In-Progress Known Issues

Nostromo74 · May 2014

At Vet7 in Grahtwood (my character is pact) the Questline for me still broken after entering the cathedral to confront the mayor the quest marker jumps to "talk to Sheogorath" but he might be in the catacombs where i cant get in.

I have abandoned the quest many times and it always skips the confront the mayor step.

Hire me to ban bots and spammers.... You can pay me in online time...

They're back and in greater numbers than ever. This is just the one area of Hollow city, there seems to be atleast 50+ more stuck or running around the way shrine there. I really wish GM's would come to this area with the ban hammer. And I really wish they would let us know whether they just lock out the character or if they completely ban the account. I'd assume banning the account would be the easiest way.

Please let me know if ESO is working on fixing the map compass...
- The game compass actually gets stuck from side to side quite a few times and I'm force to quite the game and reload in order for it to work.

This happens all the time in Cyrodiil, but never in PvE areas. I think the color coded alliance icons might throw the system off.

yeah... so?... what's your point? a game bug still needs fixing no matter where or how it happens, I only wish to know if ESO support is working on fixing it.

You've never worked in a software-related field, have you? His point was clearly not that the bug doesn't need fixing. He was obviously trying to narrow down when and how it occurs, which makes it easier for the developers to replicate it. A bug that can't be replicated isn't going to be worked on, because there's no way to narrow down the cause of it, and without knowing the cause you don't know what to fix.

_______

And so?... What is your point?.. If it were my job, I wouldn't be asking in the first place, Zenimax would be paying me for doing their job and you don't see me asking for money do you?

My point is that what he was saying was completely relevant, and it was very silly of you to jump to the conclusion that he was implying that they shouldn't bother fixing the bug. My point is that you should think things through before you post, because you'll spend less time looking foolish if you do.

Well, EXCUUUUSSSEEE ME!... LOL!, never heard "Mind your own business" and as for "Relevant".. the only thing relevant to me is Not what the cause of the bug or how it occurred, all I asked in my original post was... that I want to know if ESO knows about this game-bug & if they're working on fixing it, so... basically... a Yes or No answers from ESO and certainly not to you.

/reloadui no need to relog.

Quicker way is to push windows key, then click on eso icon in taskbar.

As for cause - my best guess is reloading multiple times ie continual dying, enter/exit dungeons, teleporting via wayshrines, seems to create the bug the most often. It is not a physical bug, the compass is not actually stuck, it just looks stuck to the client. Refreshing the screen, by either tabbing to desktop and back to game or using /reloadui will fix it.

This is also the fix for spamming keys bug, where you cannot fight or press keys to attack with 5 key slots/use ultimate/potion.

It also fixes the "stuck midswing" bug. However it doesn't fix the spam punching bug in swamp, where you appear to be continually punching the air, to fix this you need to either relog or use an item ingame, a lockpick chest, a resource item, iron, wood, herb etc.

This will also fix the cosmetic glitch where your staff has a continual glow effect and templars will see continue healing effect link to corpses.

6 Nasty foul cosmetic bug - workarounds.

As for fixing the slow load screens - I'd run background checks for malware tbh. Clear cache, could also try verify integrity of game files, hard drive/ssd defragmentation.

I should work for zos but they probably don't pay enough.

Main Q] Weight of three crowns,enter Stirk *no script/npc trigger*
heres my frustration I have been with TESO since the beta am on PTS server also my char is lvl 47 am on the above quest. Now this is NOT a flame to u support guys cause u guys r AWSOME. but my level of frustration with not being able to get to coldharbor zone increases every day. I have numerous tics on this with u guys then I received an answer the other day that blew my mind...I have to wait till the next patch for the fix to this quest... seriously? this is the main quest and ur waiting to fix? please guys don't do this! please fix now give ppl like me a fighting chance to level in a quest zone rather than PvP where u get ganked by all v1 and above players I am begging!!

anyone else sees no difference in speed when picking up the passive hasty retreat of the bow line when dodging?

Works for me. Needs to have a bow equipped.

Pack Leader still seems horribly broken. When this morph is chosen you have trouble staying in Werewolf form and if it breaks quickly you are normally bugged and can't switch weapons, get on a horse, etc..

