Lag is so bad right now

Kidz_BeAstx · March 2017

I started lagging really badly about 1 days ago, and it is bad everywhere I go. It occurs while I am soloing normal dungeons to farm gear sets, it occurs when I am dueling people in deserted places, and it also occurs in dead campaigns like Azura's Star for example. It is so bad that I cannot bar swap on time, and because I cannot bar swap I die, there is a massive 2 second delay on everything. I run with slow Internet connection, but I do not lag this badly all the time.

I get into a fight, I need to heal myself but I can't because I press bar swap one time, doesn't work, wait a second and then press it another time, go back and forth from my offensive bar to my defensive bar, and then back. Then I die because of it and I am starting to lose my mind because of it. So my question is, is anyone else having this issue?

I keep getting 999+ ping in game and my connection is plenty for one PC gaming http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/6121694427

I keep getting kicked due to the lag, I cant enjoy the game like this so it looks like I maybe taking a break

Messy1 · March 2017

Yeah, it's been very bad. I still play, but I get ready for the inevitable lag that pops up.

All the time on ps4. Sometimes if I go to ps4 settingd and delete saved game data (not the 84gb one in applications, but the small one ths is 4mb I'll get a little bit better performance for about a half hr.

Nerouyn · March 2017

I've had this occasionally but not chronically lately on PC. A few times I've just given up and quit the game.

I assume it's celebration lag.

xKRAIZEEMANx · March 2017

It comes and goes for me. I have narrowed it down to areas with a lot of people around (cities and such). Tends to happen more frequently on weekends (more people playing)

Usually I just teleport to another zone and it clears up.

Stovahkiin · March 2017

Had some lag spikes tonight, as well as one of my first eso crashes ever, but it certainly wasn't constant or game breaking or anything

baratron · March 2017

This is an example of my ping currently:
Watch the latency in the bottom left-hand corner to see the lag spikes. Also notice the times when I'm hitting buttons without the spells being cast.

I'm in the UK playing on NA, but I usually have a constant ping of between 178 and 213 ms. The lag spikes over the past couple of weeks have been driving me mad, and yesterday and today the game has been actively Not Fun To Play. Which is sad, since I play it to relax.

Getting the value 999+ is for months, and still not fixed. This mostly in PvP Cyrodiil zone, that's the reason I like the sewers or IC, it's quiet and no high latency values.
Support always ranting about Firewall, AntiVirus or Router collisions... but not replying to the fact when I state that other games and activities are working perfectly.

I even don't take it as an advice that you need to turn off your AntiVirus for a better performance, this is pure basic security.

I know for a fact it's not anything at my end, since I can enjoy ESO with no problems at all on the EU server. Constant ping of 70-71 ms, no 999+ lag spikes.

Okay, so I am making things difficult for myself by insisting on playing on NA where my friends (and characters!) are. But clearly there is a problem accessing the NA servers. Traceroute to 195.122.154.1 (EU server) finishes quickly and completely, traceroute to 198.20.198.110 (NA server) stops three hops before the end at AT&T and has close to 100% packet loss.

Nice font colour!

vamp_emily · March 2017

i've lost connection over 10 times in the last two hours. I'm sure its my super nice computer and blazing internet service.

clocksstoppe · March 2017

I got booted to main menu without warning in the middle of my vma run (on boss fight) where i was actually going for a record. That *** tilted me so hard, I probably lost like 3-4min (and i died for free as well).

ynimma · March 2017

I also experience a lot of lag spikes and 7-10 seconds long freezes lately.
My tank survives these with no probs, the more delicate light armored characters run on prayers when these happen.
Switching weapons can also be a challenge...
Hope it'll be ironed out soon!

Dr.NRG · March 2017

The game is slowly but surely falling apart. ZOS needs to slow down and work on the base game instead of releasing new content but we are having this dicussion since years already so probs not gonna happen:(

That usually means it's dropped by a firewall. Try a firewalk instead.

Ep1kMalware · March 2017

I would pay zos 100$ right now on the spot without warning if they wanted to turn this sharpened staff into a bow of any *** trait. (Only vma weapon I can't get). Every time someone complaine about getting a bow every 2 runs I want to kick a puppy, burn a church, eat a rock, and *** an organ. I'd rather jam a toothpick under my big toenail and kick a wall as hard as humanly possible than see another crap 2h, resto, or shieldset.

@zos eat me.

FuriousStar · March 2017

Noticed Imperial city tonight is pretty horrid for lag. About 3-4 second delay with attacks. On ps, so not sure if anyone is having this issue. And it's quiet in here, so no 30 people running around slowing the server.

Top out speed is close to 100 mbps, so I know it's not on my end.. unless snow falling.. no.

Totally off topic, however I do agree.

cyclonus11 · March 2017

I lagged really bad and got kicked to login about an hour ago. Lag was still pretty bad up until I logged out ten minutes ago.

I guess I shoulda said I'm grinding lagstorm arena amd dying nonstop to first add spawn on stage7, rnd4. Yeh I know.. the easy one.

brandonv516 · March 2017

I noticed my toon moving on his own tonight. I thought it was the thumbstick getting caught but it happened on a second console.

I would be in a trader and then I'd just start walking.

Ping test is:

Download
21.24 Mbps
Upload
10.09 Mbps

Cleared cache, rebooted. Still doing it.

Kidz_BeAstx · March 2017

The times that it triggers me the most is when I'm dueling someone and I can't kill them even though I get them down to 5% health, probably could kill them however if my game wouldn't freeze up for 3 seconds. It drives me absolutely mad. I was dueling my friend this earlier today and I got so angry and when I came back he said that it sounded like I was about to cry, and I probably did.

bottleofsyrup · March 2017

I've been getting pretty bad ping spikes starting after midnight CST. I thought it was just my internet until we were doing some dungeons and the other people in the group got the same ping spikes at the same times as me.

Edit: Getting kicked to login screen saying unable to connect due to invalid connection.

FuriousStar · March 2017

The game is broke. Time for a week shutdown to reboot the whole system. Kidding of course.. but it is broken.

Kidz_BeAstx · March 2017

I get the feeling that the reason why there is so much lag is due to the fact that the housing is here. That means that the game has to basically account for millions of instances at once, and I have a feeling that the housing was a mistake. They shouldn't have released it so soon, but soon means that fix the lag first, which will most likely never happen.

I can't see why they don't just have several servers for this ***. Why not a seperate server just for pvp? Integrate some kind of switch. Maybe a seperate server for housing?

I know having to choose cyrodiil or housing editor at login would be inconvenient, but for solid performance is it really so bad?

Panda_iMunch · March 2017

Doing vCoHII and trying to use my heavy attack build while lagging this hard makes it nearly impossible to weave. On top of that, I have at least 100 ping natively with spikes everywhere.

Argawarga · March 2017

I've been consistently lowering my standards since I started playing this game. I've set the bar so low for ESO now that I'd be content to just get through a single play session without any forced log-outs or endless load screens.

Kidz_BeAstx · March 2017

@Ep1kMalware This is what What does, and they are extremely successful with this. Honestly, I felt a lot of lag at the beginning of 1T, but it wasn't like it is now. Almost every MMO breaks up different servers because it is not a good idea to run on the same server at a time. The MMOs that I have played that do this have this same exact issue as well.

It would be the ultimate oppertunity to rebalance pve/pvp.
