How is the performance after today's server upgrade?

LeinadOrarogep

As per the title, how are you finding the performance after today's upgrade?
Is the login queue gone?
I was expecting an official update from ZOS, but saw nothing.

Were you SERIOUSLY expecting meaningful communication from ZoS? Are we talking about the same ZoS? Lack of communication is what they are known for.

Upgrade? Just maintenance afaik.

Not sure if ZOS staff are in the office yet, I would expect someone from their team to say something when they are.

Only info I have seen on updates so far has been the official Bethesda Support Twitter.

What server upgrade? It's just maintenance.

Everyone,

We've been working very hard on prepping additional server hardware to accommodate our burgeoning player base, especially in the EU - and I'm very happy to say that we've done it much faster than anticipated. We are wrapping up the work, and will have the additional capacity online for PC EU players before the upcoming Easter holiday weekend.

Here's how it will work:

• We will take PC EU offline tomorrow (Thursday, April 18) morning at 12pm CEST/6am EST for maintenance to configure the megaserver to recognize the additional hardware. Stay tuned for messaging from our Social and Community teams on how long the outage will be.
• At some point next week we will do the same for PC NA - even though we haven't had to turn on queuing for PC NA, we want to make sure additional capacity is added there as well to keep up with the growing population on that megaserver.

Adding server capacity should alleviate load-causing server problems and enable us to raise our "concurrent" supported user number well above our nightly maximums, while also removing the queues. We are still working on overall client architecture and performance fixes, which are unrelated to this particular issue. You should see more information about our client performance progress in the coming months.

I know that this has not been an awesome couple of weeks for our EU PC players, which is why we have worked so hard to get additional capacity online as soon as possible. While having a growing player population is great, we know it’s not a good experience to have the population outgrow the current server hardware, or to have to wait in a queue to get into the game you love to play. We'll definitely keep an eye on things and will keep everyone updated as warranted.

Thanks,

Matt

In short this should solve the login queue issue on PC-EU
Good chance it reduces lag in battleground and dungeons as servers are run less stressed.

Notice though they didn't specify they would be adding additional hardware at this time.

maintenance to configure the megaserver to recognize the additional hardware

Presumably the performance increase would happen after the new hardware is added.

Actually you're right, it seems they just installed the drivers

But they also said "we are wrapping up the work, and will have the additional capacity online for PC EU players before the upcoming Easter holiday weekend.", so i don't know what to think.

Guild stores respond better but not as good as it was 2 years ago. Ping is still a laughable 90-250. No que so far.

If they did anything it was the minimum and that isn't enough for a game that charges for the initial software, a monthly sub and has a currency store. But hey we put up with it for 5 years why would they think we wouldn't for another 5.

Gythral

Guild bank/store is still bad (but maybe not AS bad as last week), random loading screens and disconnects still exist but again maybe not as bad as they have been, but overall things are still far worse than they should be!

everlastingodeb17_ESO

The server is still horrible... Tried some battlegrounds and the response from the skills and bar swaps are really slughish, everythings seems to perform in slomo haha

FlyingSwan

There are no queues but performance is still garbage. Also completely re-installed Windows and all games today, so no ESO Add-ons yet...

the_other_Alice

I didn´t do much just some regular crafting, farming, cleaning house at the guild bank etc and sadly there is no real improvement besides the atm non existent queue... It still took ages to list an item at the guild store - ping had some spikes, fps some drops - all that before prime time.
So it´s not as unplayable as before, but it´s usually better the first two days after maintenance and gets worse every following day...we´ll see

LordTareq

Performance still sucks

@ZOS_GinaBruno Remember that transparency stuff that y'all talked about with Elsweyr? Did y'all lose it somewhere?

everlastingodeb17_ESO

just bring back the queues, the actual state of the server is garbage, much better during the queue period, just bring it back

LiraTaurwen

I find that skills won't work, pressing keybind to use pots does nothing etc. My ping is the same as yesterday so I think my internet connection is fine.

Guild Trader is slow as usual, entering BGs get some weird bug with people not showing on the group. Worse of all is trying to use skill and nothing happens.. wth it wasn't like this before, so what happened?

Also I wish they had been more clear in their post regarding what was going to happen today... Did they updated the hardware or just some software? Why were we not told of any information of how things went?

Skills don't work as advertised (not firing when activated)
NPCs disappearing when approached, and then popping back in when you move.
Mini Oblivion portals that don't port in dremora, then when you walk away it disappears and then drops them (really this time) in a slightly different position.

Some things I've experienced today.

xenowarrior92eb17_ESO

same as b4...nothing new

Capacity upgrade doesn’t necessarily mean a performance upgrade does it? It just means there won’t be a queue. They said nothing about performance increases so don’t expect it.

VinayExile

If you really think zenimax is actually improving and spending money on something after 5 years where they dont immediately see a return in cashflow return on..... you should go to a hospital because being that delusional isnt healthy kappa

No it just will not be an queue, some chance it will be some performance improvements in instances as servers are not at stressed.

2 weeks ZOS time could mean 2 years normal people time

everlastingodeb17_ESO

Just bring back the queues, it was fine during the queues period, I play out of peak hours and jt was fine when the queues were enable after yesterday it is a total garbage experience, better to uninstall and go play something else because the server is a total piece of crap.

Edziu

more loading screens, more bugs but hey! they will fix emperor gaining today!
