Audio lag, more load screens

wowzerss · July 4

Anyone else experiencing constant audio lag and more load screens than usual, even when not in a populated area? For the last couple weeks. I'm on PS5.

Yes audio is not working right. It's distracting and annoying. Not sure about the load screens.

It's happening on PC as well with audio. Delays or not playing sound at all sometimes - whether battle effects or when firing powers.

Yea definitely happened on PC too. A few times in the last couple of weeks, but I'd never noticed it before. Includes delay on sounds of npc and companions speaking when first loading in.

Yep I've also been experiencing audio lag for months now. I'm not sure when exactly it first started happening, but I reported it in May '24: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/8118370/#Comment_8118370

I'm on PC using the official launcher, so afaik there isn't a cache or anything to "clear" like there is on Steam and consoles. I have ran the launcher's repair several times but that has not fixed the audio delay.

Same issue here, PC NA, last couple of weeks. Lag between event and sound effect can be several seconds Very annoying.

I've also had serious lag issues and rubberbanding. No, it is not my internet connection. All other games work fine.

Have you tried going through the troubleshooting linked above?

czkevin36 · September 19

Yes, I went through all of them. I also opened a ticket with support but it doesn't lead to anything. The problems have been since the last update.

You can provide your ticket number here so we can check on the status and provide an update.

All right. They just wrote today. But I don't know if it will help. I think the fault will not be on my side.
