As stated.

Since patch 1.2.4. I am getting mass lag in PvE. I am getting load screens every few steps I make, mobs phase in only after they kill me and fps does not exist. It started to happen immediately after I downloaded patch 1.2.4.

So is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone has any info on this?

    Not too bad until today. Starting playing an alt and it is terrible max 30fps out in the clear open in a 1-50 zone. More that 1 mob onscreen. Damn near unplayable.

    Good (at least for me :p ) to know that I am not the only one with this problem.

    I was on the last quest line in Alik'r and was continuously dropping dead out of the blue. Few seconds later i hear combat sounds of mobs that were phased out of my view but were able to attack me.

    Another problem is when i can hear the mobs and i am receiving dmg normally but I still cant see or dmg mobs.

    And yet another problem is getting killed during loading screens. And since i get them every 10 steps i make...

    All this caused my very own first TESO rage quit :D

    I just hope it will stop soon, either by magic, maintenance or hotfix, because I want to get back to playing!

    No lag for me in PvE.

    In PvP, yes, lots of lag. PVP starts out fine but at some point (usually when enemies begin to fight) the FPS drops. The FPS continues to be unplayably low even if I transitus shrine to a safe castle (e.g., the ones where we pick up the quests). Logging out/in clears up the lag but it starts up again as soon as I enter combat areas.

    It took you that long? granted that I'm fully aware that I rage from time to time and make myself stop playing until the next day for that same reason, but you must be a really good player, or have awesome patience

    I've experienced 2 drastic fps drops in the last 2 days (down to 5 fps). Both lasted for about a minute and occured when my character was in the middle of nowhere with nobody else around. Never had that happen before. After that I did 4 dolmens while in a group and was fine.

    Other than that I havent had issues.

    PvP is fine for me (since 1.2.4.) but it seems that lag just migrated to PvE (for which I care most) :'(

    Yes, windowed full screen helped a little but I preferred true full screen with vsync and textures on high instead of medium before 1.2.3. Take the new lighting back.

    Doesn't matter for me; any settings are the same (that is, settings i can actually play). As I said, lag started immediately after downloading 1.2.4 patch.
    I was playing, went to sleep, next morning downloaded the patch and bam, lag.
    like this?

    That is normal gameplay :#
    Way way worse than that. At least you can see and hurt the mobs in this video and there are no loading screens here.

    FPS isn't an issue for me, but I did notice that abilities were taking far longer than usual to process (at times). Only slightly aggravating, I suppose.

    Oh, and 30fps is more than the human eye can process, so I wouldn't call a max of 30fps "terrible." Not saying the average/minimum isn't terrible, but as far as maximums go, 30 is pretty much it. After that it's just a number on the screen.
    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    I have one week of game time left and since I am gonna be on field work from the end of this month until the end of October I wont be able to play for some time.

    I just wanted to experience the DC before i have to go and now I am sitting inches away from Bangkorai and cant even get there because of lag. Makes me sad panda.

    I'm having a little more lag in pve since the patch..I mean very little. Where I've noticed it the most though is when trying to use wayshrines. Click to use a wayshrine and it sometimes takes 10 sec or so to bring up the map.

    So I'm not alone in this! l've been lagging real hard since the last patch, PvP and group dungeons have been practically unplayable...and I had to shamequit twice, which was not a nice experience. Actually I thought the problem was with my laptop (specifically, a rather weak Radeon HD 8250), but if the problem indeed lies in the game, I'll wait and hope.

    Gosh, I thought my laptop went to be so bad but it seems I'm not alone. Since the new patch I have so many loading screens in PvE as soon as I run into a not fully loaded texture. Also I ran into invisible creatures - five seconds later I'm dead... It's not like soul gems are so cheap ;)
    If I just stand there and wait 'til game has loaded everything goes fine, but who wants to wait 5 minutes everywhere he/she goes... Also have 7 days left and as it is now...
    I never had any serious issues until now.

    was lagging bad in pve after 1.2.4. disabled all sounds in settings and that fixed it, although it's not the same playing without sound.
    Disabling sound didn't fix the fps drop in cyrodil, but it did fix things in pve for me, invisible mobs, delayed skills etc.

    Yeah, so much for immersion. Tnx, I will try this out but I would very much like some other form of fix.

    Same PvE problems for me. Invisible mobs, world objects not rendering, health bar not accurately displaying my health, spell effects not working at times.

    FPS isnt the problem here... I can be at 40+ and still have invisible mobs.

    Support just seems to think its something wrong with my computer... which I am pretty confident is not the problem considering everything worked perfectly fine before the patch.

    Quite frustrating as the game is unplayable in the current condition and support has no idea how to fix the problem.

    well i expirience heavy lag in pve combat realy often. skills do not fire at activation, blocking does not happen even after doing it for seconds ... the list i getting longer and so does my frustration while dying because the system simply ignores what i wish to do.

    Good, now we just need some official statement regarding this because it is really frustrating.
    I managed to get to Bangkorai; I joined a group on the last quest in Alik'r and just pretend to attack something when I saw they are attacking something XD

    But that is really not the way I want to play eso. I want pre 1.2.4. gameplay back. :s

    Anyway, I am off to play Morrowind for now :p

    I have been having the exact same problem since patch 1.2.4. The invisible mobs and ability delays are the most common. However, I did what Nozfardu did and disabled the sound. I am now back to normal game play, but it is incredibly annoying to play without any sound. It certainly beats dieing from something you can't see though.

    That video was a perfect example of what is going on.

    I have been having a bit of all these problems. Graphics not showing, sound cutting out or just not working, late appearance of mobs, late graphics appearing for skills used........framerates stay the same so I doubt its my computer. I have submitted a ticket and heard zilch (which is no suprise), the forums seems to be the best service support for ESO.

    I have even disabled all of my add-ons and still no change. And it all has happened since the last patch.

    Last steps are a repair file and possibly full re-install. Seems to be the MO for every major patch so far.

    Here's my issue. Started with the lighting patch, and the game is completely unplayable. If not fixed Monday, another UnSub will be happening.
