Maintenance for the week of December 22:
• NA megaservers for maintenance – December 22, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 8:00AM EST (13:00 UTC)
• EU megaservers for maintenance – December 22, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 8:00AM EST (13:00 UTC)

Got lag? It might not be just the ESO sever.

At the end of August, a new Windows 10 update deployed. This is an optional update called KB4512941 (for build18362.329) meant to fix several bugs. Some users who have installed this new Windows 10 update are running into severe performance issues and if you feel like your Windows 10 is suddenly slower, you might want to uninstall it.

Any other insightfuls?.

    As reported by Windows Latest, the new Windows 10 update is causing large CPU spikes (30-40%) for some users who have installed it. Some users are even reporting 90% CPU usage and you can see some of the reports here and here. This is reportedly due to a buggy version of Cortana shipped with the latest update and you will see SearchUI.exe taking up way too much of your CPU resources.
    I have Cortana disabled. Also, what @Kel said. Unless the issues are experienced only by very few people, the prime suspect should be ZOS. Not your machine, not your add-ons, not your Internet connection. When entire groups get disconnected at the same time, when multiple people crash to the desktop at the same time, those are indications that the game code is at fault.

    The consoles aren't suitable for this game thats why. Since moved to Xbox One X, lag like 80% decreased, FPS drops only on major seige battles, crashes maybe 2 in the last 3 months.

    The servers isn't the end of all means and the holy grail

    I disagree with that logic. If ALL users are simultaneously affected, then it's ZOS, but a single node on the internet can fail, and drop all the users running through it in one event. So it's more likely to be the internet when that happens. Some times a single node failure can be bypassed, and all that happens is a ping spike (and lag), but the unwritten law says you'll get the worst case every time.

    That is 100% not true across the board. Your first statement is (Consoles really aren't built for this level of graphics intensity), but the rest is not. I have a One X, and while my FPS is better than many others, before the most recent patch, it was unplayable. The game would actually stutter almost to a stop any time I encountered an NPC or an environmental change, such as rain or snow. Cyrodil was a guaranteed disconnect any time I encountered more than two players at a time. If I was near a keep when it upgraded or downgraded, guaranteed load screen with frequent resultant disconnects. All this with fantastic internet (wired) and a top tier machine. Please don't dismiss the issues many players have been facing for a long time now. It's not helpful.

    That being said, this patch has helped revert many of the issues last patch brought on, and it's playable again at least. The native lag is still there though.

    You can say its not the truth its my truth, who are you to say my own experience is not reality, I am on Xbox EU, PVE zones where a joke last patch but Cyro was fine no problem. I am on a direct fiber optic line, xbox one x, external SSD, really no major issues happy with the game, I can say many times people say they are playing a slide show, then for me the FPS is dropped but still in full control and knowing what is happening, so I am a happy camper, but you properly are now coming in to tell me that actually not true ether :(

    You have it backwards, the game is not suitable for consoles if it is not optimized to run smoothly on the platform.

    Was lagging before that update. The only thing I noticed after update was a higher than normal ping for a few days but it went back to normal. Don’t try and make excuses for the server issues that have plagued this game for 4 years now.

    Hold on. The game has been out for years on consoles. The excuse that "its meant for PC" doesn't work anymore. Especially since there are dozens of online games on PS4 which run infinitely better than ESO. GTA Online immediately comes to mind, where the graphics are phenomenal, there are thousands of NPCs, its open world, there are dozens of lobbies with 20+ players in them, and group instanced content. No lag whatsoever. Oh, and voice chat ACTUALLY WORKS. All the time.

    So...you're on a relatively unpopulated server, knowing full well the largest population plays on NA and is far more likely to experience issues correlating to high pop, and you still want to make the statement that nothing is wrong and it's our machines? No. I'm actually genuinely glad you're having a positive gaming experience, and I wish I were enjoying that myself, but I don't think you're really in a position to determine the game's health given your lack of experience with high population servers.

