Universal Bugs and Bad Features Affecting PvP

Capsaica

I would also add the Sovngarde sky to a list of bugs in Cyrodiil. Every once in a while, usually in a hotly contested keep, a pinkish-purple opaque slice of sky cuts down across your field of vision, preventing you from seeing anything on the other side of it. You cannot see other players, friendly or otherwise. You can't see the ground or the keep beyond this slice. You can pass through it freely and if you pan your camera around, you can get it to disappear or reappear.

While not game breaking, this is certainly distracting and interferes with gameplay.

@Capsaica are you referring to this type of thing? I sure hope so because it took me forever to find these screenshots again.

Capsaica

Yup, @Recremen, that is exactly what I am talking about. Thanks for the screenshots!
Next time it happens, I'll try to add screenshots as well. It is usually during a very busy moment, so I haven't captured it yet.

A collection of some of the "Stuck on ground" transition lines.

I have been experiencing this bug since the Shadows of the Hist update.

Tends to happen after traveling long distances or when approaching high lag areas.



Some solutions:

Reloading UI removes the lines and periodically reloading UI seems to reduce the frequency of them appearing. (Reloading the UI can sometimes take a while so not advised to do this in combat)

Waiting it out, either by just staying there running in place or avoiding stepping over the lines. They often fix themselves within 60 seconds but ive had them last for 10+ minutes.

You can get pulled out of or pull your self out of being stuck on the line with abilities like the wardens sticky gobs or that one frozen gate morph which can help you not get killed until it goes away. Used to be able to fix it without a long loadscreens by pulling yourself onto the unloaded area, but that no longer works as of the Summerset update.



Removing excess addons and running the game on its lowest settings may reduce the frequency of this bug, but does not stop it from happening.

This is perfect, thanks for the album link! Just posting one image here directly so that it catches someone's eye more easily and then follows the link in your comment for more.

I had never actually had the stuck on terrain bug happen to me until the Murkmire patch. It has happened to me a few times recently during heavy periods of lag.

I'm running a GTX 1070.

Alot of bugs in Cyrodiil seem to be happening randomly to certain players with absolutely no relation to their hardwares / ISP. The server get over loaded and impact random clients.

That's not my image, it's Tengu's, I just linked from her album for visibility. I'm running a 1080 and haven't had this problem since that upgrade, but I included it in my post because I know it still persists from guildy reporting like Tengu's.

Oh so I'm not the only one to see this? I had it happen to me once and I had no idea what to even make of it.

Capsaica

@Alpheu5 , nope, not just you. It is probably you just having a premonition of entering Sovngarde shortly. Because there is probably a nightblade behind you. Because in Cyrodiil there is always a nightblade behind you. I have seen this many times, as have a number of other players who I talk to regularly.
