Lag Switching in Cyrodiil ?

xirub17_ESO · January 2017

I was wondering if anyone else had this happen to them lately. Your on the verge of killing an enemy, and you suddenly lag, and they either go invisible, or teleport kill you, not really even knowing what killed you, short if the death feed. PS4.

I already know lag Switching is a thing on games like destiny or CoD...

Ive never seen that on Ps before . Logged in yesterday for a bit and besides normal lag , nothing was weird . What is a lag switch ?

Lag Switching is a MOD that binds a program, such as on your laptop, with your controller -- in this case, it purposefully causes your connection LAG in order to gain an advantage in game.

No kidding ? I wonder how they focus lag at one player without disconnecting themselves .

That's a good read. Point is, on some games a player's console becomes the "host" but ESO's architecture isn't like that.

Pretty sure the lag is just actually that bad at times. No lag switching required; it's a free feature.

I suspect the entire servers would melt into a steaming pile of goo if someone managed to get it to work anyway. =P
