New lag spikes since patch.

Willow

Very choppy ruining around to the west of Skywatch but really is everywhere I go. NA megaserver.

Yep, I'm also getting spikes were everything just gets very choppy when I try to move. NA megaserver and seems to be happening everywhere - not limited to any single zone.

NA server. Also getting lag when walking through doorways. Most recently in Bleakrock when running in and out of the spider caves. Been getting the "stuttering" lag (where the game just freezes for a few seconds) more often since the last patch as well.

Also seeing quite a bit of lag in combat, there's often a 2-3 second delay when using skills. It wasn't this bad before the last patch.

Been experiencing severe lag all late afternoon, early evening in Coldharbour & Manor of Revelry zones on NA megaserver.

I am having similar experiences. Perhaps unfathomably worse then what others have stated. I have seen the game completely lock up from thirty seconds to an entire minute. All the animations cease. Not just my avatars, but the enemies, and fellow players. I am not even sure that qualifies as lag. The game just sits there in suspended animation for a time, and it can, and will happen multiple times within a short period of time. A fellow player and I actually fought a world boss, and it took eight minutes.

Other then that I have also noticed missing animations, lockups in dialog, and have had abilities draw from my pool, but never activate. Based purely on my own anecdotal observations. I think the issue lies somewhere in how the game is populating phases. Perhaps dumping too many in one, and not enough into another. I have been kicked a number of times, and when I return to the game. I quite obviously switch phases, and the one I am moved into is virtually vacant of other players.

This may explain the transient nature of the phenomena. As you enter your new phase upon joining. You have few problems, but the game keeps jamming more players into your phase. Until the server can't handle it anymore at which time. Players get booted from the server, or rage quit until it returns to a much more manageable number of players.

Zenimax, you guys messed up big time with this last patch. Not only was barely anything patched, you made the server worse (I'm on NA Megaserver). Not only have I noticed an fps decrease and unstable fps spikes, but just like the OP, every doorway I go through, entrance, cave, every one of them in every area there is a STUTTER, it feels like lag but it actually is a video stutter where it freezes up for a sec. This is really bad and making the game unenjoyable. Please fix this asap.

Yap. It was unplayable for me last night. I'm on and EU server but the lag was only in a very specific location, Treehenge in Malabal Tor. I was getting spikes that just froze the screen for a few seconds when in combat but when I left (through the cave access) it was fine again. I did notice the lag through doorways though. Another patch that broke more then it fixed.

EU server, actually always laggy, but yesterday even more: using bolt escape nothing happens until 2-3 seconds, weapon switch also takes 2 sec, if I try to change more often after 3 seconds it goes crazy and swaps 4-5 times in 1 sec. It was on Veteran areas.

terryammon

EU Server and everywhere, Cyrodiil dont even go there, after the patch, not even worth going pvp.

BaKaNoOB

i had far worse lag , yesterday after patch than before ~0.5 s to skills to activate
server connection as usual - 150-220 ms , Eu megaserver

Jarnhand

Dawnbreaker Europa had weird lagg spikes last night (after menteinance)

Skirmish840

NA Server/Deshan major spikes roughly 3 of them around 8:45pm Aest tonight.

tordr86b16_ESO

I can confirm that the client is constantly stuttering but my fps remains the same, clearly a server side issue... I never had this issue in 1.0.7 other then the unresponsive exe bug.

Hearts

Ever since the patch for fixing mac client optimization, the PC has been getting some fps lag everywhere at random moments.
Its like a stutter, fps lag for 0.5 seconds at a time lasting about 10 seconds then it stops until it well, happens again. Could happen anywhere and anytime.

pxtc_ESO

NA. Lag in Cyrodiil is horrible. It's been that way since beta so the patch did nothing there. If your in a big battle in Cryodiil you just mash the buttons and hope for the best. Complete garbage at this point.

Svann

Yesterday was bad. Id come out of stealth and my attacks did nothing for a few seconds then suddenly they all happened at once. Relogging fixed it though.

theshark666

i had lag and some nasty game error drops last night for first time where it made game unplayable i finally just logged off and watched a movie.

two boots were while in eastmarch NA server plus some lag while showing a friend a spot he needed to go to.
then tried to port out to Alik'r desert and another game drop unknown error and trying to log back in was so long i finally closed game rebooted system and went to an alt in stonefield with a minor log in lag.
attempted to go back to vet4 level character but lag logging in was so horrid with it sitting at loading screen i just closed game and logged off for night.
i've had very little lag only a few minor issues before. never to the point or intensity getting now since this last patch.
have not seen a dramatic drop in fps and my lat to server normally runs 50 - 60 ms was jumping to about 150 to 160ms with one spike of 250ms last night

Willow

Any update on this?

Blackout_STi

I'm lagging everywhere. Please fix this game. Seriously. I just want to play one day without my client crashing (still haven't heard back from anyone regarding my ticket), falling through stairs (yes this is still happening occasionally). I am on the NA server, mainly in the northern part of Grahtwood, and southern part of Greenshade. During combat, lags like crazy. Running more than capable hardware over a more than capable connection.

kirnmalidus

I was getting the same choppy/laggy feeling when I played last night as well. I was in the AD VR6 zone, Glenumbra, so it wasn't exactly crowded where I was.

Evergnar

Glad I'm not the only one but this patch stinks.

Devs, please fix this in the next patch or revert back until you figure it out.

kitsinni

NA server in both Shadowfen and Deshaan in the VR if that matter. Lag spikes when jumping, going through doors, turning in quests, sprinting, looting and often killing the last mob of a pack. The last guy would get killed then just kind of stand there after a few seconds it would fall and I could loot.

ignus31

Lag increased a lot on EU servers too, it was laggy but playable in first month, and when they will move EU servers to EU it would be ok. But it is almost unplayable now. There are 1-2 second lags on every action and most of my deaths are because of server is thinking that I am in red areas even though I am not.

I hope they will fix it soon, because even the best of the best MMO sucks hard if you have lag.

seneferab16_ESO

After I take a wayshrine it sometimes takes up to 20 seconds until I can mount up or activate any abilities. I can still move around just fine and experience no rubberbanding.

Weapon switch is even worse then usual and my abilities are extremely unreliable; I am seing the Fire Ability - See Animation - Spend Magicka - Do Absolutely No Damage bug much, much more often, at least once every two fights. Mostly with Concealed Weapon and Impale as usual, but also seen it with other abilities.

If I die in PvP while trying to stealth I get stuck with the movement debuff until I relog. And no, it is not Walk pressed by accident, if I press Walk during this bug, I'm so slow I barely move at all.

EU server, I play in Veteran Aurion and Cyrodiil and I had these issues since latest patch.

Jolip

I get kicked out when attempting to go through doorways, alot.

Those that transits you to another "area".

AshleyLee

I have noticed this lag as well, it almost got me killed in pvp as it happend in a building in bruma NA server Cyrodiil. right in the door way of the church.

PjBrunelleub17_ESO

NA server, Wabbajack is home campaign, absolutely ridiculous lag/latency. Everything happens at least a second after the keypress, and many times much longer. This is a dealbreaker for me right now.

Tavore1138

My guess, they accidentally moved the NA server to the EU datacentre.

That would be about the level of competence I am coming to expect.

Minsc

EU ''megaserver'' . game is unplayable today ( no severe problems before patch) due to lag at Cyrodiil and AD faction vet 8 area (not very populated)

Malmai

EU server lags pretty much anywhere i go and after that ofc DC.
