Unable to login to PTS past the account login screen, anyone else?

Looked around the PTS forum for this issue and didn't see it mentioned, so if this is already known I apologize and hope you'll link me to the thread. :)

So, PTS. I can get to the login screen. I submit my user/pass, and go to the next load screen just before my character list. About five seconds later, the Ouroboros wheel stops spinning and the audio drops, but the EXE doesn't close. I have to Taskman it every time.

I know Loctavian (Twitch streamer) also has this issue, anyone else experiencing this?

    @ZOS_GinaBruno When I start it up, it crashes at or shortly before the login screen, and gives an Error msg:
    Error Code: E8FEEEFFFF7FFFF
    Application terminated

    Not crashing here, I just get to that splash screen before character selection and the Ouroboros wheel in the lower right stops spinning about five seconds later, then audio drops. At that point I have to taskman the app closed.

    Didn't get an error at all, same as what the OP said, submit login details then next loading screen the Ouroborus just stops moving. The game doesn't quit, just sits there idle. Currently reinstalling to see if that fixes the issue. Tried repairing and launching straight form the executable instead of the launcher, neither worked.

    User ID: @VVombat

    EDIT: After reinstalling, the issue was still there.

    Following on from this, I continued to try getting on just quitting the application and relaunching, eventually leading to me getting to the character selection screen, to then promptly be met by the application quitting and getting this error message.

    The only other thing I can think to mention is that the 1 character there has been force name changed by ZoS and subsequently needs me to rename change it before logging in.

    EDIT: Following the same process managed to get a different error message.

    I have an altogether different and rather strange issue with the PTS. I'm playing it for space reasons on my Windows 7 machine with 0patch for security, and both the live game and the PTS run the game absolutely normally without issue until I quit. At that point there are no problems either from the live game, but when I quit the PTS I can't open my Chrome browser, it just flashes on and off and I have to restart the machine or use a different browser. Has anyone else experienced this or anything similar?

    [snip] I know multiple people now that aren't able to play on the PTS, even with 3+ reinstalls it just continues to crash either right before or after the login screen. Most times without an error code even, and when it does they of course lead to nothing and are just an error code.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Hopefully y'all are able to figure this out. I know TeaTheKhajiit and my friend @The_Jster and many others are encountering this same issue.

    Yea we can't even get that far in with them haha. The ONLY time we've even made it to the login screen (Not even character select) was like twice out of 15 or so attempts.

    Been trying to get on for last hour. Keeps getting stuck on loading screen or crashing with "Application Termination" errors. Also when it crashes, music continues to play even though game is no longer on desktop or taskbar, only way to stop the music playing is using task manager to force stop or rebooting PC.

    Just a note @ZOS_GinaBruno I reinstalled my Nvidia graphics driver (even though it was the latest driver) seems to have fixed the issue and I am now able to log into the PTS.

    :( I had to go into task manager and close all instances of ESO including the launcher which still stayed running after I manually closed it. Then I did a clean install of the Nvidia driver and then restarted my PC. Not sure if that will work for you but it might, I hope it does!

    I tried a clean install of the nVidia driver, and tried starting the PTS client directly after restart. Same crash as before.
