    Hey guys, could you please post here and let us know specifically what zone you're in when you're seeing the lag?

    i was noticing it in VG when interacting with a vendor. then again once i entered the Halls of Torment for my main questline.

    i am wondering just now if maybe an add-on could be to blame? i know i am using a ton to replace missing game features.
    i will try diabling them all and see if the quality improves.
    Great idea. Could you post here and let us know if you see any difference?

    sadly, no change (although my fps went waaay up ;) maybe i will consider scrapping a few of these anyway!)

    care to tell us which ones ? The fps thing is of interest to me. My guess: esohead, as always.

    I was getting lag spikes today before the servers were taken down for the patch in Aldiron, but nowhere else. I've never had them before. After the patch they are worse and in Stormhaven and other DC zones. I don't know that it was entirely down the patch, but it has made it all worse.

    I've also crashed while trying to login.

    Ok, thanks @lichmeister. We've also confirmed on our end that this isn't an issue caused by using add-ons.

    Actually, I've never seen lag like this before. It's unplayable. It freezes for 10 seconds, then there's a 3 second catch up of crazy madness, then it stops again for 10 seconds. Rinse repeat.

    Are you all still seeing lag? Everyone got very quiet all of a sudden. :)

    I've died to the same boss for 5 times now, all because none of my key inputs are responding, and it always end up with me being booted for excessive messaging (like what???)

    Yes.
    And whats the point of being "loud" - not going to make you fix it faster. Or would it ?! Just say the word ! :)

    lol, all of them ;)
    it would be quicker to tell you what addons i am not using!
    i admit my computer is a bit passed its prime (quad core 2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, GeForce GTX260) so its not completely unexpected.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno : i disabled Peerblock and have been lag free for the first two big fights in HoT afterwards.

    It seems particularly bad in Stormhaven, if that helps. Many people chatting in /zone about it. I've shrined to Rivenspire and it seems fairly okay.

    Pfft endless loading screens when logging out/in. Haven't played for a few days and it seems worse than when I stopped!

    @ZOS_GinaBruno‌, no addons, no other things running except TeamSpeak for voice chat.

    People may have gotten quiet because they logged off due to the horrible lag spikes every minute or so. It is consistent lag that spikes for about 5-15 seconds every 30-60 seconds. Pretty bad to be honest. Can't do timed quests, can't beat bosses(due to them continuing to attack even though you can't use skills/block/dodge roll/etc.).

    I am just running through simple quests until the lag is resolved.

    Experiencing lag as well as not being able to loot corpses. I could still open chests and crafting resources.

    ... kicked for spamming just after i died again because I was in combat and my skills became unresponsive. VR repairs are getting expensive when you can't do quests with out dieing to the lag monster many times.

    Long delays with visuals & interactables in Greenshade when I logged in today.
    Went to Cold Harbor and the lag is so bad it's unplayable there.

    For me the lag & disconnects (especially in Cyrodiil) have gotten worse with the last 3 patches. Nothing as bad as what I'm seeing today though.
  • michaelpatrickjonesnub18_ESO
    I like how it plays catch-up. After the fight ends, it's a surprise who won.

    You take on three NPC's.

    Lag, lag, lag.

    Miss a couple blocks and interrupts. Take a potion. Delay on your skills, but you fight back.

    Freezes for a sec. Waiting...

    Fight speeds up, back to real time.

    Dead? I lost that fight? Thought I was doing pretty good.

    Cool. This game is so exciting!

    this Is happening in cyrodiil also auriel's bow. When I was running with the group everyone would stop, then 10 sec later they catch up.

    But 2 moments in particular I experienced rubberband spikes that I haven't encountered here before

    I've seen a few people complaining of this in /zone chat too. @ZOS_GinaBruno. It seems to be related, perhaps.
