Soooooooo many load screens!! (Xbox one Eu)

Hammy01

I have not done any PVE content for over a week now but today I decided to go and gather some skyshards.... I keep getting constant load screens just running around from skyshard to skyshard (Oh and these load screens are not short either). Not sure what ZOS has done lately but this is getting out of hand and needs to be fixed.

I think I am going to go back to Cyrodiil where there are very few load screens... however there I have to worry about crashing to dashboard every time I go to turn in my PVP quest.

It's really, really bad, not only in open world where it's not uncommon to only be able to take 10 steps in between each load screen but also in dungeons and delves as well. Where entire rooms of mobs and sometimes even bosses don't appear for 3 to 5 mins at a time, so half of your group is just throwing out random aoe's.

Yeah... Yesterday I was going to do some of my Harbourage quest but i got tired of having to wait for my companions to fully load in and then have to wait for mobs to spawn. What would have taken me 20 - 30 minutes to complete was taking much longer so i just gave up and went back to pvp.

And yet, I am playing very smoothly, have yet to see a load screen in-zone. The only times I see load screens is when I ask by wayshrining.Even then, wayshrining is <30 secs for me. Not sure why this is, I was thinking its because I have a near perfect connection, Virgin Media UK, 160Mb cable. Also hard-wired XBox, and very little else on my connection.

Consider yourself lucky and hope that your luck continues because you are probably in the minority!!

How is this helping? He has a problem with lag and loading screens. I have the same connection, console is wired and i have the correct ports open. I get like 20ms on rainbow six and i still lag hard on eso, its the servers nobody elses connection.

Why zos never enter these posts i dnt know, they seem to get involved in posts that are about names for characters or dyes for armour, but nooooo when someone mentions something that is important no one seems to care, where are all the console players? Why is nobody telling zos how laggy there servers are and that they need sorting out.

Here is the reply from from zos regarding the awful lag on console. Trying to blame me or sony for there servers, this proves to me they have no plans on sorting the lag out at all.

Response
Greetings,

Thank you for contacting The Elder Scrolls Online team.

We are aware that there are server responsiveness problems that can result when too many players fight in one area.

We recommend that you try the following troubleshooting steps, which should help resolve some lag issues on the Playstation 4:

• Ensure that the latest PS4 system update has been installed.
• Clear the system cache by fully powering down the console for 10 seconds and then restarting it.

If the problem persists, contact PlayStation support for further troubleshooting here:

• SCEA: https://support.us.playstation.com/app/contact_options/
• SCEE: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/get-help/contact-us/

We recommend that you keep an eye on our latest patch notes for information on our most recent bug fixes. You can find all the latest patch notes here: http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/category/patch-notes .

We greatly appreciate your continued interest and support!

Kind regards,
The Elder Scrolls Online team

ZoS has always blamed the players, so its not surprising to see that response. The first year or so the only reply they would give is "Restart your router".

It didnt help anything.

Something else I have noticed lately.. the game does not render everything that it should since the latest patch. I have been at keeps that have one or two towers on the screen and everything else is just not there. I was fighting at the Alessia bridge tonight and from a distance the bridge looked normal but when on it most the walls were missing or see through that and the texture of the land is dull /flat in a lot of places.. reminds me of Minecraft.
