ESO works great in Linux with Proton except in Cyrodiil (lag spikes, server disconnects)

maboleth

ESO is pretty much out of the box experience, no FPS drops or anything.

But I'm having troubles with connection and lag during massive fights in Cyrodiil. Those can result in dreadful server disconnects (which means more than 30min of waiting again in the queue). When I say massive I mean over 40-50 people on the screen at once. I first blamed game for this, but then I noticed In W11 there are no spikes or anything during same AvA fights.

If anyone plays on Linux / SteamOS or knows how to deal with this please share some experience what did you do to prevent this.

I enabled DNS caching, opened the ports ZOS advised to on the router, but nothing helped.

I, and countless other pvprs, would absolutely love to hear a dev’s response to this question.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

Thank you for your understanding.

Do you experience the same? What distro do you use?

Thank you for trying to help.
Well most things I have rooted out, but I did try traceroute to check latency. I don't know if these are ok or not.
Tutorial says EU IP Addresses: 159.100.230.1 for game connection/disconnect issues

Cannot interpret these - is this good or not?

Changed distro to Arch, KDE using Wayland, absolutely same happens. It's better overall, ping is more stable, but when the ball groups kick in great numbers, playing for me usually results in disconnection.

Any info would be appreciated.
