Games Crashes to Desktop after a couple of minutes

sharkclanb16_ESO
I was hoping that this would just be a PTS issue but it seems not.

Game launches fine, lets me play for around 2 minutes or so and then crashes to desktop with no warning or error log

Anyone else have the issue since patch?

Currently trying different array of settings to try and see what the problem may be.

Addons being off makes no difference before anyone asks ....

    Same, crashes after 1-2s now - managed to get to login screen after fresh reboot (it crashed about 30s after launch).
    Updated all drivers, disabled game overlays, uninstalled Razer Chroma, repaired client - nothing helps.
    And had the same problem with PTS client while the previous one worked fine...

    It crashed me already 2 times.
    I even turned off all addons to verify if it's addons fault.
    It still does ALT+F4 without my intervention.

    For me it "crashed" (more like alt+F4 on it's own without any error messages) like 4 times already.

    Hey everyone, please try disabling not just addons but libraries as well, and see if that helps?

    I turned off all addons & libraries using the "Add-ons: Off" option in the Menu and that does seem to have fixed it for me. I've been playing for about 20 minutes now, completing quests, changing zones, harvesting and everything has been OK. And I had been crashing every minute or so before doing that.

    I turned on the few add-ons that don't have library dependency, and no crash. It certainly looks like it's something in the libraries.

    Well ... it did. Back in the game ... all add-ons and libraries are off (ticked off)
    During the afternoon of Loredas, 6 Sun’s Dawn 2e578 a big piece of Aetherius fell to Nirn. It was the first major piece of Aetherius to fall on Nirn in more than five hundred years. It scattered around the world as millions of shards. It was rapidly documented by Lady Cinnabar of Taneth in her pamphlet Aetherial Fragments that "... when three shards meet, they re-form into a silvery prism by unknown process and confer the power unlocked by the merger to a nearby being." The Order of the Black Worm, commonly known as the Worm Cult, reappeared in Tamriel shortly thereafter and some of its members are avidly searching said shards.
    In the last week of First Seed 2e579, an arcane explosion occurred in the Imperial City — a night of storms, and trembling terrain. They named it the "Soulburst". That day Emperor Varen Aquilarios disappeared without a trace. His wife, Clivia Tharn, ascended to the Ruby Throne as Empress Regent under the guidance of the Necromancer Mannimarco. Ushering a time of increased instability within the Empire of Cyrodiil which finally grew into “The Three Banners War”.

    You can remove NodeDetection in Libraries (Harvest Map). It's seems to fix the game for most of people I know.

    I "reticked" all my add-ons. And 7 libraries did not reloaded by themselves, including NodeDetection. The game came back correctly. Thks vince52, the solution seems to have been found.

    I had the game freeze and crash twice while loading the character select screen immediately after logging in. As in: before I was able to even select a character and before I could possibly disable any addons or libraries. Both times the graphics for the character select screen didn't even have time to fully load before the game froze.

    I reinstated my addons & disabled NodeDetection. I'll come back & report if the game stops crashing.
