Does everyone crash....after ability lag gets worse ?
I notice mine lags.....stays same foe a while....and then deteriorates until everything starts locking up. Mine hangs for upto a minute (skills/world but not movement).....but I "don't" crash to desktop. It will recover after that.
Perhaps at the stage where I hang...everyone else crashes ?

Just a small observation.

The crashing has significantly dropped. But I noticed that whenever I do crash, I'm usually doing the animation to cast harness magicka.

I have noticed that as well.

Yes the crashes are becoming pathetic. Just think how many hard fought battles have been ruined by the "mega" server crashes in Cyrodiil the past week. How many players crash in the midst of a major siege and end up back in the pathetic queue. How many lose AP as a hard fought siege completely crashes. We are ALL dealing with it across the board, no matter the Alliance. As paying customers we deserve MUCH better.

Wonder if today's maintenance will improve things whatsoever. My crystal ball and magic 8-Ball tell me it is unlikely.

They'll be improved for a few hours (it had gotten so bad, we were seeing rubber banding at 3am central on Sunday morning), but as soon as prime time rolls around and the zergs get rolling, the performance will be in the dumpster again.

The lag is negatively impacting the map at this point. Scrolls are teleporting. Sieges are instantly failing (defenders typically get back first, as the keep is no longer flagged and transit is usually up -- just port to the keep that was under attack, repair everything, mop up any attackers as they appear outside the wall one by one). Players are getting ganked (and getting free AP off the poor dunces logging back in). In short, the present course cannot continue on Thornblade.

The population for PVP has shrunk to the point there are no longer two active servers. Either Upper Craglorn has taken that many out of PVP or the subs/active PVP population has contracted to the point that the devs desperately need to fix the server performance.

Also noticeable after a server crash :

- the cummulative defensive / offensive tick also gets reset after a crash.
- the scrolls get randomly reset back to their respective temple.
- players get randomly teleported out of Cyrodiil.
- players get randomly teleported back to Cyrodiil spawn location.

Yep, that's true. I quite often crash while casting Harness Magicka.

I also notice that sometimes one of my bars bugs and I no longer see casting animations from skills on that bar. If I switch weapons I do see animation from that bar.

After this bug has appeared I will usually crash within the next few minutes. While on the bugged bar I cannot use any doors or interactable objects, I have to weapon switch and try again.

Anyone experienced any of this?

This bug can be fixed by rolling.

Crashed twice last night in about an hour (Thornblade NA). Server was not pop locked when I got on. 1st time I was dead, looking at map waiting for fc to be put up. Got an eso error report. 2nd time was in heavy traffic near keep breech right after laying down standard. Ctd and no eso error report.

Yeah I have noticed that tweaking the graphics doesn't seem to help much.

Fixed it!! I was ready to call it a day with ESO as it was sooo frustrating being kicked off every 5/10 mins. Then customer support suggested I open 3 ports
( I was going to say portals then ) in my hub/router. Just went into advanced settings and checked the 3 TCP/UDP boxes. HUGE download boost and the game is now rock steady. ( just played for 12 hours non stop with no issues )
I could copy the advice here if anyone needs it.

This is the post from CS.

After taking a look at your game consultant file, I have found a few things that we can do that should improve your connection! The first thing that I would recommend doing would to be to add a exception to your antivirus program. We have found that a lot of different antivirus programs will interfere with ESO and will make a similar issue to the one that you are seeing.

The next thing that I would recommend to you, would be to configure your router and open the following outbound ports:

TCP / UDP Ports 24100 through 24131
TCP / UDP Ports 24300 through 24331
TCP / UDP Ports 24500 through 24507
Please contact your Internet provider to arrange this.
The loading issues might also because because of the router you are using.This is most likely due to a few router settings that your Internet Service Provider has set up. Due to the nature of some of these settings, you may wish to get in touch with your ISP and have them walk you through these steps. However, provided below are the basic steps to take to alleviate these symptoms. Please note that the exact verbiage can change from one router to the next, so keep an eye out for similar looking words and phrases.
You'll want to access your router gateway by opening up a web browser. There are two default gateways that computers commonly use: 192.168.1.1 and 10.0.0.1. You'll want to type one of these in to the web browser address bar until you get a prompt for a username and password. Provided below are for examples of common credentials. You can access your router's manual online to discover the basic password or if you've set your own, enter them now.
Username / Password
admin / password
admin / 1234
admin / [blank]
[blank] / password
If none of these work, contact your ISP or router manufacturer for assistance with accessing the gateway.
If any of these have worked, please look for a section entitled "Port Forwarding". Here you'll want to setup the ports for our game. On the Port Forwarding screen, there should be a "Add Port Forwarding" or "Add Service" or similar button. Press it and enter the port details. Provided below are the two sets you'll want to create.
Set One:
Name: ESO Game
Start Port: 24100
End Port: 24131
Protocol: TCP/UDP or "Both"
Server IP: (enter your computer's IP address)
Enable Port Forwarding
Set Two:
Name: ESO Lobby
Start Port: 24300
End Port: 24331
Protocol: TCP/UDP or "Both"
Server IP: (enter your computer's IP address)
Enable Port Forwarding
Set Three:
Name: ESO Lobby2
Start Port: 24500
End Port: 24507
Protocol: TCP/UDP or "Both"
Server IP: (enter your computer's IP address)
Enable Port Forwarding


I had to ring Virgin Media as their router gateway had a different address, but it was all old hat to them, they knew exactly what I was getting at and had me walked through in 5 minutes flat. This has made such a difference. And no lag.
Yeehaa!!

The latest patch didn't help. Still crashing as if nothing happened.

Did you guys (post patch) still get crashes when casting Annulment? Just wondering if they at least fixed that.

Wow, @LynthePin it seems u fixed my game!

After doing those changes ALL issues I had disappeared... and I had lots of issues, "cant swap wpn now" and all the good stuff like freezing every second fight.

Now my game runs as smooth as never... like a whole new experience, lol.

Edit: Well at least almost 2 hours without crash, which is like 4 times better than before even after hotfix. And I have no lags & freezes anymore, so thanks a lot.

Simply took them 6month to fix a Postern door with dozen of patches.


ZOS prolly needs dozen more to fix this one
