ZoS!- Many people on ps4 server with UNPLAYABLE LAG

HeathenDeacon · September 2015

This has been going on for me since a week before the dlc. So, about 2 weeks now.
Since then I've run into many other people with the same issues Im getting.
I have ZERO issues playing anything else online with my system, and didn't have any major issues with ESO until recently.

Currently though the game is almost 100% unplayable outside of farming or crafting for me.
Anything that involves combat or other players consistently lags at unbelievable levels.
SKills, block, attack, bar swap, mount, stealth---nothing will register, or if it does there is absurd input lag which just piles up until the game can't remember everything i've inputed and it will crash.
There is also the full stop and start/ everything freezes in place lag that has been seen by almost everyone that has been in Cyrodil before when they crash, but now it is in pve as well.

I really want to continue playing your game, but as it stands now I have little choice but to put it down until something is done.
Please help. thanks.

I'm so glad this isn't just me.

Thought I be alone on this. It has been horrific and, for me, has been only since the patch was implemented.

There are many guildies that are getting hit with the same thing and if you want to try and do that Arena quest in IC it has taken some people I know 3 login attempts to get it done, others just end up logging in really late at night.

No doubt that there are some serious "super smart words that explain the net code or whatever issues that I am not smart enough to explain" issues happen on the server side. I was very lucky to recently switch to NBN and living in the CBD lag is very rare for me but there is certainly things that could be done to stabilize this.

The lag issues are actually impacting game play beyond single users, these lag issues are impacting guilds in having effective PvP groups going, when you lose 4-5 people of your 15 man at the start of each battle you pretty much get wiped and that is the roll on effect. Players load back in all over the place or outside the area the group was, the group gets split, people get annoyed and go back to solo grinding plants in Crag.

I think it would net a rewrite of the net code and that will not be happening any time soon.

The same issues are present across all the platforms. I had this same lag prob on and off. You press button. Nothing happens. Count to five, THEN he hits mob/picks flower or whatever. (I usually log out at that point because dungeons and delves become untenable, unless you own shares in soul gem and repair kit supplies).

Also, way back at level 48, (a slightly fraught time for this to occur) I had the toon refusing to use his weapon glitch that a lot of players experienced.
(That one was solved by un-equipping ALL gear and logging out and deleting saved data. Done that a couple of times now.)

Most recently, I had the not able to use the quick wheel glitch and the why have I suddenly gone all squishy glitch.
(That corrected itself after logging out for a few hours, which was just as well as I thought it was me and I'd lost the plot).

It's sure has been an adventure. Had a really amusing mail from the ZoS elves this last time, apologising for weird anomalies and their assurance that they're working on it. They told me it was daedric influence. Had to laugh.

All that being said, I have loved this game and I'll be sorry when I've finished it. It's kept me quiet for weeks.
