The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
xbotjimmy (@Killanitis) reportedOutside of Live service games like elder scrolls online fallout 76 and blizzards live service games everything else should be exclusive
-
Jared Shapiro (@GetFitWithJared) reported@Aurelian_27 @danno_omen Well if they start holding back Day 1 games they're going to have a big subscriber drop off. CoD makes sense, it's the biggest selling game every year and is stupid expensive to produce. Removing it and lowering the price $7 was a decent trade off, but if you start removing Halo, Gears, Elder Scrolls or Fallout you're going to have backlash. Think of it this way, for every 10 subscribers that keep Game Pass Ultimate over Premium for a month, they get the same revenue as 1 sale. It's easier to sell a $23 sub than a $70 game but then if those users stay on the service, Microsoft gets that money every month no matter what other game they put out.

TJ Jimmy Falker (@FalkerTj) reported@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
-
what is a name, *crash* a miserable pile of Pavlov (@idiot_of_pavlov) reported@Orioracion @TDBlue_ Holy crap just checked his page after all this and he follows 12 people one is the guy who does the multi-hour-long elder scrolls documentaries and the other issue on head I've been yelling at a special needs pseudo intellectual this entire time
-
Kayleigh Welborn (@WelbornKayleigh) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline game patch updated on ps5 and now i can’t get in the game saying “patch required please download and install” the patch is updated and won’t let me in, other guildies in discord having same problem
-
Stranger Who (@StrangerWho934) reported@GTAJJ_ @NextGenPlayer You also have smaller examples like Jeremy Soule not working on The Elder Scrolls VI music or Microsoft not allowing Cliff Bleszinski to return to Gears of War.

Last Chalice (@lastchalice) reported@k1llegal_ I’ve been an Xbox fan first for the majority of my life. They screwed up too many times (with the last straw being 2024’s multiplatform strategy) and for the most part lost me. All of Xbox’s issues come from their own baffling mistakes. They’ve earned the criticism. Having said that, I own all of the systems and will be buying Gears E-Day on my Series X. I’m not a platform warrior. I’m a consumer who cares about the games. Xbox has every right to make Elder Scrolls exclusive because they own it, but I think it would be a ****** thing to do to take it away from Sony and Nintendo who have had those games for up to 20 years. No one has ever had Insomniacs Spiderman and Wolverine besides PlayStation, and as an internal first party studio no one should. Though, if they came to Xbox why should I care? More people get to play them, though I think it would be a terrible business decision, much like Xbox’s push away from exclusives over the last few years.

PrimusNephilim (@NephilimPrimus) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline already broken :/

Yellow High Voltage Rat (@5h42k7007h50up) reported@BethesdaStudios Look, I love the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Have since I first booted up my Xbox to play Morrowind in 2002. But you guys needed a kick in the ***. I hate that all those employees got fired, but taking 20 years to release a game, and then another decade of no DLC or content for said game, and relying only on modders to fill in what you left out, is the most laziest and snobbiest **** you could have ever run for a company. And not telling people about games or projects coming up, being so tight lipped and superior, and holier than thou art. On a gaming engine that is already 40 years old and barely works at launch, and takes a year to fix the game. Bethesda needed a kick in the ***. And it was long overdue.
-
Luminous Beings are We… (@Lordofsparta) reported@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
-
Vessel (@BlacklitEden) reported@JezCorden We gotta stop blaming 2013 for the various **** Xbox is in in 2026. PS3 was in just as much **** and was able to fix it within a generation. E.g. Mattrick didn't convince Satya/Hood to spend 7bil on Bethesda, then do **** all with Fallout/Elder Scrolls.
-
@DarkPaladin000 (@Paladin000Xbox) reported@JamieMoranUK They do cost more you're absolutely right but there are some successful live service games out there Just look at Bethesda and how long they've done Fallout 76 An elder scrolls Online those games have a ton of players Sea of Thieves did at one point I'm not sure what it is now
-
FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported“The roadmap is unaffected” lands a little differently when 3,200 people just disappeared from the larger machine around it. Maybe Elder Scrolls 6 really is still on track. Maybe Oblivion Remastered still makes its Switch 2 window. But players have heard this line enough times to know what it usually means: the plan on paper survived. Whether the capacity survived is a different question. That’s the trust problem with studio reassurance after layoffs. Not that every statement is a lie. That a roadmap is only as real as the team, time, and priorities still standing behind it. A game doesn’t get delayed because the PR wording was off. It gets delayed because fewer people are left to do the work. “Roadmap intact” is nice. Show us the shipped game.

