Anyone else getting high latency during combat?

Serpace

My ping has been completely fine but whenever i enter combat it goes from 100 ish to 500 then after a few seconds 999+ and i crash unless the fight ends before i crash.

Pretty much can't do any boss fights right now because of this. Tried resetting router, forwarding ports and nothing really helps.

Anyone else have this issue and by any chance know of a solution?

In dungeons, yes, particularly with larger trash mobs and glitches/lags just as boss dies. No crash but it only started since last maintenance.

Haven't done any overland so can't comment on that.

My ping reads as fine but I'm having serious framerate drops in combat with more than one or two mobs. I've been trying to grind in Nchuthnkarst and it's unbearable. The game becomes stop-motion. (And no, it's not my rig, it was working fine until the last maintenance.) I also can't even log in right now, the game becomes unresponsive on the loading screen that happens after I choose a character and I have to ctrl-alt-del it.

Are you PC/console and where NA/EU?

Yeah it's quite common now, have around 60-70 between packs but the moment we engage it's 150-250 in general, sometimes it drops, the other days i just wish they fix their game before we left

I got a few prog runs weekly if this issue doesn't go away by tonight it is really going to mess with my schedule. I wonder if ZOS can put my sub on hold since i can't really play with this issue ....

pc EU 86 to 860+ , complected with freezing after every kill/experience gain (but freezing is another discussion)

yesterday captain vrol at vka-hm ... ping is stable before combat, but when combat initiated, 450-500ms + desyncs. people were dying while they aren't in adds aoe cleave. completed however, but suffered due to high rate of desyncs.

I have been having similar issues - they appeared with some patch a year or so ago. I finally found something that solves it for me.

I read somewhere that latency may not be caused by the network, but rather by audio conflicts and there was a recommendation to check what audio drivers were running. I went into device manager and found these:

Intel(R) Display Audio
NVIDIA High Definition Audio
NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)
Sound Blaster Recon3Di

Disabling all but one of these (Sound Blaster) seems to have solved my PING problem (but not my FPS problem sigh).

PS4 NA. Its getting worse and worse, and present in more places now, including overland and dungeons.

I have 200 Mbps internet, and after running a speed test, was averaging 150mbps download.... the problem isn't me.

pc-eu...keep getting high ping spikes and several dc's

Everytime I get anywhere near a DC keep my ping shoots through the roof, Only happens with DC sooooo not like its a random thing

PS4 NA. Micro freezes (game freezes for just a second) and bad latency in overland and delves. Inputs are sometimes delayed and then register all at once. Noticing arrows come from anywhere but my toon's bow, too.
