EDIT: At what point do we actually get the bigger and running issue of the game which is lag acknowledged (which has made Cyro unplayable officially and now spreads in BGs and even PVE content)...???

i doubt it is ISP fault when i have steady ping 150 but 999+ near enemy zergs...

Doubt they’ll ever be fixed sadly I hate to say it but I’ve lost all faith in zos

Random load screens, stuuuuuuck in combat, stuck running in place, dc’s over and over. Abilities not firing at ALL. REALLY poor performance all around.

The lag has been the most significant in game issue going on a couple years now, maybe longer. Sometimes it gets a bit better, and sometimes it gets a bit, or in the case of Murkmire, a lot worse.

Addressing the lag issue should be the #1 priority for ZOS until they can get things stabilized. Every patch it's a crap shoot as to whether it hoses us or not lately. ....and we got so many bugs with Murkmire that we can say with confidence that it would have been better to delay the release.

The lag is the #1 issue ZOS needs to be addressing going forward. Everything else should be secondary.

I know there's a lot of factors involved, and some aren't under ZOS's control, but until the last patch my latency hovered pretty reliably in the 100-130 range. Maybe spike to red once every couple hours, a disconnect even rarer than that. Now I legitimately bounce between 350-450 and rarely seen the white numbers (and then only for a few seconds) and spike to 999+ once every few minutes. This isn't in PvP, this is me standing still or gathering nodes in zones with light traffic. I know sometimes weather messes with my lines and stuff but this has been constant now since, like I said, that last patch.

I've noticed the game needs to request the hard drive far more often than it ever has. I mean literally, textures are always unloaded and have to be reloaded even when respawning at a camp at the minimum distance from a keep required to set it. Whenever that happens the ping counter always turns red and/or a loading screen, even in PvE. Don't get me started on some of the PvE dungeons and skill effects that go "missing," guess what also happens to be high at the time randomly?

I've seriously noticed my disk usage is high so often that even an SSD isn't helping it because so many files are being accessed at once. Is it coincidence that the game is also lagging badly in the same patch that I've noticed this issue become worse? Is it coincidence it's only ESO causing this behavior? Is it coincidence that it affects many players I've talked to, and multiple different PCs in my home, regardless of hardware and software loaded on it? Even different Windows versions? (I don't update them all at once)

I don't think so. ZOS should look into this problem because it's likely one of the reasons why people are lagging more in this patch, and may have been part of the lag issue in Summerset (it was there too, but not as pronounced as it is now).
