Random input delay since DB release

Amiliana · June 2016

I realized now that I should have posted here and not in "general discussion" section.

Either way, here is the link to my original thread. It seems there are many people that are affected.

Really, no answer?

We are many that are affected and it is really worse in areas like Cyrodiil!!

I tried to PvP today, for the first time in over a month, but ended up in 1vs1 battles where I stood no chance, because the keys wouldnt f***ing respond! Seems I'm not allowed to PvP on a fair level until you actually do something about this.

Obviously it does not matter whether you are using wireless keyboard and mouse, or wired, the input delays are just as bad still!!

Do you have ANY clue at all, why the Dark Brotherhood caused this issue? Is there a fix or workaround for it?

It have no affect from disabling/enabling vertical sync.

Hello mate,

Yes I am experiencing the same issues here. Also I keep getting booted from the game and have all sorts of other lag issues. I seem to b e having no other problems with other stuff using my internet connection.

I have the same issue ,accidently posted in the linked topic of the original post.
Input delay is over all areas of the game(PC-EU)
from getting through a conversation,using skills in combat,collecting materials,selling items,deconstructing,..
Pushing the buttons often does nothing

had 3 disconnects in less than 10 mins too without error or warning

I always have FPS and Ping showing and I see no connection at all between high ping and the input delay. In fact, I rarely have high ping at all. The times it happens are in occasional dungeon and occasionally during PvP.

The input delay is definitely between the input devices and the game as programs I have running at the same time, or starting at the same time, works perfectly. Also I have played in other online games and they have no problems at all.

It is ONLY input devices communicating with ESO that is the problem, and that ever since Dark Brotherhood release.

I am trying to get a decent reply through Customer Support, but it took two replies, so far, until they even took me seriously, really listened to what I was saying. I have now been escalated so hopefully next one will be more sincere.

There are many people suffering from this that does not bother to report it as a bug, post here, or search help through Customer Services.

Another thing I have noticed is that when I start the ESO64.exe client, it uses about 2.4 GB of RAM, but after only about an hour it is up to over 3 GBs of RAM. I have 16 GB RAM so I don't notice anything of it, I just find it a bit strange that it increases so much during a short period of time.

Since the maintenance on 12th of July, I am not having as much problems with the input delay anymore.

After about 2-3 hours of playing, the game have gone from using about 2.6 GB of Ram to about 2.9-3 GB of ram and thats usually when I am starting to experience the input delays again.

If I restart the client, it's usually fine for another 2-3 hours.

However, there are certain places where I suffer more heavily from it and it is Cyrodiil, Imperial City Sewers, Maw of Lorkhaj and Hel Ra. In these almost every member are suffering drops in fps as well.

Ok I am having this problem, when it occurs my FPS is around 50-60 and my ping is usually in the 90's but I will press the w key to move forward and nothing happens sometimes I have to click it 5 or 6 times to get it to respond, does anyone have any idea and how to fix this, ESO is the only place that I am seeing this problem.
