Used to be fine mostly (after the issues at release), for some reason now sometimes it starts to freeze and unfreeze over and over.

I check the connection outside the game , everything normal.

No. omg these people.
Server wide problems "it's your PC hurr durr"..
There were people that said this same thing even with the past memory leak problems, Cyrodiil lag, etc.

But.. anyway. There's some lag problems currently, but I suggest to report in game next time and to not start a poll just for complaining lol

Things were fine for me until the server swap. Now I get this odd delay, it isn't terrible, but combat seems a lot more unresponsive since we got our own servers.

I notice it most with a bow, and I've stopped using attack speed traits.

The problem is, that for many players (such as myself), we never experienced a rollback. It was not a server-wide issue. Doesn't mean that it wasn't an issue with the servers themselves, as it could have effected everyone on that specific blade, or everyone in that instance or zone at that time.

But what it does mean, is that there can be a large portion of happy players who are in this game and rarely if ever get bugs, while another section that are bugged constantly. IF it's not consistent, it makes it much harder for ZOS to track and fix.

Since the problem could exist on any of a million steps between the servers themselves (which are quite complex and aren't just one machine, but usually farms of near-identical server blades which handle and shift load amongst them) all the way to your machine (which is one of a possible million combinations of hardware and software, sometimes combinations which have their own issues, and sometimes with hardware/software that is corrupted or malfunctioning, that the owner doesn't even realize).

In the end, bug-tracking and fixing on a PC MMO is a headache just to understand, much less do.

If the whole zone gets freeze or lag at the same time regardless of nation then chances are the problem is at the target... Whether it is network or server should not be our problem.

How come it works so well for me then?

You must not visit many game forums , if you did you would that this is one of the most common things to happen.

Works fine for one/few/many , but doesnt work for others.

In the end this doesnt mean that the problem wasnt on the game side , just that it doesnt affect everyone.

What have game forums to do with the fact that the game runs very well for me? How could I be unaffected by the problems you blame on ESO?

One possibility is that every time I play it's a fresh reboot. No way I will live in windose. So I come from my Slackware Linux OS every time and play ESO on win 7, which I only use for games.

I built this machine and installed all the software, it's my hobby, and it runs very well indeed.

This is why I say it's your PC, router or ISP, cause it most likely is.

Well i did add my example on a EDT , so you might have missed it:

"PS: ESO example , back on launch , we were having rollbacks , people would enter the game again with lost stuff... , some would say this was happening to them in zone chat , while others said the game was going fine."

Unless ofc you have an explanation for multiple people, at the same time even, having this server drop and getting rolled back because of an issue on their end , while others could play normally.

You want to talk about April? There have been many changes since then. I been here since January.

Which is not the point.

The point is , i just gave you an example of an issue that happened to a part of the players , but not all of them , which was on zens end , not the players.

There can be issues that you are not having , that doesnt mean it is on the players end , that simple.

But I have to add, I am just playing in underpopulated VR zones.

Anyone saying yes in the US had extremely low expectations.

Or, perhaps, we just don't have any problems and are not trying to play the game on a TRS 80 connected to the internet with a dixie cup and string.

A small example:

It is common for all kinds of devices to do things they should not. Not meeting standards is almost normal.

The configuration of simple home routers is often very bad, out of the box. The entire internet is just a router scheme in reality and the routers at your ISP and at the next stage, and the next, all the way to ZOS, are pro stuff. Usually Cisco, and it's their routing software that runs the internet. We'll go back to your pitiful excuse for a router, don't get excited, mine is easily as bad, and consider what it might do with a perfectly valid packet stream from ZOS. One that has had a couple of tweaks, all perfectly within standard, but unusual and unknown to your braindead router. It's gonna trip over this stuff. Now recovery IS the internet, so it will try. This will manifest as all manner of strangeness and lag, latency, etc, will become a problem. ZOS will fix this, when they figure it out, by working around the stuff that was a problem.

If I am plugged straight into my ISP, like I nearly always am, I won't see any of this.

Yes, definitely a problem of all our routers if suddendly the game starts to have lag spikes. And everything was fine the day/week before...

No one asked a tutorial about how routers and lag works btw

Generally yes. I only play pve side though to be fair and don't experience any real game stopping issues. I had one area in AD dense fog blacked me out but working with CS, it truly was an update issue on my end, they gave me info right where to go and bam! fixed.

Otherwise, once in a while sprinting into towns I load screen for a couple seconds but I attribute that to the sprinting because normal running it never happens. Too much load too fast for my poor laptop I guess

Occasionally I will have an issue on the NA server but no more than in any other online game I've played.
