ESO on ps5 - lag
Okay, I’m super excited about the next gen graphics upgrade coming to this game BUT dang im on ps5 and I’m STILL lagging. Especially in my homes that I’ve paid good money for. Btw, I have good internet too and other online games play amazing. I just wish they’d fix this somehow...

✭✭✭Is the lag on PS5 the same as PS4 or worse? I hope not worse, just that you were hoping it would be better.
I hope to get my hands on a PS5 when they are on store shelves so I would be greatly disappointed if it were a step back in any way.

✭✭✭You're playing on the same servers...
PS5 players have noted that the black silhouettes that are seen on PS4 are not nearly as bad so I did not assume anything.

✭The lag isn't from your console. It depends on a number of factors. You may have good internet nut the connection between you and the ESO servers may be poor. Also depends on server load as well. Depends on what activity you are doing. If you are doing a group activity, especially pvp where there are lots of calculations then there may be lag. Another thing is the PS4 version doesn't run very well on the PS5 for some reason.0 -

Well that's actually an intentional feature, it was introduced back sometime after release, I swear I read in patch notes they made it longer a couple years ago, had something to do with helping load in times. I can say I don't remember seeing it on PC that much, maybe for about 2 seconds, but SSDs will always be faster loading in graphics, but anyway-not really a server issue.
Until they actually finish rebuilding the next gen version of eso for ps5, get better servers, then performance will always be terrible.0 -

✭It's the same exact version of the same exact game. You're playing a PS4 game on a PS5, not the PS5 version of a game.
Only difference is that the combination of internal SSD and better architecture means the PS5 loads things much faster.
Everything that's server side, like lag or disconnects or inability to interact with things, etc., will be exactly the same.
It might be different when an actual PS5 version is released, but that's not for a while.3 -

The feeling I get is from playing on PS5 is that everything is so snappy and responsive that when you do hit lag from the server side it's even more noticeable. Overall the game does seem to run smoother though. Load times are much quicker, even in Cyro I've only seen the "unusually long loading screen" once that I can remember and I haven't been killed being stuck in load after spawning at a camp since I got the PS5.
Hard crashes still happen fairly often, which is frustrating.3 -

That would be awesome! I rarely seem to exit a forward camp alive anymore.
The PS5 did have some issues early on so I wondered if some of those might be attributed to lag erroneously.
I often see players confuse low frame rate with lag in zone chat.

Yep, and that's what I mean by "more noticeable". Even on PS4 Pro large fights would drop the frame rate AND the server would lag so it's hard to tell what's really going on. But the PS5 GPU easily handles even big fights so everything animates smoothly.katanagirl1 wrote: »itscompton wrote: »katanagirl1 wrote: »Is the lag on PS5 the same as PS4 or worse?

But when the server lags many of my button pushes just stop being recognized. It's not just with abilities either, blocking often doesn't happen when I push the button with plenty of stam: I'll see the visual queue for an Ice Comet, hold block and get smashed still. Or I'll go to dodge roll and I'll hop instead because L2 doesn't register in the combo button push. There is no frame rate drop, everything animates smoothly but the server doesn't accept the input.

I rarely encounter this problem anymore on my PS4, as well, as other high traffic areas.
I replaced the default hd to an ssd and it was definitely an improvement in performance.
I was recommending to my friends and guildies they do the same, if they could afford too.0
