Infinite Loadscreens have persisted for over 3 months and the devs have done nothing.

CameraBeardThePirate · July 22

Title. BG Queues, trial loadscreens, and housing loadscreens have been bugged giving Infinite Loadscreens since mid April (potentially earlier than that). It took 2 months for the devs to even acknowledge the problem in regards to the BG Queues. Since stating nothing more than "We're investigating" over a month ago, they have given no further update and the bug is still ruining BGs.

This is ridiculous. This is quite literally a game breaking bug that crashes the client, and you've let it persist for this long.

Fix the problem ZOS. The BG community is hemorrhaging players because of this, and frankly, the community can't really afford to lose anymore players.

The people that experienced infinite loading screens when travelling from homes to trials would disagree.

Then even worse on ZOS's part.

Seriously ZOS, what are you doing to let a bug like this persist for 3 months?

I have had multiple times today had a loading screen that was endless.

Happened again after I waited a short time. Was never able to get into game.

There was an update in the patch notes on July 8 for the issue where being in your house when a group difficulty was reset would cause an endless loading screen (you would get stuck on your house loading screen or the trial loading screen):

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/662161/pc-mac-patch-notes-v10-0-7

This incremental has not been applied to console yet. According to the banner console will get an incremental tomorrow, and it should be substantially similar to 10.0.7.

In the meantime, the workaround for the group difficulty issue is not to be in your house when the difficulty is changed. You can be there before or after the change, but not the moment the instance is reset.

Whether this was the same cause for the BG loading screens and whether the same workaround and fix apply, I can't verify.

Considering the infinite loadscreens in BGs are still happening after that incremental on PC, either the fix didn't work or they're unrelated issues.

Hi there,

We are going to close this thread down because there is a thread already discussing the Battlegrounds Infinite Load Screens. To keep all of the feedback consolidated into one place, you may continue the discussion here.

Thank you for your understanding.
