Weirdest 'lag' I've ever had

Raeina

My character, NPCs, and mobs are all moving in slow-mo.

My character isn't stuck in walk, she's just running slow and attacking slow. The other players around me are moving at normal speed. My UI, character select screen, loading screens, everything else is moving at normal speed.

I tried repairing my game, my internet is fine, my computer is running normal, updated my drivers, killed myself, moved out of Coldharbour back to Daggerfall, I have no buffs, turned off all my addons, nothing fixes it.
All my other mmos/games are running fine so like I said, I doubt it's my computer/internet.

I'm assuming this isn't just normal game lag. I played fine last night, it just started right when I logged on today. It's all of my characters and is completely unplayable.

Im also having this exact same problem, rebooted internet etc and still getting it, my computer is running fine but the lag ingame is unbearable and I agree its making it unplayable :S this is the first time since I started playing I've encountered any sort of lag and its the worst lag I've ever had on any Online game I've played.

Gosh I thought I was the only one, yesterday everything was still good, but today everything feels like moving trough thick soup?

Valije

Yeah, something is happening right now.

I have massive lag and getting worse. Sometimes 10 secons now or NPC just refusing to being interacted with...

Instead of slow-mo (wich happened to me in the past), chars are moving like they are warping all the time.

First battle with Mannimarco triggers this. Try the command /stuck
This will fix the issue.

I've tried but /stuck and dying to mobs, neither worked. I'm 45, it's been awhile since I did the Mannimarco fight.


With other people having the same thing I'm guessing it's just weird server lag. I've played a ton of mmos though and slow-mo is easily the strangest lag I've ever seen, especially when it seems to not be happening to most people.

I'm having a lot of lag too, today. It only happens with ESO: people skate instead of walk, or teleport. My skills don't react when they're supposed to do so, I can hardly interact with NPCs and a few guildies are having the same issue, but not all of them.

This doesn't usually happens to me; I checked other games and they work fine.

Issendir

Same. I can´t play today because lag.

ThyIronFist

Having insane lag now as well.

This is really great for all the new players. They will quit real soon. Having mixed feelings about this game now...

Deepfry

Exactly the same for me since mid-afternoon today (Saturday 26th April). Have been trying to play with a group of friends, but we've given up. ESO is unplayable today. Hope this gets sorted VERY soon, or else this will be my first and last month with ESO.

PS: same as everyone else: no problem with any other online games, no problem with my internet connection ... oh, and nothing to do with "Mannimarco" ... never even heard of it/him.

Yes unplayable here too

Arwyn

Silly amount of lag since about 16:00 ish, totally unplayable. Internet is fine and checked with a few other online games and they all play well.

Arwyn

Oh and getting kicked out again with the "an error has occured" AKA Unknown Error....

Further examples of this weird lag:

TYPE 1:

- waiting forever to open a door (the final solution being to log out, log back in, and pray ... though invariably it is not possible to log out as I get stuck on the logout window and have to quit the game using Ctrl+Alt+Del)
- up to 3 minutes wait in between crafting 2 items (the final solution being to log out, log back in, and pray ... though invariably it is not possible to log out as I get stuck on the logout window and have to quit the game using Ctrl+Alt+Del))
- waiting forever for my typed message to actually appear in chat
(The above are sometimes (10% of the time) followed by a disconnection + error message)

Yet while the above are occurring, I can happily run around in circles and also see everyone else moving normally.

TYPE 2:

- all of the above, but this time everyone else is moving jerkily or moving as if they are wading through syrup.

NB: I can play my two other MMOs with no problem whatsoever.

EU server is having lag spikes in Cyrodiil that is making the game become unplayable at times. Right now there are like 4 and half campaigns all padlocked. I seriously hope this gets improved in future. If we are going to get constant lag spikes every time the campaigns fill out then reduce the max amount of players allowed in if your servers cannot handle it!

Smell like emergency maintenance soon

Arwyn

Ive opened a ticket to support too to make sure they know about it. A lot of people saying the same about lag in Glenumbra at the moment. Although a couple say they have no problems at all (could be trolling though:))

doomsdayz

It's simple, i cannot play since this afternoon,morning was fine, yesterday was fine,release was fine,betas were fine. But this afternoon all hell broke loose.

Vlas

I got this issue in Cyrodiil after dieing and rezing back at the main camp.

I ported to another zone and it fixed it.

Valije

I just got contacted ingame by a GM, so they are reading the forum and are trying to solve thing actively. Today the lag was so bad that I log with an alt char to read some books or just take my time in those first quests.

The funny thing is after I replied him that I had a bit of lag yet, the problems dissapeared and now I am getting the usual delay caused by the server location and not the huge latency I got all day.

I was not able to give this information to him, but if they read this, now it is gone for me.

Will relog with my main char. If I have any issue I will edit or reply this post again.

class101

Still unplayable today ....

//edit: seems getting better after posting

Arwyn

I seem ok today. As usual im disappointed there's no post from the ever invisible support people on the support forum. Seems I love this game but the support is not what I would expect from a subscription based MMO (and no I don't mind its a subscription based MMO but do expect more support for my money)

Raeina

Moving around fine today.

Was it actually lag though? I've had lag on and off, but it's lag just like every other mmo. I keep moving and everything, including other players around me, freeze. I eventually catch up and they all speed up to match me.

I've literally played every non-ftp mmo in the last 10 years and I've never had the walking through mud effect while everyone around me is fine. I'm fine with lag, I'm even fine with not being able to play for a day because of lag as long as they're working on it. Still by far the best mmo release I've played bug/connection/everything else wise. I was more worried my character was perm bugged.

ArconSeptim

Yeah this is really a major problem!! Client crashing etc lagging in EU...
