Does the game behave extremely weirdly after the patch?

Octopuss

I don't know what's going on, but the game - especially combat - seems to feel awkward and laggy. I have stable ping of less than 100ms, and yet skills sometimes don't go off after pressing keys, trying to activate synergies do nothing good 50% of the time, and similar weird stuff is happening.

Noticed renewed lag in cyro this morning with very low population just 1v1. Bar swap lag is possibly back.

YES

Somewhat unplayable right now. Tons of desyncs, extreme lag, skills don't go off, synergies don't work, etc.
And apparently I can cancel jabs with a light attack now and then get stuck in 2-3 seconds of not being able to do anything, great new feature and quite definitely a buff to Templars.

YES! I have noticed this. Effects blocking, jabs, interrupt and other things. It is very annoying.

Im running between 200-500 ms ping, checked my connection a half dozen time, pinging for 30-40 ms on the net. My normal in game ping is 115-150 ms. Getting more frame freezes too.

Not really it’s just we are more focused due to new things being added, sadly those new things often come with new bugs on top of old bugs

Whenever a large increase of players come it’s often very much the same as the first 15 days after any major update

Octopuss

I gave up trying to run dungeons, but I can't friggin' even craft! Deconstructing items is noticeably laggy. I just ended up shutting the damn game down.

Seriously ZOS, get your stuff together, IT'S GETTING WORSE AND WORSE EVERY SINGLE PATCH!!

j3crow

I've noticed distinct lag in my jabs that was not there before

MrGarlic

Yes.

But in fairness, it was like that for me before the patch too, but it does seem worse now.

Light attacks becoming heavy attacks that are unstoppable.
Skills not activating on first key-press, sometimes taking 2-3 key-presses.
Bar swapping not happening on key-press.
Someone else's rapid-manoeuvre proccing on my character even when not grouped with them.
Lots more loading screens even when just casually walking around overland towns.

etc

For some reason, my execute animation isn't going off. I'm specifically using Killer's Blade and it's just freezing. Enemies die a second or two later, but no visual.

That appears like what I was experiencing.

Yepp, also noticed that my staff heavy attacks now often "get lost" when i hold down the attack button

This used to work just fine, now i often have to release the button and press it again for the character to continue to attack.

SydneyGrey

I've noticed a ton of bugs that weren't there before the patch.

Loading Screens man. Sometimes five minutes.

That and the game completely freeze framing at times

Tandor

Open world PvE was running normally for me on PC EU earlier, after the patch.

Kalante

Game is dying due to dev neglect confirmed, can't wait for this to hit console it's not like eso performs horrible already on console. This game had so much potential.

I rarely have issuse and today its been spent at the stuck load screen

DieAlteHexe

Aside from the usual oddly long loading time into Vivec, everything else (overland) has been as normal.

Yes, definitely. I was doing some solo questing with my stamplar today, and it felt like participating in a siege at peak Cyrodiil times. Jabs were especially lag-tastic, but everything was either slow or not firing: boss heavy attacks, my light and heavy attacks, blocking, skill activation, etc. Even when things DID fire, there sometimes weren't any animations for it.

One particular oddity was that, a couple seconds after I'd left a combat where I used Jabs, I'd hear the Jabs sound effect. In one case, I even got a weird ability proc off the Jabs, despite my weapon being sheathed and combat having ending a good three seconds earlier.

I also got an endless loading screen when porting from Vvardenfell to Malabal Tor, which is not something that typically happens.

It seems to be getting worse. Standing in Vulkhel guard bank getting 45 FPS and 999 ping. Lag spikes now are more severe and more frequent. Even when FPS and ping say its not lagging everything seems to have a delayed reaction. To crappy for me to even steal anything. Was considering doing my pledges but probably going to have to skip that today as dungeons are always far worse than OW.

Edit: may try to stab-pick-pick people and see if i can pick them twice before they hit they ground.

Annalyse

Just doing some dolmens and my puncturing sweeps keeps sticking. No game lag, but she's briefly just stuck with a giant spear until it starts working again. Only lasts a few seconds but it was not happening yesterday.

Edit: switched to sorcerer for awhile and had no problems. Seems to only be the one templar skill that is bugging for me.

Morbash

ESO has always behaved weirdly after every patch.

firedrgn

I guess i dont get to play today. Oh well first world problems

oghannon_ESO

My spouse and I were running around Elder Root the other day, and we both got booted from the game at the same time. When we were able to log back into the game a few minutes later, we were both mightily distressed to discover that the preceding 10-15 minutes of game time (including buying crafting materials from the guild traders, training horses, depositing/withdrawing stuff from the bank, etc.) were now GONE. Like we'd been in a 15-minute lag spike where nothing we did was actually...well, real. But then I remembered that we'd seen other people running around Elder Root the whole time, so a giant lag spike that lasts more than 10 minutes, and includes other players??

Confusion reigns supreme.

I dunno, lots of weird *** going on post-patch. But that incident took the cake for us.

Lag spikes and disconnects whole day...

I'm not touching this game for a week when it comes out on console tomorrow.

Ragnarock41

5 times out of 10 my take flight just doesn't even work properly.

Altyrann

Same issues here. Abilities may or may not fire when I press a key. Heavy attacks sometimes fail to start when I hold the left button and sometimes start by themselves when I don't. If I try to use elemental blockade immediately after a bar swap as I used to quite happily, it now has a 50% chance of firing. Ground targeted abilities (Blazing Spear, Caltrops, Hail etc.) are very hit and miss when casting. Combat fluidity has taken a real hit since Dragon Bones and doesn't seem to be fully fixed yet.

Glad it’s not just me. Was testing the grim focus change and weaving felt off. I’d let light attacks animation go 100% and weave strife and the light attack would just not register. Thought it was the usual clunky animation of my magblade and logged my Stamplar which is an entirely different weave with jabs.

You hit that light attack on the last swing of jabs and it does the usual thing with weaving that where it swings the spear but I noticed follow up ability would not always activate as that swing held for a second, then I’d see another light/medium attack.

Gave me the feeling like they tried to change animation canceling again
