So here's another.

The lag is on:
Every platform. Every sever. A lot of people, but not everyone. It's been happening since the last patch. PvE, PvP. Cut outs, rubber banding, 1-5 second skill delays. Lag spikes every 5-20 seconds. Again, a lot have this happening non-stop.

    Apparently ZOS is asleep at the *** wheel. Their server is crashing and they're busy making posts about free *** crown crates.

    Moderators are sleeping. This is prime trash posting hour.

    On a serious note has this improved for anyone at all, or is it still horrendously bad? Serious answers please.

    It's been like this for three days, every skill delayed, and constantly rubber banding. I can play any other game perfectly fine..

    Give the game to Blizzard. They have more subs and are growing at a faster rate even still because they give their money's worth of content every patch and expansion ( Tons of raids and loot and explorable areas) they listen to their fans and care more about the games they work on rather then a micro transaction store. They give bugs and flaws serious attention and don't wait every 4-6 months at every big patch to try and fix big bugs that ruin gameplay experience. Honestly ZOS had their chance and they've done horrible. Either get a new development and coding team or give the wheel to someone who can actually drive ffs.

    I skip these lag threads since they usually aren't constructive. But what I experienced since the last 1-2 weeks (not since the MW update) is annoying to say the least. Stuttering with short framedrops. I usually run between 70-100 FPS and 50-80 in crowded cities. Now the frames drop or raise by 10-20ish for a second and I experience repeated stutter. In the cities, at wayshrines, even out in the wild.

    My GF has a different rig and experiences the same. So I think it has nothing to do with my PC.

    I am on PC NA and am on EDT.

    It was about 2 hours or so ago (4:30 AM ish now.) that I had loads of problems and had posted in one of the lag threads.

    Further to your question @Turelus, I just logged in to see if things were better now.

    I logged in ok, loaded a character but found her movements to be jerky, atmo sounds timing was extremely slow, she was jerked back to a previous spot once. She did get her writs done albeit slowly and when she began crafting, noticed the mat and armor piece pics in the crafting windows were non existant for a while. She did manage to deliver the writs however even through all that.

    Second character loaded at around 4:00 AM ish and things seemed better though there was a bit of lag at times. Having said this, she is currently stuck in a load screen, since about 8 minutes having taken a wayshrine to get to Coldharbour.

    Thus, things are not really better. :(

    Thanks TempusFugit.

    I think ZOS are aware now so hopefully things will improve if they haven't already. Posting additional and constructive updates will help them though so if anyone is having problems do that.

    PC EU here, no lag since Morrowind, whatsoever. Cyrodiil has never been better, even when lots of people are on the screen at once (Vivec).

    The only thing that still happens, every few days, is one (1) infinite loading screen in Cyrodiil when it's heavily hectic and I wanted to revive somewhere.

    The other 99% of the population disagree on this. Lag has been pretty bad, even in PvE zones and PvE instances. Must be all those empty arenas and mountains they put outside of PvE instanced zones...

    Serious answer is my lag has improved from what it used to be, being on the other side of the world as well.

    I think too many people are playing the game.

    ZOS spent millions on advertising but has not upgraded the servers to be able to handle the stress.

    I doubt that's the case as it wasn't unplayable at launch nor at Morrowinds launch which would be the highest PCU (Peak Concurrent Users) times.

    Then again I guess I am just talking my own views, I could be wrong.

    PC EU is laggy as hell, fps drops with no reason and lag spikes all day long.
    Getting 700 ping in dungeons, 500 ping in my unfurnished home, I'm afraid of entering Cyro with such fabulous performance.
    It started few weeks ago and it's getting worse.

    I play myself and haven't experienced this. I do sometimes get spikes but it's not been server wide crippling lag.

    Where are you playing from and what hours were you playing?

    Central Europe. Before Morrowind performance was much better, <100 ping and lag spikes were very rare.

    I play from SEA but you can tell it is not like normal lag (pre-morrowind lag due to distance was OK, I got used to it over time).

    Now there are spike of lag that made game almost impossible since this week-end.

    Well I certainly don't have my own server. I have a relatively high-end PC for my work that I also play on ESO. The game feels so *much* better than before Morrowind.

    What I think is bizarre... I can understand lag at Dark Anchors because of the multitude of players, but when you're by yourself out questing and are having rubber banding and severe lag (1-2 seconds between firing abilities) something is seriously wrong... but I have yet to hear ZOS state anything about being aware of the problem. This is another topic where, "silence from ZOS speaks volumes"... either they are ignoring it or are unable to figure out what is causing it; they probably figure that if they don't say anything then they don't have to take ownership of the problem.

    This is happening to me too in Australia. Yet for me the lag starts at 7pm AEST and lasts till 12am AEST. Yet outside of this time frame it works perfect, even in pop locked cyrodiil campaigns. So no idea what on earth is going on with the servers lately.

    Been like this since Morrowind patch release. More issues, bugs, lags, crashes and other technical dysfunctions and whatnots come with every new released contents (and at times, following weekly maintenances), since I don't know how long I could remember. Yet, we are still on playing this game, whereas we could had rage quit or say esta lavista, baby. What curse does Zen/ZOS have on us players to continue on through such madness!
