Anyone experiencing lag and dc issues right now?

coulterk · August 17

I HAVE BEEN PLAYING ON BOTH EU AND NA OVER THE LAST 2 HOURS AND HAVE LOTS OF LAG AND HAVE BEEN DC'S A FEW TIMES. ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE?

BahometZ · August 17

Yes, on xbox NA and the lag, stuttering and DCs have made it unplayable. Been booted from multiple world events. And everything is running in stop motion.
Is it a free play weekend?

Ishtarknows · August 17

Last night on Xbox EU was terrible. Rubber banding and stuttering just running across town. Trials were a horrible experience.

pcna disconnects. no lag spike warnings but game interaction pretty much stops then 'booted - an error has occurred, wait before relog'. done repairs and checks: just eso has problems. may play something else that works.

Yup, literally everyone is. Case and point this thread with over 50k views and 1,000 comments that @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno ghosted us on after demanding we provide a ton of feedback/bug reports (that still have no views on the videos by the way).

No, its not FTP weekend the games performance is just that bad right now.

As per normal, I am having no issues doing my usual on PC NA and EU. Which does NOT include group content or pvp which I never do (and even if I wanted to, I wouldn't since that's where the lag etc always is according to friends).

LPapirius · August 17

Last night was epically bad performance. Even in a house with only one other player I had lag of over 10k and 0 fps for more than 10 minutes. I couldn't even log out once this happened. Nothing would work and was forced to shut down my computer manually.

Prior to this I had disconnected 5 times in 30 minutes and spent most of that time trying to log back on.

Seems the servers are getting even worse, and I didn't think that was possible.

Sarannah · August 17

Played PC EU & PC NA earlier today, had 0 issues. No lag, no delay, no disconnects, nothing.

Same here. Overland content on both servers earlier without any issues.

Had to GO through a game start certification after a DC,

blktauna · August 17

Doing antiquities yesterday on PCEU primetime was bouncing all over. Cyro was rubberbanding and stutter lag

Rkindaleft · August 17

I haven't experienced many problems in the last couple of days but I will confirm there is issues, several members of my raid group have been experiencing lag on PS/NA over the 2 days or so.

merevie · August 18

Just crashed twice.
Kicked out of pvp.

In the 2mins I was staring at queue, I watched another 26 people wipe off it.
Seeing 100-300 spikes frequently.

Guessing someone is having a go at their servers this weekend.

kringled_1 · August 18

Since the last patch in July, I've had a very high rate of the client just spontaneously closing. Not directly associated with lag; while this can happen in intense situations it can also happen just talking to an npc vendor in town at a quiet time of day. (Very high meaning once or twice a day for me, in contrast to this being something that would happen once or twice a month before).

igormaxbr03 · August 18

I played today was realy bad Rubber banding and stuttering alot while on Grayhost Xbox NA the game is very poor for a while 30 days a least, but since pvp event was over never got better we only got the new server just 1 year ago and still not great ,beside pvp get boring we should be fun the lag ruins it i got DC today and last night ,perfomace is almost like pre new server

Yes.
Lots of 'hesitant' lags.
Lots of FPS drops.
Lots of latency spikes (417-730)

No disconnections.

liliub17_ESO · August 18

Last night, PC/NA server, ~9pm central US time. Several moments of visible stuttering, slight lag after that, then it all cleared.

What platforms are being affected by this and are there any error messages?

Literally every platform every region. @ZOS_Kevin

@ZOS_CouchTato - in my post, I stated PC/NA. Seems everyone is experiencing some form of this issue currently.

...and every possible error message when trying to log back on after the disconnects.

I've never even heard of a game that has this level of disconnecting issues let alone tried to play another game with disconnection issues this frequently.

Bingo.

Worth mentioning this has been happening for about 5 months now.. just gotten worse the last two weeks.

@CrazyKitty for this, I would suggest submitting a ticket to our Support team here.

done, at least 20 times and probably closer to 50 times. This problem isn't exclusive to me and ZOS already knows all about it and has for a long time. This is why customer support is so backed up with these kinds of tickets to review; because there is a huge problem with disconnecting from the ESO servers.

YandereGirlfriend · August 18

If it's a day that ends in a "Y" then there is probably some server-side shenanigans going on.

Ulvich · August 19

I have been getting disconnected ALOT lately while in Cyrodiil.
Everywhere else sems fine.

Does ZOS add server capacity when they add new zones to the game? Or do they just cram more content into the same limited server resources when adding new content? It seems like the latter to me, and that would guarantee performance issues eventually.
