Random Loading Screens

Alucardo

I've accepted the fact that you may never improve Cyrodiil performance, but can you PLEASE deal with the random loading screens. When I first logged on today I spawn at glade, walk out the door and instantly a loading screen. A few minutes later it goes away and I'm dead, killed by a Nightblade that probably ambushed through the gate or something.
They also happen when just riding around Cyrodiil. Happens mostly at DC when I'm going to Bruma, and when I ride from Ales to bleaker a lot.
Loading screens are savage when you use a forward camp. I'm not joking when I say this, but 9 times out of 10 I never get to successfully use a camp, because by the time the load screen has gone, I'm already dead.
Please do something about them, because they are getting worse, and I fear what it's going to be like in Elsweyr on top of general performance when we have Necromancers raising the walking dead all over the place.
You have a good thing here, ZOS. Don't let these bad optimisations drag on and ruin it. And to the shareholders holding the gun to their heads, please let them do the right thing and fix the server performance.

Peace.

Got like 6-8 yesterday. All of them was in the middle of the fights^^
Impressive.

It's Cydoriil. Always been like that. I wonder why it's not dead yet

Hasn't always been as bad as it is now, but it's progressively getting worse, so I hope something is done before 90% of the game is load screens.

I get them also but they are very short. Still distracting though.

The ones I get in open field are usually short. The longest ones for me happen just after a keep wall is repaired, or I attempt to use a forward camp. They can range from 3 minutes to forever.

It happens in pve, as well. Got one in AA about a month ago, mid-add pull, as well as happening in various towns.

No it hasn't. Loading screens in the middle of fights never used to happen. Sure you might ride up to a large fight and get DC'ed or get a loading screen during a keep repair AFTER a fight was over but what is happening now is ridiculous.

It's happening in open world also. Not just in Cyro.

Just died to 2 of them in a row. As I was getting resurrected I got another load screen and logged off. Gonna go play some WoW with 25ms ping and flawless performance. You should be ashamed ZOS.

I got 3 back to back in less than 1 minutes in Glenumbra between Western Overlook and Baelbourne Rock.

Yup! Rubberbanding, riding along and hit a load screen then come back to find you are dismounted, not being able to interact with objects, randomly tossed to my login screen, etc.

I even made a post about my experience with it and the high pings I get which are causing me to disconnect way too often.

They aren't random. They are the result of a specific event.

They were happening before the event started

Agree.
This has been happening for a couple of weeks now.
It's just getting worse and worse each day.
It's to the point right now that I can barely get any game time in. I am trying to play but who can play when you are dealing with the kind of pings I have been posting in my thread?
I just updated my thread with 3 new posts because once again I am sitting on my LOGIN SCREEN and becoming more and more ticked off each time it happens.

I'll learn one day

Thankfully I'm getting fewer random loading screens than I used to while running around the map, but they still occur a few times a week.
They last 5 to 8 seconds, usually.

I'm getting pings in the 100 to 200 range most of the time anymore, but I can do things like call my banker and he wont show up for 15 seconds, and then I can't interact with him for another 5 or 6 seconds.

I frequently run into invisible walls where there's nothing that appears and I can eventually proceed, or invisible NPCs before they render, or areas where the ground is 'foggy' and other people in my group see the same thing at the same time in the same places.

I became the 'leader' of a guild bank when the people who started it quit the game months ago, and I was the senior guy, we still have about 20 people in the guild, but I'm the only one who logs in anymore.
Anyway - I get 'Waiting on your last transaction' type messages all the time that last for 20+ seconds over and over while depositing or withdrawing, and I'll be the only person who accesses trading with the bank. It's not like the banker has to multitask with other people in 'my guild' all swarming in at the same time.

My fiber access speed is consistently in the 180Mbps range with a 15 ms ping according to speedtest.net, so it's not like I'm on dial-up.
The game is on an SSD, I have 16gig of ram, and an nVidia 1080 with 8 gigs of ram, so it's not like the game should bottleneck running outside of combat in PvE even if it's running on an i5 6600.

My hardware is OK, the servers need more hamsters.

Nothing worse than fighting and a loading screen pops up and when it goes away your dead. The lag and crashes seem to be getting worse too.

I guess novelty stick mounts and poorly designed achievements are more important than actually fixing the performance of this game.
