Many of us waited with bells on to see the {COMPLETE} status hit the server update and started our updates. It was some of the fasted updating many of us have seen. We then (and by me i mean a few hundred folks on the FB groups I am in as well as friends and guild members) and we all tried our log in.....I'm SUPER happy to report that for this morning, with lo server traffic, we all got in just fine. Actually LESS load screen time than we are used to for some of us! I'm sure Prime Time folks may have a different story to tell- but so far so good ZOS- an loving some of these additions! Thanks! :D

    Your post is dead on correct. I also have never loaded into the game as fast as I did today.

    This. Usually, after a patch, it takes forever.

    Not as pointless as you complaining about my posting it. lol

    I'm posting it for ZOS to see so they know that SO FAR the update is going smoothly. As well as a point of contact for others to post about their experiences.

    Contrary to what some seem to think- we CAN AND DO sometimes have posts about having a wonderful experience that is outside the norm for something in the game. This is one of those times. Get over it.

    Celebration? Also, when you encounter a problem it can be helpful to know whether it's that you can't get in or no one can get in in deciding what action to take. Hope everyone is as lucky as I and gets in promptly and without issue. :)

    I just logged in really fast too. Was expecting it to be very long due to my inventories.

    Now to go see if those inventories are still intact...hmm looks intact but I have this Map Completion box partially covered by my chat box now.

    Sorry to hear that! Hang in there! If you could, please elaborate on the troubles? Is it just you got nailed with the long load screen? Are you experiancing Download troubles with the patch? ZOS does tend to read forum posts so if there is something besides what we were warned about that would be good to get out there. and if you ARE getting the load screen delay please share how long it takes for you so we can get a gauge going. :) Thanks for your contribution to the thread! <3

    is it full on crashing? or just the repair button is popping up? i saw many folks in my FB group report the Repair button pop up but their download then continued and eventually finished and launched no problem. Also are you updating through a steam client or the eso launcher?

    Launcher. It freezes at 20% and then crashes and I have to relaunch it. No repair button is popping up. I can pause before 20% but that doesn't help.

    Getting to the Character Select screen took a good bit.
    1-2 minutes after selecting the character to get to the zone loading screen.
    Zone loading feels like it's taking it's time, though.

    Try shutting down the launcher then restarting your computer. Then open the launcher again. This works for me every time.

    Course!

    Well when I opened up the launcher I didn't get anything to download. Figured that was okay, opened up the game, and couldn't log in. Kept getting an error message that I figured was because my launcher hadn't downloaded anything. So I closed the game and went to the game consultant thing in the launcher. It tells me an update is needed. No kidding, I know that XD

    Try to hit 'run tests', program freezes. I've tried 5 times by now. So I'll probably have to re-download the game.

    I had more issues with the patch than the loading times...

    1st error - not enough space on drive (have 770+ gigs free) - restarted comp and started launcher again
    2nd error - run Repair - downloaded and verified quite a few files

    Was able to hit "Play"

    EU account got hit with the "check internet connection" on first log in try. Little under 2 minutes from log in through char select to game on second attempt. 3 chars with not many items. Did consolidate back pack items to bank and deconstructed/learned all items I could.

    NA account smooth first log in with a lot more chars and items only taking about 1 minute from log in through char select into game. Really didn't do much inventory maintenance on this group.

    Getting to the character selecting screen took a little longer than usual, but loading a character itself didn't take long at all. AFAIK my inventory was all there (I haven't checked my houses or chests yet).

    Here is hoping everybody has a painless experience today.

    I'm still waiting on the patch to download, it's taken it almost an hour just to get to 28% and I actually have a good connection. This does not bode well for my log in time :(
