Maintenance for the week of May 18:
· [COMPLETE] NA megaservers for maintenance – May 18, 4:00AM EDT (8:00 UTC) - 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC)
· [COMPLETE] EU megaservers for maintenance – May 18, 8:00 UTC (4:00AM EDT) - 13:00 UTC (9:00AM EDT)

What the *** did they break this time?

After todays maintenance, my game crashes randomly to the desktop. Sometimes with a weird error-message I can never read because...read the next senctence. Most of the time locking my complete system to such a degree that I have to restart the pc. And before you say anything: it only happens with ESO. Usally the crash follows right after a lag-spike, or even before getting properly in-game.

When in-game, my latency is suddenly through the roof. Used to be around 30 a year ago, the past 6 months it was around 90, and now its suddenly 300+ with spikes well over the 999+.

Dont know what ZoS did today, but has anyone else noticed these problems all of the sudden?

    ISP is the first thing I checked. 12 ping, 60mb/s download, 59 mb/s upload. Other online games run smooth as ever.

    Don't have these problem but sine today I got huge random FPS drop..
    Was happy to have fix it 2 month ago and here we go again, even with everything in low fps just go crazy for no f***** reason...

    If the perf patch is not gonna fix these issue, I'll probably stop to play, it just not enjoyable at all and prevent me to do any serious content..

    Locking up your entire system and forcing a hard reboot is indicative of a problem specific to your pc rather than caused by the game. Have you applied any OS or driver updates lately? Drivers are really common culprits in things like this

    You would say, but no. Its just that the error that is supposed to close down ESO doesnt correctly.

    Today is the big patch?
    ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Yeah, I'm on Xbox one X and it usually runs great, but today was horrible with disconnects and lag, hope it gets fixed real soon.

    They haven't made any changes as there was no patch. Maintenance was at their end, probably just server reboot and associated tweaks. I am PC EU UK and have no issues. It could be coincidental that during yesterday morning some other device was updated which is actually causing you problems. Try using system restore to go back to a time before yesterday's maintenance, Sunday for example.

    If the entire system is freezing up, that's a local issue. Could be faulty memory, or like Reverb said, it's probably a driver issue.

    Nope.
    My game didn't even patch yesterday (Monday); nothing downloaded, I mean. Only the PTS patched on my machine yesterday.
    And I had no problems once I got in-game, either.

    I checked, and nothing has updated. Usally when ESO crashed I got the ZoS Crash-reporter. After the downtime, its suddenly an invisible error-message, with just the ESO cursor being stuck in Windows and ESO failing to close down properly forcing me to reboot.

    Yeah looks like your end mate, I asked in the guild, all is fine. Run a virus/malware check and try the system restore if that doesn't find anything.

    Ran my virusscanner / antimalware thingy, yielded nothing. Same with the systemrestore. The error-message as far as I can tell now says there was an unexpected termination of the connection to the server. Sounds possible as I got huge lagspikes since the downtime as well.

    Try temporarily disabling your A/V suite and see if that makes a difference for your game. Also check for other running processes, especially those that also access the video or sound cards.

    Sounds like something on your system is conflicting with, and getting priority over, your ESO processes and connection.

    This, I updated my Windows 10 today and had a few crashes tonight that I knew were the culprit of my PC not the game. The game was running really smooth Sunday and then I played last night after I updated and it was pretty laggy so yeah, driver/update thing is my guess as well.

    I'm not going to say you're right or wrong....but i've had significantly more lag since the Sunday/Monday maintenance than I've had the last few months.

    I know my ISP is running through old lines to my house so i get ping spikes commonly, but this most recent lag has been FPS loss, and huge game/server desync + input lag.

    So i'm with you, something has changed, and its not good lol
