The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Kat (@KayoticKattt) reported@Swurv__ Nah. They f’d up with starfield and posting the teaser to elder scrolls when they never started work on it just to appease their investors. They’ve had years to fix starfield but still obviously haven’t.
-
Monday (@lxMondayxl) reported@Frogboyx1Gaming @asha_shar If Sony owned ABK/Zenimax. Xbox would never see Crash, Spyro, Call of duty (after contract is up) Starfield, Elder Scrolls and so on. Xbox is not trying to beat Playstation. They're trying to monetize them. While destroying their own brand. It's fine that only Xbox share games.

ANW Pizza Parker🇹🇹 (@TheColtonShow__) reportedI don’t ever wanna hear about Elder Scrolls or Fallout jank ever again, them ****** taking advantage of the whimsy in yall heart to sell yall broken games
-
Jared Shapiro (@GetFitWithJared) reported@Xbox_SUPERFAN The thing with COD versus other first party games is they have 3 studios working full speed to crank out a $400+ million AAA game annually. Halo isn't doing that. Elder Scrolls isn't doing that. Forza isn't doing that. Those games on Day 1 are are all big value adds for Game Pass. If they remove them, they're going to see massive churn. I'm assuming behind the scenes they either didn't see a big enough bump in subscribers for COD or they saw a lot of people sub for a month or two, only play COD, then bounce. If that's the case, and you have polls all over the internet saying drop COD and make it cheaper, then I could see the business sense there. It doesn't make sense to risk subs and cut other first party games from the service, but there's always a chance the economics change

azza (@therealazza1) reported@BethesdaSupport having trouble setting up account on elder scrolls online. cant email you because keep having this error Error: Steam account link not found. Please link your Steam account to an existing ESO account via the Linked Accounts page or create a new account.
-
Simple Z4ck (@SimpleZ4ck) reported@larptillidie @summergamefest The only game Bethesda is working on right now is elder scrolls. 6. They're not working on fallout 5 for many, many years.
-
GenericNPC (@GenericNPC187) reported@Swurv__ I don’t know about that. The Elder Scrolls used to be the gold standard in open-world RPG’s, but since then the industry has shifted dramatically and there’s a lot of competition. Elder Scrolls has a Bethesda problem if anything.

