Holy Cow Batman, Severe Lag & Game Locking Up!

Blade_07 · March 2015

Experiencing severe lag through out the whole server on and off all the time. Game locks up and I get random disconnects that kicks me to password screen.
And I now see monster death lag as well. Watch video to see what I mean. Sheezzz...cant they just make 1 update that dont add new bugs?????

I'm getting the same thing, except I'm thinking it has to do with my crappy internet. (I'm on the NA server.)

Most likely it's not your internet connection.

DreamerHorse · March 2015

May be, might not be. Only thing I know is that I'm having trouble getting into the game. And when I get in there is lots of lag and I get sent back to the login screen not 10 minutes later.

Having the same problem as OP...
Just did a repair and a PC restart.
Now to see if it is playable again.

Crossing fingers

DreamerHorse · March 2015

I'm afraid to hit the repair button because I don't want to download a huge amount of files.

WldKarde · March 2015

No luck after repair and restart.
Still LAG CITY :'(

DreamerHorse · March 2015

I'm trying again after pulling out the device that allows the computer to connect to the internet and putting it back in, then restarting the game. This helps sometimes for me on some things.

EDIT: and error <<1>>. -_-

WldKarde · March 2015

I guess I need to learn some patients.
Back to running fine for me.

GL @DreamerHorse hope you get yours fixed soon!

Thanks, I'm back in game now, though for how long I don't know.

EDIT: looks like I'm about to go back to the login screen. Darn it.

The severe delays, world freezes, and getting kicked have been happening a lot since Update 6 came out. You try something (reset internet, disable add-ons, repair the game) and it seems to work, then when the problems come back you try it again and it doesn't help. The consistent theme sounds like problems with latency/connectivity, wherein it is hard at times to get/stay in the game and when you are inbthe game you may be playing fine for a long while and then suddenly find that the client and server sides of the connection are out of sink (lagging, mobs freezing, unable to use abilities or to interact, getting kicked back to the initial account log-in screen).

It's kind of like a rolling blackout. Some notice nothing most of the time, some are hit by a brown out now and again, and some lose power. The more people are connecting to the server, and especially when a particular zone is crowded/you are in a crowded area, the more like you are to see the effects. I've had less of this the past couple of days after leaving vet AD zones and moving on to vet EP zones with my Sorc, and when playing in group dungeons in the EP areas with my Templar I haven't had any real issues at all.

PvE is probably experiencing some of the same issues as PvP. You should spread out and stop playing around so many other players and your lag issues will be mitigated.

Blade_07 · March 2015

Wasn't this update suppose to clear up the lag?

Zorvan · March 2015

God, the popcorn on the 17th is gonna taste so sweet.

Roechacca · March 2015

PVE was completely unplayable for me last night . I won't even go near Cyrodiil in its current laggy state .

phairdon · March 2015

Yes! last night my character froze in place for approximately 30 seconds, yet my sorcerer pets were still attacking the target (quit the game & restarted).

Shader_Shibes · March 2015

Had 2 or 3 "you have been kicked for spamming chat" bs today, normally preceeded by about a one minute pause, that, and general laggyness.

Maybe they stress testing the server for more load in anticipation of 2.0?

jcaceresw · March 2015

I get huge lag on Cyrodiil, specially on the map border keeps (and I was all alone). Sometimes I get some lag in PVE areas when questing with my low toons. However, what I most experience is game freeze, so I am forced to close it through windows task manager and log in again (at least twice times per day)

Mr.Hmm · March 2015

Any new update brings bugs together with it, its the circle of games.

Bugs->Update->Bugs, rinse and repeat

Kitty8Khajiit · March 2015

This one experienced very bad lag today when grouped and questing in Glenumbra. The responsiveness of the controls was sluggish and movements stuttered a lot. Khajiit hopes that this upcoming update will help smooth out these rough patches, because it is disconcerting. Latency. Lag. This one thinks daedra are responsible. =^..^=

I would just like to make comment about this thread's title.

The idea behind using the "Holy _____ , Batman!" exclamation is to fill in the blank with a wacky or clever noun to accentuate an intense experience.

Respectfully, the mark has been missed here with the way it's been used in the title. As a lifetime fan of Burt Ward, I am requesting an edit of the thread's title.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

I've been having a lot of issues with mobs not dying when they're supposed to. They'll idle for a few minutes before actually dropping. It's kind of annoying when you're fighting a group and you can't really tell which is still actually trying to kill you and which is just standing waiting for death to finally catch up @__@.

Also been experiencing a lot of crashes and looooong loading screens. How is it that a patch breaks more than it fixes?

Elijah_Crow · March 2015

The servers are under stress every day now. More random loading screens which never load, more crashes than I've seen since launch. The next few days are going to be very sad indeed if they don't add additional hardware. Everyone returning will have a poor experience and leave again. What a wasted opportunity to make a second first impression.

the bugs were one of my biggest fears with this patch. the bigger the patch the more the bugs. consoles are going to have a pretty rough launch.

I love with this patch did gameplay wise but it should have happened a lot sooner for console really should have been pushed back another 6 months because there is no way in hell they will be up to fix all of the small problems that this patch created in time to give consoles a truly positive experience.

We still have 3 months to provide beta testing, console launch is in June.

Sorry I didnt mean to offend a loyal fan with a poor attempt to quot Robbin Hood from Bat Man. I was only putting my own twist on it. What do you suggest I use? Thnx for your help in this matter.

Yeah, I agree. Zenimax's history has shown this to be very true.
