In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) there will be a major patch for PC with server downtime on Monday. Zenimax is now urging players to clear their inventory, otherwise, a very long loading screen may occur.
This is the announcement: The community manager of ESO, Kai Schober, warns players: With the patch on Monday for PC, a long loading screen could await them:
- this loading screen will last between 5 and 10 minutes at best.
- in the worst case, it could extend over several hours, during which players would be stuck at their PC and unable to do anything.
The length of the loading time depends on how many items players have in their inventory and in the bank, and how many attachments are still in the inbox.
This is what Zenimax advises: They recommend that players log in before the patch on Monday and clear or at least reduce their inventory and mailbox.
This would help the client and reduce the waiting time.
Schober adds that the critical issue is not large piles of the same items, but a large number of different items.
If someone gets stuck on the loading screen on Monday, they should wait it out. Closing and restarting the client won’t help then. It has to be endured.
Why is this loading screen coming? Schober explains that new code is being implemented for ESO’s database to provide greater flexibility for the growing database.
ESO continues to grow, and apparently, the data volumes are also increasing.
Server down on Monday on PC – ESO goes offline
When will the ESO servers undergo maintenance? The server maintenance will take place on February 25th between 9 AM and around 4 PM German time. During this time, The Elder Scrolls Online will not be playable.
This is what’s coming on Monday: Next Monday marks the release of the first DLC for ESO 2019. The Season of the Dragon begins with the DLC “Wrathstone” and the major Update 21 with the race changes.
Players on PS4 and Xbox One will then only join in a few weeks.
