Huge lag on EU PC server

Huge lag, trying to do NMOL and everyone is getting huge latency spikes. I see lots of people complaining in guild chats too. What is going on with the server?

Having the same problem.
Ping jumping from 60 to 999 every few seconds.

Oh its just a version of ZOS of introducing open world Pvp. They didnt want to spoil immersion of all the RP's all that player vs player fighting, so they introduced different but also very familiar element of pvp to pve. Enjoy!

Lag is pretty much a feature of this game now

I guess the servers just can't handle the traffic.

It's a side effect of the game's design, just like animation cancelling. It adds to the difficulty. Embrace it.

This was happening really bad last night on PC NA while people were doing VAA. A couple people had issues staying connected to the game and logging back in. The lag was all over the place. Mine was like 84-117-84-122-84-101 and this was while we were not in battle.

We were getting lag from 250(my normal ping) to 999 even up to 12K. Everyone is the trial was getting this to the point we decided to disband and quit the game as it became completely unplayable.

We are having serious lag issues here as well. Things just stop and suddenly fast forward. All of us are lagging (two of us are in Europe and close to the server).

Massive lag on PvP servers especially Trueflame. I had to log off after 10 minutes of not being able to see AoE, skills lagging, doors throwing me back outside. No point playing.

Made my way into Cyrodiil yesterday for the first time in an age. The lag was unreal. Finally got to experience what I've read about many times. Trying to battle anyone at close range was impossible for me as the game would freeze (auto death). Other players were rubber banding. Random loading screens. Loading screens became longer, the longer I played. Even opening inventory was a problem. This was on PC/NA.
The game eventually froze which required me to do a hard reboot.

And there we go again, same lag as Sunday when doing trials or dungeons. It's unplayable. Everyone in raids and guilds are complaining. There is something up with your server ZOS.

I just closed down the game after attempting to play some pvp. But the lag is some of the worst i've experienced completely unplayable and more like a slideshow of pictures than a game. Done for the day.

It seems that pvp is now making pve lag as well. Whenever pvp is very busy it is affecting the pve servers as well, At least that is what it seems like.

I am on the EU PC server playing PvE and i have no lag.. Odd.

You'll be questing in an empty zone then.

There also seems to be a tie between bad Lag and bad FPS. I would also no be surprised if there is a link between one person having bad Lag/FPS and it spreading to the other people in the party. Consider this:

1. Player A hit 5 FPS
2. Player A then hits 999+ ping
3. Player B, D, E, and H hit 999+ ping because they are standing in Player A's AOE circle.

Mark my words, there is a tie between FPS, Lag and the people in the Party/Zone/Combat area.

If this is the case, ZOS needs to build in a function that will automatically drop the graphics settings to maintain a relevant FPS of 40+ on the fly.

I got lag spikes in the previous days on PC-EU too. It would spike to 999+ for a few moments and sometimes I couldn't even use any abilities or weapons.
