This is still crashing at this boss as original poster described. Your generic "have you tried these steps" DO NOT work, this is definitely on your end. Please look into this with serious urgency.

Ps4 NA ..we don’t have add insult so that’s not it..we all crashed at start of fight than took turns crashing till we beat him..he was the only hang up..also noticed after each crash he was harder and harder to beat.like hitting him was doing peanuts damage.only in there as it was the “daily random” we got put in.once he was cleared the level acted normal.also had a quick hang up in imperial city prison and a disconnect right before warden.these are regular disconnects the game just freezes.and I watch on my friends screen I’m just standing there and they can heal me but it doesn’t say I’m “offline” in the group.

If its happening at similar types of bosses and mobs in multiple dungeons, this means it’s like a mechanic that is causing it. It’s not crashing one player, it’s crashing most, or all, of the players in the instance... and then making it almost impossible to get logged back in due to freezing load screens back into the dungeon.

Exactly.

I suspect there is something wrong with that beam mechanic, the one from that boss on Fang Lair, the lich from Wayrest II and the final Fungal II boss. I'm taking a break, but I noticed the whole group crashed when those mechanics started, except me, but I was blocking (as a tank).

There is another issue with some AOEs, maybe the ones that add some slow? This is the bug that doesn't crash you, but locks everyone in place without being able to use skills.

I encountered that one in Cradle and was about to quit the group when the spider boss did a heavy attack on my that freed me. The group was still locked, and I got locked again, but managed to finish her when the heavy attacked and unlocked me. This is the same mechanic that seems to be breaking with spiders in other dungeons.

It's time they hired REAL testers.

I got Fang Lair 4 times today as the rnd

Crashed every time

Mycelius · November 2020

Guildmates and I tried to do a normal random today.

Fang Lair - group crashed at Caluurion
Screen freeze, no crash/debug report, just hard freeze. Have to force game to quit.
After a few frustrating tries, we decided to leave and try another random.

Waited on the penalty, finally got a pop-up, and we got Wayrest II, another buggy dungeon.

We decided that it was too frustrating to continue like this, had to remind ourselves we play games for fun, and abandoned any more tries for the evening.

All throughout the week, guild has been abandoning vet trials because all sorts of things are just not working.

Not sure how the Explorer Celebration is going to work out. Giving double XP at a time when dungeons and group finder are not working to spec - doesn't seem a formula for success or appeasement. I'd rather see glitches fixed, please, no more excuses or smokescreen celebrations. There's nothing to celebrate if things across the entire game are broken.

I believe the Addon API changes are in conflict with the Lich boss mechanics to cause a crash. 2 Liches that i know of fang lair and wayrest 2 water boss lich both have very high crash rates. I tested it out and went with normal addons, minimal addons and no addons and the one in which i didn't crash was with no addons. I'm hesitant on even using the 'up-to-date' addons in lich bosses.

I doubt its because of addons, I've never used addons and still suffer from constant crashes during Caluurion's fight.

Eormenric · November 2020

Crashed multiple times on Caluurion as well--not to mention the number of random crashes since Update 28 anywhere in Tamriel.

Turning off all addons did not help.

Since it was on normal, Caluurion didn't go immune when a relic was active. We all went dps and burned him down before crashes would have us fail.

The thing I have always hated about this game is simply how broken it is constantly. I don't mind anything else.

Foodbagger · November 2020

It is not player based, it is the patch Zos released that has made the game almost unplayable due to constant crashing (Dragonstar Arena, Cloudrest, Fang’s, Banished Cells 2 so far). Buggs (light attack issues) or lag (entire Morkath zone).
I rarely complain. But this is some next level stuff going on with this patch release.

Random Normal Fang Lair

Multiple crashes on other players <Including multiple people crashing at the exact same time during Lich Encounter. Tank with multiple addons did not crash.

A friend of mine tried to complete this after disabling all of the addons. The boss still lead the game to crash. Later a premade group went there to test and they had also problems with the same boss, and their conclusion was that it might be related to taking damage from/touching the AoE’s at the boss, like Vinterskald said above.

Craddle of Shadow: Spider boss

If you ever get hit by one of the boss's AOEs, your char will be stuck in place (like swimming in the air xD)
If that happens, you cannot walk, bar swap, cast any skills, light of heavy attack. you re stuck and wait for your death.

The only way we found to get passed that boss is to keep moving around to make sure no AOE hit you.
(No talking about 'not standing in AOE' which is obvious but as soon as the AOE starts growing under your feet, it 's already too late!). Kite, kite, kite!

No problem for the other bosses.

A lot of bugs do be reported on the PTS and many of them still make it to live(light attack bug for example). I won't blame the players for not wasting their time if it's going to get ignored anyway. At the end of the day it's up to the Dev team to actually test these stuff also.

numerous crashes throught the group at Caluurion, no addons responsible

FinrodMacBeorn · November 2020

Crashes (3 out of 4, all 4 2 out of 4) rather soon after starting the Caluurion fight - in the last try, the remaining 2 downed the boss, and afterwards the dungeon ran smoothly.

Nov. 15, primetime PC-EU, random normal dungeon

iamkeebler · November 2020

On PS4 NA here so I have no add ons- tried to do this dungeon yesterday and we did fine until we reached this boss and then we’d DC in pairs during the fight. Sooooooo frustrating! We’re working on a progression run and couldn’t achieve any of the achievements because of this bug. Tried 4 times before we gave up due to all the crashing/freezing.

So @ZOS_Adrikoth disabling add ons isn’t the issue. Take it back to the team and have them fix this dungeon.

Still crashing after patch v6.2.6.

What a joke.

By reading the forum front page, it is almost as if they actually forgot to apply the patch or something.

Animations: people reporting is still somewhat broken
Werewolve/Soul Trap: still broken
Dungeons: still broken

ajkb78 · November 2020

Same thing with Garron the Returned in Wayrest 2. For me it happened during the lich crystals mechanism. Possibly a common cause as Caluurion shares many of the same basic lich mechanics / animations.

(edit: my crashes were on PS4 which doesn't even support addons, so that may suggest against the addons api being to blame)

I should probably go and see if they fixed the Pale Order lead.

FYI,
Crash in Depth of malatar on trash mob also.

I decided to disable all my addons related to combat and since then, no crash in other dungeons.

I ve seen today other players crashing in a dungeon run, but not me.

0 addon, crash at every lich boss.

People have stop doing that because ZoS really don't care at all about feedback.

I'm not sure that is the case. This is probably because only the people testing builds make content like YouTube videos.

If you check the current bugs, SEVERAL were reported MULTIPLE TIMES during PTS. There were tons of people testing those things.

They just use the in game bugs feature or specific topics that might not get a lot of traction.

It is one thing if all those bugs were only discovered on live. Most of them, at least the more annoying ones, were reported during PTS.

Same after last patch, again, at Caluurion, game crashes if standing in AOE.

(Which makes me wonder now, is it really meaningful to report a bug in the bug section of the forum?)

Revelation2154 · November 2020

its not addons every lich boss crashes the game for me and my friends making some pledges impossible also cradle of shadows is impossible as Votary of Velidreth perma roots you but I'm happy that the clown store gets a rapid fix

This is happening on any LICH style boss that I've done since the update. Something with those bosses making people on different platforms, crash.
