Random ping rates

Petros

Before Patch 1.6, I never really had an issue at all with lag, ping rating, you name it. And then 1.6 came along and I notice things with get laggy, on random encounters and even in the marketplace.

Normally I was below 90, now it seems I'm at a constant 105 which might jump to 150, then to 260 in SO, and then today, in Wayrest Sewers, I had a crash and a ping rate of 4450; I was also soloing the 3rd or 4th boss(if you skip the bone dude) the Lich at 50%, got him down to 6% by myself and then boom, game froze for 5-7 secs and I died. The game froze 2 more times after that, for roughly the same amount of time.

Question is, it is my end of the line or ZOS's?

Many people are experiencing lag and latency issues that they were not before. I know that I frequently get booted while attempting to switch characters after 1.6. Cyrodiil is bad, but it's been a hot mess for a while.

ZoS is working on the issue for sure. Be patient and expect fixes soon.

I don't know much about "pings" or anything, but I do know that all of a sudden, I am lagging/freezing like crazy. about 80% of the time, I will sit back and wait for it to start working again (which it does, within 20 seconds or so), but then other times, I've had to shut down the game completely. this has never happened to me before with ESO. I do hope it gets better.

Customer Support told me it was my IP, so I'm not sure they ARE working on it. I've seen NO acknolegement of the issue. I'm bascially unable to do groups or PVP because of this (it's unfair t the group when I freeze, and in PVP it gets me dead, fast).

IS there a latency issue on your end ZOS, and ARE you working on it?

What does that mean??? It was your IP? Are they suggesting it's your computer???

its not always down to zos, sometimes the ping between u and ur exchanage is not right or there is alot on the line slowing it down. ur pc can also slow ur ping down this below might help understand if its the game or not

i very rarely have high pings

After the update was released and I entered Cyrodiil, I experienced really huge fps drops when there were fights nearby. It drops down to 13 fps at times and shortly goes back to 60 fps.

I hope so....I left another mmo with its insane asylemness hoping eso was even a fraction of what the original was in 2011...and i find this game to be ginamically awesome...

This game is going to remove the monthly fee to play but frankly if the lag issue is nonexistant id be one having NO issue in paying to play here. Simply wicked.

Lets ..fix this lag thing

Internet Provider.

Because, somehow, all of a sudden, it's your internet's fault you have ping spikes after a game patch.

Ditto here...and these last few days seems to be worsening.

I agree, as it is now, its really not playable. As awesomly wicked this game is, the myriad of times i died via freezing, being dropped from server which then required several attempts to get back in, just to be dropped again when several days ago this never happened. Its just too frustrating. Its not a DNS issue as i was not playing prior to their new update.

I've had no problems with the connection to the mega server (EU) since 1.6. Solid 90-116 ping from the server to Finland. A friend of mine is experiencing immense ping problems on one of his characters though, which is weird. Check your connection quality people. Speed doesn't equal quality! It's called "packet loss" and it's bad for your online gaming! (Google it up)

Cyrodiil is pretty bad at the moment during high population times, but a fix is on the works according to today's ESO Live.

Even worse than the erratic ping are those freezes where I can not use any skills... happens frequently in Cyrodiil but also outside sometimes.
