None today. Some days as high as 2 or 3. Most days 0 or 1. I've only had one screen freeze since the most recent fix and oddly enough, it froze for about 10 seconds then fixed itself before I could kill the game and restart.
Today: Did two bg's, did most of Shadowfen, and did dailies on 18 characters.... 0 crashes. PC-EU
I do experience the excavating lock-up crash, since this weeks account maintenance. Maybe this is caused by a corrupt or faulty databaserecord. As before the account maintenance I had no issues excavating.
its ok only for 1/3 of the player base game sucks. the rest enjoy the game and u dont have to complain as it doesnt happen to you but when it does sry its too late xD
thats why the game is in this state its not only Zos to blame the community is fabulous too!

What kind of sorcery is this? I haven't crashed on PC/EU at all!
TBH. I don't remember ever crashing in ESO. Most of the problems I have with this game are due to my own connection.

I crash on average of 4 times per day. Sometimes none and sometimes more. Had my network checked and ISP came out to check the line. Opened ports on the router, disabled Nagle's algorithm then reenabled, then disabled again as it does slightly help. Different PC's and others in my area have the same problem. I think it is regional and has something to do with the PAT and NAT system the ISP uses in connection with how the ZOS anti-doss system is set up? But that is a guess.
After the last update I could not play more than three or four minutes without the game crashing. Either the screen would go black and the game audio continued or it would just crash to Desktop and the game crash report window would pop up.
This took me quite some time to figure out. I'm on PC NA so this is what I did:
Turned off all Addons. Started the game. Ran great, zero issues. Log off character to character selection screen and turned Addons on but made sure out of date Addons were off.
Still had game crashes with updated Addons running. Hmmm....so I went through and deleted every out of date Addon and it's associated library and the lua files in Saved Variables.
Started game again and still had crashes. But now that I had removed a lot of fluff from the two folders it was much easier to figure out what was happening. Eventually I found I had several Addons that were doing similar functions and interfering with each other. I sure don't remember what they were but I think they were Chat Addons. I removed them and no issues since.
I've had only two crashes in over 2.5 years. And those were a year ago, and at that point I wasn't sure it was anything to do with the game. I removed a couple of addons I didn't really need, no more crashes. I don't know that it was specifically those addons, but I haven't had crashes at all since. PC platform btw, and I play on both NA and EU - NA off-peak, EU on-peak.
Came back a month ago. No crashes at all. I don't remember any before that, and I was in the beta. There must have been a couple but I don't remember them.
I had a few problems running dungeons right after Markarth came out, and one in a trial (but we were doing a fun run where all 12 of us wore Maw, so it may not have been on their end lol) but that seems to have been fixed. Haven't really had any issues since that lich bug got fixed.
Zero CTDs or freezes in over a month. Mostly overland questing for leveling alts. But, my frame rate drops down to 13-15fps just in auridon for some reason. Skywatch is the worst site so far. 🤷🏼♂️

We tried to farm Stone Garden today. I crashed once, the dd crashed once and then another dd crashed. Gave up, went to eat something, got back in the game a few hours later, qued for random dungeon. FG II. At the second boss I crashed. When I got back, 2 other people crashed in the meantime while I was logging in. The leader disbanded the group because they were not coming back. I have disabled outdated add on/s a few days ago. Nothing has changed. As far as I am concerned, the game is in terrible state. I see for some it works which is even worst because if all had problems, maybe ZOS would have done something about it. Maybe. Since that is not the case, we have this. An unplayable game for some . Unlucky. Obviously they have no clue what is going on, or this would have been fixed a long time ago.
