Crashes every try to enter the game after todays maintenance

Alhatariel · March 2020

I cant enter the game after todays maintenance: I come to the char screen, but crash 10 seconds after I do choose a char.

Try a repair via launcher, that sounds like a bad file.

I’m having the same problem after todays patch. Get to the char screen, pick my toon, then it crashes during the load screen.
I’ve been crashing every 10min since update 25, rarely ever crashed before then.

repair does not help...

I really think this one is an addon issue. As a work around I set up a little used alt to have no addons enabled except for "addon selector" and "votan's keybinds." I can log into that character then when I switch characters I don't crash.

"Bug report it please I have been doing the same.

I did a repair without results

If you're not getting onto the character select screen then it's not an addon issue, as addons aren't loaded until after character select.

Update: Disabling all addons in character selection screen didnt help, BUT removing all addons from the AddOns folder helped. I now can enter the game.

Same. Crashes on login.

Same issue. Repair did nothing (running on OS X). Disabling (didn't need to uninstall, but will do so next) LibChatMessage AddOn fixed the issue. Apparently this conflicts with the chat API changes made today (it was done to fix the broken chat API earlier for mods like pChat).

I just disabled the addons, not the libs, will check later, thx for this help

Thank you for the helpful update @lolmer. We see that the LibChatMessage AddOn was updated just about two hours ago, in response to this change mentioned in our patch notes:

Addons

Refactored the chat formatting API to preserve existing use cases.

We recommend anyone who is experiencing this issue please redownload the latest version and see if that does the trick. If not, disable it for now. Thank you!

I was having the same issue. Sirinsidiator (the author of the LibChatMessage add-on) issued an update to that add-on this morning that seemed to address the issue when I installed it.

It's available through Minion or on the ESOUI website.
