Queued for imperial city just to kill a boss and get my two tickets. I've been in a loading screen for almost 10 mins...

Waited several minutes, got sick of waiting. Came to the forums and logged in, made this thread. Decided to take a screenshot of my loading screen, save it on paint, and upload it to imgur...Still on a loading screen.

    you may want to give closing the app and restarting it a try...usually if the loading screen last more than a few minutes - something is stuck somewhere and won't load...

    Not to mention Events draw the majority of players into the same world space, so loading screens are going to suffer accordingly. My only suggestion for that is you'll have to try and keep your ticket earning in your region's off hours where most people are in bed for the night.

    Yeah, as soon as a loading screen goes longer than a minute I force close and restart. Even if the original load eventually works, it's a sign that a relog is required.

    Look at this guy, bragging about making it all the way to the queue. I logged in and got kicked just running to a wayshrine and now can't get back in. This game simply cannot handle events. I thought they made performance improvements, but it must have just been wow classic drawing load - looks like the event fixed that little blip.

    I would take a break and wait until the game has had another update or two. Try coming back after Q1 2020 update perhaps. Either that, or look into a rig upgrade.

    Do you have the game on an SSD, HDD, or a floppy diskette?

    You would think it's a box of punch cards the way it runs.

    LMAO! You're not wrong.

    We should get Margaret Hamilton on the case.

    Or maybe just ditch the current servers and spin up a Turing machine.

    I spent 2.5k on my pc not long ago. Trust me, it's not on my end.

    I'm pretty much done with ESO. No other game has this many issues.

    Infinite load screens are extremely common. But once it goes past a few minutes, it's stuck and won't load at all (you'll just time out).

    How much or what's in your pc means little vs what you have running on the background. My cheap 700 usd 3 year old pc has about 15 seconds of load time average and 30s after a patch. I wish ppl would realize that a top end pc does not mean much when it comes to mmos. You still have your net speed, any ISP issues, sever distance programs running in the background such as Norton or macafee those 2 AV tend to cause tons of havoc.

    That's the sad truth about ESO... 'Sure, you can play our MMO fine! Just not when others are playing it' :lol:

    A very reliable way to get stuck in an infinite loadscreen is to queue into PvP, and then after accepting the prompt (after queue pops) immediately use a wayshrine to port to a PvE zone.

    The game then tries to port you to 2 different places at the same time, and that does not go very well at all :D

    And also to be fair, I don't have these issues with ESO on a much cheaper rig. So...

    This, and ask in guild for an group its no reason to use the finder.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Tbh, I can't think of an mmo I've played that hasn't had issues like this for a chunk of the population. Not defending ZOS, just saying they're not alone in this issue.
