Hello. I've had network issues with ESO recently (in the last few weeks). High ping, crashes, etc. I usually play on two different locations, in my engineering school campus, which has a top tier network (and no issues with ESO), or at home. I'm currently at home, until early january, and usually, I have around 80 ping in game, and a download speed of about 800 kB/s to 1,2 MB/s. Today I noticed that the latest patch was taking an unusually long time. By the time I typed this post the download succesfully ended, but I need some advice.
I'm using my phone as a hotspot right now, because the quality is comparable to the wifi, but I have the network for myself. I tried with a cabled connection, but it did result in a crash while I was hitting a target skeleton, in my home In Game... (During the undaunted event, I know it was not the best time to try and play).
I'm looking for ways to increase my stability, and explanations on why I could find myself in the above situation (see picture...).
What can I do to improve my gaming experience, beside:
- Removing the addon folder and uninstalling Minion.
- Connecting my computer directly to the router with an ethernet cable.
?
I saw in the FAQ that opening some ports on the router could help the performances. I tried. I opened the specified ranges, while taking care of not using already attribued internal ports, and set up the firewall to allow the new ports I opened, and it did result in a total inability to log in, so I just disabled the new parameters (Don't tell my network teachers...) . Should I contact my ISP for information about the correct procedure?
I know my connection is at fault, but it's been better before, I could run the game without issues. I'd like to complete some trials, and my moral took a hit because of the disconnects and high ping, I gave up on some days for the undaunted event. Today in optimal situation, I never drop under 130 ms of ping. And I often have ping spikes, delays for ability to fire, etc...
Anyway, can I expect some improvements in the months to come?
I'm on PC EU, in France.
