More stability issues after every patch

Leggi

What's wrong with this game?
I have heavy lag issues even in PvE, even in the morning. I have tonns of lag spikes, snips tucks, abilities not working.
And it gets worser and worser with every patch.
The game can't be named stable.

And that's not my issue, I've changed PC and 3 cities.

I hate console launch and I hope it'll be fine and ZOS will tun their attention to PC game AT LAST.

Leggi

Today's new feature: I'm getting stuck and can't do a thing but move, my abilities and spells don't work 95% of time.
I've relogged, repaired installation, waited for it for 2+ hours, nothing happens in the end.

Leggi

There's no point in sending bug reports - they do nothing, customer support is a group of people, who has some limied and predictable base answers, it's getting worser every patch.

Hate it.

Leggi

It's so cool to find how enemies can attack you and you can't do a thing but move.
Great work , ZOS, great work.

Try opening and closing your inventory. That often "frees" me up from this problem. Not that this is a "good" fix!

Leggi

You must be joking. I had 12 error 1 today, all map stoped acting and I had a rollback in the end (moved to position I've been 15 minutes before 1 "crash") and you say it can be fixed with entering inventory?

sorry to hear that, but it's totally true: ) /random changes & /random fixes, nothing against lag, nothing against hackers, no support at all (both ingame & forum). From when they modified the dmg to more than 6 enemies, dmg reduction etc, it's impossible to pull 20 mobs or players without a screen freezee, they know the problem but simply doesn't cares. i had so much hopes in this game and i'm still subbed cause i like es lore and all, but really, never saw a worst support for a sub-fee(yeah now it's free yuuu) mmo, not even for a free p2p/p2w etc mmo. AND focusing only on a *** console launch for sell boxes only (cause ZOS perfectly knows that noone will play this game on console, but many will buy it) it's a *** no sense, you had many subs on pc, and with decent fixes,patches,support it could be a so *** awesome game, but NO, money&whocares.

This sounds more like lag than a bug. You're still capable of moving while lagging in this game, but unable to perform actions.

Likely not...there are some really assanine 'fixes' to things like that.

They're probably tied together internally in some mucked up fashion which is why the one tricks the other into snapping out of it.

For instance, with the no attack/skills/open Cyrodiil doors thing, it was suggested to roll dodge first. If that didn't fix it, emote /playdead.

I figured they were being facetious, but damn if it didn't work.

Consider the absurdity of the scenario that leads to the bug and the absurdity of the suggested 'fix' becomes less, well, absurd...

The game has been closing to my windows o/s randomly since patch. I think the game may have too many sheep in it now.

I've crashed 4 or 5 times in the last hour and the next to last time I got a 318 error, what for, running around trying to gather nodes. It even happened after I turned off add-ons. I haven't had this much trouble in a long time.

ThatNeonZebraAgain

I had similar issues for months since update 1.6 went live and here's how I finally fixed it: Not just reinstall, but delete (or just move) the ESO folder in 'My Documents' (or wherever you have it saved to). Delete/move the entire folder (back up screenshots and whatever else) and let the launcher rebuild it from scratch. This fixed all of my problems when simply reinstalling, changing things in usersettings.txt, and a bunch of other things didn't work.

Also some addons, such as Master Merchant (and I've heard the newest FTC), cause lag spikes when they refresh/recalculate things. Don't just disable the addons, delete them from the folder to see which might be affecting you.

Sometimes I get a bug where my mouse buttons and hotbar don't work. Hitting shift twice quickly fixes it. I also got stuck in place while in combat, and had to do /stuck.

Hope this helps.

Hmm sad to hear that, though it can be entirely due to the patch.. I've experienced 0 crashes/freezes, and haven't really heard about if from the ones I play with

vladimilianoub17_ESO1

It will get you sooner or later.Im talking about the evil <<1>> and its minions ,318,315,200 error.If reading this post surprise you I invite you to check PC Technical Support forum.Your eyes will bleed at the sight of so many crash post.And people who have never a crash issue are slowly starting to have them.Its a plage and ZOS still have no idea how to fix it.The game its going down and not because is a bad game,but because the increasing technical issues it is having.Is serious stuff.

See my post above about how I fixed my client when I had those same issues.

So I'm wondering if things are going to stabilize with the onset of Windows 10 or if what we have been experiencing so far is just the tip of the Iceberg. ( I'm sure many people will take the free upgrade)

Note: Iv'e posted many times regarding the same issues as the Op. since patch 1.6; just adding a new dimension to the thread.

SeptimusDova

Runs well enough for me to log in and feed the mounts and log back out.

leshpar

Funny, I haven't had any issues at all. I doubt I'm the only one. Noone in zone chat was complaining about crashes or stability or lag today. Noone.

Rasimir

Yesterday I had about 5 crashes in 20 minutes, then nothing for two hours, then crash again. These come and go, maybe related to the instance you get assigned or something like that.

All these are of the kind 'everything stops except yourself'. You still can move around (for a while), but can't mount, or use skills. The symptoms indicate that the client is still working, but the communication to the servers broke. Waiting doesn't help, after some minutes you get kicked back to the login screen in these situations.
Trying to log in after such a crash very often results in the dreaded "error <<1>>". And it is not just me, our guild ts is full of these, often several people running in a group together have the issue together at the same time.

