What Causes ESO Error 307?

Several factors can trigger this disconnection error:

  • Server Congestion: Too many players in one area can overload ESO’s servers.
  • Network Issues: Unstable or slow internet can result in a lost connection.
  • Game Maintenance: ESO servers undergo scheduled updates, which may disconnect active players.
  • Add-ons Conflict: Some add-ons interfere with ESO’s connection, causing unexpected boots.
  • Account or Server Bugs: Occasionally, ESO’s megaserver may fail to recognize a player’s session, leading to disconnections.

Fixes for ESO Error 307

1. Wait Before Reconnecting

After getting booted, wait 8–15 minutes before logging back in. ESO servers take time to refresh, and trying too soon may reset your wait time.

2. Restart the Game, Steam, and Launcher

  1. Close ESO and Steam completely.
  2. Exit the ESO Launcher and make sure no ESO-related processes are running in the background.
  3. Restart Steam and relaunch the game.

Some users have found that fully closing all applications before retrying has a 100% success rate.

3. Delete and Recreate the Add-ons Folder

If add-ons are causing instability, removing them might fix the issue. Here’s how:

  1. Close ESO, Steam, and the Launcher completely.
  2. Navigate to your ESO game files:
    • Windows: Users > [Your Username] > Documents > ESO > live
    • For European servers: Open the liveeu folder instead.
  3. Locate and delete the AddOns folder.
  4. Create a new empty folder named AddOns in the same location.
  5. Restart ESO and check if the issue is resolved.

Tip: Moving the add-ons folder to the recycle bin instead of deleting it completely may not work. Make sure to fully delete it.

4. Assign a Static IP to Your Console or PC

If ESO keeps booting you from the server, a dynamic IP address change might be causing it. Assigning a static IP can help.

For PlayStation Users

  1. On your PS4/PS5 Home Screen, go to Settings > Network > View Connection Status.
  2. Note your IP address and MAC address.
  3. Access your router settings (via a web browser, typically 192.168.1.1).
  4. Assign the noted IP address as static.

For Xbox Users

  1. Open Settings > Network > Advanced Settings.
  2. Write down your current IP address and MAC address.
  3. Log in to your router’s admin panel and manually assign a static IP.

Reboot your console and check if the issue persists.

5. Try a Different Server

If you keep getting booted from NA or EU servers, try switching to the opposite region. This can help if a particular server is overloaded.

6. Switch to a Wired Connection

Wi-Fi connection drops can trigger Error 307. Use an Ethernet cable for a stable connection.

7. Contact ESO Support

If none of these solutions work, it’s best to submit a support ticket through the ESO Support page.

Final Thoughts

ESO Error 307 is usually caused by server congestion, network instability, or add-ons interference. By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue and get back into Tamriel without interruptions.
