Make sure to post your platform and server.

PCNA has been better than ever for me.

PC NA is what's tanking. Everyone in Cyrodiil is complaining and confirming that it started on Monday August 31. ZOS flipped a switch and performance took a dive.

Thats because you're having a massive increase in groups using python scripts linked with addons and cmx.

I'd argue alot of the performance issues we face today in Cyro are because of third party programs/scripts running linking groups.

There is a reason why you "feel" certain groups before you see them. There is a reason why you feel no lag when it's 50v50 but the second "certain groups" show up the server dies.

This is the conversation we need to be having - the rampit script kiddies in Cyrodiil right now across all servers. The cheating in PvP is at an all time high and no one wants to talk about it.

@ZOS_Kevin

Not doubting your anecdotal experience but calling people 'cheaters' seems to be an all-time high in gaming right now.

Do you have any proof or examples of the more problematic add-ons?

A number of my friends, and myself have experienced crashing as of late from cyrodiil. Since updating the graphics drivers and turning off certain addons, for me it was TTC and cmx, that stopped.

I don't think this is the source of the issues though, performance has still been pretty bad for all of us. It just eliminated the crashing and alleviated the problem.

I experienced latency spikes and sudden disconnects before, but the latest update has made them significantly worse. The most frustrating part is that it often happens during ToT and BG matches.

There's a spot up by Cloud Ruler Temple that made 3 of us freeze and then get kicked to the login screen, and it took 10-15 minutes of trying to get back in.

I've not had any issues on PCNA. I don't PvP in Cyrodiil and that seems to be where a lot of the poor performance threads I ever see seem to be. The problem seems to be Cyrodiil.

It's hard to tell nowadays whether the problem lies with the internet provider or the game server. Maybe I'm falsely connecting the dots here, and the update is not the actual case. But nevertheless those of us experiencing such problems should give a feedback, I think.

It wasn’t a patch. “Server Maintenance” generally means little more than a power cycle.

Thats actually not true at all. Anyone that has worked in IT for more than 5 minutes knows a lot more goes on than "just a power cycle."

Ah, another typical "im not having issues so no one else possibly can be having issues" response from you.

There has been very well documented issues in pve.

My response is true to my experience and I never once said others aren't having issues just because I'm not. But I rarely have similar issues when I see these types of threads, most of which point to Cyrodiil.

Not long ago there was a thread about losing connection in loading screens which I was experiencing and gave my feedback for. So I do sometimes experience the same issues as others and provide my feedback.

He's referring to you saying "The problem seems to lie with Cyrodiil"

Cyrodiil is just where the performance issues of the game are most apparent, same as how addons can exacerbate the bad experience. It doesn't mean necessarily that addons are the main reason they're happening, I think Vengeance proves that isn't true.

Neither does you not playing Cyro and not experiencing issues mean Cyrodiil is the problem either.

I do believe a lot of the performance problems are related to Cyrodiil because so many of these threads state that this is where they are experiencing issues. It makes sense to look at Cyrodill to see what there is about it that is causing the problems.

And as others have pointed out, no changes were made. It was a routine maintenance.

I'm kind of surprised more people haven't been complaining about the lag.

Our vLC raid group that runs late due to people on different time zones (midnight-2am EST) recently hasn't been able to get through a prog night without multiple disconnections. Everyone in the group agrees that the performance has gotten way worse in the last 2 weeks or so. We were fighting the Cavot boss a few nights ago and literally like four of the group members crashed within 5-10 seconds of each other.

It's been pretty reminiscent of what was happening when the servers kept getting DDOSed a year or two back.

Whatever ZOS did on last Monday's maintenance was a step backward. Performance, latency and fps both, have been utterly unacceptable since Monday. Please revert whatever changes ZOS made last Monday. It was a mistake. If ya'll can make changes that negatively impact performance like this then ZOS can make changes that have a positive impact too.

@ZOS_Kevin
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom

I noticed this too. Things were great on Sunday in big fights. On Monday after maint even small fights lagged out and gave 20fps performance. It's been the same since last Monday.

ZOS clearly did something to their servers they need to revert last Monday.

I've also noticed a graphics lag in cyrodiil

but ONLY If I'm the one using the 4-person mammoth and people get on it. It doesn't happen right away, but it does feel like it gets worse and worse.

I don't know how to post my computer stats or how to find them, but I do know I have a very nice PC because it had to be built part by part (obviously not by me, I have a potato for a brain with this stuff), but EVERYTHING lights up, even the MEMORY sticks.... so IT isn't a potato. It can run all the things, with many clients and many streams and alllllll the things at once, but then 3 people hop on my mammoth in cyrodiil and all of a sudden if I move my screen while running, my fps is suddenly ONE.

I don't know what they did but I've definitely noticed a change too. And it isn't my machine. Mammoth is involved. Cyro is involved. Doesn't happen out of cyro with mammoth. Doesn't happen in cyro w/o mammoth.

I SWEAR THOUGH IF YOU TAKE MY 4-PERSON MAMMOTH FROM ME I WILL RIOT. THE CLOWNCIL WILL BE DISPLEASED. (caps very intentional, I feel this strongly, passionately.)
