PC Players: do you DC in Cyrodiil in large fights?

PS4 pvp player here. Thinking of dropping my 3 fully leveled characters to move to PC.
The only reason I'd make the switch is if cyrodiil gameplay is any smoother on pc. I see streamers in these huge battles in cyrodiil with beautiful fps, smoother than when I'm walking alone in greenshade harvesting mats at 3am.
On console, if there's a large battle with more than 40 people the fps are terrible, and it's pretty much unplayable. The only thing you can do is spam a ranged attack or heals and hope for the best. Half the time you walk up to a battle you disconnect. I know it's not just me, after logging back in half of my group usually disconnected as well.
So PC players, how is your cyrodiil performance in big fights? Does the quality of your gaming rig matter? Does a cheap computer disconnect while a high end gaming pc run smooth while streaming netflix in another tab?
I love the game, and want to experience it in the best way possible so your input is greatly appreciated!

✭✭Its happened a couple of times..
On my 10 yr desktop.. I'll buy a new computer this month.. when i get to it.
The fights are a mess though.... like a strobe light.... freeze jump forward freeze jump forward freeze die.
I have 300 ping though so I have no idea.0 -
doslekis✭✭✭Never have, frames take a hit which I understand is normal.
Good to hear you don't DC, if expect frames to drop, but do they drop to the point where bar swapping, blocking, etc becomes so delayed it's not even worth using?come to ep on pc/na its more organized (arguably) than the mindless dc and ad zergs
Lol, home alliance bias is a cross platform problem I see.

Typically when my frames drop, things are still snappy and playable enough for me. Bar swapping and casting of skills does not suffer that bad of a decrease in performance, only slight. Definitely have killed more than a few people who seemed to be fumbling due to the lag, while I could still move around and cast normally. Mainly, the game just becomes harder on the eyes.
Trials have been a lot worse for me, historically.1 -
Sigma957✭✭✭✭✭On pc na here and play in vivec, sometimes I do get a dc but I'd say about 95% of the time I am fine, but I do see a fps drop.0 -
pandoraderomanus✭✭✭I almost always have disconnects in large fights (PC/EU/vivec/prime time). But I live in the forest and bears eat cables it seems, so it's not an issue for everyone, depends on your connection quality.PC-EU since 2014

✭✭✭I play on both and I don’t crash on my old pc ever. I get a little lag in big fights but never crashes. On xb I crash all the time in large fights and it’s really annoying.
Sometimes I’m in the middle of keeps and I can feel the lag and as soon as I reach the keep it’s right to the xb dashboard.1 -

✭✭suprisingly no
The recent pvp on PCNA vivec is been great for me, no dc no load screen no sound bug, only get a bit laggy in zerg fights, but just a bit.
Using a gaming laptop but not something like alienware, wifi is decent but still but not top class, so I'd say most players are experiencing the improvement1 -

✭I d/c just logging into Vulkhel Guard. Back before August of this year, this game ran like a top for me, always. Then around the time the pvp event started, my ping went to hell. Constant 999 ping spikes, constant disconnects. I quit playing because of it, came back a week ago, same thing still going on. Constant massive ping spikes, time outs and disconnects. No other game gives me these issues.0 -

Maybe if you are getting ripped off from from Best Buy or Alienware. $1,000 will get you a very good computer otherwise. Top of the line? No. Able to run pretty much all current games on high with no issues? Yes.
OP - I rarely notice any kind of slow down or lag. I don't think I have ever DC'd.Edited by SolidusPrime on December 7, 2017 3:25PM0 -
doslekis✭✭✭Thanks for the input everyone. I think I'm going to do a bit of research and go pick up a gaming rig. Ill pass the ps4 down to my little brother so he can experience skyrim like I did when I was his age.
Maybe I'll see y'all on PC NA in the futureI don't normally use daggers, but when I do, I choose dos Lekis.1 -

I run a ok pc.
1070 card
I7 6700K
16 g ram
Games on a solid state drive, the permorance in Cyrodiil frame wise is reliable. Latency wise it’s ok unless your in vivec but league ahead of console performance I have seen. Also have ex console players in my guild that say pc performance is light years beyond console. But if your pc is a potato may not be for you.1 -

Jawasa✭✭✭At Times on PC EU vivec there are huge crashes. Last time for me was maybe a month ago. We lost 10 out of 16 in our group and the guildies that most people at the keep seemed to have crashed. But normaly no and for large group lagg is ok. But i would Never play small scale during prime time vivec because of laggs and skills not going of or not hitting.0
