen art because they load so quick. I'll have you know that ZOS will have none of that, so after a long and difficult dev process they finally came up with this brilliant solution.Edited by Jayman1000 on December 6, 2018 2:21AM9 -
Atreidus✭✭✭Eternal loading screens can be a connection - Problem. IPV6 is faulty at 90%. IPv4 can be a fix. But not all providers(boxes) are allowing a "downgrading". at the worst case: restart ESO.Edited by Atreidus on December 6, 2018 2:36AM1 -
MamaDruid✭✭✭Just came across this solution for low FPS, which seems to be working for people. Maybe it could help with loading screens? Do addons affect the duration of loading screens?Someone in my random group told us that a great way to reduce lag was to type your own name in the search tab of the guild roster. It reduced cpu usage or wathever. I thought this was a load of bs, but I tried it anyway, since it doesn't cost much. Well, believe it or not, after that I was able to rush the flags in 3 heavily defended keeps without too many lag spikes and no crash at all. Well, not too many lag spikes for this game anyway...
Full thread.

Hi. This is the wrong thread and i had found it out years ago but had never seen the reason, why i shall write it down somewhere..
ps.: this eternal screen stuff is not much guild related. A "solo" char is getting them to.Edited by Atreidus on December 6, 2018 2:45AM0 -

I've heard this as well, but I think that's more for in game performance, not loading into the game or an area.0 -

The loading screens are long enough that you don't have to just admire the artwork. You can actually go to art school, get a degree, watch ALL of Bob Ross' PBS painting shows, and duplicate the artwork at home all before the screen changes.6 -

It gets better, then gets bad again. Somehow they manage to keep bringing back crazy long loading screens.0 -
HalloweenWeed✭✭✭I reduced my loading screen times from >2min. to 15-20sec. when I replaced my mechanical HDD with an SSD!
But I also have a high-end gaming computer to process the stuff extremely fast too, so YMMV.Edited by HalloweenWeed on December 6, 2018 3:30PM0 -
NekoTashi✭✭✭With me it just freezes on the loading screen. I have to close the game and restart it to later teleport somewhere else then the place I wanted to go in the first place. I never had this problem until recently.
By the way I play this on PS4.PS4/EU Gamer | I don't have haters, just fans in denial.1 -

Let's rekindle this discussion since we still have 4 minute load screens. What in the world....
How does ZOS fix them, then break them, then fix them, then break them. These may be their best broken load screens yet.0 -

I also play on xbox. I have many issues with this game, lag and performance being the worst. But i dont have many issues with load screens. I hit random 5 second ones in cyrodil alot though. Also i have the game on an SSD, which i hear helps with load times. Its pretty expensive and im not sure it would help but i figured id throw it out there. But you shouldnt have to spend 100 bucks to fix a in game bug yourself.1 -

It does help to mitigate the loading screen times as it reduces your CPU load so it can process the area changes faster it is receiving.0 -
AngelaWasp✭✭✭Looking on the bright side, by the time I get through the long loading screens to the outlaws refuge, my bounties have always decreased considerably, or completely gone in some cases.2 -

✭✭I am also from Xbox NA, and oh my God these loadscreens are ****ing ridiculous!!!!!
Every load screen is at least 5 minutes long, I crash every 3 load screens I go into. This game has been pathetically laggy as of recently but of course zos won’t fix s**t and just spam us with crownstore garbage. Honestly this is becoming a meme at this point. I’ve never in my life known game developers that are so incompetent and downright ignore 99% of all bug reports but instead just advertise the crown store. So sad2 -

✭✭From recent behavior I've experienced it appears that ZOS has enhanced the loading screens with a new auto logout feature. It sure has relieved me of all the pressure of trying to decide if it is time to quit and go to bed.7 -

They were fixed in April 2018
They are what you see when queueing to enter a zone.0
