After patch, while loading, game minimizes itself. Sometimes it displays a black screen that just says "Elder Scrolls Online" in the top right. Can't bypass opening credits, and when the login screen comes up, nothing works. Can't type in password or select any options. Only option is to alt tab to close program.

    Similar issue. On my son's computer it works fine, but on my computer after I hit PLAY, I get a black screen with a revolving blue circle that never goes away. I renamed the usersetting file, renamed the Add On folder and the addon file. No luck. I then copied the Elder Scrolls Online folder from my son's computer to mine.... same problem.

    Could this be an issue due to it now defaulting to proper fullscreen instead of borderless window fake fullscreen?

    I had a bit of oddness when I first loaded up, I had to shut down my 2nd monitor using my graphics card control panel, then start up the game, then it worked ok. I was then able to alt-tab back out and re-enable my 2nd monitor. Edit to add: I only needed to do that the once, subsequent times whatever monitor settings I have worked OK, it was just that first time it caused an issue)

    Be aware, if you are using Nvidia Geforce, its "optimal" settings may be causing you to not be able to type since it thinks the old settings they had is safe.
