Lag??

Hi all,
Does anyone else find every now and again when they log in to play that sometimes the lag is so horrific it just makes playing impossible?
Thankfully it doesn't happen too often!
Thought the problem was initially at my end but having checked the speed when lagging out in ESO there is no issue.

I was just interested if I'm the only one experiencing this?
It often lasts a whole play session (2-3 hours) at a time!!

    If exiting the game/relogging fixes the issue, then it's something on your end.

    Try to remember that your connection to ESO is distinct from your connection to other websites. I may be able to load up all my webpages just fine, but if my network isn't communicating well with ZO's server, then I'll see lag in the game.

    Ok, so now some more details will be needed (and you really should open a support ticket with these details):

    - What kind of lag are you experiencing? Input lag? Graphical lag? Timeout?
    - When are you experiencing it?
    - Where are you in-game when it's being experienced?
    - Are you taking any specific action before you see the lag?
    - Is there anything that appears to make it better?
    - Have you tested your connection? What were the results?

    Simply saying "I have lag," doesn't give anyone enough information to know what the potential problem is.

    Well, if you are in the states, know that I am currently in Macedonia. Yeah. Look it up. Way over there. I play on the US server.

    I don't get lag like you do.

    Heck, I usually don't get any lag. I can't actually think of the last time I said "Wow, I've got some lag".

    So, it's probably on your end.

    Blame the American cable companies.
