Anyone else having serious lag, phasing, and other issues since the 1.4.6 update?

Enkil · October 2014

I was having this issue tonight.. at around 11pm my time (Hawaii time) when there is normally almost no one on. It was in Cyrodiil and there probably were less than 16 people playing for our whole alliance (Blackwater Blade).

My entire raid group got DC'd during a siege today on the EU server. Was early too, way off peak time

I don't understand the how technical support is supposed to work. I put a ticket in for this and received an email that same day, so I thought wow, that's fast.

I was told to run a Game Consultant report and send it back to them, which I did.

But then I get the following email after sending them the report:

Helping you is our passion!

We will assume your issue has been resolved if we do not hear from you within 96 hours (4 days).

If your issue has not been resolved, you can respond directly to this email. We look forward to working with you again should you need us!

I like WTF? I supposed to be waiting them to respond to my Game Consultant Report and offer me solutions?

So I guess, I now have to reply again and let them know my issues aren't resolved. A weird way to do tech support.

that's called box ticking

Definitely have been having more crash issues. Funny thing is my game never crashed before 1.3. Now it's a regular occurrence and since 1.4 it's been crazy.

I gained more stability by turning off all add-ons (updated too)but crashes/freezes/long Effing loading screens are still common.

RSram · October 2014

I just tried to play 10 minutes ago, and after 5 minutes, I crashed to the logon screen and now I can't even log in. I get the infamous 201 error.

Just send them a reply saying:
Issue still exists please forward to a network team member, rather than another customer service rep.

RSram · October 2014

That's what I did after posting the last message, but its still a messed up way of doing business.

ZigoSid · October 2014

Same here, it's quite annoying

Aerrimus · October 2014

Make sure you set the 2 new particle sliders all the way to the left in the settings menu. I still have issues but it made it a little better.

Absolutely my situation when stability went down hill and then just fell into oblivion

I just found what I think is another bug.

I was toting a summoned pet with me in a mine. The quest objective was to rescue several miners. It seems like each time I saved a miner, I when into another quest phase and my pet kept disappearing after saving each miner.

So apparently my summoned pets do not transition to the next phase of the quest with me; since the latest update.

Anyone notice this? Or I'm just the lucky one having this problem?

A lot of the NPC 'cinematics'/phase changes cause this, that mine is one, there was 1 quest where you ran between 3 NPCs and I think my 'summons' got dismissed 9 times in fewer minutes!

I just put it down to if anything was playtested, it was never tested with a summoned creature present.
Zenimax do have a 20 year reputation to uphold of everything to do with TES going out the door to be tested and fixed by it's player base

RSram · October 2014

Zenimax's testing procedures suck big time.

Evergnar · October 2014

Yesterday I knocked on a door in Vulkhelguard and immediately found myself under the city. Must have been a trap door there I missed or something.

Server is lagging right now but it's 2am PST so time to call it a night.

Interesting. That's almost the exact same time of day that Craglorn was lagging so horribly for everyone in zone last Saturday. Coincidence? For me, it was probably a good thing. Forced me to go to bed but there were a number of unhappy campers still in zone when I left.

I would be surprised if server freeze was local to be honest. I would expect PVE areas to come to a halt and behave baldy if cyrodiil crashed. I wouldn't be surpised if all the lagginess and stuttering in PVE is cyrodiil related.

Master_Fluff · October 2014

Aforementioned weirdnesses happens more with the 1.4.6 patch than before. Less in the morning than the late afternoon/early evening, but it does happen every gaming session. at least for me,anyway.

Volkodav · October 2014

I got killed several times due to lag.My Char just stood there while he was killed.Plus freezing when I ride my horse at moments.

RSram · October 2014

I had a perfect game today for 4 hours. I reduced the follow settings to 0:

Maximum Particle System
Particle Suppress Distance

I didn't notice much difference in the visual effects after setting the two settings to zero.

On another note, A friend of mine came back to ESO and started a new character. My character is at VR5, so I decided to help him with the world bosses, public, and solo dungeons at the 10 -15 skill levels. I would stand back and let him do all the work, and heal him when he was in trouble. What we were testing was the grouping and phasing elements. Phasing was a big issue as sometimes he would disappear when traveling other certain areas. So I assume this was because, I already did those quest in those areas, but in other areas were I already did the quests, he didn't phase out he just talked to invisible quest givers. So the story is, you really can't effectively mentor a new player because the phasing gets n the way. It would be nice it I could be assigned to his phase if he were the group leader.

Vizier · October 2014

Yup it's getting as bad as the worst days of the memory leak problem.

MasterSpatula · October 2014

I'm seeing serious latency between my attacks hitting the enemy and the effects of the hit (damage, knockdowns, etc) actually affecting the enemy--but only on my DC character.

Rune_Relic · October 2014

Yeah ...last night the damage delay and combat response filled me with despair.

Stormhaven vr2. I dont mind this when its 1v2 in all the PVE areas but when its 1v3 I have to pull out all the stop with the bow to have any chance of survival. I would rather have challenging and fair than impossible and broken.

Trying to train yourself to handle 3v1 with no passives or actives levelling two handed....is not fun at present.
