Dragon Star Arena Crashing 7th Level

JSlayer211 · November 2020

Please be advised that the DSA is crashing repeatedly on the 7th level. I saw someone posted it in dungeons section but wanted to make sure you all are aware as it's not listed in the known bugs post that was made. During the initial first 4 rounds we had 2 of our party members crash, but we stayed online until they got back on and continued. However, once we got to the boss fight, everyone was crashing simultaneously with no hopes of continuing the dungeon. After 6-7 attempts everyone gave up.

Onto my opinion, the game has never been in worse shape than it is today. Please hire a consulting agency or someone with professional level development and programming skills to guide you all through this process. The community used to cry for game balance, now everyone would just be happy if it worked at all. A game I can't play, is a game I stop paying for.

Adding an additional piece of info when I went thru DSA and crashed on 7th level:

- 3 of the 4 were in the US
- The 4th was in Canada

The 4th never crashed.

This has also happened to me. I was doing normal Dragonstar Arena at the 7th level and I crashed near the 3rd or 4th wave.

ZoS any update on this? Confirmation of issue? Plans to fix?

Andreas_Ost · November 2020

still crashed at level 7, unpalyable and no reply until now, even no GM to reply this thread like we are current investigate this issue. so disappointed

SeaUnicorn · November 2020

Experiencing same issue

ZOS_GinaBruno · November 2020

Hey everyone, just wanted to confirm we are working on a fix for this, and plan to include it in the upcoming PC incremental patch.

etchedpixels · November 2020

@ZOS_GinaBruno Is there any chance ZOS could update the list of known issues message whenever you confirm you are working on one. I've seen confirms for this, for the recipe problem and so on but they are not also ending up on the master message so keep getting new threads

How it can be after these many years !!

I wanted to chime in and say I had the same thing happen.
Thought it was me
Removed all addons ( deleted all saves)
Removed the UserSetting.txt and let it recreate
Updated video card drivers ( Nvidia 457.30 )
Went into the bios and turned up volts (tiny bit) on the RAM and CPU to make sure it wasn't something with the hardware.
Ran sfc /scannow
Updated JRE to the latest version, reinstalled sound card drivers, chipset drivers, cleared out of all temp folders, disk cleanup and TRIM

Deleted the whole game and redownloaded

Ran the game and same thing same place. 7th arena Daedric crash but I now get a crash report to submit instead of just CTD.
Sometimes I could get back into the same game and others I would be at the wayshrine I ported from dead.
The times I would get back in, it wouldn't last more than a minute or so before it crashed.

Did seem like when I used an ability is when it happened.
So I went on a escapade updating the K70 keyboard and firmware. Swapped around USB ports and changing the poll rate on both keyboard and mouse.

Tried about 10-15 times over 2 days before I gave up.

myself and 3 others tried this yesterday evening, on xbox eu, we also had the same issues of constant dashboards, had we been aware that this had been broken since the 6th, and only a reply about a PC fix we would not of wasted our time,
This really is not good enough

warich · November 2020

My group and I were just barely able to complete the arena on normal. We all kept crashing and one of our group members was never able to rejoin the game client.
I hope there is a fix soon

kindnuguz · December 2020

Just happened again, same place and everything.
Dragon Star Arena 7

it's like the changes are reverted back to before it was fixed.

edit: I was able to get back in and "Press [MB5] if rooted" and all the NPC standing there so I continued.
After a min or so CTD.
I was able to get back in again but I was dead and could continue: Press [ E ] ( the MB5 message was gone )

I changed my camera settings back to default to allow the screen to shake ( which drives me crazy ) and to allow FOV changes.
( I don't know if the camera setting has anything to do with it )

I was able to make it through.
