Nope, still occurring. I just happened to find a lich in a delve (shawl ruins) and thought, I'll try it out. Still crashes.

Yep I tried the Shade again just after the update and it's still occurring, but this was post-yesterday's update that you received the message from the devs, correct?

Yes you are correct.

I was responding to Fares_B question about the crash. I should of quoted him. I'm not great with forum posts.

3 days ago I ran into a quest that had another lich that I killed without a crash.

I was able to complete this by using the amulet provided on this quest, which basically disables the lich so it can’t physically cast the spell anyway. So I wouldn’t count that as a success yet.

Hopefully it’ll work today though 😁

Well I don’t know what to say guys. Today in Stonefalls in Zabamat Dolmen, I fought a lich and got hit several times with the skull attack and the game did not crash. Every thing went smoothly. I’ll stop posting after today unless I face another crash. I really really hope things work out well with everyone. It’s really bad to have such a bug with such a great game.

So went and completed everything else in green shade go back to do this mission and it still freezes even if I stand still and he hits me with that skull Magic it still freezes

I am also still having this crash after the update with all lich/necromancer enemies who have this ability.

While I am still not having the issue of freezing with the skull attack when fighting lichs or necromancers anymore, a new type of enemy now causes the game to freeze. Stone Atronash is the new game crasher for me. They are available in three group dungeons. I only faced them in two: Bloodroot Forge and Moongrave Fane. I have faced them multiple times and in each time the game freezes and I have to reboot it. I still don’t know what cause the freezing or which attack exactly. Did any of you guys face this problem?

So today is the second day after the update. Until now I haven’t had a single crash despite fighting many enemies with the same attack. Last of them was Garron the Returned who is a lich boss in Wayrest Sewers II. I have fought this one before and got my game crashed several times but not today. So I’m thinking (and I might be wrong) they have fixed it but still testing the fix before they announce it officially. What about the rest of you guys? Any crash since the update?
Anyway, I’ll keep the thread updated it if I got a crash later (hopefully not).

I can't talk about pve since i only quest/explore but, in pvp the problem still exists with certain abilities (mostly necro's) and it's even worse than before. Just tried 4 battlegrounds today, all 4 crashed in the first minute of combat.
So i don't think it's even fixed in pve, i think you just got lucky.

Switch to 3rd person view seems to be working, but when I fought Dream Eater (Lich) in 1st person view it still crashed my game.

And one more thing, I expect this issue is a VFX issue. As switching perspective fixes the issue.

Still not fixed. Had gone awhile without a crash but it still happens in first person. Really wish they would fix this crap

I've been waiting for them to fix this junk on PS4, I sent multiple tickets back in June, and it's STILL crashing my game. A supposed dev even reached out to me back then and said they'd fix it, and that was an obvious lie. The Shade of Naemon is unbeatable and Striking At The Heart is currently unable to be completed because of that ridiculous glowing skull mechanic which they refuse to remove.

I still have this issue and it has been happening for months. It happens with that skull ability mentioned above used by liches/necromancers and with one that looks like a bird used by goblins/shamans. The screen completely freezes and I have to restart my console. I can't get past the first round of Maelstrom, can't do dolmens if there's a lich about, can't go anywhere with goblins, can't defeat multiple delve bosses/public dungeon bosses, can't do certain dungeons unless I'm with a very patient group who can put up with me having to restart multiple times etc. This game is actually unplayable at the moment. Every time I get kicked out I tend to just turn off the xbox now as I don't always have the patience to log back in and try again after having to put up with this issue for so long. Using third person is not a fix, it's a workaround, one which I won't be using. The developers should be doing more to fix an issue which seems to have been introduced months ago, not to mention all the bugs still in the game since the release of Greymoor. I know I won't be renewing my ESO plus when the year is up!

From today patch notes:

Fixed an issue where engaging in combat with some Lich monsters could cause your game to lock up or crash.

Nope still happening

This has been going on for so long. I really don’t know why it should take this long to fix it. Now I’m not an IT expert but I don’t think you guys are giving this enough attention. What drove me to write now is that it got worse.

A month ago I mentioned that the only solution around lichs is to switch to 3rd person view. This is not the case anymore. In Fang Lair, the boss named Caluurion (a lich), and in Wayrest Sewers II, the boss named Garron the Returned (another lich) has been causing my game to freeze even in third person view. So unfortunately this is getting worse. It’s not one trail, I tried fighting them many times and could not beat them because of this technical issue. And not only me. Other players in my group were reporting the same thing. In the end we had to abandon these dungeons.

So I hope you guys try and fix this issue and be done with this.
