I started playing this game on a trial account back in 2014 before I bought it for steam and had this issue then, it makes the game unplayable and I stopped playing. I can log into the client fine, but as soon as I try and load my character into the game the server ends up disconnecting me (presumably from timeout) with no error code but to try in 10-20 minutes. This also happens on the rare occasion I can get into the game and I try and enter an instanced area like a dungeon or the Penthouse apartment. My pc runs the game fine on ultra high settings, my internet doesn't have any problems with other games such as Rainbow 6 Siege, World of Warcraft, Apex Legends, League of Legends, etc. I've tried running the game as an admin as well as with a VPN. Nothing has worked. I don't have any add-ons and I've tried the repair tool.

I just bought one of my friends this game, and now I can't even play with him. I'm wondering if my account is still tagged as a trial account and given lower server priority? I can't think of anything else that could be causing this. I'd gladly buy dlc or eso plus if it fixed my account. I know other people are having a similar issue though, and I'm very confused as to what the problem could be. I do have a support ticket open, but if anyone on the forums has something for me to try I'd love to hear it.

Thanks yo
