EU server works the worst at prime time.

US is just fine contrary.

Playing on both EU and US servers from the UK, the only time I've noticed any difference between them recently was last Monday between the two maintenance sessions. That aside, playing overland and delves/dolmens with lots of zoning including to and from various houses, I find both servers' performance rock-solid.

I suspect there's something going on with the network routing, hence some players are affected while most aren't. Those affected need to start a topic with some detailed specs and traceroutes so they can see if there's a common cause. It would also be worth testing add-ons, it's perfectly possible that a particular addon has compatibility issues with whatever was done in this last week's maintenance. Also check your ISP's forums to see if there's any common problem being experienced there. If it was simply the server then every single player would be affected.

After updating all my addons, seems like it helped abit, friend said it helped him too.
@Tandor Thank u.

I noticed that tracerout to EU ESO server (located in UK now) was done from my home (Poland) through 14 chops by USA.
Routing by NETWORK ATLAS.
MTR ping: 100-150ms, and game mostly unplayable in PvP zones.

I asked my ISP to solve the problems. ISP switched/chenged my connection to TELIA NETWORK.
Now routing by 8 chops.
MTR: 25-55ms, and game much more playable most time but at prime time and crowded zone (like 4 full blue groups in one zone) still unplayable.

So, yes. There is something with tracerout, and maybe location of EU ESO server witch is in UK and many people here thought is in Germany.
Maybe they switched server to other place/provider?
ESO is dying so maybe they just bought chipper server.

I wouldnt say its dying, just pvp is

I can confirm the full day maintenance wrecked the game for me, completely unplayable.

Megalong loading screens, log in & log off times, delays on barswaps and basically everaything else. After login within 5-10 minutes my ping will spike spike from normal (60+) to 999+, the game becomes completely unresponsive and I visibly lag for everyone around until everything freezes and get kicked out the game after minutes of being frozen. After relogging the procedure repeats itself, 5-10 min until complete lag shutdown.

Before the last full day maintenance I had none of those problems, I live in Germany and my ping is usually between 53-83. My internet seems to work completely fine in all other applications and/or streams. I tried playing with updated addons, without addons - it doesnt make a difference.

I really hope this gets fixed soon, because at the moment it doesn't make sense for me to log even in, I get frustrated already when waiting for minutes just to log in.

It would be highly appreciated to get a message from ZOS informing what has changed with the update and whether they are aware of the issues it has caused.

try to update addons, it helped slightly.
the performance are still bad, but it helped.

I tried with updated addons & without addons - im still freezing out.

There is a couple of other threads about this issue, one of the most active one here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/456643/massive-deterioration-of-gameplay-quality-on-pc-eu-server-since-maintenance/

Actually I start to think what ZOS did last Monday was not a software update on PC/EU but a hardware downgrade and they needed the added maintenance time for the data transfer (would also explain why they couldnt understand what happened later when the server was not responding at all and why they needed two more shutdowns to reach basic functinality).

No way back from that ofc, so they behave as if there wouldnt be any issues at all and ignore all complaints.

That's my assumption as well, it certainly feels like a downgrade in all areas regarding performance.

Dont worry people, when all those "leet players" that are ragequitting over race changes and that their race is now 0.05% behind, issues wil lresolve itself.

Maybe they finally applied all security patches for Intel CPUs which can downgrade performance of those CPUs by 50%.

i honestly got tired of agreeing on new "eu server is broken folks" posts. just to give it a bit more attention

Trust me, we are all tired.
Sadly the only way to talk to ZOS is with our wallets about this issue, but im afraid the community are not united enough to do such things.

You will recieve no response. There is a suppression order on discussing what has happened since the 28th January.
The PC / EU server was a) downgraded or b) now shares resources+bandwidth with other gameservers.

Things you can do

• Unsubscribe and change games.
• Remember this when thinking of purchasing future Zenimax products.

And this ladies and gentlemen the harsh cold truth.

Here, sometimes dungeons, raids and bgs look like that.



Does that happen on NA server too?

I’m also UK ant the last few evenings I’ve noticed terrible lag spikes and general ping spiking from 250- +999. Ended up having to just log off and mess around on the US server as eu was unplayable

2/6/2019, still lagging to death in pve.
Took us 15 minutes to get into scalecaller dungeon.
