Choppy Gameplay on Consoles

rmatthendrick

Anyone else experiencing choppy gameplay lately on Xbox One or PS4. Sometimes I'll use an ability and nothing will happen or it'll happen 2 seconds after I cast it. Same delay when I try to Dismount my mount or open up any kind of menu. Even walking in and out of buildings takes the game a minute. It's not constant but regular enough to annoying. I've tested my connection, even contacted my cable service, they say everything looks fine on their end. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah, its pretty common at peak hours... usually around 6pm-10pm eastern time on weekdays and it varies greatly on weekends... The servers have a hard time processing all of the requests and it creates a bit of lag... just too many people playing at the same time on the same server...

It is quite the same effect as lag on games like call of duty/halo... Just easier to notice considering every action has an accompanying animation... Call of duty you just randomly skip forward 5 feet and you are none the wiser...

It is a bit annoying during combat sequences... Always end up dead...

I have the same problem....and another very funny too....in a middle of a combat, my weapons disappear, and i can't fight with nothing....i can't use abilities and any kind of attack....only i can run, die or pray for the weapons come back....

It's very funny everything.....a game in beta phase when was released in pc....a game that still in phase beta in console....but a DLC is coming in about 2 months....

On PS4, this has happened to me on several occasions. One night after a recent patch, the lag was so bad that I found myself randomly swinging/spamming abilities at enemies who wouldn't even flinch for several seconds (up to 20, even 60 seconds), and after the game would finally catch up, either said enemies would just lifelessly fall to the ground or I was the one suddenly hitting the floor, going from full health to nothing without warning. It was actually comical, in a way.

So, no, it's not just you (and it's probably not your connection either). It's the servers. I haven't been lagging too much in the past few days, but the game has crashed to dashboard (completely closed the application, some PS4 error involving "CE-" and a "3") multiple times on me. It crashed at least three times yesterday alone over the course of a few hours. When prompted by my console, I submit an error report every time. And every time I wonder if that data ever truly goes anywhere or is used to fix the problem...

Yea it is pretty bad, it gets to the point where if I am in a dungeon with one of our crazy sorcs dropping bloody meatballs every 30 seconds I have to get him to tell me he is about to drop it because I need to preload like 5 heals as the mobs are normally dead before I get out of lag speed and he draws all the aggro hahahahahah

Happened a lot for me last night when I was farming Dwemer Scraps. I assumed it was the large amount of Dwemer Spider corpses on the ground causing the lag. That and a dozen people casting AOE abilities within a small room.

I don't have that at all, but I'm also not doing PVP or dungeons right now. Even at dolmens with 12 or more players I haven't experienced anything like that. I rarely get lag, and have been kicked twice in the last 2 weeks.

For me the issues started the moment I hit the Alik'r Desert (Veteran 9 area). I tried it today and it was nearly unplayable. I'm so close to both leveling and getting out of that zone's story, but I can't effectively do anything. I've tested it by going to other Veteran areas, they seemed okay.
