Constant crashes since Maintenance

Since yesterday i experience constant crashes after the maintenance. I don't even have to do anything and just stand there and look pretty. I disabled all Add-Ons, game still crashes. Went into nSS and nCR and crashed multiple times. Today i went into vMOL with my guild and crashed constantly. This is worse than living with the block bug. What is going on? I had to leave the trial and basically the game is unplayable. I verified the local files, everything fine apprently so i opted for a complete fresh install. But this can't be it. I am loosing all confidence and trust in ZOS that they can maintain a playable game. With every patch the situation gets worse and worse.

    I'm surprised there's not more threads regarding this or more replies to yours. I've been experiencing the same thing in the same time frame. Disabled addons, like you, and I'll receive ESO error screen for something as simple as moving the camera around.

    Same here, tried for a couple of hours yesterday, sometimes I can log in without getting errors (mostly 200), but when I can the game stutters and I crash within 1-3 minutes. The issue persists today as well. Tried repairing and all other things of course, no clue what can be wrong unfortunately.

    I had “your game is corrupted please delete and reinstall” I did so 3 times, the third time I left it on sleep mode (doubt that helped) and deleted old games to make sure there was enough room for the game to use. So delete and reinstall overnight, deleted those games you’ll never play and it should be fine.

    That happens if the process doesn't end and still runs in the background. You can either kill it with the task manager or by rebooting. And no, deleting other games does not influence the crashes. They have no relation, unless a game developer would be so stupid to replace certain system DLLs or starts game processes when Windows boots. It would be like saying if you take a full jerry can out of your cars boot, the car runs better. The same idiocy with cleaning your temp folder and cache. This is said only by people who don't know how an OS works.

    How did you remove the add ons? Deleted them completely or just disabled them?

    If you just disabled them either go and delete them completely or create a backup by moving the add on folder to a safe location, the same you do with the saved variables folder. re-create empty folders. Start your game and go through the initial TOS and whatever else. The ZOS specific configuration files will be newly setup. and you should have 3 files now in Saved variables. Test if the crashes persist. If yes check the game files if on steam and let steam do its magic to repair them. Check again if crashes persist. If yes completely delete the game from your PC and make sure that nothing is left. Then re-install.

    Unfortunately the safest way is to re-install each add-on afresh. But that is also a good option to clean your add-ons and get rid of the ones you don't really need.

    And the final question: Is your game just crashing or did or does this start to happen right after maintenance?
