MAJOR LATENCY PROBLEMS ON ALL NA PLATFORMS for last 3 days and no single reply from ZOS yet!

MLGProPlayer

I'm at 150-180 ping. 1 Gbit internet. East coast.

Prior to this issue, I would usually be around 100-120.

For reference, I average 20-30 ping in Overwatch and CS:GO.

Im guessing its in the to hard basket like many other things.

I've been playing on the NA server for the last couple hours. It's been fine.

So this is possibly the issue?

I blame North Korea.

I'm in Texas(Lubbock) and I'm having horrible lag. Not that I have the greatest connection but its only bad playing ESO. Normally its kind of bad, last few days has been unplayable for the most part.

I think you are onto something here. If you look at that timeline there were very little problems early this morning. That was also the time that everyone was saying that they weren't encountering any problems in the game as well. I myself logged in about 7:30am EST and and didn't experience any major spikes until around 8:30...just like the timeline. I thought everything had been fixed. Then it came back with a vengeance.

Everyone is not going to be routed through this node, but those that are, are going to experience some major problems. Good observation Bryong.

And.. today is a holiday in the US.. with lots taking a vacation day for Monday to make a four day holiday.

LET THEM HAVE A HOLIDAY.

Not a ZoS problem...hahaha you're full of jokes. So all the countless people posting here and on Reddit and the countless people talking about it in-game all of which happened around the same time frame is just a coincidence??..

I can't even count how many time I've seen "the connectivity issues have been resolved" posted by ZoS after issues like this... but this time is different... let me rest my router and see if that helps...nope...

Ok.. will make it simple for you.

I have been playing 13 out of the past 14 hours on PCNA and never had one spot of lag.

ITS NOT THEIR SERVERS (or routers) or it would affect everyone.

OC_Justice

I just got booted 3 times in a row within about 15 minutes.
I think the servers are gonna crash soon as i went almost all day without any lag or issues.

As for letting them have a holiday...lol.
This is the entertainment industry, guess what no holidays for you. Your job is to keep us entertained on our days off.
Get it, Got it, Good.

Really? in the last 2 hours I have lagged out and crashed to the start menu 3 times with ping popping from 100-999+. That mirrors EXACTLY what has happened the last 4 days in ESO. Prior to this session I spent 4 hours in The Division and ARK and had zero issues with my normal ping of 40-80. It IS a ZoS issue.

What part of "the connectivity issues have been resolved" did you not understand?

They have had issues in the past thet they have resolved. This is a Fact. You can not argue it...

I have been playing this game since beta and never once had an issue with lag, but i have seen others that have and i have seen ZoS acknowledge issues they have had and have resolved... Meanwhile i was clueless that they even had a problem as i did not experience it.

So for you to simply say that its not their servers because its not effecting you makes you sound ignorant.

max_only

Every time at the same time.

I'm in COS (for the 5th time today) and I've been kicked to login. 1:38am EST. pc/na. Same time as last time

Heruthema

Just got a 15K PR and booted from game. And still no response from ZOS!!!!

Don't even bring up the holiday like that's why they aren't doing anything about it. This crap has been going on for weeks and ZOS is well aware of it.

Edit...nvm, this is about NA platforms

It's long weekend to oversee July 4th independence day. Try again tomorrow.

ESO is a world wide game. Just because the server is in NA doesn't mean that support stops during a holiday of that specific country. This is what holiday support staff and call-in's are for.

If you couldn't access your bank for 4 days would you still say "oh its a holiday weekend, never mind". Granted ESO is a game but its still an (optionally) paid for service, for which customer service should be granted.

You can't access your bank on these days lol unless digitally, but all banks are closed gg

ViolentBPI

I am only saying this to bring up a good point. How many times can we post befor you get better server support of some sort. I'm not a tech but I'm sure there's something that can be done. With all the morrowind players you must have enough excess resources to upgrade your servers?

There are countless people posting here, on Reddit and people talking about it in-game

I can't even count how many time I've seen

"The connectivity issues have been resolved" posted by ZoS

After issues like this...
but this time it will be different...

Is there any way of getting a real response as to why the servers were so bad on July 4th 2017?

I've got 100Mb/5Mb with a steady 40ms ping to Xbox Live and can't make it through my daily random dungeon, smh.

Not gonna lie when I played with those stats I can't play the game much at all not till I was sitting at 1G upload and 1G download was when. The game became playable for me on Xbox NA

Vercingetorix

There is currently no reason to play ESO right now due to:
- lack of server stability
- lack of sustain makes build diversity non-existent
- monotonous and slow gameplay
- heavy attacking is the only form of DPS that is allowed in Morrowind
- zero balance in PvP
- ineffective and unrequested nerfs as a result of PvP ruin PvE content
- non-operating group finder
- ZoS refusing to communicate with player base about the issues ESO is suffering from

Pick your favorite one and uninstall the game for 6 months.

I've been playing a lot the past 2 days as I was home and have not experienced anything near what some posters are stating.
Game has not crashed at all for me and I've had maybe one or two lag spikes.

I'm central Texas and using Verizon wireless broadband as my IP.

Pretty sure the ZOS servers are in Texas so maybe it's just effecting people on the east coast?

Nope, I'm in East Texas, and while I generally have a very smooth connection, the last two days has been a pure lagfest for me

I'm not having any issues on XB1 NA from Atlanta, GA.

I don't know about that. I've seen Texans just as irate as the rest of us over lag posting on other threads so be happy if you aren't but spare some sympathy for the rest of us.

Hey guys, just want to reiterate what was put on the Bethesda Support Twitter account that we are actively investigating the latency issues.

I'll just leave this here...

You realize games take around 300 - 700 kbps of consistent bandwidth to play... Right? Gigabit up/down is WAY overkill for gaming.

Edit: Is this still occurring? I'd really like to be able to play when I get home.

Next time they are doing maintenance and someone complains, they will probably point to this thread...

mandricus

As someone pointed out in this thread ( https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/357557/really-were-gonna-get-the-silent-treatment), it is probably a routing issue happening at backbones level, on a NA regional basis. Probably Zos has nothing to do with it, nor they can do anything in order to fix the problem. It is happening on the customer's network side. You can't really blame them if your ISP has some routing issues. As for me, I can report that on Pc-Eu everything is working smoothly and with no issues at all. No one is complaining. P. S. Please note someone in that thread reported that is playing on PC Na from South Africa, without having any issues.

Why then, would I have a 30-40ms ping to Xbox Live if it were my ISP? Why then, would every other online game I have work perfectly?

Because every other online game doesn't have their servers located in the exact place that ZOS's are, and route the traffic through the same area.

It's like saying "I didn't run into any traffic on the I-20 interstate driving to Dallas, so therefore there shouldn't be any traffic on the I-10 interstate driving to Los Angeles!"

Makes no sense.

I just logged in without my VPN and was, again, getting the 400ms ping spikes every 30 seconds or so.

Then I logged out, reactivated my VPN, rerouted my connection and chose different nodes, and voila, no more lag.

It is a node NEXT to the ZOS servers, but it is NOT the ZOS servers.
