Patch 1.1.5 notes (Known Issues)

I'm curious about the following...
I've had this issue a few times. Is there any information on how the client gets overloaded? I've done some basic profiling on my card (GTX 580, all setting on High/Ultra) when running ESO, and at times the GPU usage would drop from 90+% to 3-4%; Card RAM usage maxed at ~45% usage; But during the time I was doing the profiling it never had a load screen. The GPU bus usage also never went over 30%, and my CPU/RAM usage was pretty pitiful.
The only thing I can possibly think of would be network utilization, but my graphs from that have been pretty steady all of the time; 1GbE local LAN to Cable, and no strange spikes on number of connections/speed. (1)
Thanks,
-M
(1) - Okay, I am just using the normal Windows resource monitor, which does suck, for watching the network utilization... but there hasn't been anything crazy there.
General
- Known Issue: You may occasionally see an in-game loading screen appear when you have not zoned. This can happen when the client gets overloaded.

✭✭✭✭✭They probably meant server, not client.
I had this happen before and it looks like the server moves you to another instance (phase) of the zone, potentially even to another (spill over) server. I know ZOS has posted before that they have redundant copies of the "mega" server that are normally idle but can kick in when the main server is overloaded.

Mitharus✭✭✭Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well... But was just wanted clarification on the "client" part; and if it is the actual client, if they've got any more info.
If it is a network thing, I can probably setup some QoS rules to give the ESO packets higher priority (I mean, if I have ESO running, it's pretty much the only thing that is using net resources most the time). Or if it's running into a socket/open file limit at times, etc... etc...
Meh... I need to learn to turn off this side of my brain sometimes.

TheGrandAlliance✭✭✭✭OVERLOAD: When your keeps walls get repaired and has to reload. When you capture a keep and the upgrades have to be removed.
This happens but isn't a big deal or long delay unless you are on a underpowered system no doubt.Indeed it is so... -

Has happened once when I transitioned into a keep... for about half-second; Just long enough I registered the screen pop up. Normally it happens when just traveling through Cyro. I think the longest I've had one pop up was just over a second.
As you say, not a big deal / long delay (except the couple times it's happened when taking keeps). It's mostly my own curiosity on the root cause.
