Why lags and loadscreens more for OLD characters?

Detector

Information on game activity of character has the limits? I create a new character - there is almost no problems. It's bug of server ?

There has been theories the load screens are tied to the number of quests your character has completed. Just theories - I haven't heard anything officially yet.
Would be nice if it were true, because at least we'd know there was a potential fix!

Has already been asked and answered (in the loadscreen thread where they closed the other threads so as to not have 2 dozen loadscreen threads at once) and patch is rolling out this next maintenance I believe he said.

Damn, I must have missed that one. Thanks

It's their new catch up system!

Let the new players have less loading screens and less lag so they can catch up!

Hey guys, we finally have an update for you on this issue. As we've mentioned previously, in the past few patches we've been adding code to the backend to track this issue and give us more data. We're happy to let you know that we have a fix going into Monday's PC incremental patch that should fix the long loading screens - turns out it was tied to anyone that had completed a lot of quests.

Thanks for staying patient with us while we tracked this one down!

Interresting and the "Monday" that Gina is mentioning there, was it supposed to be this monday`s patch?Or the next monday?
As I still keep seeing posts about loading screens too long, also after the 09.11.2015 patch (this monday)

As a heads up - next weeks update (11/16) on PC will have a fix for one of the major causes of the long load screens. This won't fix every load screen issue, but resolves the most frequent cause. We'll continue to work on the issue until we get the load times back to acceptable levels.

Console players, this fix will unfortunately not make Orsinium launch next week. It will go in the first incremental patch which we're targeting for the 2nd week of December.

I bet if you fix this issue you will make many players happier ZOS . As I see all the time posts on the forum complaining about it.

I really hope this fix works.
