Error 334 (3:1:1117:0) Lost lobby connection
I'm new to this game and I'm having constant problem as mentioned.
It is nothing serious but it's getting on my nerves everytime I'm entering or leaving an instance...
So far it is fixed by simply leaving the game and relaunching it and I worry that It'll be a much bigger pain in a** later when I do dungeon runs with other players.
Any suggestions how can I fix this issue for good? :steamsad:

So, do you completely lose connection with the game? Does it shut itself down, or do you have to do it manually?

From what you describe, it sounds like a complete network disconnect. I assume you do not go back to the character select screen when this happens?

I think the servers are down, I have issues to connect too

If you come back, disable all your add-ons, then try a few instances where you were seeing failures. If there are no failures, then enable your add-ons one by one until you find the offender.

Let us know how it goes. :)

Yeah, I just lose connection and it brings me back to character selection with that error notification...
When I try to reconnect (it is giving me option) I simply cannot so I just restart the game and it is all good :lunar2020sweatrat:

They were, I started to play just when they got back online, was waiting until they were up again :pandastunned:

I don't have any add-ons, just base game, Blackwood, Greymoor, Elsweyr, Summerset, and Morrowind chapters from yesterday's sale for less than €20 ^.^

If it is a real network connection failure, it is going to be difficult to isolate. If it is a corrupt file or configuration, might be easier. Some things to try (one at a time):

* If you are running over wireless, try connecting directly to the modem/router to test.
* Check your Network Adapter settings AND your modem/router settings and make sure they are BOTH set to IPv6. In the early days of IPv6 there were issues, but now the issues are with continuing to use IPv4, which usually requires conversion.
* Do repair operations both from Steam and from the Launcher.
* Whitelist both the Steam Common ESO directory and the Documents ESO directory in both your AntiVirus and Network Security.
* Test with a different character and see if it still disconnects.
* If you did not install ESO into the default directory, then uninstall and reinstall into the default directory. Be sure to delete the Documents ESO folder as well when uninstalling.

Good Luck

Changing my internet connection from WiFi to Ethernet cable solved this problem for me. WiFi is unreliable for this game because no matter how fast the connection is there is always data loss.

Currently I'm using my ZTE portable wireless modem with up to 150Mbps so direct connection is not an option, might test it out when I get home next month but it could probably be it... On other MMOs problem never occurred so I never thought it would be the cause... :lunar2020thinkingtiger:

Gonna let ya know when I try it, thanks!

I guess I'll give up playing this one then... :steamsad:

Don't see it mentioned anywhere here but try this:

In the ESO options, disable the "Multithreaded Rendering" option. This has caused a lot of problem on some systems.

Disabled it and it seems a bit better now, but still kicks me out...
I'm really grateful for everyone's help!

Next thing to look for are apps running in the background on your system. Especially stuff that accesses the network regularly or can be causing interrupts via 'push' notifications.

Be sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Check on the NVidia or Radeon websites to be sure.

Got NVidia and updated it yesterday, there was one update anyway :)
Looking at task manager and I don't see any process which is accessing the network (except steam and the game ofc)...
I even disabled win defender and antivirus, added entire steam folder location as exeption and it is the same...
Shame for not be able to play it normally, I just give up... :steamsad:
Thanks a lot for your time and effort by trying to help :steamthumbsup:

I just solved the problem today. used to have repeat error334 and I am using wireless still. the problem is caused by dynamic ip address, i used a vpn and make it give me a dedicated ip in the States. worked like a charm
