NA massive lag issues since few weeks ago!

Krazykov

Anyone from Australia/New Zealand that plays on NA server been having issues?
I used to get a latency of around 220 which was very playable with no problems but since one of the updates its been a constant 330+ up to 380 at all times,
regardless of where you are and what you doing. Nothing changed with my internet so I can't think of anything else that could be causing this.
Also tested with both mods and no mods enabled just in case, makes no difference.
Any suggestions? What happen to NA?

Also was on 220-250ms when I first started, PvP was borderline too laggy to play then now 350ms is the norm and PvP is out of the question. I'm in Western Australia.

Give it a year and 450ms will be the new norm.

I heard the problem is a mix of anti cheat detection and the Akami server (spelling?).

Impossible they just upgraded servers. L2P issue

what you need to do is look for the threads about akamai...

Akamai is the cause of the problem

@Hashtag_ Yes it is an actual thing that is happening... my ping went from 240 to around 350 now

So is there anything we can do? Just submit a ticket I guess and hope they eventually fix it, I'm very close to just uninstalling the game. It's not enjoyable at all with 320+ ping, and its ruined pvp completely.

@Hashtag_ clearly not much of an upgrade, in the classic Bethesda and Zenimax fashion they messed it up. They still can even fix basic things like my weapon disappearing or my bow turning into a skateboard 😂

Lag and high latency has been aproblem for long time for NZL / AUST users - The only fix for the problem is ZOS removing Akamai's DDOS scrubber from the path to the server

True, but it's been playable somewhat, I can handle 220, but since a few weeks ago its been constantly in the red with 330 up to 400 ping even if you just standing in the middle of nowhere.

Not only on NA.

XBOX-EU is also suffering

Well, if all platforms are hit, this gives us all a chance, that something can be fixed on software level, since I highly doubt any hardware expansion will happen any time soon. It's quite time-consuming, even if ZOS decides today to upgrade servers it might take several month to implement.

Brissy here, on PCNA, and I play with 360 lat all the time, so am used to it. What I am not used to is not being able to play my character, Stamnecro, at all. They are broken, big time, and f all is being done to fix the issue, or at the very least INFORM us of whats happening and what they are trying to do.
So yea, atm it blows.

I believe that he was poking fun at Zo$, since at E3 they bragged that they recently upgraded their servers. Not OP.

I had to quit last night while playing on PC NA due to the rubber banding. I was questing and no one was around. Silly.
