Massive Ping spikes, keep getting kicked from game with timeout error

Jadax · February 2018

Was working fine earlier, but for the last 1-2hrs I've had pretty big lag/latency/logging in issues.

Several issues:

- Takes a while to log into the game.
- Takes a while to log into character.
- Ping goes from 300-800/900 odd.
- Keep getting kicked from game with error: "Connection to server timed out".

Attempts to fix on my end:

- Restarted computer.
- Flushed dns.

Same here, and from talking to guildmates the problem is widespread. In other words, you may as well stop trying to fix it on your end - Zeni just has *** servers and worse networking code.

If you continue to get kicked from the game with a timeout error, there are a few more things you can try on your end to improve latency. The help article below has some further troubleshooting you've not listed as trying yet.

What do I do if I get an error stating "Login Error: Login Timeout" when logging into The Elder Scrolls Online?
