The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• 
  FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported 5 minutes ago

  440 unionized Bethesda and ZeniMax workers laid off. Now the people making The Elder Scrolls 6 are warning about delays, crunch, and QA hotfixes before the game even has a public roadmap. That’s not “production is hard.” That’s management deciding the people who ship the game are the part it can absorb. If your workers need a march to tell you the schedule is broken, the schedule was never real.

  @CTPhipps1980 @RazorFist No one’s saying every programmer or artist decided to delay Elder Scrolls VI, but the issue is that Bethesda expanded its workforce while its output and quality took a nose dive the last 15+ years. Layoffs are a consequence of the studio’s overall severe lack of performance.

  Elder Scrolls VI will suffer because it’s made by today’s Bethesda. Retaining employees who were already producing mid games wouldn’t fix that.

  If elder scrolls 6 is mid in any way I’m going to crash tf out

  @_bryanisreal @fuckusernamejor @daviruz Remind me. Didn’t Elder Scrolls 5 have micro transactions that started the whole mess we are in currently? I don’t see the issue in grinding levels. They were trying something new? It’s a good game On its own

  Vortex failed to install my modlist correctly AGAIN, so now I'm installing an OpenMW modlist just in case I need and Elder Scrolls fix, while I consider what game to play (it might or might not be OpenMW)

  "Meow! You're not supposed to be in here, guards guards >:3 !" shouts @emiru The Imperial City is in some trouble, refugees from across Cyrodiil are FLOODING the area You see, the Oblivion gates re-opened But there's a problem "Where is the Hero of Kvatch? The champion?!" says a local peasant There was no main character... The gates kept opening It was hell on Nirn "We can't just let them in... We're already oversaturated!" Says the ENTP GRAND PROFESSOR @powdury , local researcher of everything social and magicka "And uhhh, well, it's slightly more dire than the situation back on Earth, but, **** em..." Says @Asmongold "The rules still apply, let no one in! We need to close those gates first!" Concludes ME the ENFP WARLOCK LEADER of the America First Shadow Cult situated inside the Imperial City in Elder Scrolls Oblivion

  @TongueToad @TKsMantis If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think for games like RDR and GTA it's fine. Bethesda however I would say it's worse there because let's be honest Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield, they all look, feel and play exactly the same, down to the UI and while on the one hand

  Im holding out hope for fallout, elder scrolls, and even a potential future starfield. If not, then I have no problem booting up old saves on either.

  @Pirat_Nation Why a company that is obsessed with cramming live service crap into everything hasn't thought to use the DA world building to make it a MMORPG, and milk it like Microsoft has done with Elder Scrolls Online, is a mystery.

  Raintop | Debut Summer 2026 (@RaintopCroptop) reported 28 minutes ago

  Aside from my hype for fallout 3 and new Vegas remastered, this is just kinda lip service. We’ve known about 3 and new Vegas getting remastered for years and they still have nothing to show for elder scrolls 6

  TJ Jimmy Falker (@FalkerTj) reported 29 minutes ago

  @aaniVibeTheory Idk fallout new vegas if you can polish it a bit and fix bugs without ****** up what was there. Elder scrolls Morowind too... if you mean an upgraded revamp the true crime streets series. Dont kill my wallet though fo an already made polish up. Bought it once prior save my wallet

  Paladin Ashe (@PaladinAshe) reported 36 minutes ago

  That part about major cities was one of my huge criticisms. It's already something of an issue with prior Elder Scrolls games, because after Morrowind everything is a walled city with little sprawl, and major settlements always had sprawl in reality. However, Starfield has basically bland nothing beyond their cities. At least Cyrodiil or Skyrim are beautiful when off roading, but Starfield just...has nothing, and because it has nothing it feels smaller for it. The game already feels like every other system beyond the major ones is an irrelevant nothing, but when your major settlements are a singular stamp sized mark on a whole planet it just accentuates how tiny everything is. You don't even have the excuse of, "we scaled **** down from how the lore says it was" with this one. That's just a choice, a lazy one.

  ✧༺♥༻∞GUIRELLA ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM ENDED∞༺♥༻✧ 🌸Welp looks like it is a YT Server issue for the East coast I am praying it is better by tomorrow before going on my trip. Tonight we raided into @mino_mieko on Twitch & on YouTube we raided into Machina X Flayon!

  Pusel (@PuselSpielt) reported 39 minutes ago

  @Reply_Addict The problem is that starfield makes it really obvious. In Elder Scrolls or Fallout you get a loading screen when entering a house or city. With Starfield you get like 6 loading screens just by switching a planet. Starfield was just too much

• 
  monke (@air_bagged) reported 39 minutes ago

  @GenePark The thing with exclusives is that I have a 300 games backlog on PC and I can live without Elder Scrolls or God Of War. Especially after Starfield. Most PC players think the same and nobody buying 2 consoles at 1000$+ each next gen without physical media. The crash is here.

  @NobodyIsOurGuy I want an Elder Scrolls movie but my big problem would be with who would they cast for the Dragonborn and who's side would the Dragonborn be on in the civil war storyline? Also how would they be able to cover all the factions and dragon lore in a movie?

• 
  Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported 44 minutes ago

  @HazzadorGamin That trailer was the telling everybody that after Starfield it's going to be Elder Scrolls. The problem is again, that implied it was already in actual development and therefore would have been out maybe a year or two after Starfield, that isn't the case.

  @TESOnline Near unplayable. 3 hour wait to get into PvP zone to participate in the event. Soon as you try to fight someone you realize they’re using the armory glitch and are immortal. Full heavy armor with all buffs and this guy can cheat kill you in one second. ESO thinks this is fair. No

  @TJ_B_6 @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I deleted and reinstalled, I've been able to login as normal. If you're having issues you could fill out the issue/bug form... can't remember what it called.

  @masmorragamer That would be an issue if the game was trying to be Elder Scrolls. Luckily it isn't.

  @SpawnYaardReply @Higgs_GG Other games do this too. It’s not a Ubisoft problem. If you wanna blame someone, blame that damn elder scrolls horse armor.

  @AndreBelluzzo @kabrutusdeid The size of the game is not a relevant issue to me. The game is what many Elder Scrolls fans have asked for: a 1:1 update with glitches included. I wouldn't call it amazing, but it's tasteful. And in a world where $ 70–$80+ games exist, they listed it at $50. It's not Game of the Year, but it's a totally fine game for people who've wanted to replay Oblivion without it looking like a potato. Bethesda is a horribly managed company, but this was not a miss.