Harrison (@Harriso84651147) reported@werty2346 @vicious696 They spent a good couple years making starfield, upgrading the engine, then once that finished went onto elder scrolls while still making starfield DLC and content updates. Doing all this while maintaining a multiplayer live service, developing a newer version of their engine
-
Patrik Severin (@PatrikSeve) reported@WrightRight4 @JMako67 @VALC_6 Heck there is even code in Source from the original Quake Engine. It is more a developer thing to improve things. One aspect I hope they fix is faces in the new Elder Scrolls, properly animated with better eyes and such. All that is possible if they want to.
-
Alvin Russell 𓆋 (@FearsomeLLC) reportedThe Elder Scrolls VI is going to be... big!? Wow! Whoa! I could not care less. Bethesda's obsession with scale over focus has been a problem since Oblivion, and it's only gotten substantially worse over time. "The game world is the size of a real country!" I don't care.
-
Kain_N_ (@KainN05032201) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline i deleted and reinstalled it, same issue. Im on PS5 and just spent 6 hours reinstalling the game for it to not fix the bug like you said.
-
Gobby (@ag_gobby) reportedIt’s a Nexus-created problem (at least for Elder Scrolls). Modding IS complicated because of possessive mod authors. If something has dependencies or conflicts, mod packs are still prohibited so the user must spend hours resolving it. This was discouraged pre-Nexus **********.
-
Luminous Beings are We… (@Lordofsparta) reported@TESOnline How about fixing the exploits and glitches ruining PvP? You are losing players. I know it’s an old game but you still want your money every month on time. It’s impossible to fight a group of cheaters using the armory glitch to acquire every mundus stone in the game. Shame
-
Speedy (@Adienspeedy) reported@PurpleMNinja @Criminalsimpson Yeah, no problem. It was fun even if I don't do RPs often. An Elder Scrolls Steamed Hams RP? How does that work?
-
Kain_N_ (@KainN05032201) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline so my game finished reinstalling like 30 minutes ago and its still broken.
-
FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported440 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.
-
Ryan (@Triicksster) reportedSo Elder Scrolls 6 is probably taking another 2-3 years minimum, but really I just need Bethesda to get their **** together on optimizing their games' performance. Starfield and especially the Oblivion remake has MASSIVE performance issues, and Bethesda won't even acknowledge it
-
KhajiitCook (@Lgbt_Cherry) reported@superprivatesgm @TESOnline @bethesda Trans carachters were in the exact summerset expansion you speak of and inclusive dialogue was in the game before that... Tanlorins problem is they are just horribly written.
-
𝔊𝔯𝔦𝔪𝔣𝔢𝔩 (@GrimfelOfficial) reported@FussyPastor Prompt was iterated on: Build an explorable 3D RPG world in Three.js based on the attached image. It has to feel like Elder Scrolls daggerfall in feel, FPS RPG, with collision detection, no clipping or defects on geometry, AAA visuals with HDR lighting and shadow shaders, target 60fps, split all the work into sub agents like terrain, props/geometry, materials/textures, lighting, physics, controls/camera, performance. Assign one sub-agent per stream. Each sub-agent owns its stream end to end and reports what it built plus what is still weak. Integrate, then run a review pass: walk the world, list every visible defect, fix them. Repeat till you get it perfect
-
Tim Turley (@TurleyDurden01) reported@DrunkRepub My problem, too. And I played the original Elder Scrolls: Arena and several of its sequels for way too long (mainly because you couldn't wander around killing things in such a wide world in most games). Somehow, by Skyrim it got old.
-
KhajiitCook (@Lgbt_Cherry) reported@Foxhound_N10 @TESOnline They need to have a good version that's pick up and play for new players. My problem is when they force players to do it instead of the other campaigns
-
GrimSyphr (@GrimSyphr) reported@bethesda now hire 50 straight white chud devs and @Asmongold to test and fix Elder Scrolls 6 and we can all be friends again.
-
Samurai0 (@SAMURAISAM0) reported@KingFanMan He's just trying to do fan service after completely fking up the entire industry. Seriously 76 was nothing but a cash grab. The formula for fallout and elder scrolls games is fking easy, and you have entire genres to pull from for the writing. A chimp could have done his job.
-
Sleeper (@HellSnowshovel) reported@JohnH0730 @dennistopia @thiccdotexe Ah the old appeal to majority comment. Millions of people believe fairies are real. See what Im getting at? The elder scrolls games have become quite shallow with every version that is a problem.
