Hello there,
I'm making this so more people are aware.
Short answer - nVidia driver must have got corrupt , reinstalled driver ( selecting custom and clean install ) worked.
Long answer - yesterday for that 1-2 hrs the server was up I kept having the screen hang. Removed all add-ons and even deleted all the user files in "\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live".
Kept hanging.
Ran repair from the launcher - same thing
Verified files from Steam - same thing
removed certain files from the game directory and had repair redownload them - same thing
Updated the game and checked on another machine and my account logged in fine. ( after 9pm EDT )
So I tried to copy the game from the working machine and - same thing
Tried to create a backup in steam of ESO and we can't ? This is like the only game I have seen not allowed to "Create Backup" in steam.
Had to redownload the game, 94GB download then another 3-4GB from the launcher - same thing
Seen another thread in here about someone stating they always have to shutdown , reinstall nVidia drivers and it works for a while, then they end up rinse and repeating when updates come out.
So I downloaded the latest nVidia drivers and installed with clean install - game worked
Funny as Fallout 76 worked and any other game I tried, but ESO would hang.

DarrowLykos✭✭✭I have been having this problem for around 6 months now, when I re-install my drivers it will work again for a little while then go back to freezing and timing out to the login screen, sometimes it will CTD. I have also posted this in the Nvidia forums, but they seem to be broke for me now as every time I try to reply to my post it just repeats the last post someone else made under my name lol, anyhoo, I have tested this with multiple roll back drivers and its the same every time, load to character select, freeze until the game times me out back to login screen, if it does not crash I can then login fine. Tried with fresh installs of ESO as well with nothing else like addons etc etc. I posted about this before and got asked for a ticket number.0
