[Xbox One] NA Megaserver is extremely laggy.

Uriel_Nocturne · June 2015

I was assuming that the game was crashing to the dashboard due to lag, which I just figured that it was due to so many people logging in on launch day.

I haven't had the 318 error, but I can't seem to stay in the game for more than10-20 minutes before it lags out until the game crashes. Just before I lose connection to the game, I lose the ability to interact with the environment (crates, doors, and NPC's cannot be interacted with), players bounce around the screen, I get rubber-banded when trying to go somewhere, then the game crashes to desktop, or sends me back to the title screen with the message that I've lost connection to the game client servers or it lost the connection to the game.

I have TWC's 100mb internet service, and while I was connected wirelessly I still had a great connection (according to my router and Xbox LIVE) and a wide open NAT.

I've read many threads similar to mine.

While I'm not naive enough to believe that we'll get a post about the issues and Zen's attempts to fix them every half-hour, hearing something about possible progress would be refreshing and would help to keep up Gamer morale IMO.

Please talk to us Zenimax. Most of us are adults, we understand that some things are difficult to find a satisfactory resolution for. Just keep us informed and I think you'll find the community pretty amenable to that.

They know about most of the issues, we just have to wait for the patch they are releasing soon.

Yeah, when your connection is severed, you'll be able to wander around for a little bit. Nothing will interact with you though, so that's the big indicator that you're no longer connected. Sometimes it can take awhile before you'll drop. I think I spent a solid 10 minutes in game before I realized it once.

I am having the same issue.. Was about to make a post.. I'm glad I'm not the only one..I figured I wasn't but good to be sure

bitterkevin · June 2015

Yeesh. Maybe I will stick to EU then. Played all last night, minimal lag, no disconnects

That's a nice read, and I'm glad that they could admit that those are issues and that they're working on fixes.

But aside from not being able to log in (and you have to keep trying for 30-45 minutes... I know they're working on it, it's still annoying though), they haven't made any mention of the game crashing to the dashboard. And just by cruising the first couple of pages of the Forums, many people are experiencing this and the huge issues it causes.

Knowing that Zenimax is aware and is working on a fix would be enough for me. But if there's no tangible fix on the horizon... well, that worries me.

I wish it were that simple, but I get stuck in hour long queues just trying to switch servers, and I have a level 18 that I don't want to recreate.

Juriyah · June 2015

Last night I made a EU toon and it was great. Today I can't even switch servers and 45 minute queues for 5 minutes of gameplay before crash. This has gone on for hours. This is just criminal.

BambooScramble · June 2015

I had a brilliant idea: I created one character on each server so I can keep playing regardless which server is being problematic. If you love the game, it's worth it.

Uriel_Nocturne · June 2015

I do love the game. Despite the ten minute wait in queue to log in last night, I was able to play mostly unhindered all night.

It was wonderful, and it reminded me why I fell for this game like I did. I only got kicked once (Error 303: Connection to the Server has timed out), and there was lag here and there, but overall I had my first good night in a while in staying connected to this game.

There still needs to be some massive work done on the NA Xbox One and PS4 Megaservers. They're highly unstable, they suffer from game-crippling lag, and they kick people constantly. They definitely need to be shored up as the number of console players will only grow in these next several months.

Whether the population grows or shrinks is highly dependent on how they handle the current issues, I think. They have a week or so to fix things before the reviewers give up and just write off this game as a dud. A botched release is a huge problem, particularly after a delay of one year to "make it right", and it could easily put a stain on their reputation that will never wash away.

PoseidonEvil · June 2015

Since they did maintance the other night I've had little lag. Only problem I have now is long loading times, huge wait time in queue and invisible npc/enemies

Lord_Tonjin · June 2015

Yeah, same with me. Before yesterday I had so many problems.

But last night the server was stable very little lag. Did have one batch of invisible npcs in town. It appears they are doing a great job on stability. Let's hope the upcoming patch fixes the invisible NPC and the que so you can actually see how long you have to wait.

Uriel_Nocturne · June 2015

Agreed. Since the maintenance on the Xbox One NA Megaserver, I've had long load times, been kicked only once, but other than that it has played fine.

I was able to spend 3+ hours roaming around, and had the best time in this game since it launched.
