Just seems fair since we didn't cause the bug but have been forced to waste literally hours and hours of our time captive to these loading screens for 6+ months now.

Why does the number get bigger every time someone posts it? It has NOT been 6+ months. It started with the IC patch on 31st August, that's 2.5 months.

No, it did not. It got WORSE then, but long loading screens have been around for much longer, can't say exactly since when. In Cyrodiil, for instance, the first time I tried to port between keeps always used to take around 5 minutes. This was fixed (for me) by not doing PvP.

THIS is the correct answer.

I was having long load screens way before IC came out.

As I said before. That was a different issue. The specific bug they have fixed was a bug introduced in the IC patch. The issue you are talking about is the loading when jumping between keeps in pvp, the issue being discussed in this thread is the long loading time bug introduced in august to the whole game. They may have similar symptoms but they aren't the same issue.

What I meant was that I had long loading screens outside of Cyrodiil BEFORE the IC update. Not as long as after they botched it in September, but still, right now loading screens are faster than I ever remember them to be since I started playing.

Ah I see, however, you are very likely the exception rather than the rule, i'd only ever seen a handful of people complain before IC and mostly it was in PvP areas (people are still reporting slow load in cyrodil). It's possible it was an account specific issue with you and a few others, maybe a corrupt entry, and with the fix for the quest log bug your database entries may have been forced to repair itself.

Not sure he was the exception to the rule. I know many that have had issues with load screens since way way back. It is a thing that many just accepted and grew comfortable with. The game has suffered from this issue since early launch.

I am glad to see it has become slightly better. Hopefully ZOS will find more issues that is causing the load screens and performance.

It would be nice to see a 64 bit client in the game soon too. I know that the one for GW2 has made a huge difference in performance for me!

Excellent, glad to hear the fix was successful.

I'm on XBOX and the load times are still brutal. Just F.Y.I

Not to rain on anyone's parade as I'm glad the issue is fixed for many, but for me, the issue remains.

Prior to the release of IC, I never saw the "This may be..." message. Since then, I see it every time. After the update today, I was hopeful, but alas, there popped the message.


I was disappointed. Maybe, since I've turned the console off since the update, it may improve tomorrow. We'll see.

I don't believe that fix is on console yet, as we Just got it on PC. You guys have to go thru all that rigamorole with your platforms, right?

Oh I know it's not on console yet, and we're going to have to wait until mid December for it at minimum. It's BS if you ask me. And I'm tired of hearing about first party certification to be completely honest. We need fixes and we needed them weeks ago. The PVP in this game is ever-declining, the maintenance and management of this game has been pretty bad. I can't have any fun in pvp because 6 or 7 people that I run with just get completely run over by 30 or 40 EP at a time. So I get frustrated and leave, but I can't change campaigns because I don't have enough AP to pay the RIDICULOUS cost for campaign changes. And it's hard to earn AP when the thought of stepping into a campaign (XB1 NA Scourge) makes you cringe because you know it's just zerg central and there's absolutely ZERO fun to be had in cyrodiil.

I am getting long loading screens again tonight......and fps drops...

I am looking forward to this patch on console next year. Thank you.

@ZOS_GinaBruno normally I hate your "fixes" and "updates" but y'all got this one right. Honestly good job.

Load times have not improved for me. I suppose ZoS won't care...

I am still getting the odd long loading screen when using wayshrines in the same zone.

Stuck on never ending loading screen right now...

Not fixed at all.

As with NobleNerd above, I ALSO had long load times outside of PvP (which is why daemonios' answer was the correct one)

That is 3 examples of the "exception" right in this thread. You know, with enough exceptions, all of a sudden we become the rule and those who never had issues are the exception

Three out of thousands is and always will be an exception, come back when hundreds are effected, that's when it becomes the rule. if you were having the issue prior to the IC debacle and are still having it now, then you need to contact support with as much detail as possible, it's obviously a separate issue and the more info they can get about it the more they can do about it.

You picked a bad time to come back. It's mostly better now than in the old days. Mostly. (Not today. Nope. Terrible day to get a second first impression of this actually quite enjoyable game.)