gunitgunit98 (@Gunitgunit98) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Crossplay or not we pay for a service and this maintenance means most people can’t play today
-
💥 Garry 💥 (@GJ_Doggy) reported@MosesGames @TESOnline Thats a pretty crappy problem. I think the quest was called Those who would rule. If its not already in your journal and not in the crown store under quest starters possible might be bugged. Maybe id try a differnt device, like a second pc. Maybe missing a file
-
SenjutsuSage (@Senninsage) reported@Johnnymetal80 @Septic_Sauce The anticipation for the follow-up to Skyrim is a money maker approaching GTA. A lot more upfront sales will be lost with Elder Scrolls 6, so with this move I no longer have confidence in Game Pass as a service. It was about guarantees, no doubt, and that's now gone.
-
Shane Dragonblade (@ShaneDragonVT) reported@MrRealHumour @xMBGx They would be stupid to ever make them exclusive my point was IF they did Sony would be in freefall They have no alternative to - call of duty - crash or spyro (unless sly or Jak returns) - elder scrolls - gears - Forza - clockwork revolution
-
Brian T. (@BrianT0730) reported@Infi_Gabe95 @brandon1luv @TRIPSTER0 I can name s bunch they have Forza, Halo, Gears, Crash, Spyro, Fable, Elder Scrolls, and the 1 game Sony and Jim Ryan were crying about being exclusive Call of Duty in 2033 once that contract is up make it exclusive Sonys #1 3rd party franchise goes bye bye
-
Ron Paul🇺🇲 (@alienteslax) reported@TESOnline @spantifical When are you going to fix all the bugs in the game? Abilities don't work the first time, so I have to double tap it, trials are laggy, crown store stole my crowns twice I started a ticket awhile back and heard nothing. So wtf are we paying for?
-
Xycofox (@xycofox) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Good! Fix not giving players their ESO Plus subscriptions they paid for.
-
Nicholas Hanson (@da_asmodai) reportedI have LOTS of ideas but probably either an Elder Scrolls style open world game with procedural terrain and dungeon generaition, AI agent NPCs so their schedules were more dynamic and they had unlimited voiced dialog options. Or a MMO that fixes all the things I think are broken in them.
-
naruto0204991 (@naruto020499) reported@Draven_X_23 @Dexerto You really think Elder Scrolls 6 is going to be good after Fallout 76, Starfield, and the Oblivion remaster which is still broken?
-
Trevor Rieger (@trevorriegerxxx) reportedThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered by publisher Bethesda Softworks has not received a formal PC patch since Update 1.2 was released in July 2025. Frame rates dropping and traversal stuttering are still a problem for players.
-
Immortan Joe Mazzulla (@normal_jake_) reported@AF17550 It had its issues and a lot of them were avoidable but as someone who plays a TON of space games I don’t think people gave them enough credit at all. It’s real ******* hard to do what they did lol. This isn’t like making an elder scrolls or fallout, it’s a big technical ask!
-
Bad Wolf Sultan MyWolverine❤️🔥MyPrincessPeach (@BadWolfSultan) reported@xonebros The only problem Bethesda has with Elder Scrolls VI is Bethesda, they are their own worst enemies
-
Bojanglatron (@Bojanglablonic) reported@LilithLovett Current Triple A meta is multiplayer shooters with live service and ranking systems, unfortunately. Elder Scrolls 6 is on hold till Todd figures out how to make it a multiplayer shooter. Let's hope he learns from Fallout 76.
-
Valdenn (@sirvaldenn) reported@Swurv__ True enough about Crimson Desert. Elder Scrolls VI has a Bethesda problem, though. Yeah, it'll make money, but not as much as if it were good. Starfield suffered because people saw and said how abysmal it was. TES VI will have the same issue.
-
azza (@therealazza1) reported@BethesdaSupport i know the account which i have logged into steam and have another error Error: Incorrect UserID or password. Please try again. i have just changed my account details to it working and works actually bethesda website but not elder scrolls online website please help me
-
Xycofox (@xycofox) reported@TESOnline Why don't the Devs focus on fixing the goddamn billing issue. ************* pay you but you don't give them what they paid for.
-
Nethilez (@Nethilez) reported@Xylus19 @Dee_Batch @klobrille Both Zenimax/Activaion are 1st party but have a legacy of being multi platform. I do believe new IP singleplayer IP should at least be timed exclusive. Though I have no issue if Elder Scrolls is timed for for exclusive, up to them and data
-
Morgaine (@Spell_Forged) reported@Pirat_Nation Using an old *** engine The HORRIBLE train wreck Fallout 76 was not just as a game but the entire fraud and bunch of irl issues around it. Then starfield… People saying they dont even expect Elder scrolls 6 to be good anymore is a realistic mindset. Bethesda WAS, but isnt now.

SavePoint (@savepoint_tr) reportedWild origin story unearthed at PCG towers — the name "The Elder Scrolls: Arena" was basically a last‑minute fix to pre‑printed boxes. 📦🧾🎮 • Ted Peterson says Arena shifted from tournament combat to full RPG as sidequests and dungeon‑delving took priority. • With boxes already printed, devs invented the Empire nickname "the Arena" and Vijay Lakshman slapped on "The Elder Scrolls" — its meaning barely defined. • A serendipitous, awkward label became the foundation of a decades‑long franchise. Would you keep a quirky, last‑minute title if it could become the next megafranchise, or rebrand for clarity? #ElderScrolls #GameHistory

Nowa (@Gamer_Girl_Nowa) reportedWe gotta beat elder scrolls YouTubers with the mace of molag bal for spewing the **** that oblivion leveling is bad and remaster fixed it when the issue is the unique pool is still level scaled horribly and enemy pool of levels still is just reach a breakpoint and its all ogres
-
Ender Rising (@EnderRising) reported@Jugulator__95 @TagTrinity After reading Jez’s article it looks like game pass will become a build your own bundle service, before Elder Scrolls even launches. What that looks like pricing wise, day one games, I have no idea. Starfield would have sold 25 million to 30 million plus copies during launch week if it wasn’t on game pass and was on ps5 at launch. The hype for the game was insane.
-
Olgit (@PCG_Olgit) reported@TESOnline If Vengeance is your answer to the pvp issues that plague endgame, then do us all a favour please, Make it a separate entity and just leave what we have had - alone. If people want to play a slower game, non cp server - then let them. If they want Icereach - let them.

Jan Drelewski (@JDrelewski13996) reported@vicious696 What about elder scrolls 6 then ? It looks like if game have high sales potential it will not be on the service. Thats the dangerous precedent and to be honest it’s killing the whole point of gamepass.
