The Horse Riding "pause" observation

Warrhammer · April 2015

I have noticed something about the "pause" when riding your horse in Cyrodiil. It seems to happen mostly (to me anyway) when traversing in hilly areas or even just being close to a rise in the elevation. Now I know speeds when going up hills slows down as you think it would since well you are going up hill.

I'm wondering if some kind of collision thing is going on where the server thinks you are going up a hill, slows you down or pause, realizes then ok your are not quite on a hill and off you go again. Just something I have noticed.

Also happenes on flat ground. At first I also though, maybe an invisible rock or something, but it's just a bug which happenes everywhere.

Also I noticed it happens more when you are sprinting with your horse.

Of course it is! You go faster, travel more and so the bug occurs more frequently.

There is already a thread in here (don't find it at the moment) where someone posted detailed map positions where you can reproduce this bug over and over again. If this doesn't help the devs to find the bug... well, we are f****d.

Truly again for me anyway its the most aggravating bug beyond even lag which I don't suffer as much

Get rid of them. Just like the deer. Only leave the tigers!!! Nerf horses!!

Invisible rabbits.....

The solution is pretty easy... Remove all mounts from Cyrodiil and let's all walk! This way it may also reduce lag as by the time your groups arrives at the scene the fight is already over

sound like the good old DAoC days "all remove your cloaks! they are producing lag"

Ok guys #nomountsincyrodiil see if that fixes the lag, damn equestrian *** laging our servers ! *grabs pitchfork*

I've found it that with Rapid Maneuvers up, it happens about the same amount of times as without it. However, while sprinting, the chance you will stop increases by a very large amount. I think it likely has a couple variables, including: Environment, speed, sprinting, (Possibly) server lag.

akredon_ESO · April 2015

i feel like this is more annoying then The PVP lag... Least i can leave PVP and not deal with lag.... but i cant stop riding fancypants he would just be sad

I don't think it has anything to do with server lag, I play at some odd times when a lot of people are asleepy and there is zero lag to be found, and yet it happens consistently and without fail every single time I ride! Yee Hawwwww!!!

First they came for the deer, I didnt speak up, then they came for the horses, I didnt speak up...Will khajiits be next?

Tintinabula · April 2015

It pauses for so long on rocks and pebbles and blades of grass and when a cool breeze blows its practically negating putting points into speed at this point

One can hope, think their tails are put of the lag issue. :P

Horse pause happens even on flat terrain. May be related to area transitions. Needs fix badly!

akredon_ESO · April 2015

most of the pausing for me happens when ever i am sprinting on the mount. I think i read some ware that @ZOS_GinaBruno was saying they may have found the issue and are working on resolving it. im to lazy to go dig for what she said but im pretty sure i read something >.>

I have made another observation. If you jumps over one of the stop spots your mount instantly teleports down to the ground and gets glued with the usual delay until it can move again.

Looks to me like its a subroutine in the mount system that kicks in and overrides at the wrong moments.
