ISP not the problem. I'm online posting here; all my other online games launch fine. My guess, ZOS's new hardware still can't handle primetime traffic.

Well, I just logged right in again with no problems. PC NA, yes, prime time. Might have something to do with routing? Since I have crap satellite, I'm sure my routing is different from yours.

Just before log in probs, it kicked me out after screen freezing a few times.

Trying to switch characters and am stuck at the zone screen. Probably related.

Still can't get past the screens where the logos bounce around. I crash to desktop no matter what.

Everything ran fine until today's Crown Store update.

When I get to the character screen if I try to rotate the character it immediately becomes non responsive and CPU usage drops to 11%. The visuals are stuttering too, even when tested on minimum settings. I can only guess that it’s a graphical issue? Strange that I do not have that issue with my Steam account.

Having similar issues post crown store update, crash to desktop at login screen.

Have tried:
repair
reboot
graphic card driver update
remove addon folder
reboot router

I had the same problem about 10 hours ago (I was able to run the game without a problem the day before that). I installed a new copy of the game on a different drive and that worked - I was able to log in using that one, but I'm still not sure what the problem is.

There were no error messages. The first time the launcher loaded fine but when I clicked the 'play' button it greyed out and the game never launched. I shut it down and restarted and after that the launcher got stuck on 'loading' and never actually loaded (nothing appeared except the launcher background, no option to pick the main or PTS server, no advertising window, no play b button and no menu button so I couldn't even run a repair). I tried launching the game directly and the screen would go black for a second as if it was loading then it would go back to the desktop. I couldn't get any further than that.

@Alexsae - I use a Corsair mouse as well. I will do what you did when I get home. Thanks!

And old thread point out exactly the problem I have though I didn't updated my driver since a long time but I am in windows 10

"Hi, I'm experiencing exactly the same problem of the game screen either freezing although background music, SFX sounds and character control sounds like running or jumping still operate normally, OR the game outright crashing to desktop.

The freeze started occuring after I installed the February 2021 NVIDIA graphics driver update, was NOT solved after I later installed the latest March 2021 NVIDIA graphics driver update, and still persists. In fact it is so severe that at times the game freezes and/or crashes right at the login screen, to the point where I am completely unable to play ESO at all.

What is odd is that the problem seems to occur ONLY on Windows 10 OS, as I tested running ESO both through my regular C:/ installed Windows 10 OS, and also through a Windows 7 partition that I keep for emergencies, yet the Windows 7 launched ESO normally without problems.

Therefore the core of the problem lies either with the latest NVIDIA drivers being faulty OR with conflicting issues with the Windows 10 OS. Either way, please investigate this asap ! "


Iv'e updated my driver, the game now instantly crash on the bethesda logo and my workaroudn no longer work to get to the log in screen