For most folks - WW actually is horrible when you compare it with Vampire which is always available. I think this whole tree needs to get looked at for viability.. because right now outside the passive Ultimate Gain, the tree is lacking due to the short time period you can stay in WW (even with Devour) and prohibitive Ultimate Cost.

thork · May 2014

ALL passives stop working when you die. I have seen threads complaining about stealth speed passive dropping; however, after extensive testing, my guild and I have confirmed that this bug in fact effects ALL of your character's passive traits. From 5 piece armor passives bonuses, to spell cost reductions, to stamina regen passives, to.... you get the idea.

This means that after EVERY death in PvP you must relog (and then risk dealing with infinite loading screens into Cyridol) or play with a highly gimpped toon. Reload UI does nothing to fix it and loading into a new zone only works about 50% of the time. This is a game breaking bug that should be #1 on the 'to fix list' as a character's passives make up the majority of a build.

To clarify, every time you die (even if you're revived) ALL of you character's passives stop working. This also occurs intermittently when teleporting from keep to keep (i.e. using the transport shrine).

We love the game; however, this bug is a huge issue for the hardcore PvP community and is making my guild and myself question the $15 subscription fee.

I second that.

Any update on the combat bug where you cant use any abilities unless you go to the menu screen and go back? This has been around since beta and I have not seen it mentioned anywhere. it is not fun when you go to cast a heal and your character does not respond at all.

Finally! I've been looking for answers to this everywhere. I've likewise experienced this since Beta on every character I have (from 30 Nightblade to V5 Templar). I've submitted bug reports as well but in absence of any feedback and not seeing it in the forums lead me to suspect it was somehow....me? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. It may sound stupid but it's actually cost me fights and caused wipes (tank / healer). many thanks in advance.

idk · May 2014

This thread has not been updated in a few weeks, even though we have been told to check this thread for known issues. It also has merely had a very small number of the known issues in game, though known issues and those that ESO feels they actually have the tools to fix may be two different lists.

In short. ESO is no longer using this "official thread" so we probably should stop as well.

theyancey · May 2014

I am having an issue with one of my toons. I get stuck in combat mode. I can't loot or interact with anything. I miss out on boss drops. The only recourse is to log out and back in. That means that I usually find myself in the middle some highly irritated mobs who rather quickly make me dead.

It happens to me too from time to time, for some reason Rolling backward seems to fix it. :S

Werewolves are not always in were form, where once turned, a vampire is always a vampire.

Fire damage and low regen of health can be a handful for a vampire in certain zones.

Kenny_McCormick · May 2014

i have 2 issues that should be looked at aswell.
1. Eidetic Memory (the unlock u get AFTER completing mages guild questline) wont show crafting books that i have unlocked ( i have 16 out of 22) thus i can't read them. they are greyed out. all the others work fine tho. just fine
2. the WW Ultimate doesn't stay charged. when i get it to like 10%+ it then goes back down to 0% in about 2 or 3 minutes and i have to re-earn it. THUS i cant level my WW. no other Ultimate resets itself at so short a time i dont think

Werewolves still have the same weaknesses in humanoid form, poison and fighter's guild moves. It affects us just as much, but we can't defend ourselves as easily as vampires. At least, not the way werewolves are now.

EU server
Character location:the demi plane of Jode
"The moonlit path" seems bugged.(see picture)
First I saw some werewolf corpses but none respawned and people kept joining.
Till it was more like the Green Lady was tossing a party
(Image quality is drastically reduced in order to make it possible to upload)

Actually there might be something to the idea of great meetinghalls where all players are tossed together,perhaps with all kinds of minigames?

Update: managed to continue the quest just now,probably most are asleep..I think what happened is comparable with a temporary stroke for the server,too many people on the same quest.

The front page of this thread hasn't been updated since April 26. Is there any point having a thread stickied from the the community managers displaying known issues if it's not being regularly updated?

rabib499ub17_ESO · May 2014

Army of Meridia, still bugged, quest says to enter the chapel of light, when I do, I can't interact with the king or anyone. The quest marker is there, but nothing happens. Had this problem for a while, GM's abandoned the quest for me, tried again, no luck. Finally the patch to fix it, didn't work, same problem.

Good question isn't it? I would at least, like to know that ZOS is aware of the other many bugs. I've been reporting them, but all I get are automated answers >.>

During the quest "Castle of the Worm", Cadwell will stop dead in his tracks before opening the gate and prevent the quest from progressing.

Relogging didn't work nor did leaving the area and returning.

