Console Status: CRAZY Frame Drops, Lag & Monster Pop In (VIDEO)

HackTheMinotaur · June 2019

This week has been bad, like, really bad. @ZOS_GinaBruno - is the team aware of this?

This is not related to active players in the area as I was pretty much in this dungeon by myself, maybe with one other person, playing early in the morning.

Odd twist ... Cyrodiil ran better last night for me in a monstrous Zerg on Zerg bridge battle than ever before.

But ... upon traveling to Eastmarch to do some random shopping the ... game ... started ... to ... become ... choppy ... AF. So weird.

Edit - clearly this was not a Cyrodiil video upon further review. Anyway, try and turn off the floaty numbers. That seemed to help me a few years ago. Probably won’t help but, hey, never know.

Dalsinthus · June 2019

I'm really glad to see someone finally bringing this up. Since Elsweyr launch, overland content is the worst I have seen in 4 years of playing this game. The lag spikes every time you enter combat are insane. This is in any zone and at any time of day.

I have also been playing some battlegrounds and oddly I do not see the lag issues there. But attack a random skeever in any zone and the frame rate drops, animations are desynced, sounds don't occur for several seconds, and overall performance is just terrible.

Please @ZOS_GinaBruno tell us you are award of the issue and working on it.

I play on Xbox One NA.

xMovingTarget · June 2019

Looks normal to me Kappa

Koolio · June 2019

Did Summerset skill line yesterday.

35 plus load screen in open fields riding from point to point.

Invisible NPCs

Quest markers slow or don’t pop up

To avoid bad performance I went INTO PvP for a change

SpankinDamob · June 2019

I posted about this earlier in the Xbox forum. Overland is horrible to where I play for about 30 minutes till can’t stand it any more.

Having the same experience on Xbox One X. Tried everything I could think of. Cleaned up stuff on the Xbox, checked multiplayer connection and said it was good, have ipv6 connection, open Nat. Even reset my router and Xbox. Hope it clears up soon.

Same thing with battlegrounds. I leveled my Necro from 40-50 in battlegrounds to get caltrops. Zero problem with fps or lag.

UglyTriangle · June 2019

Maybe I'm not going crazy then. It's been a few months since I've logged in and at times my ping isn't great, but I swear it feels more laggy at times than it has in the past. The first time it became readily apparent was when I attempted to talk to an NPC and it wouldn't move onto the next bit of dialogue. I experienced a massive lag spike last night while puttering around in an Elsweyr delve. I've had issues with NPCs not popping up for several seconds.

carlos424 · June 2019

Yes. Worst performance I can remember. Lag spikes that last for about 5 seconds at the start of EVERY fight, and randomly during long fights. Skills taking a second or two to go off after being activated. Some skills not working at all for a few seconds such as jesus beams, and I’m playing on an xbox one x with very high speed internet, so not an issue on my end. Oh... also, the slow motion glitch is back, which can only be fixed by dieing or maybe traveling, glitch that won’t let you resurrect dead players (says “resurrection pending” but no one rezzed them and they cannot get up). Etc etc etc

THEDKEXPERIENCE · June 2019

I’ve found that this lag is zone specific. As long as I’m not in Mournhold Deeshan runs great. Shadowfen is really stable as well. Rivenspire, a few others as well.

Eastmarch, and especially Wrothgar have always been trouble spots for me. Vvardenfell used to be the worst of the worst but it seems cleaned up.

Very odd but I’ve gotten to the point that there are some zones that I just don’t mess with unless I’m required to go there.

The weirdest is Alkir which I’ve never had a problem with despite the 7,417 people all light attack spamming the dolmens.

cheifsoap · June 2019

I was in vHRC last night and the lag was terrible. Missing taunts, spamming the same ability over and over. The performance right now is a joke

SpankinDamob · June 2019

Just logged out now after trying to play for about a hour. Checked my network status before logging in. Ip4 / ip6, Nat type open, latency was at 54, download speed 91.37 mbps, upload speed 15.99 mbps according to Xbox.

Tried a bunch of different zones. Same thing on in each one. Sound for casting spells was off. Constant frame rate drops. Towards the end I’d be doing my spell rotation and the effect would show up about 3 seconds afterwards. Half the time it’d still show me attacking and the mob was dead.

I understand with new content there’s going to be problems. Just wish they’d acknowledge it and say what their doing to fix it.

laksikus · June 2019

its only the fault of the overuse of addons like mm on console thats making the game buggy.
just wait till they shut iff guild history on condole

There are no add ons, including master merchant, on console. It wasn’t like this before Elsweyr. Your comment is off base.

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic. If not, my apologies.

If he was, then my apologies. I’m pretty slow on the sarcasm uptake sometimes.

Overland is terible on XNA.

Bah. The best chance you've got of anyone from Zos acknowledging this thread/problem is if I hurled epithets your way. Expect nothing but static.

