    I'm from Australia, playing on the NA server. The game is pretty much unplayable for me most of the time, everynow and then it will have good spots and I can get some *** done, but more often than not, the lag is unbearable. It was good for the first day or so, but after that it all went to hell.

    When I was playing the beta it happened a little bit, but not this bad, and not this often, and definitely not this consistently.

    Oh, I should say, it is so bad, I get booted frequently, lag frequently, sometimes can't even log into the game, and my wife is experiencing exactly the same thing on her computer.

    I am palying on the EU servers with an updated beta client. In beta everything went fine. In the early access I have a lot of lag. I cannot interact with NPC or gathering notes and when I try to log out it won't log out. I can walk around but cannot attack anything and when I try it can happen I die because I couldn't attack properly.
    I have had several erros, an error starting with 200 when i tried to login when tried to login in again I didn't have problem. Today I had an error starting with 108 this code doesn't even exist on the support website. I also had the unknown error occur several times when lag spiked.

    I have lag during combat mostly, I can kill an enemy and they'll stand there for 3-6 seconds doing nothing, before finally falling over dead.

    I don't know if it's due to the latency or a bug, but on my Templar my Focused Charge ability tends to make me run at varying speed towards my target. From what looks like a normal speed (uncommon) to fairly slow speed (common) all the way down to super slow motion(occasional, but often enough). And charging enemies sometimes suffer from the same thing. One enemy did a charge that probably took more than 5 seconds to run 8 yards.

    I have been running on Ultra/High settings all week with no lag until today after the patch. Now no matter what I set my graphics to I can't even turn in a solo instanced dungeon without massive frame rate drops and disco stuttering.

    Oddly this only seems to occur in Dominion zones, Grahtwood and Auridon but not in Bleackrock or Stonefalls.

    I play on the European server.

    I'm experiencing the same exact thing. I asked people in the zone if they were experiencing it as well, but they said "no, it's on your end." After reading how many other people are experiencing the same exact symptoms, I know it isn't an issue on my end. The lag is really killing the game for me. I really enjoy it when I'm able to play it without everything lagging around, but it's not often. If the issue remains after another couple of weeks I will definitely not be paying for a subscription.

    Sadly same issue, NA server and I live in Canada, have had no issues with lag up till today. Currently I can run around and was able to interact with some NPC's inside Skywatch. Went to the Way shrine and nothing was working. No crouching, no horse, almost any command I entered the lag was close to 50 to 60 seconds before anything would happen. I will try now on a different section of the game and see if that is still occurring.

    Same issue as well, though I did not start to experience it until last night. This is not an issue I experienced in Beta, and it is not an issue on my end as my hardware more than meets the recommended requirements and I have the best connection my ISP offers. Hoping for a quick fix.
  • mitch_1991_05rwb17_ESO

    This has been happening to me all night, and it also keeps dumping me out to log in with the "Unknown error" message..... Frustrating is an understatement.....

    (This is on the NA server, btw)

    I repaired the game, deleted the game and reinstalled, and finally reformatted my PC, all to no avail. The lag issues come and go, but when they hit the game is almost unplayable.

    Also, this is an unrelated side note, but with a GTX 770, after my reformat I install the latest geforce driver (335.23), but had to uninstall it and install an older version because I was getting excessive screen tearing with V sync enabled.

    The tell-tale sign I'm lagging is always seeing players around me just teleporting through the world. Combat becomes an unbearable mess of input lag, with most of my deaths resulting from an inability to quickly chain together attacks. Dialog is delayed, looting is delayed, etc. It's playable, but it isn't enjoyable. Like I said, it's also very erratic.
    I am playing on the US server in Raleigh, NC.

    I am also experiencing the lag outs, I didn't have this problem at all until the last two days, but now it is unplayable. I have Comcast and I live in South Carolina.
  • Daredelvis1
    I get this also. It is intermittent, sometimes I can play without issue, other times lag out, die, booted from server, etc.

    At work on Verizon hotspot, no issue, but at home with TWC High speed cable internet, I get the lag. I switched to hotspot at home and no lag (this test was only like 10 minutes though).

    No response to any of this yet? Also, if we do get a response, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it if it wasn't a quick dismissal because we're the minority. We don't want to hear something like "try resetting your modem."

    Same issue here, game goes fine for 4ish minutes then I'm locked in place for 5-10 seconds (just long enough to die most the time).

    This was an issue in beta so I upgraded my video card (now sli-ing two nice cards actually) and I hoped it was just beta strangeness.

    I can play any other games just fine. (and on high video settings)

    I read somewhere that the launcher running in the background was causing it, but I closed it and it's still happening.

    Please fix soon!

    Still not getting any better! I am wondering if there is a way to get a refund! Now I am getting booted for excessive messaging and I haven't messaged anyone at all! What the heck?