That one is frustrating for a lot of people and I guess there are more people leaving the game because of this and related issues than because of balance and feature bugs. If you can't play at all, you don't get to the other bugs.

I don't consider the stuff in your post trouble at this point, I consider it a part of life with this game. My personal fix is hitting ESC twice (brings menu up and closes it) Works every time for most of the non functioning key problems.

That said, I know the difference between those problems and lag/lost info problems and my internet connection was working fine other than ESO at the time. It almost feels like there hardware predictions for the user load are off and are not running enough systems for the amount of traffic at the time I was playing.

I've also noticed lag is different in different zones that appear to have the same visual population. Example: Teleporting from Craglorn to Malabal Tor the latter has a higher base lag 130 (Craglorn) to 200 (Malabal Tor). The problems with lag spikes were in Craglorn though. I saw jumps from 500 on up to +999. The funny thing is that the chat box keeps ticking along like nothing is wrong, then after a minute or two,,,, CRASH.

Sometimes the problem is caused by non-Microsoft service you're running on you system. Try running it in diagnostic mode(disable all non-Microsoft services and start-up programs). Also, disable all Addons and if problem persists you can start blaming your ISP or ZOS.

I have no idea what in the world they are doing when they are putting patches up. There is obviously no quality control for PC version. The last couple of patches I have noticed a huge jump in lag, strange error messages when you are booted from the game and things that were suppose to be fixed in earlier patches are broken worse than they were before.

Here are my screen shots to prove it. These are all from today.

I get this error code daily. This happens when I first sign in and get to my character select screen. Once I select the character I want to play, I usually get a very long loading screen. 90% of the time, it will not load the character and I will get this error message.



Two patches ago, I noticed enemies were starting to move themselves through walls and locked cell doors and while they were able to attack you, you would not be able to attack them. I got lucky with this guy and was able to kill him today.



I also get strange graphics ui bugs like this one. This Khajit has a very, very strong tail. So strong, she can use it like a chair.



We all like to think we are awesome and powerful, but I just can't believe my DK is so OP the only way for enemies to flee is to levitate.



They are so good they can even attack me while levitating in the air. I wish I had that ability.


I even get this strange one a few times where almost every weapon in my inventory is listed in red and I cannot use, even though I am the required level to be able to use it. It happens with armor as well.



I have no clue what ZOS did, but it it bugging up their game more than anything. I think they need to spend some time going through it and getting rid of redundant codes and make sure they are not just laying code over old code without cleaning out the broken stuff. If we get this sort of stuff on Console, this game is going to be dead before the slaughterfish have a chance to get to us.

Daemons_Bane

Once again, can't be ZOS fault only.. if it was, we would hear way more complaints ingame.. none of that stuff has ever happened to me yet, neither have I seen it mentioned in the chat

Nebthet78

I see people in game complaining about it all the time in zone chat. Especially when there are lag spikes.

I, like many other players, am tired of spending my time making bug report after bug report with nothing being done about it. There is no point if it isn't going to get fixed.

Daemons_Bane

Lag spikes I see mentioned, but not that much.. may be because I rarely venture intl Cyrodiil, since imo it's false PvP

SeptimusDova

Lag Spikes, FPS drops, Disconnects,and mail refusing to refresh. Are what I mostly see in chat as far as issues in game as well as wtb/wts X bite .

If the "<<1>>" error code was worth gold, I would be the richest resident of Tamriel.

@Nebthet , first things first, fixed it for you.

Yeah, that's been ongoing for a long time. The invisible attack-free barriers are apparently one-way only, as they generally have no issue killing you.

We all like to think we are awesome and powerful, but I just can't believe my DK is so OP the only way for enemies to flee is to levitate.

It's because your the wrong class, mate. If you were Sorc you could do it with ease. Just login:

I give you "SORC: Greater Necromantic Leviation."(In case you can't see it, that's me about 30' above the banker in Vulkel Guard. The death thing is merely a technicality.)

A couple of my other characters tried it, but they just end up in the new DLC Adventure zone, the mire under the effing city:If it continues to happen, I'm going to send feedback recommending they institute a new slash command /StuckAgain.

I even get this strange one a few times where almost every weapon in my inventory is listed in red and I cannot use, even though I am the required level to be able to use it. It happens with armor as well.

Now this one's different. I get the inverse of that. My VR14 w basically every craft, skill, and passive morphed and maxed, cannot craft armor or weapons...Not even a Level 1 (not VR1) dagger or boots.

Have the mats, have the required skills - they even highlight and let me add more to up the level/value. No option to create ever comes up.

I can make you some soup, and add it to a vial that will give you three different potion effects. If it's too hot, I can even add a Legendary Glyph of soup cooling.

Just don't ask me to make you a spoon.

Beyond that, I ran with a total of 6 people yesterday. Three of them crashed 5 times in a matter of hours, one getting stuck in a moving forward animation. We considered having her bronzed.

This is beyond ridiculous at this point. Looking at the shear size of the patch notes and the number of long term things they fixed, there is absolutely no reason for these kinds of things.

And, to save all of you the trouble, it's not my video card or the machine. I rebooted my router, changed the batteries on my mouse. I even reversed the network cable between my computer and router, you know, just in case I had them plugged into the wrong ends... Figure I'd save CS the trouble of asking me.
