Buttons not being recognized when pressed?

GawdSB · January 2017

Idk if this is a Xbox One problem or what but I find myself having to to press buttons multiple times because they don't register upon first press. For example if I wanna bar swap, I'd hit the d pad and think I'm on the other weapon and just completely mess my rotation up because it didn't change. I've tried it out of combat and in combat and it's the same with both, you have to keep looking down at your bar just to make sure maybe that time it actually changed.

Happens all the time in VMA, and dungeons and it just irritates me. Does this happen to everyone?

This sort of happens with inferno staffs on PS4 right now. It's like they get stuck and doing a full heavy attack instead of a medium attack.

Yeah, you're basically too fast. Slow down to 1 sec per skillbutton. Bar swapping has a small cool down now as well.
The game tries to queue your skills for 1-2 secs and plays the animations then one after the other, even if you have already stopped doing anything.
It's really awkward and skill/spell dependent though.

Lag and laggy cc's mess up inputs. There's also a delay on inputs and weapon swaps, which is way too large, if you ask me.

Being stuck in heavy attack is an issue since ZOS "fixed" animation cancelling a few patches ago. Happens with Overload, too.

When the game gets laggy (lookin at you, cyrodiil...) the game stops recognizing button input. You can cast your Rapid Strikes all you want but your character will just stand there dumbfounded.

Agreed. Happens to me all the time. I usually play with 200 ms, 'cause I'm from Africa and EU Server is all we ever get. Usually 200 ms is fine and you can still play.

But I was doing the Primate Artorius quest earlier today, I would break free 5 times before it does it, dodge twice and still get hit by AOE, spam Wrecking Blow just to have damage applied 1 second after each hit. Quite often do I have to spam an ability for it to activate and then pray that the server realizes I'm not close to the AOE. Thought it was my keyboard (Razer Blackwidow Chroma) at first but it just happens in ESO.
