For those of you continuing to run into this issue, could you please clarify which model Xbox you're playing on? Thanks!

With no external HD but the build in from PS4 we have the following issues:

Assets loading late, this is especially problematic when the adds appears DURING a fight like the adds on VMOL twins or every trash pull in VSS where another wave spawn after the first one is dealt with.
Boss not animatic (i'm main tank) especially when "just pulled" if i pull Lokkestiiz, for example he wont move, cast ice cage, then animation of ice cage will appear (delayed) while he's actually breathing on me. Yolnahkriin on the other hand does an invisible HA and then spits fire from his nostrils (his mouth is shut and he's just watching me lol) for the first time.
Sometimes skills not appearing at all or hitting you BEFORE the animation/telegraph happened.
Many mech-related debuff are not visible anymore since this patch. Baneful mark and Yolnahkriin stacking fire debuff from his ranged LA for example are now invisible on your debuff bar.

This is very bad for everyone who tries trifectas on consoles as. many times, the deaths happen for a technical issue and not a player one.

Also it's a barrier for prog groups, take VSS Yoln HM fire atro: if the tank can't see them ASAP (because they don't even load in his screen) he can't chain them that quick so DDs will have less time to nuke those down before they go enrage wiping ppl around.

Can't we just have options to deactivate some graphic thing on consoles like shades, grass, light, reflections etc?

ATM we are using the skeleton polymorph in every serious trial as it gives the client some breath but such options would work WAY BETTER since they would affect enemies/items/NPC and other ppl alike. You should be aware of this issues by now and also you probably noticed that many PC players change the INI file because of this... we cant edit it but build in options would not require much work from you...

@ZOS_GinaBruno any update on this issue? It's been a long time since anything was said on the matter, and we've had no indication of a timeline. We appreciate the initial responses and knowing that the team is looking at it, but radio silence since then makes it feel like it's going to be a long time before we see any semblance of a fix for something so debilitating.

This was in a patch notes to be fixed, but yeah, it's almost worse this patch. Seems the adds are taking even longer to show up. I'm beginning to lose faith in the accuracy of patch notes...

Where do you see it in the patch notes? I see no mention of adds not spawning in at all https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/570826/xbox-one-patch-notes-v1-23-2-0

EDIT: if you mean a previous set of patch notes, the majority of this thread is a discussion of the issues remaining after that patch. It's still a massive issue - we've heard from the team about their knowledge of it, but nothing since.

Im still just baffled that theres no hot fix 5 weeks later atleast for the invisible ads in trial portion of this game never mind everything else thats broken

Schiszophrenia · April 2021

Still not working on console. Fix it please I want to do trials with my guild again

rossi789 · April 2021

Is there any news on a fix? It looks like there is no maintenance planned for this week so are we to expect a further week of a broken game?

p00tx · April 2021

Last time this happened when I was on Xbox, we got stuck with it for an entire patch before we saw a fix. Buckle up boys and girls...

Hillier11 · April 2021

The game is still broken nearly 2 months on, roster history, trial mechanics and guild stores just to mention a few things.

Lucozade85 · April 2021

Getting to a point where it's putting me off playing. Very close to cancelling ESO+ until this is resolved.

Hillier11 · April 2021

Agree completely ^^^

Jakengard · April 2021

@ZOS_GinaBruno does this apply to the invisible adds issue also, since there's no incremental patch? Absolutely ridiculous that we're being forced to wait months and months for a fix for an issue you introduced clearly without testing, since you're apparently sourcing your QA from the community on this thread. I don't care about availability of the crown store or even whether you take the server down for a few days in a row, just fix the game for goodness' sake

EDIT: wording

Ishtarknows · April 2021

Pc complains Glenumbra was broken and server is taken offline within a couple of hours. We get to wait a whole patch for a fix. 2 months. Ridiculous

DreadDaedroth · April 2021

Are we console players lesser customers?

Well, I think the sales for the new chapter on console will undoubtably reflect the players frustration with the continued bugs and now this announcement.

If someone hasn’t preordered it already, why would they want to do so now?
