@ZOS_Kevin

Eva13 · April 7

Yes, it dead again.

SolarRune · April 7

Yeah PCEU seems to be struggling ALOT at the moment - multiple kicks of alot of people according to my guilds one about 5m ago and just again now

Tyralbin · April 7

Same managed to get past queue but now in white screen of death. Waiting for program to respond.

ApoAlaia · April 7

Was kicked out 8 mins ago.

Logged in again, queue cleared, but ping was like 500+ (I usually get 40-50 ping).

Then kicked out again.

ApoAlaia · April 7

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_Kevin sorry for the ping but think PC/EU is throwing a wobbly again.

Not sure about PC/NA, I have no chars there.

Rufusstan · April 7

Got disconnected as well. then had a 4 min login queue. Once back in I got dumped again less than a minute later with the error try again later message

Torzaman · April 7

Yes, the server is really stable.

nightbringer1993 · April 7

the queue now is 28 mins

ElysaDjinn · April 7

I was also disconnected. Closed launcher, opened it, attempted launch; been in a 3+ hour queue for 10 minutes, with the stated time going down in fits and starts - but the stated time is now increasing again

maryjane1412 · April 7

same , our entire group crashed. i think its a server wide crash

nightbringer1993 · April 7

I just got back into the games, but that doesn't mean it won't happen again today

ApoAlaia · April 7

I'm back in too, this time with normal ping.

For now.

TomCat · April 7

Okay, I'm back in the game too.

Let's see how long this lasts…

I am giving zenimax team 9/10 points for all these changes and new additions to the game. I like the new road they have chosen to make ESO great "again" and I hope they keep on good work.

But!...

The real problem this game faces are the servers and how they manage the maintenance of this game. Simplest way to put it: Your servers can't handle it! You can't handle it! This at least on PC-EU side but I believe it is a common problem. It was some time ago when they said they have renewed the hardware and server issues should be fixed and latency issues too. That was not how it went. I do not know the real situation concerning the servers, that is only for the company people to know. But I do understand somewhat these IT-things and I can tell that this is not acceptable situation. We the customers are suffering too much for latency issues, server crashes, maintenance downtimes, login ques... Too much taking in note that the year is 2026. I would not lay blame, but I wouldn't be amazed to learn if they choose to "cheap out" on server hardware. I know they are costly to keep up, but certainly this game makes money for the company.

I mean, other similar games like ESO works without such problems. Every game has some, but not on this scale.

We are also expecting that this new road of ESO will lure in more players and I can see at least on twitch numbers that the interest towards ESO has risen comparing to later years. How will these servers endure the possible rise of this wanted activity boost when it is already struggling. I would like to see an honest post from the company about this matter and how they are going to fix the issue, because that is more than clear, we have an issue.

Was able to log in again eventually, though game appears to be somewhat unstable with many lags and stutters.

Hrolthar · April 7

I got kicked. Xbox EU though

fizl101 · April 7

Ps eu having issues too with lag going to disconnects

marcbf · April 7

PC EU and also having problems logging in.

TBH I would like to know why ZOS cannot move "the server" into the Azure Cloud. Performance not good enough on VMs?

KapiteinBoterham · April 7

LET ME INNNN

Probably money.

Hosting ain't cheap and even though they are part of MS they are not going to get resources allocated 'for free'.

Getting the servers to work properly as VMS is likely to require changes to the code, I doubt is a matter of imaging them and then spooling up the image, which again means... money.

Maybe if they can sell the idea to MS as 'part of Copilot' they might listen /s

ivaylo.krumoveb17_ESO · April 7

The problem we face on PC EU can't be solved by simple transition to Azure Cloud. EU servers are in a kind of slave mode. The master character data base is in the US and they beam your char across the ocean when you try to log in. As a result we have login problems every time that link becomes unstable.

smallhammer · April 7

Only 4h 27 mins wait time. And here I thought it was a long queue to log in today..

robwolf666 · April 7

XBEU is playing up as well, getting constantly rubber banded (right term for being pulled back to a previous position?), and now frequent disconnections.

Paramedicus · April 7

please feed the hamsters

The server probably can't deal with 80% of the population being in Wrothgar, Hew's Bane and Gold Coast running around like crazy people murdering anything that moves for the "kill 1000" tome challenge...

KapiteinBoterham · April 7

freespirit · April 7

Very popular event + new weekly Tome challenges today = Too many players.

The BIG question that needs addressing is exactly how many is too many??

I got that done yesterday. Surprisingly not as many people around as I thought there'd be. Guess they didn't see it immediately. 😏
