After entering the password, the loading screen appears and it stops loading. I can't get to the character selection.

    I have the same issue. I enter my credentials at login, then it switches to the "loading" screen, with the circling dragon down at the right, but after a short while, the animation stops and nothing more can be done.

    The ESO process is still doing something, since it's using a bit of CPU.

    I actually just got a "Disconnected from server" message just now, on my 4th try, when I let it run for a while, so perhaps it's just a lot of people trying to log in?

    But still not sure it isn't related to some graphical issue, will play around with those some...

    Update: 5th try it just worked, I didn't change any GFX settings, so might be all the people trying to log in for the new content...

    I even tried to restart and login again, got a short 15 second queue, but then I was in again. Only advice I can give is wait on that screen, if it's doing something in the background which needs to be finished, and try again in a short while...

    Perhaps one of the reasons for this is that everyone is logging on all their characters on all their accounts to get the new achievement feature.

    But there are other things that is slow or broken as well. Like Guild Banks and Merchants. Those are very very slow atm.

    If these are bugs or just people "hammering" the servers, only the devs know...

    PC EU.
    I just installed patch, closed launcher, started launcher again, closed it. Both times it showed me Play.
    Started game without launcher, game crashed without notice in loading screen. Submitted bug report.
    Gave the game another try - and stuck on loading screen for 10 minutes or more...

    I hate new patches and usually wait, but it's 18 hours after the patch was put live, so...

    Please fix it!

    PS. I'm running game on optical fiber cable 600Mb perfectly stable and rocket fast.

    Same issue, PC NA.

    I hear the character select behind the loading screen. I have a flame atronach mount and I hear it firing up. It's like the loading screen just gets stuck and you can't get around it. The logo is not spinning in the corner. I hear the music, when I try PC EU I hear the sounds of character creation. I just can't see it. I only see the loading screen before character select.

    Also can not login. Sometime I just get the circling icon and other times it tells me I have no internet connection (not true), or I get a message saying I have been dropped to the lobby. Bit messed up.

    On PC. Was in game with just a little lag but my character went to the door to the Dark Brotherhood's Sanctuary and it stayed on the loading screen for five minutes. I figured something was wrong, so I used Task Manager to shut game down and rebooted my PC. Now I just can't get in. I've gotten error messages about already being logged in, about something to do with the Lobby, or no message, just stuck on loading screen for over 8 minutes now.

    I keep getting the queue message, when it counts down it just stays at 1 second. if I exit that and click login again, it takes me back to the countdown.

    I got in at one point, even loaded a character, but then was immediately kicked out, and got a message that my account was already logged in.

    It's weird... I was able to log in earlier today and was playing for over a couple of hours.

    I'm on PCNA

    I'm just having trouble KEEPING a server connection. if I try to swap characters, I get disconnected, then it takes FOREVER to get back in.

    Also, while in game, the lag in the guild banks, guild stores, and other such things is sooooo bad. getting "waiting on previous request for a full minute, deposit one item, then waiting on previous again for a minute.

    Edit: this did not seen to be happening with my main account (thru steam) the issue only started thru my non steam account at approximately 7pm Eastern. Interesting that it happened once prime time started, on the non-steam client. wonder if it's related

    I was actually in the game earlier PvPing (which was freezing up randomly - unsure if that's related) and then went to switch characters and got an infinite load screen. Shut the game down, tried to start it back up and now it keeps putting me in a queue, timing out and telling me I'm already logged in.

    I was logged in till 1720 tonight and then went to get foods. Now it won't load me in.
    I can after several tries get to my character select but if I select a character I'm stuck in perma load. I am watching my character age while it says Logging in, Requesting character load...

    I hope Argonians age slower than other races because I'll be a pile of bones soon.

    PC-NA as well. I too get to the character loading screen, but my character never loads, and after a couple of minutes, it boots me to the login screen and says my character is already logged in. I get the occasional infinite queue also, and have to stop and try to login again.

    I had no trouble logging in from work some 4 hours ago, but now I can't get into the game from home.

    EDIT: Now I can't even get to the character loading screen. It's just an infinite Requesting Login, or I get to the queue and then lose lobby connection. It's all over the place each time I try to get in game. Seems like the account servers need their hamsters awakened.

    EDIT 18:36 PDT: Finally was able to get in game. But zone, delve, housing, etc. load times are still rather lengthy.

    Exact same issue thing here. I managed to log once ... on the wrong character. Now it takes forever on Requesting character load... and either I'll get disconnected for inactivity, or "losing connection to lobby".

    Having the same issues on PCNA as well. If I do manage to get to character select and try to log in a character, it just remains on a loading screen forever and never actually lets me into game.

    +1 to 4 or 5 of the exact symptoms being reported above, and currently stuck at the "request character load" screen clocking ad infinitum.

    Yup, I've been there about 5 minutes now. Haven't gotten kicked out saying I'm already logged in, but I'm expecting that any moment.

    It's 6:03 P.M. PST. I am on PC/NA and I am having the same problem. Have restarted my computer 2xs now. Everthing but ESO works fine.
