Cyrodiil Loading Times

Has anyone else experienced very long loading times in getting into Cyrodiil or doing anything which results in loading screens? I'm talking 5+ minutes without any change even though the loader is active and apparently running.

I can sometimes fix it by quitting the game during the loading screen, then coming back into the game and trying again which results in very quick loading, but most of the time I'm spending it stuck in loading screens forever waiting for an opportunity to get out of PvP.

    What campaign are you a member of?
    Keep in mind if you enter a loading screen in a full campaign, the servers will be struggling to move everybody to the correct location all at once.
    Emptier campaigns will obviously load much faster.

    This happens to me and everyone in my Guild too. It is painful. We all log off and back in until it eventually lets you in. It must be a bug of some sort.

    I'm part of Auriel's Bow, which I'm assuming because it's prime time EU is probably full of the 2000 players that the servers are meant to be able to handle.

    I've managed to get in and remove myself to PvE land for now, but I'm going to be awfully annoyed if I have to wait until the unsocial hours before I can play PvP

    Im havng the same problem. getting stuck in endless lodaing screens for Cyrodiil. This has nothing to do with the amount of players on the server, its a bug. It happens when population is low on all factions as well. After restart I get in with less that 5 sec loadingscreen...

    95% of the time, I get stuck at the Cyrodil loading screen. Which never ends, so I have to exit out of the game, and relog back in and hope it goes through. I'm in Aldmeri Dominion if that helps. My campaign is Auriel's Bow, which is the most populated from experience and is usually full. However, I shouldn't get stuck at an infinite loading screen.

    If the server suddenly became full again despite getting through the queue and accepting campaign login, getting kicked back to PvE would be better than having to close out my game and restart again...

    Seems like a bug then, and since PvE works smoothly and seemlessly it looks like a very annoying bug that needs to be reported to ZOS so they can get around to fixing it soon.

    I hate this bug. It makes the game unplayable at times.

    I died in Cyrodiil and am stuck at loading screen. I have restarted my PC with no luck in getting back in to PvP. When I log another toon in there is no problem at all. Plz fix ASAP.....

    Alt-F4 and try again, works for some not for others. Never been able to get in a non empty campaign, in Beta I did not have this issue and there was only 1 campaign and it was always packed.

    Well, tried it again at 11pm UK time and managed to get in, but it was much quieter than earlier. It definitely seems to be based on how full a campaign is so ZOS NEEDS to fix or acknowledge this issue so we don't have a choice between logging in before 5pm or after everyone's gone to bed.

    I've also started experiencing this, a fit sooner rather than later is required!

    I have been disappointed with the excessively long load times. And lag in overpopulated zones, the places where the action and fun is. This is a serious issue...

    I agree with jnjapexb. Beta was not like this. There were other problems and bugs most of which have been solved. I hope they solve the PvP problems too.

    I had this occur to me on Dawnbreaker EU a few times last night, only Alt-F4 helped.

    Right now guesting on Bloodthorn EU and it's just impossible to even get in. Managed to get in once but stuck on loading screen after I died. Now it's impossible to get into the game, so I cant even play my character atm.

    Edit: Finally got in after Alt-F4ing for the seventh time. My advice would be to just close the game if you're stuck on the loading screen for longer than three minutes and try again.

    I've been getting the same thing and closing the game and restarting has helped in the past but no luck so far this round. 4th try loading now.

    Same issue - Let's get this straight though - ALT + F4 is not a solution. It certainly is NOT repeatable across all customer systems.

    It simply closes the game client and let's you login again to try your luck one more time

    Same result so on to the 5th attempt. Can anyone say whether or not this is being checked out and if it would be faster to just wait until it finally loads or should we be closing and relaunching??

    yeah im in cyrodiil... i enter a dungeon, as i entered i saw an enemy players there.... im like omg gonna have a fight when i load in...

    nope... 5 minutes later i finally load in... dead. on the ground. no sounds. no combat. no other players or mobs around. im just dead on the ground. and when i try to respawn, it bugs out. it literally wont let me respawn ANYWHERE, any wayshrine i try to respawn at, it just says some stupid *** like" you are in an alliance territory use a wayshire to recall...

    and i have to wait 5 minutes to respawn automatically... now ive been waiting 10 minutes for cyrodiil to load after i respawned automatically... as i hit post this comment... still trying to load.

    This lag is being cause by all the players and bots logging in and out to reset their cabinets chests and trunks so that they can farm Vet6+ motifs like daedric and as a result overwhelming the servers. Its not Eso, it's *** players.
