    It's a known issue Zenimax is constantly working to fix. Just hang in there, it'll be fixed eventually.

    I don't and I pity anyone that does for disappointment would slap them silly lol

    It is an ongoing work in progress that could take even 5 more years for all we know.

    Whatever happened with the Thieves' Guild patch definitely made it worse. Every MMO I've played (including this one) I've done so at 45-50ms latency.

    However, the second TG went live my latency shot up in a wildly fluctuating kind of way - usually 80-115ms for regular gameplay and 200+ in Cyrodiil.

    Very noticeable.

    Your not alone. This post can easily become a list of people posting all the lag they have had. There is nothing we can do about it. Either we suck it up and ignore the lag, or we get in smaller battles.
    We Fight For Cyrodiil.
    We fight for The Daggerfall Covenant.
    We fight for The Aldmeri Dominion.
    We fight for The Ebonheart Pact.
    We fight for Tamriel!

    Yeah. I've noticed after TG that with my kids computer it takes about 15 minutes to get to the character selection screen after logging in. Doesn't happen on this PC though.

    It wont be fixed, they cant find the problem and after 2 years its just not changing one bit. If theyd just throw out polishing touches in place of a dlc every now and then maybe they can fully concentrate on it.

    The big problem i see is that this lag is now not only in cyrodiil,

    Doing my dailies this week i noticed at times that there was huge lag in the dungeons,
    Skill taking up to 10 sec to fire,

    i thought it might be my internet connection but asking the team cleared my isp pretty quickly as they were all experiencing game breaking lag.

    I think the main problem is the anti bot code or code they have in place, that is straining the server they would need to get rid of the worst of it or change it so it does not impact the client as much. This would fix a lot of the lag and something I think they would need to do in the future. They would have no choice but to do this in order to lesson the effect the coding has on the server.

    Also its the sever calculations, when people or to many people are in a group zerging this causes strain on the server causing the lag some people experience its worse in cyrodill and orcisum because of the group content they have in that dlc. I suspect trails would be just as bad as well.
    They will have to undo whatever s causing the server unable to handle these calculations or its just going to get worse, and not better as more content is added to the game.

    Maybe splitting megaserver into more local servers would ease the lag. When people from all parts of Europe, Africa, Australia etc play together on the same EU megaserver, and some have ping 10 when others 300+, how it influences the overall performance of battles. I'm not an expert, I can only assume it does matter, or maybe not?

    I don't think its that its the coding this game once was able to handle at least hundreds of players in one location till they changed the code, to basically curve the botting problem then it got the way it is today.
    They have to change and get rid of coding to try and curve the lag problem, but the main problem game with craglorn. When they added the anti bot code.

    See the delete limit hurts botters so they won't come back til this is free to play because of zos not tolerating it, and also not tolerating false accounts created by creditcards that are stolen or that are fake , they would be unwise to come back so I think they need to remove the code but keep the delete limit in place to make sure they don't come back.

    This thread makes feel that I am not alone, I'm sure there are other players from different alliances and classes that have ran into a breach or a large fight , got the loading screen then dead. Or my personal favorite, survived a large onslaught for a keep, wait for the big tick to come in and then you get booted.......

    It's a feature. Learn to live with it. I seriously doubt it will ever be completely fixed.

    Ive been playing eso on Xbox one since launch day. I have had almost no lag until this latest patch. After this latest patch though I have been lagging non stop. It's not just in cyrodiil though. I've done maelstrom arena at least 100 times but after this last patch it's so laggy I can't even play it. Something is seriously wrong if this game went from 40 vs 40 player battles with minimal lag to not being able to handle a tiny solo instance with hardly any enemies. What ever they did they need to change it back to the way it was. I'm done playing until this is fixed.

    Very true, but I think 1 year is plenty of time to solve an issue.

    I was shocked since the last patch. I haven not seen these massive lags that I hear about on the forum. I was middle of a zerg bout 50+ yellows and even more reds(they ended up pushing us out of the keep and wiped out the zerg) with all the aoe and siege up and player movement on screen I was shocked to see 0 lag(or very minimal) I had no issues with lags or disconnects I was with the battle all of 20mins before they managed to push us out of the keep(walls repaired faster than our siege could damage) and wipe the zerg.


    This being said how big are these battles you all are in that have such lag and issues? Because in the campaigns I play this is one of the larger battles we see unless it is a tri faction battle going at one keep or something.

    It's not that I'm ok with it, it's just there's no point stressing over it, and I also understand it's no easy fix and will take time, regardless of how much of it. Also I don't really lag THAT badly personally lol
