From Craglorn, Mournhold to well, just about everywhere. On a normal PS4 so no idea if the pro is chugging along nicely. Over 80mbps getting through to the PS4, which is hard wired. Anyone else finding it bad since Morrowind dropped? I

    PS4Pro user here - I've been seeing "lag spikes" where everything's fine for a while, then you suddenly experience 60 seconds of skills not going off etc. This happens even in solo quests, but in guild chat I hear others comment about it at exactly the same time so it would seem to be game-wide when it happens.

    I suspect it's network related (server end, not our end) - whether the server(s) are struggling to handle requests for a moment or if it's a data center issue isn't clear. In general, though, the game is playable for me.

    Yeah, it is coming in spikes, a good few spikes, but the game isn't 'unplayable for me either in that sense. Last night was the worst night thus far, though. Mournhold was just a joke for me and after 10 mins just ft out as I was beginning to get a sore head.

    Looks like the typical post-update glitch and lag-fest. Seems like everytime with the insane lag, broken skills, and clunky animations. Wait until all the casuals leave in a month and we get a couple of band-aid patches... Then it should even back out to a sold B minus.

    If your internet connection is good, try ascending to godhood, and join the PC master race. If you prefer controllers, PC got you covered. You may need to buy another one, but you can play ESO on PC with a controller. The layout of the game will even transform to the console version, when activating the Controller setting.

    But wait, there's more!

    While addons may not work properly when Controller mode is ON, you are able to benefit from them! Get the master merchant addon, and whenever you want to sell stuff, don't mind yourself with bothering your fellow players with Price checks, look it up, yourself!

    So what are you waiting for? Sell the console and buy your new awesome PC!

    I'm on ps4, started playing in cryo last night and every time I approached a Zerg or a big battle everything would freeze except me.

    Took a few screenshots of me standing in the middle of 50 reds XD

    Not even tried there yet, mate. I dread to think what state it's in just now.

    I have a major issue while playing on a Stam DK on the DW bar, there's a big delay on the animation of skills when weaving heavy attacks. The animation doesn't happen for 1-2 seconds, it only happens after a heavy attack and doesn't happen on a light attack , also I have no issues on the bow bar or playing on a Mag DK.

    Is anyone else having issues like this?

    I keep hearing people talk about the lag, but I've yet to experience any on ps4. No bad framerates, no attack delays, nothing. Maybe im just lucky?

    PC trolls I play on both and have experienced lag on both because of the high server loads do to increased traffic because of Morrowind release as would be expected. Nothing game stopping though.

    Oh no. I don't normally go to Cyrodiil. I just meant in the vvardenfell area. Besides, its laggy in Cyrodiil 24-7 with or without new. content. haha

    Definitely *terrible* lag on my PS4. I've experienced weapons disappearing from my hands and being unable to attack until I relog. Jerky movements that make me feel like a nixhound. Last night I finally got a set of Mighty Chudan shoulders in divines and when I put it in my bank it disappeared and only came back after relogging. Had six crashes in three days just using doors and wayshrines. Looking forward to it stabilizing soon.

    And comments about "join the PC master race" are unhelpful. PCMR sounds like some N-a-z-i b.s. to me. And not everyone can afford a gaming rig so, yeah, really unhelpful and unwelcome to see that over and over again in every thread.

    Yep, getting odd lag spikes on PS4 EU here. It might just be coincidental, but it appears to be worse around peak times (early-mid evening) and then get better later on.

    I might just give it a while before playing for any length of time again, hopefully it will either get sorted or player numbers will drop enough for it to stop (if it is that in the first place).

    I had a "hold your breath" load screen in a battleground, and was still alive when it ended. I expect about 2 blue screens a night until things die down or the next patch/fix. I am mainly doing PvP and BGs because quests are stupid crowded still.

    The no CP 7 day camp had no lag probably because it had no bars. Haven't tried the only CP camp.

    I've barely done any PvE after hitting the dummy and switching BSW to Netch. I realized I wanted to play the new stuff and not spend too much time testing during the week when I have less playtime.

    Brutal lag on my end last night on PS4. Gave up because any actions I performed were taking at least 20-30 seconds, it was really disappointing. Strangely enough, I played Tuesday evening after launch and it was fine. I wonder what changed?

    I had issues in Halls of Fabrication (normal) last night. Everything would stop moving, skills would stop working, and then a few seconds later everything would suddenly catch up. Half the time I would come out of it dead. Don't think its my internet - 100 mbps and hardwired PS4.

    I was seeing noticeable drops in frame rate while in Craglorn. It seemed to happen if my camera panned around too fast. Things would get choppy.

    I love those quiet, private moments with the enemy...

    the only thing I've ever seen move (other than me) when that happens are the pet matriarch's wings...

    First time ive ever experienced random lag spikes on ps4 when the area isnt even busy

    Feels like the graphic improvements are taking their toll or something

    Also, ive never seen PVP this bad since release date. Anymore than 20 people on the screen and you can barely move the camera angle :/
