    Prior to this weekend is was a little worse, but whatever they did over the weekend seems to have helped.

    I very rarely get crashes in ESO, less frequent than in GW2 and even those were infrequent enough. I did notice that loading screens had been longer since Dragonhold, with Saturday being the worst, but much better since yesterday.

    I haven't had actual crashing, but the game overall seems more unstable. Performance is all over the place, turning in certain directions cuts my framerate in half regardless of what's on the screen...ridiculous load times, the game frequently missing weapon swaps in active combat, a lot of light attacks visibly going off but not registering, blastbones standing around half the time not doing anything, the list goes on. Since update 24 went live, the game is performing worse in pretty much every way.

    Haven't had a noticeable change in how often the game crashes, it's still only on occasion.

    Now, long load screens, random FPS drops, and stutters, I have noticed an increase in, especially after these emergency maintenances.

    Yes, getting Cyrodiil-like loading screens in old world zones now. Also sounds and visuals are desynced and delayed. Zone and guild chat missing or delayed. Kicked to desktop a couple of times. Performance definitely getting worse.

    Regular gameplay feels the same. I do find myself closing the game more when I have endless load screens.

    I now often crash when entering a public dungeon for a plunder skull. Before this patch I only crashed in Cyrodiil delves.

    I never crashed or had lag spikes before. Now I crash several times a night and have lag spikes to 999+ regularly. I was running at 80 FPS and 100 ms prior.

    The lag/framerate spikes are back. They were gone for the longest time, now I find I constantly have to restart the game after a certain period of time or I'll get intermittent spikes of horrid lag when I turn in certain directions. The game had actually stopped doing this for about a year, now its back again.

    Also crashing now and then, more frequently than before.

    I wasn't getting crashes to the desktop, but I don't think I was doing the sort of content that the people who were getting the crashes were doing.

    It has crashed 3 times in the last 3 weeks, but my desktop is about 5 years old and it usually crashes when my CPU load gets maxed.

    Why there is no option "no crashes"? Because had none ESO related for many years.
    Other things have failed like Addons, CPU & GPU overclocks. But not ESO.

    For now I would say about the same. Some days are better than others. Sometimes I play heavily on the weekends and have gone weekends with 0 crashes and weekends with dozens of crashes. This past weekend I had 1 crash to desktop.

    I used to crash in Cyrodiil in big fights pre dragonhold... now im crashing in open world frequently. This is the worst crashes have ever been for me... not only that but it seems the load screens have gotten a buff too

    Much worse during the first week, but really better now. And performance is great for me, every move a pleasure. Would be great if that quality remained after the group finder is updated.

    I think the game crashed a couple of times since I first installed it (March 2018), the most recent being last week, so at least it doesn't seem worse

    ESO crashes are very rare for me. (Much rarer than I expect from anything Bethesda related.) Most are of type crash on exit game and not many of those. I think I've had only couple of crashes during gameplay since I returned ~year ago and not recently.

    A. I have little problem with generic full crashes.
    B. I have a lot of problems with crashes at the time I'm logging into a new character.
    C. I also have problems with CPU use exploding, leading me to either close the program to reduce fan noise, or for it to eventually start working badly as resources are totally used up.

    B is probably better since the patch. C is probably worse.

    This is all on PC/NA.

    well, back when we were able to log in it was crashing more, but now that we can't login everyone's crashing less (can't crash if you're can't get into the game). ZOS probably sees that as an absolute win.

    Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
    "Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""

    Haven't had many issues with crashing since Dragonhold that I can remember, but there have been way too many service interruption shenanigans since. First Group Finder and BGs break, then we can't log in at all, it's just one mess after another and I'm starting to regret renewing my subscription.
