Hi Guys,
Posting this as I'm getting pretty disgruntled at the performance of AvA on PS4, the general connection to server thread covers this to a degree but AvA is the only place I encounter this.. this is not something I ever encountered on the PC version and I most assuredly do not have connectivity issues.
Location: Western Australia, Playing on North American server. ISP iiNet.
Connection: 10Mb down 1Mb up stable. Very rarely do I have a connection related drop due to loss of line sync, I specifically have an ISP side setting for a "stable" connection, their setting is Gamer from the choices: Safe, Standard, Extreme, Gamer with Annex M on/off(I have Annex M off due to little to no gain)
Games that work fine in MP for reference: GW2(PC), GTA5(PS4), MechWarrior Online(PC 280ms STABLE ping to the US), SWTOR(PC).
GW2 is potentially the only comparison and of course ESO on PC.
In summary, normal gameplay in ESO is generally fine, occasional hiccup but as soon as I hit AvA I'l encounter after a time(not initially):
- Players start stuttering around.
- Lagging.
- Eventually players stop moving. If I'm in voice I can still hear chatting.
- I get kicked with a connection to server error.
Unless there is a fix I can do somewhere, or evidence to the contrary, I'm literally not going to accept this is an issue on my side, I've enough evidence on my part to suggest it's not. I can provide traceroutes/mtrs, settings as much as requested but basically... can we get some word on why for myself and definitely others are experiencing this completed disheartening experience?
I've spent enough time on PS4 now that going back to PC would be a serious time waste, unless my characters can be copied back I'm pretty much fed up...
