The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • VibeOfNewVegas jdub2003 (@VibeOfNewVegas) reported

    I’ve been working on making a ridiculously broken mage character, mostly because I never completed a playthrough doing that despite it being my favorite Elder Scrolls game

  • JacqueY57339252 Jacque (@JacqueY57339252) reported

    @TESOnline Well I wish it was live for me....48GB download will take 48 hours! I have the latest disc why such huge downloads every few weeks? I love the game but please spare a thought for us Aussies who have non-existent service from Telstra!

  • ozarkghosthunte Mark Deatherage (@ozarkghosthunte) reported

    @pushsquare THIS is a HUGE disappointment! I love Elder Scrolls but am absolutely NOT a fan of X-Box. @BethesdaStudios has always had an issue with Sony & it’s consumers. I’m not really sure why. However it is what it is. I guess I’ll have 2 suck it up & get a X-Box console 4 just 1 game.

  • PineWik Bleak (@PineWik) reported

    @hrkgames All of the elder scrolls games were buggy but still brought much to the table. I never saw skyrim as bland. It's the combat that i have the biggest problem with.

  • Hatchetforce Hatchetforce (@Hatchetforce) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Great. Now fix the Black Screen for Skyrim Anniversary transfer saves on every single platform.

  • JohnColledge john (@JohnColledge) reported

    @TESOnline Fix the heavy attack bug

  • Br0kendesign Nike Gustafsson (@Br0kendesign) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline And now Bethesda!…fix the blackscreen problem and all off the other problems on all platforms!

  • konfetto_moon Konfetto (@konfetto_moon) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline When will you make the European servers work stably in the evenings, so that there are no periodic ping increases to 400+? Everything is in order with the Internet, in other online games there are no such problems

  • Stepaside15 Step'a'side (@Stepaside15) reported

    @TESOnline great! and fix the glitch after combat still in combat cant do anythink only shut the eso and start again thank you!!!!

  • KaticMakenna what is even going on here... (@KaticMakenna) reported

    @storyteller_kim @GameSpot It wasn't really bethesda's fault. They were bought by Microsoft oh, so now Microsoft has the say-so on any new games that Bethesda releases that's why the new Elder Scrolls game is going to be Xbox and PC exclusive honestly, I have no issue with console exclusives, my-

  • KaticMakenna what is even going on here... (@KaticMakenna) reported

    @1100theking @GameSpot I'm not mad either, granted I haven't really played any Elder Scrolls except online, the only issue I have with it oh, is the fact that the Elder Scrolls series as far as I know has never been a mutually Microsoft thing. To take a title that has been on other consoles and then--

  • CoolAsKimDeal CoolAsKimDeal (@CoolAsKimDeal) reported

    @jfmarinh @TESOnline This will continue to be an issue for as long as we, the players, continue to tolerate it. Kicking the fake tank from the group may be the only solution. That and reporting them.

  • TacticalGrace_ Michael: Virtual Photographer (@TacticalGrace_) reported

    @scootertooter7 Well here's hoping they learned some lessons from the Fallout 76 launch, and that Elder Scrolls 6 isn't a broken bag of crap at launch.

  • RealSevenSix ☢FalloutGuides™☢ (@RealSevenSix) reported

    All the people clutching their pearls over Elder Scrolls 6 being Xbox exclusive can piss off. No issues about the playstation exclusives? No mention how mods sucked for Skyrim and didn't even come out for 76 because of SONY. ES6 will be a lot better game not held back by Sony.

  • KABOOMDAGAWD Boom (jose) (@KABOOMDAGAWD) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Its still not working for me, on ps5 if I try to log in it will say can’t connect if I try again the game crashes. Every time

  • LoriPrch Lorip (@LoriPrch) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Still having constant 'UI Error' Spams on my screen, Ive lodged many tickets for thr same issue on Series X, why is this a tbing on 2021!! Please resolve once and for all. Horrible experience..again.

  • SaftyKuma SaftyKuma (@SaftyKuma) reported

    @AMagicalDuck @rockpapershot Nobody is except Microsoft. Not that I understand why you'd play an Elder Scrolls game on a console since you'll need a ton of mods just to fix the bugs but still.

  • KDogg3000Twitch KDogg3000Twitch (@KDogg3000Twitch) reported

    @warghasm @Puertorock77_ Since Xbox is losing this generation so far, I'm sure Bethesda will have no problem making less then 1/2 the money on Elder Scrolls 6, as it made on Skyrim. $200 million sounds like a lot but, if you look at why they were making for their big games, it's not so great. (2/2)

  • fakecountess Non 🇮🇪 🦊☘ (@fakecountess) reported

    Me, looking at my ancient work computer: "Will I get away with installing and playing The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on this during work hours, or?...." No I do not have a problem. Sssh.

  • Robbiew98285006 Robbie woods (@Robbiew98285006) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline When are you gonna fix the black screen issue with skyrim some of us want to be able to play the game we bought some people even bought it twice with your stupid AE so when can we expect a patch for this?

  • CanYouFlyB0bby The Wanderer (@CanYouFlyB0bby) reported

    @TESOnline The lag on console is a joke

  • Troop3r3lla Anna⁷ (@Troop3r3lla) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Can't log in on PC, no specific error code just "An unexpected internal error has occurred."

  • Mage43627661 Mage (@Mage43627661) reported

    @rdmetz @jameswe81795877 @IGN Like I said, I don’t care if MS make Elder Scrolls Xbox exclusive. I don’t blame them, and like you said Sony have done it with a couple of their IP’s. My issue is the uncertainty. It hasn’t been officially announced as an Xbox exclusive yet, although it has been heavily implied.

  • rikytikitavi Human (@rikytikitavi) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Please fix the black screen glitch for Anniversary. I know all of you are working on it but the fix is easy. The mod author to “Lucien” already fixed it. All you need to do is allow the mods more time to load in. If an amateur modder can find and fix it within hours, so can you.

  • RhogarTheDM RhogarTheDM (@RhogarTheDM) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline WHY ARE YOU TELLING US ABOUT MAINTENANCE BULLSHIT! YOU SHOULD RATHER BE TELLING US WHEN THE BLOODY BLACK SCREEN GLITCH ON SKYRIM IS GONNA BE FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY!!!!

  • joseagu59410157 Jose aguiar (@joseagu59410157) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Wow even more lag wtf going on yesterday was great now update comes out and u get even more lag great work

  • Drexl_Raz Raziel (@Drexl_Raz) reported

    Playgrounds Fable will be a better RPG than Elder Scrolls 6. They are an infinitely more talented studio than bugthesda. Watch them make the deepest Fable game to date while Todd and Co make another broken POS pseudo RPG shallower than TES Online with N64 animations.

  • ebmrivitz Mark P (@ebmrivitz) reported

    @TESOnline can you please fix the chat window for stadia users? It's way too small that read.

  • SturgeonGenera4 Sturgeon General (@SturgeonGenera4) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Yay... yet another "maintenance patch" that literally does nothing except to add further glitches, freezing, lagging, and straight up booting from the server for doing nothing more than what the character's acquired "skills" are supposed to be able to do.

  • WilliamLiDC William Li (@WilliamLiDC) reported

    @Greenman89071 @Popehat Honestly it wouldn’t be an Elder Scrolls game if you couldn’t glitch it like this
