(Still) loading, or the 5th time, Greenshade. Tried all my toons, which are in five different zones, none of them can be loaded.

I had to altF4 to exit the game because I was stuck in an infinite loading screen.

No it isn't. *Goes back to playing Skyrim in disgust.*

Fix your damn game.

Today I reinstalled Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim (not special). Now I just have to mod the crap out of em...

Appears last time I played Skyrim was Dec 1 2015. Time flies.

I left EU for NA, I cant believe how much better quality the connection is even at 120-150 ping... theres no DC, no lag spikes, no bull... it feels much better

No DC, no lag spikes....

Relax buddy, it's probably better than not being able to log in but it's not great at all...

I live in eastern Canada, am with Bell (super fast hot garbage at the same time because it feels less reliable AND I get routed through Colorado then New York before getting on their server.... That's like doing a 5km run loop to go to your neighbor next door...) and that combined with ZOS servers = ganranteed DC's almost daily in Cyrodiil, health desyncs in PvE and PvP etc.

Oh and my ping is 110-120ms at best on a gigabit connection, on a contiguous piece of land with server (yes, I know of undersea cables wtv....).

So yeah, NA mega server is better than EU but it's not as sexy as you present it.

Edit: oh and I DO get lag spikes...

Looks like server is melting once more. Got kicked 2 times in the last 30 minutes in Murkmire, got high ping all the time and skills or swap take 3-4 secs to apply.

And same issues are being reported by other guild members and in the chat zone.

Took me ten seconds to send a message in guild chat just now, and it's getting worse. Gg zos'. You're killing it.

Oh dear, the hamster is starting to wobble.... CODE BLUE, CODE BLUE, 999+ ping
, chat lag....

Yeah, yeah, we can talk about U25 and optimization plans all we like, but event proved once more time that the servers are not coping with the increased player loads. And the upgrade is only thing that can solve it.
What if new chapter brings increased number of new and returning players, will we again suffer every other day with server lags.

Thokri

Went earlier on day to murkmire to get ticket and during that you could get feeling "server is going ***".

gatekeeper13

I ve been kicked 3 times in a row from server in Cyro.

Logged in pvp toon, got into cyro, approached a keep that was under siege, kicked from server.

Log in again, choose my toon, 3 min Cyro loading screen, cant connect to server.

Instead of spending all your resources into money-grab content, fix your completely BROKEN server.

So they claim. I hope they're right, the game sorely needs it. Every zone today have been semi hellish with lag. Murkmire is of course the worst, but it spread throughout the game.

I just hope that redownload does what they promised it would.

Lmao, I have a feeling they just left everything to fall apart until the update, cuz its progressively been getting worse. Any laggier and buggier and you literally will just b e able to stand still. Its taking me 3-6 seconds for abilities to actually fire off / register atm. Its ridiculous.

I am willing to bet they are already doing some background stuff to the server, so that's why it's extra lag and crashes today.

Another day, another broken PC/EU-server. Friday evening, logging into Cyro at 8 pm CET. Queue: 3!

If anybody needs any indicator how TERRIBLE things are pn PC/EU, this primetime Cyro queue is it. People are just fleeing the PVP server, it is completey defunct. Lag is insane, skills dont respond, sneak is bugged, invisibility is bugged, cc-break and cc-immunity are a joke, combat bug is more infective than the new corona virus.

After the PVP event, ZOS obviously has made another severe downgrade to the PC/EU-server, never before have I seen such an incredibly bad performance.

The important thing here is to stress that when we talk about the PC EU server being broken, we're talking principally - if not wholly - about Cyrodiil.

I fully sympathise with PvPers, but it is wrong to imply as many posts do that the entire ESO game is broken on PC EU, it is not. This is very much a continuation - and worsening - of the PvP experience. I don't just say that because I log into overland PvE gameplay and have no problems, but because I see the usual large amount of other players who are clearly not having any problems either, whether it's overland generally, in delves, or at dolmens. I can't speak for dungeons and trials, perhaps they too are experiencing continuing problems, nor can I speak for Steam users. However, the PC EU server is not broken, certain aspects of it are.

I disagree. I’m specifically not talking about Cyrodiil or PvP. Not because they are not broken, but because generally I’m not playing them.

I’m talking about server meltdown during the Undaunted Event 2019, server meltdown after the changes to guild functionality, server lag in general, mass 304 and 307 errors, and just crap server performance overall on PC EU over the last 18 months. I’m not saying it’s always crap, but the crap periods appear to occur when there are high numbers of players and only on PC EU, not PC NA. So the suspicion is that ZOS don’t care about PC EU because neither they, nor their friends play on it.

Are you sure you have a valid internet connection?

Don’t forget the three times that EU’s trader flip has failed since Elsweyr while NA has been fine. If that’s not a symptom of server issues rather than Cyrodiil-specific ones, I’m not sure what is.

The problem is that Update 25 doesn’t promise a whole lot in terms of server stability. It doesn’t promise to reduce lag or to solve the issue where we can get repeatedly booted to login and unable to get back into game, especially in overcrowded areas. U25’s cleanup of assets should mean shorter loading times for some people, and they do mention the potential for fps improvement when it comes to effects and abilities. But that fps improvement comes with a big caveat too: they don’t know how it’s going to perform in highly populated areas, which is where we see it at its worst.

There’s another slew of improvements scheduled for Update 26, some of which are categorized under “server stability & optimization,” but nothing about connection stability. Then there will also be more listed under Updates 27 and 28 — which were promised to be added to the list in “early Q1 2020” but have yet to be seen. So far about the only thing we know should be on the list for 27 and beyond is Cold Storage, which has been delayed twice now.

I’m just not seeing much of a promise about login issues and server-side lag here.

SmukkeHeks

Well, I’m at the point that it’s now. 2019 only feels like it was the worst because that’s fresh in memory. 2018 wasn’t that much better and don’t even get me started on the invention of the Tamriel 1.

Maybe they imagine that they can have a 6 year plan and still have my time, but they’d be wrong..

I'm bringing this back to the top as it the most powerful tool PC EU has ^^

PVP is kaput, ZOS. We are experiencing multiple crashes with or without addons -> It's Ripperino, please address this issue today with a statement.

They addressed it yesterday, hopefully they'll update their thread when they have news to report. They're working on multiple causes of crashes with and without add-ons.

20 minutes gameplay crashed 2 times. GG.

Drakoleon

yeah....Performance improvements ......my ash....its worst than before...i don't a believe a word from ZOS any more!

Isaura

I tried to play today and gave up after a short time mostly spent in loading screens. After killing 15 monsters in Murkmire with no loot -at all-, I finally got one that looted something and I couldn't click on it. It was not even the known "target is out of range" bug, I had no message, no cursor, nothing. I moved around to try and loot from another spot, didn't work. I had the idea of doing a /stuck, came back to the spot after a loading screen, and the ability to loot was back on. And of course my tickets were in there, I could have missed it because of this. But yeah, right after a massive improvement patch, having such long loading screens, and finding in a few minutes time a new bug that almost cost me the 3 event tickets is not good. Oh and also all of my addons were disabled after the patch so if zos could quit blaming those all the time....

Asardes

I haven't had any problems since the update. In fact the game seems much more responsive even in Murkmire. Before the update I had huge ping spikes in some zones at peak hours, 400+ ms latency, even when I was just sitting there and doing nothing at all. They seem to have gone away after this update.

Celephantsylvius_Bornasfinmo

Still no news from Zos, it's thursday (4 days of investigation).

yes I agree ; ppl would be more patient with more clarity ; getting info is the real end game quest in ESO...
