Severe Lag In Mournhold

Jemcrystal

On gaming PC that does not suffer lag. Ever. Chat posts slowed way down. Everyone in chat started complaining of lag. I was moving around okay but saw their chars skipping. I got d/c. Now I can't get back in.

I can get on my alts in other zones but I cannot get on my main in Mournhold.

Here's more game chat since I am the only one who is bothering to come to the bug forums and report the game has very bad lag. People said this game lags but this is the first time I have been exposed to it. Also, from the blazé reaction I get in chat either people are very sleepy atm or lag is such a regular occurrence they've lost the will to care.

Sorry took so long I vid captured the lag but depended on Youtube editing takes forever so went to bed. This is the last of my report on the issue. At the end of this vid I warped to Cyrodiil and spent the next two hours lag free in a large zerg. The capture was done with Nvidia Shadowshare (w/e they rename themselves) and the vid is showing my char halting which is the lag when my main finally was able to log in to Mournhold. It looks like my vid is messed up but it's not the vid it accurately covered how the game looked. Tho Youtube ruins vid quality my graphics were better.

Do you think it would help if they moved the wayshrine back to where it was to start with, outside the city, to shift out the people zoning in, or would that not make any difference?

Game is still lagging hard today. I was at the bank in craglorn one minute, got a random load screen, appeared in the middle of town, then another load screen and back at the bank!

Game was lagging late Tuesday night, although things seemed fine in Cyrodiil for the evening. It was when I tried to hop in on a few of my mules that I noticed something was up. I would get a "Retrieving Character Load" message for like 5 or 10 minutes, then a loading screen of Craglorn, then kicked back to login. Several attempts to login as that character failed in a row. I was about to post about it, but it seems this thread has other users suffering the same issue.

When I did finally get in, I went on my explorer lowbie in Rivenspire. Lovely area! So cheerful! Lots of butterflies that are really large and resemble large bats and are also just really giant bats instead of butterflies.
At first, things were fine. Then my ping shot up to 999 and it took 5 minutes for a chat message I typed to appear. It then kicked me off. I logged back in and for a while, my ping would be at around 83 to 111. I entered a delve and things were smoothly more or less in there. Upon exiting the delve, the ping shot up to 999. Again, I was kicked off. I logged back in, but ping was 999 right off the bat. No responsiveness. I managed to kill a wolf but failed to loot a scrap of fell hide. I also was at a skyshard and that wasn't gonna happen.

The night of the patch (Monday) my guildmates and I were experiencing lag and game crashes in Mournhold and Elden Root. NPCs and players wouldn't load for long periods of time or would stand completely still, with no interaction prompts or even the ability to sprint until one time it crashed, another time it just worked through it. I continued having lag in Elden Root today, and went to the wayshrine to port into Craglorn, when the game entered a loading screen for several minutes and crashed. An attempt to log in with that character again failed, finally succeeding just an hour ago. Meanwhile a character I had in Shornhelm found that it would take 5-20 seconds to decon a single item, start a research, interact with crafting tables and wayshrines, and everyone in zone chat seemed to have the same problem.

This problems seems to mainly affect populated cities, but it's very troublesome and I really hope Zenimax will respond or fix it soon.

Yes, well that's the stupidity of allowing duels everywhere including but not limited to inside banking buildings and wayshrine zones.
