    For some players it has become hard to play. It's not about computer specs though, something else.

    yes it is about comp specs. A bad comp will be unplayable during weird bugs and lag spikes while a good comp will playable. No doubt Cyro has problems with lag,freezes, and disconns but these things happen to people with bad comps more often that players with good ones. I didnt experience any problems but some hefty lag spikes. Was never unplayable though.

    Listen man. I know Good computers play better than bad computers.. But the weapon swap delays / ability delays are happening to people with GOOD and BAD computers on multiple levels of graphics and internet connections. Even when the game is fixed, a bad computer will run it.... well bad. But at the moment there is a problem with weapon swap / ability input that is occurring to good and bad computers.

    Last night i decided to play on Haderus on my AD character.. since that campaign is 100% owned by AD .. so.. with a very little amount of other players.. i was doing quests.. and was CONSTANTLY lagged. I have NEVER had this much lag unless it was a very large battle with many different people. I also experienced something i have NEVER had in this game.. Rubber Band Lag.
    Most of you know what this is.. and it is VERY annoying.. It happened so many times that i finally logged out and gave up.. perhaps ill try again in a few days, but for now.. i believe that if the updates are like this from now on.. i will probably be moving on.

    It's happening constantly to me. Constant delay on my weapon swap and abilities. HORRIBLE delay.. Can't play with it.

    I checked my internet speed Download 100mpbs upload 10mpbs.. It's still the same as before.

    I wish there was a way for me to check my PING in game. I honestly feel like I'm on Aussie connection or something.

    Why is this happening to me..?
    You could run game consultant in the launcher when ur having these issues.

    Ever since the hot fix that happened after the 1.4 Update.

    -Delayed Weapon Swap
    -Delayed Abilities

    Crashing has been ok for me, I've had 1 in about 10 hours of play since the patch; but the other issues above have been an issue and annoyance since day one in ESO PvP.

    I just logged in to the PTS and did some PvP against a friend.

    No weapon swap lag. No Delays in input. Just clean smooth PvP.

    I will try to repair my game, maybe that's the reason. If not I will just redownload the game because I'm just desperate at this point.

    Well i run some DayZ mod servers, so ill just play on there in the mean time i guess. I just wish ZOS would test these updates better. Im amazed at how terrible their QC is.

    Can you guys confirm/deny that you still crash when doing the same thing while NOT in a group?

    My game runs fine no matter how much stress it's putting on my computer in sieges or whatever but I'm never in a group of more than 3.

    Computer specs have nothing to do with this. I have over $3000 in my rig including a $700 graphics card that isn't breaking a sweat on this game.

    The issue is server related either hardware or software. Case closed.

    Oddly the game ran perfect for me today so hopefully the issue was fixed internally somehow. While it was happening to me people I was grouped with with lesser machines ran the game smoothly.

    I have no idea how their infrastructure looks like but I'm starting to think accounts are assigned to dedicated hardware in the cluster somehow and some of that hardware was either overburdened or failing. Only thing that makes sense to me.

    I would highly recommend defraging your comp, one of my buds had 450+ fragged files of the 500 or so eso files. This may or may not help the lag issue, but stopped all crashes for a few of my guildies.

    this morning i booted up my puter, a custom built i7 gaming rig with 32GB RAM, logged into cyrodiil, ported to alessia, engaged about a dozen DC with a similar number of AD players, i was NOT in a group - crashed within 2 minutes

    my Cyrodiil crashes don't seem to be related to:

    1) my computer
    2) how long i have been playing that session of ESO
    3) how large my group size is
    4) how many players are on the screen
    5) how long since i last rebooted my computer

    Yeah that. People crash simultaneously, entire raids go offline. It's players living in different locations all over Europe, different rigs, different IP and so on. It's not isolated incidents, sometimes half the campaign crashes, from all 3 factions, followed by a roll-back.

    If anyone thinks that's related to individual addons, drivers or graphic cards, they're foolish.

    I have no doubt that you can improve your individual performance to a smaller degree, from home. But the crashing in large scale PvP cant be helped. I'm in a guild with 160 players and everyone keeps crashing in PvP (always after a new patches). It's beyond ridiculous.

    Yea you would think as one of the only subscription based games out there we would get a bit more feedback and understanding or the things we complain about. Regardless of what game your playing if its even remotely an MMO developers need to understand the golden rule. Regardless of PVE content, which cant be churned out fast enough, pvp is the mainstay of a game. Its what we do inbetween pve content. Most ppl have set raid nights that they do endgame content on. So if you subtract those days and the time it takes us to farm we are still left with a vast amount of time. we fill it with pvp. The lack of attention to pvp details is what is killing this game. The new content release schedule is perfect the way it is. GIVE PVP SOME LOVE.

    Utter bull**** the hardware does not decide if a machine crashes in this case, the code DOES. If there is a bug that requires to draw something that reference a texture that does not exist and the code has no check for this no matter if you have a supercomputer or a zx81 you will crash. Having 16gigs of ram or 6 does not make a machine crash more. This is a bad netcode issue. While fixing bugs ZOS introduced failed assertions or calls to undefined graphic actions who went unchecked and now are making everybody crash...it has nothing to do with having a machine that can draw 50 frames or 30 because this affects BOTH PCs and Macs

The new content release schedule is perfect the way it is. GIVE PVP SOME LOVE.

    Except...some of us couldn't care less about PvE content. I got to VR 14 90% with PvP and crafted / purchased a new set of gear and off I go to kill more people on the Internet.

    The fact that they are 1) making it less about tactics and more about who has more people (FWC's, AE cap, Nerfing zerg counters <streak>) 2) Not fixing the lag and crashes we are seeing- or even commenting that they see it happening 3) Giving up ZERO information as to what is coming to make Cyrodil at all different than it is now - which is basically stale - I mean how many times can we all take and defend and retake the same keeps before it becomes boring 4) Not giving us any sort of open field / no siege areas to fight over for fun and small advantages for our faction.

    All of the above make the game less and less attractive to "Sand Box" PvP oriented people.

    I actually had to listen to some guy give me crap today because he wanted to fight on the Alessia bridge (I don't blame him for wanting open field combat but I am not sure what was really going on) instead of us trying to dethrone AD by taking the keep and having a FWC nearby to support that goal. He wanted a FWC at the bridge / river - and we wanted one by the farm - and we had to argue about who had a right to drop the camp. Seriously....messed up when people with two valid goals for enjoyment come to such loggerheads.

    The game is going pretty badly and losing many people.

    Getting quite a bit of crashing in PVP as well since update 4. My frame rate and overall performance has improved, but the crashing is quite bad. See people in zone chat complaining of crashes as well frequently. No crashing issues for me before update 4.
