Yes, we can't quite believe it either - what is arguably one of the most anticipated massively multiplayer online games to ever launch on consoles has had a less-than-perfect start. Reports from across the web suggest that users are having trouble signing into The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited on PlayStation 4 following the title's release. For those out of the loop, the MMO role-playing game is out today, but its servers went live at midnight.
Of course, snark aside, this is absolutely nothing new. We struggle to think of an online title that hasn't had a troubled launch in recent years, barring sci-fi shooter Destiny at a push. In any case, there's not really much anyone can do about packed servers, especially when players are being kicked from their game at seemingly random intervals. As such, it looks like this is just going to be a case of waiting it out until things smooth over.
Have you had any problems? Did you log on at launch? Get booted from the comments section below.

It took me around 15 mins to log in today, I dont consider this bad for first day MMO!
Signed in ok at midnight played for a few hours, just a little bit of lag and logged in no problem this morning played for an hour and now it's down for maintenance, everybody had a 10 minute warning before it went down it's a little shakey but not to bad at all tbh.
I started trying to log in at midnight and it took around 15mins which I thought was pretty good...MMO has shaky start?... Lol Slow news day?... Saying that a few slow ones will be nice for you guys before the onslaught of next week
Is the game actually any good? Review incoming I suppose but it looks pretty boring! Obviously appearances can be deceiving.
I'll be picking it up in about 2 hours or so. Hopefully I don't run into too many login issues.
Update is taking forever
So need for speed this year Will have this problem too right.
Well Just wait for a month or so for safe
The only similar game I've played is FFXIV and I don't recall any major issues when that launched on PS4. That said, this is going from PC only to launching on 2 consoles at once, whereas FFXIV was only launching on PS4 (having already launched on PS3 previously), so I guess this is a bit different in terms of the numbers of new joiners in one go!
I am intrigued by this one since the long gameplay trailer that debuted a few weeks back, but I'm realistically never going to have the time to play it! Although if it plays well on remote play I might be in with a shout.
I'll be ignoring this for a couple of weeks yet until I finish witching
I've just brought the game. But it's saying it's going to take 24hrs to download before I can play even offline. Anyone else having this problem?
I went with The Witcher over this and don't regret it. I might get it down the line when these kinda issues are fixed.
I'm getting mine in a little bit, but I might wait until later this evening to play. Hopefully things will have settled down by then.
Been logging in and out over the past couple of hours or so.. No problem at all
@Callum26 I seriously hope your joking about the offline thing....This is an mmo and it even says it on the back of the case that a persistent high speed internet connection is required to play the game...
I went to around 4 game shops today to get this. However because I'm 17 they wouldn't sell me it (Was a 12 on PC I think?), have been looking forward to this since announced. Had to bite the bullet and buy on psn, don't usually like to do this as I can't trade in but after watching youtube videos for a year pretty sure I will love it. But still wish I had the box with the map etc... Dowloading now be gutted if its not working properly, wish me luck!
@NeverGoFulRetard lol wut? Where I'm from there are 12 year olds buying Pegi 16 - Pegi 18 games all the time. Couldn't you just have gone to another shop or had a friend/parent buy it? Still thank goodness for the internet, nothing stops you there. =D
@Riririn haha ik I would of preordered or order online but I just got the money today and my parents are away, I usually ask them to go but yeah. And I tried 4 different game shops and they all asked for ID lol, but yeah just got psn cards and bought it on the store luckily.
Yeah sadly I've run into a bunch of login errors here in NA. The patch took over an hour to install too, oh well guess I'll come back to it later :/
Hopefully servers are good in the UK it dowloaded the update and about 35gb of the game in 30 minutes then all of a sudden 6 hours to do a few gig fml.
@strider2144 yea I know that. All I'm saying is that in frist insterlaiton it's taking in total now 18 hrs. Was a 24hr. Just asking when people got the game to first upload it how long did it take. It got the disk game.
@Callum26 Try testing your network connection under the system options. For some reason it improves download times. No idea why but I was at 15 hours remaining before testing and 5 hours afterwards. My girlfriend and I do the connection test every time we download something and it always reduces our times significantly. Try it and let me know hoe it comes out.
@grevin56 Cherrs mate il try that now
@grevin56 would it change straight away? So far it was on 18hrs now it's on 21hrs. The download bar is roughly a quarter done.
@NeverGoFulRetard 'Cuzz there's such a big difference between a 17 year old and an 18 year old. Not. lol
@Callum26 For me it changes instantly. Your connection speed actually got worse?! I have no friggin' idea then... Maybe try turning it off (completely, no rest mode) and wait a couple mins (to clear the cache) then turn it on. Do the test after that and see what happens.
@grevin56 yea I know crazy. Think il just leave it as is now. Hopefully what it says on how long is left should be good to go tomorrow lunch time. Fingers crossed.
Yeah, I started the download last night when I received my download code from Zenimax (for having pre-ordered for $20 in early adoption of the PC version). The download took nearly six hours and then I thought I would try logging in this morning before work... login error each time I tried. I'm going out of town for a few days, hopefully when I'm back on Saturday I can at least login!
Logged in with no problem at all today at 9am est. Also got the download code the night before from the $20 PC-Console transfer so i'm glad that I was able to get into the action with no trouble or wait.
I have the disk copy on ps4 so maybe different.
Was having fun and figuring out how crafting works. Then I thought I'll try this ability out accidentally shot a civilian like an idiot and they attacked, I killed them so now guards try kill me everytime I try to do a quest because of the bounty which i can't afford lol. Screwed already going to have to sneak around to get the gold to pay my bounty now...
This game is hard to get to grips with. This is my 1st mmo. And was expecting it to be like skyrim and have the option to go online. Don't know what I make of it ATM. Anyone else?
This is my first MMO and I am enjoying it but the problem is I have not received the Explorers pack and it is killing me because I can't get into the game properly because I can't make my "real" character if that makes sense.
