major jerking and micro pausing when running around town with players in them and such...
I was fine last night with players in towns and so forth but today as of 9am cst it has been hell. Rebooted router , cable modem , ps4. Was fine a few minutes on and off then back to jerky jerky and lag with pauses in there. I have capability to play other mmos on pc and ps4 in same house same time and get not lag. FFXIV is a good example of one such game. Different data centers im sure but still what is going on? what gives? IS the servers just that overloaded or am I the only one in the whole US that gets this kind of problem right now? I live in IL south of chicago about 3 hours away. Have very good A+ certified internet by pingtest webpage and nothing seems to be going on my end funny. Comcast checks things as A+ too so not sure what to do.. Game is playable but not enjoyable.

OzJohnD✭✭✭✭Server lag ... more players = more data, always happens with a new game and new servers. This occurred to a major extent in PC version early days too ... some trips to town were unbearable. My understanding is that the console servers were not significantly stress tested during beta, so with this being the first few days now is the real test of server capacity.
From discussions detailing "play with a friend" problems it also appears there is not a single mega-server but instancing of towns as well as dungeons in order to try to cope with player demand and reduce lag caused by many players in town. No doubt getting the server capacity vs demand will be an ongoing process.
There is strong opinion that the PC versions were released in beta so not surprised with console jitters in the first few days, it may well take weeks or even months to get the console versions of ESO working smoothly.Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

Caesar Tantalia✭✭✭As a pc player - I do admit that there is one big benefit of consoles: you all play with the same hardware so if you and others are experiencing the same issues - it's not you.
The issues you are experiencing are similar on PC and to some extent still exist today.0