    Cool...

    Explains nothing about the rampant lag on console in relation to the servers, but eh....this is something.

    The consoles aren't suitable for this game thats why. Since moved to Xbox One X, lag like 80% decreased, FPS drops only on major seige battles, crashes maybe 2 in the last 3 months.

    The servers isn't the end of all means and the holy grail

    You have it backwards, the game is not suitable for consoles if it is not optimized to run smoothly on the platform.

    Wow, who cares end result is the same, but thank you for like nothing, good job, you did a worthless thing really well, I am impressed

    Feel better now big man?
    Other games just as complex as ESO run without as much problems on console.

    As reported by Windows Latest, the new Windows 10 update is causing large CPU spikes (30-40%) for some users who have installed it. Some users are even reporting 90% CPU usage and you can see some of the reports here and here. This is reportedly due to a buggy version of Cortana shipped with the latest update and you will see SearchUI.exe taking up way too much of your CPU resources.
    I have Cortana disabled. Also, what @Kel said. Unless the issues are experienced only by very few people, the prime suspect should be ZOS. Not your machine, not your add-ons, not your Internet connection. When entire groups get disconnected at the same time, when multiple people crash to the desktop at the same time, those are indications that the game code is at fault.

    Backwards.

    If a few are affected its most likely PEBCAK, strange hardware configs, or local ISP issues.
    If a mass of people is affected it is most likely a centralized source such as the ISP used by ZOS or the servers themselves.

    but yah folks if you use Cortana drop this update. I just helped my neighbor with it. It crushed his PC so bad he couldn't watch youtube.

    I'm not a techie, but I can tell you that when an entire faction at a fight in Cyro all disconnects, its not an "us" problem.

    Yeah sometimes, there is probably some degree of something we could do on our end to lessen the nonsense, but oftentimes there is not a dang thing we could do to make our playing experience better. Other than go do something else.

    People need to stop acting like it's the player's fault. I have seen multiple people act like everything that's happening is 100 percent the player's fault. The PS4 HAD handled the game fine for me. Not perfect, but fine. We don't have these problems just because we're console peasants on an inferior machine.

    I am on PS4 NA, and I've had NO major lag issues with my game until Elsweyr dropped. My gameplay experience was smooth and enjoyable with only the usual broken stuff this game suffers from. The vast majority of problems now came with Elsweyr and the patches.

    Since Elsweyr dropped, I have experienced the following:
    • Delayed audio
    • super frequent loading screens: Had 6 loading screens in 3 minutes one time.
    • Infinite loading screens
    • frequent blue screen crashes
    • unloaded shadow people for more than a minute
    • broken gameplay like opposite telegraphs from enemies
    • MASSIVE LAG
    • teleporting to a wayshrine causing lag so bad it's like a slideshow
    • etc etc

    Some of this, like the teleporting lag and shadow people, is just much worse than it was. Other things are brand new problems.

    I know that sometimes players may need to fix things on their end. I'm aware of that and have had to do so in the past infrequently. However, the vast majority of new and inflamed problems of the present, for those who experience them, are not caused by the players or their consoles/computers.

    @xeha_arwen11 Exactly. I had the occasional lag here and there when Summerset came out, but that was mostly PVP or confined to HRC, and even then you could almost predict when it would hit as it was high traffic times (NA server). After Elsweyr, the game is a mess. All of those issues you listed I encounter on a regular basis.

    Overland questing has become laggy. VMA is a nightmare. But the biggest offender is Sunspire. Its almost funny how many glitches you encounter in there, if you are one of the lucky people who are able to breach its impenetrable port in.

    So true. VMA has an unbelievable amount of problems now, Sunspire is atrocious, and when I do Cloudrest I've crashed multiple times trying to get into that trial as have many of my trial-mates. Problems seem to be piling up more and more. There's a lot to enjoy in this game so it's quite upsetting that things have gotten to this state.
