Are you guys still working on fixing this? While in Cyro today for around 2-3 hours I must have stopped every 5-10 seconds the whole time. It must have been close to 100 times, no exaggeration. It's worse when your horse sprints.

    Thought it was just me, guess not. It is very annoying especially with the new zoom graphics when do the fast run.

    Definitely needs a fix asap. Reminds me of the bug in beta where you'd get dismounted every 5 seconds.

    Yups, I'm cursed with the same damn problem. Go, stop, go, stop, go stop..... Also cant dismount your horse like you use to be able to. What they NEED to do is leave the damn horse alone cuz it was not broke in the 1st place!

    If they wanted to do something that is actually good for the horse they could allow it to climb steeper hill sides then your character could on its own. In real life a horse can climb some pretty steep hill sides with a human riding them at a fast pace.

    lol, that bug is not completely gone. It dont happen often but I get dismounted in random areas where I should not have that happen.

    Just keep making new threads and maybe eventually they will acknowledge that this issue exists. I will add it to the sig before much longer.

    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

    It's not ZOS it's sheogorath inside your router.

    Just reboot your router and your horsey will be fine, at least that's what M'aiq told me.
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    I've noticed the "zoom" effect as your horse starts galloping as well - I dunno if it was always there and just more subtle before, or if I was just blind to it, but I feel that now that I notice it, I don't need it and don't want it.

    Unless my horse is moving SOOO fast that I'm bending light, I don't need a "zoom" effect to indicate that I'm going faster than a running human being.

    and if that zoom effect is new AND causing the obnoxious "hitching", I'd be more than happy to see it go away

    Oh wow, well I guess it's not just me, then. I was wondering why my horse would randomly stop mid sprint with no obstacle ahead of it. I figured it was my computer.

    Yes, please fix this!

    You can disable those effects under settings-> camera.

    Yah I bring it up because in one of the 1.6.x pts notes they said they made it better. But it seems so much worse than it has ever been to me.

    Making sure they know it is not fixed.

    Please fix this. This is not "game-breaking" but it's a constant annoyance that is almost overwhelming. It's the equivalent of a gnat buzzing in your face all the time. It may not ruin the food, but it ruins the meal.

    I am about to quit playing until this is resolved. It just keeps pis$ing me off more and more as time goes on. I dont even bother pulling out my mount most times anymore because I know it will just pis$ me off.

    And zos wants me to spend money on mounts?

    Ya same here put in a bug report in on it and I am sure many other players have also. I see ZOS has not bothered to respond to player reports in this thread so question is will ZOS even investigate or fix the problem?. As usual new update a whole series of new bugs to contend with.

    They said the day of patch 1.6 (or was it the day after) that this was being looked at as a priority. Haven't addressed it since.

    It worries me that we have not heard anything and they might actually consider it to be something working within acceptable parameters or not important enough to fix.

    While it is not the most important bug in the game, it is (for me) a frequently occurring and noticeable one.

    1. Horse stopping to admire blades of grass. (the bug in this thread, which can get annoying when riding past mobs that see me)
    2. Horse zoom bug. (Have stopped leaping off cliffs by making sure I mount facing away from the cliff)

    These are more annoyances than critical bugs, some of which can happen at inconvenient times, that I suspect would be considered to low in priority for a timely fix.

    As an (unacceptable) workaround to this issue, I have noticed that wiggling your mouse left-right when your horse stops helps get the mount back up to speed faster than usual.

    Maybe they're sending the message that we should stop and smell the roses from time to time.
