Server performance issues

The_Brosteen

Or is it just me? Seems to be worse than usual this weekend. Even in bgs and sotha sil. Before murkmire performance seemed way better. Pc na.

Nope something is wrong with server, not just you.

NolaArch

“Issues” lol

Koolio

NA ps4 unplayable

SixVoltCar

It's a feature.

Ping is Spiking really bad
something is choking the server up

Rygonix

After such a long history of server issues I'm pressured to believe it's yet another "feature" rather than a fault of the game.

Guys the eso server rat is old and tired and needs a break

Xbox NA is unplayable. Sometimes can’t even select a character and get kicked to title screen. When I can log on, I can’t attack, select anything, type in chat. Then I get kicked to the home screen. Everyone in zone chat I talking about it too.

PC/NA is giving me horrible lag issues atm.

It went from the entire group getting disconnected at the same time and lag when talking to NPCs to now I can't even open my settings tab without getting disconnected.

now i cant even port to vivec at non prime time but can play at shor.
the loading screen doesnt even show up

ZOS has a serious problem that they just continue to ignore. The problem their servers.

3450 ms ping and 7 fps in daily random today, ping went to 5/600 as soon as everyone left the party but still remain in dungoen. 10 minutes later was back to 80ms and 100 fps, but it fluctuates a lot, something FUBAR with Murkmire patch is my guess.

Since Murkmire the server has been wonky to put it nicely. I had a login queue once also.

Zypheran

Yup, I'm getting frequent lag.
Also I'm having to force close the game 3 times a day due to infinite load screen. It would be more but I abandon the game on the third!
I'm considering taking a break for a few weeks till this gets sorted.

boony

I've just about given up playing because of 'time delays' lag. It maybe my internet connection so still hanging in there.
So annoying, I love this game

Oh well, I'll try to get back into Football Manager, 19 just released

It’s gotten way worse for me since the latest incremental patch. Long load times to even get into the character selection screen, frequent lag spikes and stuck-in-combat occurrences, etc. I think the server hamster is on his way out.

ScardyFox

I'm convinced ZoS has some kind of bizarro world mentality where they think a game should get steadily worse with its performance over the years rather then better.

The servers perform exactly to spec:
badly enough that they know they have the min. spec needed
well enough that the churn does not affect profit margin

Lelldorano

Its not the servers exactly, its the wonky Akamai DDOS protection that was added just before Murkmire causing routing issues. For example, us oceanic folks are having our game packets sent through the Netherlands when connected to the US server! This is causing higher pings and severe spiking issues.

There are a few large threads detailing the problem with trace routes etc but so far no comment from ZOS.

Ps4 Eu, putting rotations together in pve content was no fun at all, everything felt delayed. More condensing of servers due to player numbers dropping perhaps?

Murkmire added motif 69, so the servers are a bit distracted handling them.

In the month prior to Murkmire dropping, Vivec (EU) was the smoothest and most pleasant it's ever been. I was about to congratulate ZOS on whatever they'd done. Then after the patch, everything went back to the unplayable mess we are used to during prime time.

You're kidding, right? It was actually laggy and stuttering ever since Wolfhunter update, with abilities having hard time to be activated at all unless pressed hard 3-4 times, during the prime times and especially weekends. It doesn't actually feel any different now at Murkmire.
Before Wolfhunter is was even laggier, true, but at least abilities were triggering more reliably.

Server issues are stopping my control pad working too I think.

Steam controller support with ps4 pad is just breaking too regularly (ds4 windows broke weeks back in cyro so I switched to steam support). I can be in the middle of a fight then just start casually jogging off in some random direction and can't do anything until it either stops or I pull the wire out of the pad.

So I'm left with farming for gold in pve areas until I can play pvp again properly (I still go in pvp for a bit, then pad usually breaks after a bit and I leave), which is either when this is fixed or I get a gaming mouse then learn how to play pvp with it.

The amount of BS I've gone through with control pads in this game over the last year or so is beyond belief. Am wondering if hardly any pad or setup has been broken now though and it's instead been this game/servers and the way they're causing problems with pads during cyro lag/battles.

RobZha

Another thing is the stupid lag you get when you try to sprint on mount and you have to press several times in a row before it even does anything. On control pad that's done by pressing L3 down, and at least one pad has broken because the L3 button has just got worn out and broken. I'll probably be glad to switch to mouse so my current PS4 pad doesn't break leaving me having to find £45-50 for a new one.

The loadscreens and lag have been particularly severe this weekend. My friends and I have been experiencing it too. Even in BGs where the player load isn't high.

For PC NA, akamai has been here a lot longer than murkmire. ESO has used it for at least a year, probably longer.

You're right about it changing the routing. Maybe a new akamai site opened and that's why AU routing has changed.