AgaTheGreat · June 2019

It's not only overland content that's suffering. Go into vmol and you will see delayed spawn of adds (try to catch that savage in time), delayed spawn of adds on the twins, when you have three spawning at the same time, they basically become visible after a few seconds. Trials in general are laggy, the framerate drops to 5fps.

A few days ago while we were doing vcr+1 siroria boss suddenly reset itself without any reason.

The console performance is awful.

Dr_Ganknstein · June 2019

This is a L2p issue. Slot aoe abilities and mash buttons, problem solved.

/sarcasm

WoppaBoem · June 2019

Is it bad I am just so happy the lag is not in PVP

In cyro running around big fight no issue. Go to do a dungeon to rank undaunted and the lag is the worst I every seen. 1 time in fungal grotto 2 the group dropped all AOE's on a group of add it froze and they after like 3 second the sound came back and the group of add's where all dead lol.

NordSwordnBoard · June 2019

PS4 NA In vcoa2 last night. I know where most of the adds are, but they were invisible in some cases. One tall deadra sat there with his arms crossed while we tooled on him. It was sloppy though, as others said - missing taunts and bar swap not matching weapon in hand.

We managed to finish but it was only fun because of how much we made fun of this game and the bs it threw at us.

I got the Lord Warden motif already, I think I'm done with PvE until it's working right. Good thing I got my necro leveld before this happened.

rotaugen454 · June 2019

I am so glad that I am PC NA. The problems EU and console players have are terrible and you have my sympathy. The only time I get anything like this is when playing on an older laptop over WiFi. It would drive me nuts if I got this on my fast direct cabled desktop. You all have far more patience than I do.

CambionDaemon · June 2019

So they are decreasing lag in PvP by increasing lag in PvE.

PvE nerfed again for PvP!! lol

Kuramas9tails · June 2019

Yeah,

this has happened to me a lot on PS4 and mobs won't show up for a little bit and numbers just pop up. Figured it was my internet connection. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bootstomp · June 2019

I've noticed this in Stormhaven (XBox One NA)

What's odd is that world boss fights seem to be fairly normal. It's trash mobs that are the worse. And once things start lagging, it isn't just combat, but corpse and container looting as well.

This starting happening with Elsweyr.

Defilted · June 2019

The framerate drops since Elswyer are bad. It can happen just standing there. No real framerate issues before this. It is not lag. It is a huge drop in framerate. Somewhere there is some code that needs cleaned.

mrs_helheim · June 2019

7 of my group had to drop from vss last night because it was so horrible. We were dying from things we clearly weren't in, aoes not showing up, adds invisible, tank taunting but it not registering, skills not registering so half of us are just standing there like idiots, can't rez cause the option doesn't come up or it says pending when none of us even got to the rez, oh and at one point I got smacked under the map. It's such a mess I'd rather just not play anymore.

I didn't provide a video but I already mentioned this in a prior thread I created. This drove me insane; it reminds me of how NWO operates or how ESO was when it first launched on console. It is so bad that I die for no reason than the enemy just shows up over my corpse. It is really bad with lag. I was told give it a few weeks and it will resolve it self.

I'm not buying that at all. I think the update impacted the connection to the server and yeah with removing some combat info on our screen it does improve lag a bit but I want to see the damage numbers and that shouldn't cause that much lag.

DR4GONFL1 · June 2019

Playing City of Ash 1 last night (just my brother and myself) and I was dead on floor before seeing the enemy appear I think 3 times and same thing was happening to him as well... We restarted, logged in, and his load screen froze. So I waited for him to try again and when he finally got in the lag was the same, unplayable. We ending up having to go do something else.

I've never seen it this bad before and wouldn't you know ESO has nothing to say...

Toc de Malsvi · June 2019

PVP was pretty solid for me until Saturday night. That's when a bunch of players got kicked to character selection screen in the middle of Cyrodiil for no reason, people were asking about it in zone chat. Logging back in and my character had moved back 1-2 min of gameplay to the other side of a keep. About 10 min after logging back in Cyrodiil performance pooped the bed, and has been craptastic lag ever since for me.

In the mornings and early afternoon when there is like 1 bar of each alliance its bearable, as soon as the campaign starts to fill I cannot barswap or use most of my skills. I was on every day there for a bit but I have dwindled down to not logging in for the past day or two.

pod88kk · June 2019

To be fair the past two chapters have launched a lot better than Morrowwind. For the first week I didn't know there was steps up to Vivec's temple because they never loaded in for me.

But yes I agree, at times Xbox EU is barely playable. I have to turn of the music, quest tracker, quest giver, combat cues & damage numbers so I don't lag out from a trial. Even then there's a serious drop in frames.

method__01 · June 2019

this terrible performance,negates everything good in game atm-and yes,imo Elsweyr chapter is worth buying-
but 14 days passed and still no info
why this silence from zos,when all complaining ?