However, leaving the area and returning respawned all the enemies which allowed me to pull one to cadwell and force him into combat which did work

OldSmeller · May 2014

I noticed that the OP makes no mention of Server Side Latency and associated issues.

Either the hardware is nowhere the quality it needs to be or somebody has terrible optimization. The single most important thing right now should be preventing the server from slowing to a crawl.

This isn't some 14 year old's locally hosted WoW Private Server. This is a full fledged MMO, treat it like one and stop cutting corners.

Tipsy · May 2014

The choke point at moonlit path I posted about earlier might have something to do with optimization.Since now at these quiet hours there seems to be no problem at all with the quest,at busy hours there seems to be a chance so many players get tossed together that progression is impossible

7gonago7nrb19_ESO · May 2014

What is interesting to me:

One of the bosses in the desert "Alik`r Desert" still bugged.
One of the bosses in "Coldhourbor" still bugged.
One of the bosses in "Bangkorai" still bugged. Also in "Bangkorai" is not feasible to perform achivment 53 quests. I performed the maximum possible number, it is 46! Where the remaining 7 quests?

Since their failure came about 3 patches. And these are important things are still not corrected! How do you work there?

ZOS_GinaBruno · May 2014

Hey everyone, we're working on getting an updated Known Issues thread written up since this one is pretty out of date. We plan to publish this in the next day or so. In the meantime, we'll unsticky this one to avoid any confusion.

please fix the high traffic time server lag and the memory leak issue that builds up over time and turns my computer into sludge. everytime I restart the game its smooth as silk for 30 mins ( 5 mins in Cryodiil ) and slowly everything turns slower and slower until finally after less than an hour it is a slideshow( 10 minutes in cryodiil and its unplayable, it reminds me of my old Pentium 166 crunching away on everquest). once I quit the client my computer is stunned for about 2 minutes then it goes back to normal and I do it all over again. Its like clockwork, restart fun game for 5 minutes then degrades to slideshow, sound starts bugging out and then crash or unknown error.
This is completely unacceptable and im sure im not the only one experiencing this. its been worse and worse day by day, I used to be able to play 8-10 hrs in PvE with no restart, now im restarting every 30 mins

Having the same issue, among a few others. I can take quest bugs and I can deal with broken abilities for a while. I'm even okay with some lag (I know I don't have the best internet connection). Hell, even the bots are kinda tolerable now that most dungeons seem to be clear of them! What's really, really getting to me is the lag-freeze-error loop I seem to be stuck in.

I'm not playing a game most of the time, I'm playing with an interactable slideshow, and a dreadfully slow one at that (fps of 0.1 (!?!?) in cities, I sh*t you not). On top of broken abilities, the lag issue is so horrendous that I'm actually too embarrassed to group up. Last time I tried a group dungeon my party members had to practically carry me through it, I was so beyond useless. (Kudos to them though, doing a 4-player dungeon with only three people and no tank! It must have been amazing, I wish I could have watched.)

I did beta. I was in early access. I was playing when the floodgates opened for everyone. It was never this bad. Getting a consistent 14 fps in dungeons, 4.0 fps in open-world PvE, and 0.1 fps in cities, I must be the most tolerant gamer alive. I keep wondering when I'll deem this unplayable.

Ugh, I could go on and on about the issues in my game but /rant. I'm only frustrated about it because I really like this game and I just want to be able to play.

I am having the same issues with lag. :-\ It's really making me think there's a memory link on the client, because it's fine for about a half hour to maybe an hour, and then it just starts...eating everything. My whole computer seems to freeze up and I'm getting like, 1fps in cities. I've tried turning my settings down but it's not doing anything. :-\

Puzzler · May 2014

Okay so I know folks have had this issue back in April and the Known issues states will be fixed in next Update (dated 4/25) but.....I can not progress past God of Schemes to go on to VT content. I have now beat Molag Bal 3 times and when it takes me to The Room of Colors I hear the voice but the tasks resets back to enter Cold Harbour. I am in The Room of Colors and can run around but there is nothing to interact with. I tried logging, nothing...I tried rebooting for kicks, nothing.....so at this point I am stuck like chuck. You can not abandon Main Quests either.....

When will this bug be addressed? I know it only happens from time to time. I have a buddy that had no issues and I have one that did.

Please advise.

snigernissen · May 2014

If you want details, then start reading the legit posts on the forums cause i really dont wanna waste more time writting them here.
