Over the weekend, how many of you experienced server lag and where?

The freezing could be because of the high amount of CPU usage ESO has. Try opening your taskmanager while the game is running, it will show how severe it is. I have had rare freezes and at those moments the CPU gets very close to a 100% usage. The game undoubtedly needs more optimisation so that people that aren't running really high end CPUs won't have these problems.

Just for clarity I run an Intel i5-4440.

Sorry, no, this was not simple 'lag'.

'Lag' doesn't last for 15 seconds and when the freeze ends you carry on playing exactly at the point you were at when it paused: a 15 second 'lag' ends and you're dead. On all three occasions I had problems I was fighting mobs which if my character had gone on to auto-pilot would have lead to him dying.

Never, ever seen that before the weekend in the 14 months I've been playing this game, nor have I had it at the same time many others did, judging by the posts in this thread and others.

This is on an i7-2700 @ 3.5Ghz, 8Gb RAM and an Nvidia GTX-580 (not a bleeding-edge gfx card but still able to run ESO at Ultra everything more or less) and also on an i7-4770, 8Gb and an Nvidia GTX-780.

I agree completely. My system consists of an I7-3700, 32GB Ram, a 240gb SSD that ESO is on and a GTX 970 Video card. All of the issues people are having are Server related. When all 4 players in a group are getting ticked off because the spell they are trying to cast at the same time is delayed 1-5 seconds, that's a server issue. Hopefully @ZOS_GinaBruno can give is some information on what they are planning on doing to resolve this sooner than later. People WILL end up leaving this game if it isn't resolved soon.

I am having issues with the game taking up large amounts of system resourced when ALT-Tab's out in standard Fullscreen mode. Before 1.6 hit I could ALT-Tab out and continue to use my PC as normal:

Spell lag NOT in Dungeon: Clicked with a 2-5 second cast time for an instant spell.

Seems I've been lagging a lot lately and kicked out of the game several times since the update. I've been watching ping rates on the screen as I've been playing and they're terrible. They weren't anywhere near that bad before. I'm not sure what is causing the issue but I hope it's resolved in the near future. I find the game is still playable but a pain at times. Nothing worse than a lag/time lapse in the middle of fighting only to find yourself frozen on the screen for 15 seconds and then immediately dead.

Full computer crashes at load screens
Horse playing "Red light Green Light"
No alliance or group indicators
Having invisible group members also with no group V indicators (fun times)
999 pings 40% of the time
200-400pings 40% of the time
After closing the character UI game goes to cursor mode causing me to have to hit ".".
Non stop frame lag in pvp/pve
Block not working for shards, wrecking blow, dragon leap, Ambush, and the list goes on.
Bar desyncs

All my voice coms are full of rage from myself and others as someone experiences broken every minute of game play. People are not happy, long time players are at a breaking point of frustration.

THIS! ALL OF THIS! This is EVERYTHING I experience DAILY in cyrodil and pve. @ZOS_GinaBruno seriouysly, can you pass this stuff on >_< I have been bug reporting it and I am now sick of it as there is NO confirmation that these exist from the dev team. This patch was NOT tested at all by you guys and the stuff we reported on pts got ignored.

EDIT: Also, these issues continue even when I disable ALL addons and restart the game just to make sure. So please dont say "check your addons" that cop out is getting old lol I love this game and just want it to be fixed >_<

Played almost all weekend and everything was fine. But since today (1.6.6 patch) the game is unplayable due to combat lag and rubber banding (NPC's in combat and my own character not in combat).

This isn't PvP, this is PvE questing in seemingly empty VR zones.

Game Freezes NOT in Dungeon: Whole screen locked as if paused.

Ive game freezes - the game stops responding and I have to terminate the process manually. Even worse - the bug report window doesnt show up, so its impossible to send the details to ZOS.

All of the *** above.

It was so bad at one point that only every 3rd skill was actually firing or registering.

I'm not in the least bit surprised, though, tbh... given Zenimax's awful track record on bugs/glitches, completely ignoring PTS reports, and the glacial pace at which they manage to fix anything... I expected 1.6's launch to be extremely rocky.

Had four random game freezes so far. Never had the problem before except in Cyrodiill

Robbmrp · March 2015

Hello @ZOS_JessicaFolsom and @ZOS_GinaBruno,

Has anything been worked out on the issues with the game lag yet? It's worse than ever with 1.6 OUTSIDE of Cyrodil. Spells are delayed, game freezes, screen blacks out due to bug reports. Tickets have been submitted for these items. Is this going to be resolved soon?

Thank you for your time

Robbmrp · March 2015

Hello to all ZOS @ZOS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, @ZOS_MattFiror, @ZOS_BillMueller,

Would someone be able to comment on how the existing lag issues that came with 1.6 are being addressed? Every day there is another post on this issue from players experiencing game lag unrelated to their computer systems. We are experiencing all kinds of issues with this. Spell delayed casting times affecting entire group parties at the exact same time. Game lag OUTSIDE of Cyrodil when there hardly EVER was any before. Even little things like trying to escape from the guards people are lagging out to have the game come back and they are dead. This is a HUGE issue and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. The more players that are being added to the game are compounding this issue until it will be so bad that no one logs on because they have ENDLESS load screens.

Thank you all for your time.

Game Freezes NOT in Dungeon: Whole screen locked as if paused.

Just had another one right as the character was zoning into the bank in Vulkhel Guard.

Same as before: the game totally locks up but the soundtrack plays (not sound effects, just music). CTRL-ALT--DEL to bring up Task Manager. Click the game on the Taskbar and I get a black screen with the music still playing.

ESO.EXE using c. 2Gb memory and 1% CPU. The rest of the system is working fine. I can't ALT-F4 or Close Program from the taskbar, I have to kill the process from Task Manager.

Restart, it's all okay.

I see no evidence it's my PC, no error reports anywhere, no other app that was running is at all affected, solely the game and this has only happened since 1.6.5 landed live.

Saturday was awful. The game crashed for me several times and that has never happened to me before. Trying to load into Rawl'Ka was a nightmare. I rarely had any problems at all before the last update.

I picked other, because I couldn't choose. I have all the listed above lag issues and much more.

Game Freezes NOT in Dungeon: Whole screen locked as if paused.

The game froze when I paid for my horse training in the Hallow City, Saturday night around 11:30PM. It happened again, but corrected, around 2:30 AM Sunday. All Friday and the rest of Sunday was fine.

From what I've read on other posts, today's patch may have resolved the port issue into Rawl. I haven't tried it yet as I'm at work so don't quote me on that. We'll see after this next weekend if the patch is really helping.

Game Freezes IN Dungeon: Whole screen locked as if paused.

Game froze in Dungeons twice. Had to do a reset of my 'puter to get it unlocked both times. Also, laggy skills in and out of dungeons. Random instances of the game minimizing to my task bar for no reason.
