Major problems with lag and flat out inability to play the game for about 2 months

In the last two months, I've been able to log in and play normally one time (one time I was able to play with no problems for a couple of hours). My wife shares the same router with me (wired) and she has had no issues. The type of things that are happening are really bad lag - to the point where it will boot me off the game, animations get messed up - and when I use my bow - it's my dagger instead, and when I log in sometimes all my buttons (preset buttons) are erased. Also, today I was unable to log in to the game at all (and wife, she was able to log in... no problem).

So what type of issue does this sound like? Can this be a router issue (wired Ethernet connection, very fast speed) even though my wife is able to log in and play normally? Is this a PC issue? Where there could be something wrong with my PC?

I've had no major issues with ESO, and I've played the game since beta. Only minor glitches have occurred, although those minor glitches still happen because I have been unable to receive any support for them (such as, my items don't stack on my character properly, I have sound glitches in my game occur regularly - but only on certain characters - which happen to characters who are not my mains).

This is my first time posting on here, to receive help - for game glitches. Any advice and help is much appreciated ... Thank you!

    Agreed, log on with her computer and see what happens then go from there. Also assuming you’ve already tried replacing the Ethernet cord. Is your pc in some sort of power saving mode that’s restricting CPU or GPU usage? My brother had that issue and it made the game unplayable. If none of those things work try repairing the game if you haven’t already, disable addons, make sure all drivers and software are up to date and that there aren’t any conflicting drivers. Check that firewalls or internet security software isn’t messing up your connection.

    I appreciate these ideas, I was able to play tonight on my own computer - although I experienced some pretty serious lag in Craglorn. But, it worked and I was able to play. I am going to try to play on my wife's computer here coming up and try that. Then I will try to see if my addon's are causing any issues as well.

    Appreciate the advice, and I will answer back with any updated information.

    I was able to play on Saturday (but had quite a bit of lag). Unable to play on Sunday, massive lag.



    So I disabled all add-on's. This made all my buttons comeback, and I was able to use them. But, I still had lag. So it solved my buttons from being reset. Although, the lag is still there - to the point where it actually booted me off (on Sunday).

    I will try playing on my wife's computer next, and see what happens. Weird stuff.

    Maybe your ethernet card or wifi card about to die?

    Would check some hardware
