larger groups cause DC..... PvP and group PvE unplayable now due to lag (PC/NA)

Cavedog · November 2018

Since Murkmire release, I disconnect during peak times whenever there are more than about 10 people on the screen. This happens in PvP AND PvE.

PvP is unplayable now during peak hours, and PvE is only better if it's solo PvE.

Can we please go back to pre Murkmire release settings?....or what ever it's gonna take to deal with the lag? Please?

....and don't bother telling me it's on my end or somehow it's my connection. It IS NOT my connection. ZOS did this and ZOS needs to fix it ASAP.

I've heard several people complaining about this lately. I haven't spent much time in Vivec since the dlc release.

Undoubtedly most of it is server side. I have found that several addons cause it to intensify. I'm not sure if it's because of the way they interact or what, but so far these are the definite culprits I've found in order from worst to less. Master Merchant, Taos Group Tools, Combat Metrics and several crafting addons seem to cause conflicts with other addons as well which lead to disconnects and other undesirable behavior. May or may not help, but it's worth disabling addons, at least the ones/types I've mentioned and seeing if you gather any improvement. Hope it helps.

If you found any specific issues with Combat Metrics, I'd be happy to investigate them. Since it doesn't communicate with the server and works in it's own enclave (as opposed to integrating into ZOS UI and functions) it shouldn't cause any problems, aside from some general useage of CPU and RAM.
