PC NA server unstable past hour

Zama666

Just my experience yesterday evening and this morning.

I was just doing some dailies and undaunted dungeons - no issues....

Sevalaricgirl

I had issues with missing quest updates this morning. Guess I need to go do something else for awhile. Guess it's PCNA's turn.

Folks

For what it is worth

PC-NA-BC

Ran daily writs 4 toons, no screen delays or bank delays

Ran finder as tank specific dungeon - instant pickup

In dungeon, no stutter or lags on pickups or bar swaps or casting.

No home or wayshrine delays.

Hope this holds

Located in BC Canada.

Still large amount of gross lag spikes. Can solo content like I am having a seizure, but not touching group content cause of the lag

That's a separate issue that has been also happening for about a week and is probably not a ZOS issue. The problem (I've done multiple pathping and tracert) is always somewhere between Seattle and the ZOS connection in Dallas.

Using a VPN lets you route different ways and that problem disappears.

Just did a couple of random dungeons queued as DPS once and healer another time and I got the normal wait times of ~ 4 minutes for DPS and 1 minute for heals.

How was the server performance in dungeon?

Excellent. All back to normal as far as I can tell.

And got TWO dungeon queues on two different characters for random dungeon; including having one logged in a house....both dungeons complete in less than 35 minutes total...both of which were DPS queues.

bouncy bouncy.

Damn it..it is dinner time.

Logged in after work and everything seemed to be normal. Guilds looked normal, could deposit and withdraw from the bank, mail sent properly, no chat lag, didn't notice anything weird about animations or the UI. I didn't run any dungeons, but zone chat seemed to indicate that things there are smooth too. So I'm optimistic that they fixed it, whatever "it" was.

Good to have the game back! Long may it stay stable.

Hi I'm on PC-NA from California with zero add ons on a MacBook Pro.
Since the March 22 1pm - 4pm EDT unscheduled maintenance:

Can't play for more than 5 min before "An Error Occurred"

2 out of 10 times instant load to character select screen. Nice job.
8 out of 10 times trying to log in are unsuccessful with forever spinning wheel

PVE world ping is 125 ms, which is 25 ms worse than normal.
PVP latency is 150 ms - 200 ms, which is better. Siege engines seem to work okay.

So the game has been unplayable all day since 3/22 maintenance.
Yesterday was fine before you did stuff. Good luck on a fix!

Tevalaur

I'm a bit later than usual tonight to start my daily stuff, but not seeing anything outside the ordinary so far. *fingers crossed it is actually fixed finally*

RedTalon

Finally got to do the two new dungeons so happy things went well finally, dont rush with the new dlcs will miss a lot of fun was worth the wait.

Glad things where normal tonight lets hope tomorrow goes well also

I also wanted to add to this thread to say thank you to the ZOS team for getting this sorted out.

My latency is really good again - much appreciated.

@ZOS_GinaBruno please pass along my thanks

Latency had some some issues going into doors. Well my house in particular

Group finder is all better now. Queuing as cp 1800 plus healer is faster the pre update 33

Load screens are cut in half from pre update 33. I used to have 10 secs now it's 5 or 6

Login is scary fast now to character section. I notice no difference from character to first load screen

fps have slightly improved from pre update 33 give or take 3 to 10, but noticable.

Overall: happy but please don't set fires like this anytime soon again

Just the facts, as Joe Friday used to say.

On our newest computer game play is just dandy, like you all are saying.

But, our oldest of 3 ESO machines, which had steady and enjoyable game play at 30 to 80 FPS before U33, now has choppy animation and audio stutter when running or sprinting through towns like Vulkhel Guard, and to a lesser extent outside of towns. Also, loading screens right in the middle of town.

So this family is not joining your huge ZOS celebration party.

2-3 of my trial team members still experience high latency in trials while not having any issues with their internet connection.

Ashryn

I still have long loading screens (PC NA) on my old computer that also ran the game just fine before update. Also am having to log in about 3 times before it 'takes'.

Queued as tank on IC Prison normal. Took maybe 2 mins, but it was not a pledged run so maybe not a lot of people. It happens sometime.

In dungeon no major issues. I would say not even any minor issues, but did notice two things

1) at one point the Flesh Abomination boss turned off me, and swung to the ground behind him. Okay, maybe this was a mech where while taunted does something else (or I lost taunt). Anyway, the visuals looked like his hands were beneath the ground level and "stuck" there. Must have been say 5-10 secs. When he initially turned away, I retaunted (thinking I lost taunt) but no response, so between that and "stuck" hands, maybe there is something.

2) noticed it now twice. I think it was the watcher, Gravelight sentry, where I get knocked back into the "poision". Anyway, I guess stunned, and shook it off, but getting back on the island, it seemed as if I was hovering over the poison and levitating back to the island. Legs did not move.

Item 2 might be some quirk of the dungeon, but item 1 might be a lag. Other than those two did not notice any game lag, casting lag, pickup lag or anything else.

Other than those two - which I would not have made anything of except for the past week of issues - game seems back to normal for me on finder and dungeon performance.

Yes, hope it holds. Guild should be doing trials this weekend so I hope the performance holds.

Just a quick update on my connection issues from Western Canada (Vancouver)

Whatever was wrong in the hop between Seattle and the Dallas ZOS node seems to have gotten fixed as of last night.

Normal connection without VPN now with 70=90 latency.

nibbles2

I found the solution to being disconnected every few minutes that I described a few posts above in #321.

In my case, Starlink was at fault. When I switched to a backup UVerse connection, I remained connected.
Latency is around 115ms in PVE zones.

From Steam pressing "PLAY," some Requesting Character Loads happen instantly, all the way to character selection. It's the fastest it's ever been in 2 years playing.

Sometimes the load hangs. So I reboot and/or restart the game.
Thanks for working on it.

Hmm. This thread seems to be about people who are actually IN THE GAME. My thread about not being able to log in AT ALL got closed and redirected here for some reason. It's been 10 days since I could last get to the character select screen.

I just looked at your closed thread.

I had an issue for a while where I was having extremely long load times to the character select screen but eventually discovered it was only when set to full screen window. When set to true full screen it loaded normally. Working with support we eventually figured out that doing a clean install (one of the options if you don't do "express") of my nVidia drivers fixed it.

Not saying this will work but one more thing to try if you haven't already. Good luck.

Bethgael

No real issues once in-game, including a reasonable load screen in and out of areas past what I'd consider "normal" (Brisbane, Australia), but I did fall afoul of the infinite 1-second queue for a time. I had to shut down the game, log into a PC-EU char and then load back in to NA for it to stop.

FeedbackOnly

The latency is still higher then pre update 33. Sometimes bar swap delays to now in pve. This didn't happen pre update 33

Latency had increased about 30 on average pre update 33.

alsonotan0rc

Just had a "1 second" login queue that didn't end. I gave up. I don't want to log in that badly. Something's still wrong.

Mythgard1967

For the 1 second queue, just cancel and go in again.

Thank you for bumping ancient threads with official responses, so that people see them and think there's been a current response to this issue. /facepalm
