243 Results on "Cyrodiil Crashes" - Is this being worked on??

I have to admit, it's better than it was at launch. But still, each time there's a large battle, there's a 60% chance I'll crash. When I die and have to hit "E" to respawn, it's roughly a 90% chance I'll crash to desktop during the loading screen.

To make things worse, when I'm on siege and want to type a chat message, I can't get back on my gear, and no, it's not that someone took it over or anything. I just have to leave a 86% treb wherever I placed it and make peace with the fact that I wasted 1800 alliance points for 5 minutes' worth of trebbing/cata (1200).

Had to abandon 2 catas and 1 treb a few minutes ago before, yep you've guessed it, CRASHING, AGAIN.

NA "Megaserver" - Bloodthorn.

PLEASE, for the love of all that is holy, DO something about this problem because it's frustrating as hell! I LOVE PVP, but bit by bit I'm losing my soul. I fear all this increased swearing is really decreasing my already 0% chance of entering heaven someday, plus my neighbors would appreciate not hearing swearwords every 20 minutes.

    Well are other people experiencing this, or just you? If its more or less just you, well the problem is on your side. If its a game problem many will experience it, if its a problem on the user end, very few will experience it. If its more or less just you, well, you have a problem...
    Not trying to be mean, I am just saying. In games like this many problems people experience is not game related, its computer related.

    You read the title of the thread, right?

    PC and connection speed more than capable. As I said, it's much better than it was at launch, but the crashing is still a major issue. Today was the first time I experienced the siege gear issue, but the crashing happens all the time, prime time or not

    It's grouping that crashes. Don't group and you won't crash.

    It's grouping that crashes. Don't group and you won't crash.

    Then tell me, how can I go there with my guild and play together? I don't see their names, I have no idea who is who, but if I create a group, the half of them crash. Seriously that is your solution? Not something like "fixing" the problem? It's such a basic feature in games (grouping) and I don't see any fixes, not even in the future patch notes. Why? It screwes the whole pvp...

    What are your pc specs? Sounds to me like another thread where the users pc is junk and they're blaming the game. 200 others experiencing the problem? Probably 200 other people with junk ass systems

    I don't think everyone from my guild have a crappy pc... Btw that's my topic I started:

    "In the weekend I organized a pvp rush with my guild and we had crashes and bugs a LOT of times, which made it almost unplayable. :( Sadly as it seems like these problems are not it the "known bugs" thread, even if was reported several times already. Here's a list of them:

    - entering Cyrodiil causes sometimes endless loading screen

    - inviting people to large group causes other goup members game crashes - and this happens ALWAYS! 100% (sometimes 10-12 ppl...)

    - entering a dungeon with a large group causes other group members game crashes (80-90% of the time)

    - relogging problems after the crash (60-70% of the time)

    - group leader disappears or randomly switches to someone... in a 24 player group reinvite everyone and deal with the crashes again...well it's annoying

    Please, fix these problems ASAP... if they wouldn't exist, Pvp wouldn't be such a pain in the... "

    Grouping has been broken since 2013. The only fix is to not group. The crash is caused by people in the group not being in the same zone as you (for example, if somebody in the group goes to PVE or into a Cyrodiil dungeon). If the group leader is willing to hawkeye it, they can keep an eye on the group membership and boot anybody who leaves Cyrodiil.

    It was reported in beta and it's been reported very very often on these forums. Zenimax have never responded. I did manage to get an answer about it on the Reddit Q&A session - they're aware of some group issues apparently.

    Unfortunately there's many broken things like this (e.g. hanging infinitely at loading screens into Cyrodiil) which have been there since beta which just aren't fixed.

    I only have the possibility of crash when I suddenly met a huge zerg or approaching a crowded wall. Then I lowered my setting to medium but kept SweetFX on, and the crashing incidence has dropped significantly. I still get it from time to time but much reduced

    The main problem is the grouping and yes, I want to go with a large group! And it's really time to fix it, cause people are leaving AvA already because of these issues...

    2 More crashes this morning after making this post. Big battles were fine, but when I return to the bounty board and wanna turn in, crash. The other time just now when I was accessing the woodworking table, crash, before I could do anything. I was not in a group on either occasion.

    And no "smosti" with your "clever" remarks, I wouldn't consider a $35k system a "junk ass system", as you put it

    OP, if you're crashing outside of groups you probably have other issues or bugs going on.

    Sounds like you might have some sound/gfx driver issues. Try updating those and see if the problem continues.
