It’s getting laggy in other zones as well, stormhaven is getting pretty bad in wayrest. I will agree that Cyrodiil has it the worst though. I don’t even PvP anymore because of the lag and load screens. They delay when trying to use skills makes me want to smash my face through my keyboard lol.

no gina for Cyrodiil issue she disappear Oo

If they tell every one they can not fix it.
Everyone will stop playing.

Yes we all wonder why the continued silence on Cyro. You’d think they were almost planning on letting it shut down except that they keep making balances based on pvp. What else could it be? That they have absolutely no way of improving it within their means? As in they either don’t know how or can’t handle it logistically or don’t want to monetarily? It’s really odd. They did one so called server test during free AP week and then nothing since then.

I was in Vivec last night. And it turned out fg GREAT! We just have seen it in a wrong way people! They secretly changed Cryo as a turn based strategy, and it works GREAT that way. As intended, there is nothing to see there.

You high ?

I just wish they would fix their game engine...

The multi-core usage / parallelism is one of the worst of current games. What is even worse is that the game basically freezes for 10-20 secs whenever a core-switch from one ctx to another happens (AMD Ryzen) due to different caches between the ctx'.
Think about beeing in the middle of a boss fight or vMA and the game suddenly deciding to "reboot" by having to reload all stuff into an empty cache on a different core-complex of the CPU. it means 0 FPS during that time so basically you are dead no matter what.

or u play another campain which isnt allways poplocked and also better in therms of balance

e.g. sotha sil

The lag has been so bad lately(PvE and PvP) that sometimes I don't even feel like playing the game anymore. I mean, sure it was laggy before that as well but now it's worse, way worse.

It's definitely not on my end 'cuz I have a high-end PC, everything is up-to-date and working properly, my connection is fine and my other games all work fine, more than fine. It's not the addons either 'cuz I tried disabling them all and the lag was still there.

Anyway, they need to look into this now and not in 2 years but they're probably too busy brainstorming for the next crown crate season or something that involves us giving them money. Btw, correct me if I'm wrong but weren't they supposed to do something about the lag for Clockwork City? Well, they made it worse.

they need to move more calculations back to the client. yes, that opens up vulnerabilities for cheat engines and stuff, therefor in addition they need to improve client-side security and feasability checks on both ends. they could for instance encrypt the whole Client/Server communication as well as the data hold in memory client-side (so cheat tools / debugger cannot read the client memory, e.g. SecureString in .NET there are equivalents in C++). Yes, encryption costs performance too, but #1 not my so much nowadays and #2 divided on client and server side so it isnt bottlenecking so hard on either end...

Its a simple matter of scalability.No matter how big your server farm is, the amount of parallel threads you can run is limited.

Assume you have 128 Cores with hyperthreading, that means 256 Threads in parallel. So basically 128 players versus 128 players could do 1 thing at a time each. Now add in the multitude of calculations that is beeing done per refresh of the game engine: movement, visibility, collision detection, range checks, attacks, skills, gear/CP calculations ... ... ... for every single toon there).
It is a bottleneck, and one that is by design at the moment. There is no way we can ever have 500 vs 500 vs 500 battles with that kind of client-server architecture.

basically I can cryptomine with 5 of my 6 CPU cores while playing ESO cause the client is not utilising my processing power. I have lag regardless.

just think about it. of those 1500 players, everyone has in average maybe 4 cores, soon 6 or 8 will be the norm. In addition, gaming CPUs are usually a lot faster in terms of frequency. That means each core individually is usually stronger than 1 core on the server side. The amount of unutilised processing power is insane. I suppose Zenimax could cut down on their server costs too if they would finally change this.

By the way for security matters, one could also create an additional layer of validation in memory of the byzantine general problem. Basically if one player is all alone and cheats (teleporting or whatever) no one is hurt, the issue arises when other players are negatively impacted by this. But, assume you have a normal small or medium scaled encounter (say 4-20 players are involved). One of them cheats in some way. that means there are 3 to 19 witnesses which could have feasibility checks on their side and automatically tell the server: uh dear server, we believe this player there is behaving irregular and does impossible things: auto-vote -> ban.
Something similar could be used to get rid of the bot trains...

bottom line is, for every problem (especially in the IT) there are a multitude of approaches to deal with it. It is the responsibility of a good developer (better even an experienced software-architect) to evaluate, inspect and adapt in regard to the requirements and needs of the customer.

Get better people if necessary and fix this mess Zeni!

They are ignoring it for almost 3 years now. My only conclusion is they simply don't care or aren't skilled enough to fix it!

They will ignore you if you don't treat them with respect they deserve as human beings doing their difficult job.

Sure they have not listened or they know It cannot be fixed and do not want to tell players that. What I do not understand is game performance in Cyrodiil is bad especially during prime time. With the new DLC next month and the removal of AoE caps, Cyrodiil will be completely unplayable. Were is the reasoning behind that move.
