Endless loading? PC EU

Lugaldu · June 2021

Is it me or a more widespread problem? Tried several times to login, but loading just goes on and on...

Another month, the same problem (after patch) - I cannot come to the character selection screen, just loading until PC crashes.

Is it just me?

An add-on may be causing issues with your character screen loading. We have two help articles linked below that go over how to uninstall or remove add-ons that you're currently using. Running a repair through the launcher can help as well.

I dont´use add-ons, but thank you for the help!

It does take a very long time after a patch. I can usually hear the entire blackwood soundtrack before my character loads in. I think having SSD is more important than ever, because ESO's loading screens are getting longer with every update. And no, I don't use addons either. Not sure why they keep trying to pass the blame to addons.

Hello,

I have a similar experience. I use no addons, and after I select a character to play there is an endless loading screen. It seems that it doesn't matter what area is trying to load (tried a char in vivec, in Denshaanm even in Hew Bane).

The majority of the times after trying to load the character, the client drops me to the login screen with the error message connect to the server timed out (Before starting blaming my int connection, I run a 1GBit/s fiber, so it seems that response back from the server takes forever)

Worths to mention that I experience the same behavior on different locations on both Mac and PC versions.

Listed below are two help articles to help with the timeout error depending on if you're using Steam or the ESO launcher.

What can I do if I receive a "Connection to server timed out" error after installing The Elder Scrolls Online through Steam?
What do I do if I get an error stating "Login Error: Login Timeout" when logging into The Elder Scrolls Online?
