Load screens when there shouldn't be load screens - now available in Craglorn!

krachall · April 2020

I get the phantom load screens all the time in Cyro. But last night, I get them outside of Cyro for the first time and it made the game unplayable in Craglorn. I was getting a quick 1-2 second loadscreen every 15-30 seconds the whole time I was there.

Is this something on my end or is this yet another performance issue ZoS can't fix?

I get sometimes in Craglorn too.

I've got such loading screens too. Sometimes they last less than a second. I was opening crafting surveys and luckily these loading screens do not affect resource nodes.

They’ve been increasing even more lately, though I’ve experienced them in random locations. May be a coincidence but I notice I tend to get them more when either mounted or immediately when I access a crafting station. When mounted and running I get the loading screen, which dismounts me. Especially irritating when it happens every few seconds.

Hang in there, fix on the way.

Q2 2020: Update 26

Server Optimization & Stability
Non-combat Pets: We are rewriting how non-combat pets are handled to be more performant (work better, more efficiently, and take up less overhead/resources on the server. Internal bug fixing is underway. This work is on track to release with Update 26.

Right now it is happening to me near the Valley of Scars Wayshrine and near the Howling Sepulchers. I am not dismounted by flashing loading screens. I am stopped. I need start moving and sprinting again after each. These loading screens also close the resource node and I need selecting it again to collect mats from the survey. Seems like server is bash-weaving me.

That's how I got them, every time. Reported as such, because without surveys I never get them.

Yep. Very annoying. Had to leave that zone to *** them off

I agree on Craglorn for sure and a couple others too. I noticed it when doing surveys and it happens in Rimmen a lot in the crafting area. A quick turn and I am dropped into an endless loading screen.

This is new.

In Cyrodiil it happens all the time. Rarey during combat but very frequently when riding in the middle of nowhere.
Sometimes 2-3 times in 30 seconds.
It also happens quite frequently in Craglorn.
I had it once also in Vvardenfell.

This is VERY annoying and no error message appears.
Just the bloody loading screen which stays 1 sec or 2 and interrupts every action.

Yep, happens to me near the Belkarth Wayshrine. If your character stands near the wayshrine or the building next to it after a few minutes you will get load screens.

incredible how ZOS ruined the game, every month this game is more and more broken, i really belive this game is NOT irreparable, they cant fix anything and telling us they fix things what is not fixed after patches only that we dont getting crazy. Now Traders are also broken, cant search or buying stuff normaly.

Karmanorway · April 2020

Honestly, only reason eso isnt shut down yet is because they have a strong brand name lol

El_Borracho · April 2020

I got one in Vvardenfell yesterday. At the alchemy crafting table. First time for everything

Iarao · April 2020

i get them in crags. several really fast ones in a row. i usually have to relog to get them to stop. they stop me in my tracks.

Iarao · April 2020

glad to see others are getting them. i was wondering if i had a disk problem or something.

Mr_Walker · April 2020

Whole game was better before 5 Feb patch, and as for the big "performance" patch... LOL.

CleymenZero · April 2020

I get them in Craglorn and Cyro. Got videos of it.

Makes the game unplayable.

I hate that I came back after just 1 month hiatus... They needed a few to make the game barely playable.

krachall · April 2020

I was getting them in Wrothgar last night.

So sad that we have game-breaking issues in years-old areas but ZOS is pushing another update. Shining the bell while the ship is sinking.

I get load screens all the time half way through cities. Pretty sure the problem is my computer is capping a resource and cannot load the area(s) fast enough which triggers a load screen. Otherwise I also see: characters all black silhouettes, textures all blurry and sometimes get this "line" where the texture will go from normal to blur and if I try to cross it my character will run in place for a bit while it loads. I just have to be aware that in cities I have to slow down and let things load.

I may have found a way to correct this, per log in, anyway. I mentioned in another thread that I'd had this happen while my second monitor was locked to a black screen, with the mouse cursor stuck on it. I play with a controller, so not an issue with the mouse, but, to fix it, I've started going into options, with the controller, and going to windowed mode, and then back to full screen, and this seems to clear it up, while I stay logged in. Also, check your resolution, because mine was changed from my native to a really high, like 64 bit, 4K high resolution, and since my monitors won't support it, I changed it back to native.

This is all speculation on my part, but since I've started doing this, I've stopped having the issue.
