The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Slaktus Erlend Grefsrud (@Slaktus) reported

    @ethangach Sincerely can't help but feel like people are completely failing to see the thing in front of them, though. It's an open-world Eidos Montreal-style Deus Ex-alike with Elder Scrolls skill system, a sprawling GTA-grade city and best-in-class writing and acting. What's the problem?

  • uv_searching Allen DeWitt (@uv_searching) reported

    @0period I've heard the term "Action RPG"? There always seems, to me at least, to be a disconnect between an "RPG" like an Elder Scrolls, and an "RPG" like Final Fantasy? One you have full-ish control over your character, the other you're playing someone's creation? Maybe just me? Dunno

  • themadbrewery The Mad Brewer (@themadbrewery) reported

    @DeathOfGeese Elder Scrolls Daggerfall had a storyline glitch that meant the game was unfinishable. They had to send out replacement CDs to everyone. It was massively expensive to **** up back in that era whereas now they can make their money early and it’s inexpensive to do patches.

  • FelsLeftyTakes Felicity (@FelsLeftyTakes) reported

    @mike10010100 Wait it was? I'm so confused. I'm playing it and it's not totally broken. It had glitches but like by comparison, it's way better state than fallout 4 or any elder scrolls at launch.

  • 3vil_3mpir3 Pxncho_Villa (@3vil_3mpir3) reported

    @TESOnline Are you going to hold off on releasing it until the rest of the game isn’t broken? You guys plowed ahead for markarth knowing what kind of state the game would be released in. Really frustrating paying for a monthly service when the game is bluescreens left and right.

  • flhmann4 sleeping rn (@flhmann4) reported

    @itsreallymetro Oh it’ll be unplayable And I think unplayable games at launch is ******* stupid And so I never by them Except I want elder scrolls 6 in all of its broken glory That’s the one baby Todd’s comin back

  • ElsonsoJannus Elsonso (@ElsonsoJannus) reported

    I am curious as to when the @TESOnline web people will fix their news pages so that images don't get washed out when hovered over, then return to normal when the mouse is moved out.

  • RobSh1985 Rob (@RobSh1985) reported

    @ESO_Danny I’ve had SO MANY problems with this game (physics, rendering, crashes). It’s a game you must complete everything before finishing the main story since you can’t continue like Assassin’s Creed, GTA, Elder Scrolls, or Fallout & that’s what turns me away from playing it.

  • PrototypeCube Tuvok the Dinosaur Hunter (@PrototypeCube) reported

    @roadkilldog it's partly elder scrolls broken but mostly two worlds broken

  • Syates0351 Scott yates (@Syates0351) reported

    @TESOnline They are already linked. There wasn't a problem getting the purple torch bug last time. Doesn't look like in getting double drops.

  • SilentWraith87 Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported

    @hotpepperice @screensceneco Yet it can. I mean there are idiots out there who still Bethesda are a good game developer and are just dying for Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 and that with all their games being broken on release AND Fallout 76.

  • FuturistDog Futurist Dog, Enlightened Centrist (@FuturistDog) reported

    @HabitualLevity I've had some issues, and only one crash, and I've been playing religiously. I had more issues with the Elder Scrolls games.

  • GideonGlow GideonGlow (@GideonGlow) reported

    @TESOnline So will Xbox users be able to log in anytime today or is it going to just keep crashing at sign in?

  • Ryan26390204 Ryan (@Ryan26390204) reported

    @TESOnline Fix the game, update next gen, stop driving crown crates down everyone’s throats

  • TaiyoggX xTAIYOGGGx (@TaiyoggX) reported

    @TESOnline Yay! Maybe everyone won't bluescreen, freeze, or lag out constantly now..........not

  • ranger_rapid Rapid_Ranger (@ranger_rapid) reported

    @IgorisJ @Dean_Wnchestr @CyberpunkGame criticism? No it's not, but should CDPR and cyberpunk be compared to worse studios and worse games? No they should not, as that's moronic comparisons. Guarantee when the new Elder scrolls game releases, the community will have to fix that too like they had to do every other game.

  • lizottematthew matthew lizotte (@lizottematthew) reported

    @TESOnline to anyone thinking about doinh VHra don't bother the down staires boss is glitched again...Me and a team just encountered the glitch were the boss permanently disappears

  • GatzoNumber1 Eric Scissorkick (@GatzoNumber1) reported

    @JabroskiiiXO @MatiBlaster @CyberpunkGame You did it for every elder scrolls game. Whats the problem with one more

  • Russell_Nairn Russell Nairn 🧛 (@Russell_Nairn) reported

    the developers clearly cared so much about this game and it does feel like it got hamstrung last minute by the higher ups it's never acceptable to expect the Elder Scrolls Defence where the game will be broken on release and fixed over time but I think that's what we have here

  • mordormia Mia Saikkonen (@mordormia) reported

    @SirberusLive @TESOnline The biggest issue here is that they make the game about collecting, yet cut off new players from half the content. The Hollowjack was the worst of all - it's needed for an achievement and in-game title, so they're just milking crowns.

  • Adigsradio ADigs (@Adigsradio) reported

    @Syniax @iamnotagamer @CDPROJEKTRED That's fine but hold EVERY developer accountable then. They aren't the first and won't be the last to ship a broken game. Elder Scrolls 4, Fallout 76, Rage, Halo MCC just too name a few. Can't pick and choose who to be mad at.

  • WackoMedic911 Wacko_ZA (@WackoMedic911) reported

    @archmule78 @IGN @KojiPro2015_EN CP2077 is only glitchy on old gen consoles....50hrs of play time and I can count glitches/bugs on one hand....if you compare it with say a Elder scrolls game, or COD, its still less broken!

  • KevinHoffman Kevin Hoffman 🦀 (@KevinHoffman) reported

    @raistolo @TESOnline One would think that in this era of the gig economy, there'd be a service where I could hire some rando to come help me clear a room for 15 minutes.

  • GideonGlow GideonGlow (@GideonGlow) reported

    @TESOnline North American. And no error, just freezes and crashes after character selection and before loading in.

  • Angryallosaur David Stringwell (@Angryallosaur) reported

    @igp And any bethasdar game lol. Elder scrolls, fall out! They all had issues on release too. Not like they don't do patches to correct them is it! Moaning chuffs, lot of them. Patients is virtue guys

  • Riftwar Riftie (@Riftwar) reported

    sigh I have been a @TESOnline player since beta, short break early on. Massively enjoy its PvE but these latest changes to PVP are beyond stupid. The problems it causes is obvious before implementation, was obvious during, and is still on going. how the hell is cyro getting worse

  • theshockcable theshockcable (@theshockcable) reported

    @TESOnline @ZeniMax_Online TESO doesn't get any PVP support. SO that's what exactly they mean by the same support they have been having. 5 years of server lag, no game masters, no quality control department. Horrible.

  • Swake183 Steve Wakelin (@Swake183) reported

    @TESOnline open letter to ESO your game still crashes which amazing since it has been out for 6+ years! When are you going to fix it? Honest question I’ll wait

  • shinigami929 shinigami92🐝🐝🐝 (@shinigami929) reported

    @ecjaxson Yet madden, fifa, and 2k get a pass on everything. Elder scrolls and fallout are always being forgiven and are always broken games

  • brianptodd_ Brian Todd (@brianptodd_) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @ZeniMax_Online @TESOnline Having issues trying to make changes to may account and going in circles on website. Who do I contact for help???
