XBNA Performance is Awful

What is going on with this game? Why does performance get worse every year? It’s absolutely terrible in PvE AND PvP. You guys have had 5 years to fix performance and we still hit new lows all the time.
I genuinely believe you can’t fix console performance. So can we expect it to ever be smooth, without lag (or even just no disconnects) or what?
It’s really mind boggling. I know you’re making tons from subs and crown store so what is so hard about fixing major issues???

SweepsAllClowns✭✭✭✭Main selling articles are lag and loading screens in 2019, in the future Zenimax could tell these features add some exciting bonus challenge for players, it's all planned and amazingly well implemented indeed!0 -

✭✭✭✭✭PS4 NA is awful too. Performance was tolerable pre-Elsweyr. Not anymore.
After Elsweyr, we’ve got:
1. Major FPS loss when porting between wayshrines. This was an intermittent problem in the past, starting about a year ago, but now it can be reproduced with almost every port.
2. Skill input lag for 5+ seconds after porting to a wayshrine.
3. Major FPS loss when simply riding around in PVE areas (including deserted areas in vanilla game zones) that increases when engaging with basic PVE mobs. Looking at a slideshow because you’ve attacked a mud crab is super fun!
4. Unusually long screens, especially when porting between Cyrodiil and the rest of Tamriel, or when porting from the rest of Tamriel into Elsweyr (I previously only really got these in Cyrodiil in the past when transit shrining to a keep that was under attack).
5. Load screens that never end. The ouroboros at the bottom of the screen stops spinning, and you just never get out of that load screen. You have to forcibly restart the app to solve the issue.
6. Desynced audio when casting skills. It doesn’t always happen, but it seems to happen most consistently when you’re engaging a mob and your screen is in slideshow mode thanks to yet another FPS drop.
And that’s just in basic PVE.
I haven’t touched trials yet since Elsweyr dropped. In Cyrodiil, disconnects and long load screens are at an all-time high. Loading screens DURING BATTLE are also at an all-time high. Guild voice chat gets bugged every day in Cyrodiil. Basically, all the issues we had pre-Elsweyr are even worse now. We also have a new bug: rams that magically port above the door and stop dealing damage to said door (LOL, WTF ZOS?). Do you know how frustrating it is to have to go upstairs after you’ve taken down the front door to retrieve your magically teleporting ram before you can use it on the inner door, ZOS? AND we have that embarrassment of a skill, Pummeling Goliath Bash, to contend with because ZOS feels it’s acceptable to wait until Scalebreaker to give us the fix that PC got weeks ago.
ESO is in dumpster fire mode on console at the moment. I strongly encourage anyone who does more than trading and housing to cancel your subs and not give this company another cent until they fix this garbage. No other AAA game I play on console runs this poorly, or has so many ongoing and new bugs.Edited by Aurielle on August 3, 2019 12:57PM7 -

This one hears nothing. Sees nothing. This one only sweeps.

SoLooney✭✭✭✭✭I'm keeping my expectations low on how they plan to fix frames and load screens in the upcoming updates
That way I wont be disappointed when the updates do drop and they most likely fail4 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'll post this again for clarity. This is PS4 NA
https://youtu.be/wDFkw2caS4E
Keep in mind, this group I'm in has beaten vDSA countless times. This is far from our first go. Here, we cannot pass the second round.
Dying to invisible enemies, incredible lag, getting one shot by nothing, freezing even though the fire seems to still be in full blaze, taking damage while dead...etc.
We are four players in four different states (our healer lives in Texas, supposedly where the server is located) with four different internet companies. All of us had the same issues. You might try blaming internet connection. That would work for a single player. But four simultaneously? That's beyond a reach.
@Aurielle is absolutely right. Game is a dumpster fire at the moment.2 -

✭Well they did just give us a pretty significant timeline of performance improvements, mainly targeted at helping lower performance hardware run the game more smoothly. Obviously no one is keeping their fingers crossed but there is at least some hope for performance on the horizon.0 -
gronoxvx✭✭✭✭✭Xbox na. Just had our whole group dc in cyro after picking up a scroll from the reds only to have us all spawn back at our home keeps compared to where we were before we dc'd. Im so close to quitting this game.Edited by gronoxvx on August 3, 2019 4:31PM0 -

Still waiting on one of you "no issues" players to show a video of two huge zergs fighting in a keep, full of siege and players, showing no issues. (In this Elsweyr patch)

INB4 this becomes another "console sucks and it's your fault for being poor" thread, and we all have to pile in with examples of other games and MMOs that run really well on console ...4 -

They have issues too...dont let the silly talk fool you.
That's why I keep asking to see video of this prestigious performance...and haven't seen a single one yet. It'll expose the lie...🤣
I've heard all the excuses too. "I don't zerg"...that's great, no one said you had to. Just be in the keep as these two lag balls fight it out.
"I don't make videos"...in that case, you're asking me to take you at your word. On the internet. Who does that?
"Of course two zergs will be laggy"...great, then you DO have issues. The #1 issue is lag, so congratulations. You're just like the rest of us.

Yup. In between Cyrodiil queues I’ve been farming for a viper 1h axe in Fungal Grotto 1 and the lag in there is bad.
Have they made any announcements or anything? Even acknowledged?0 -

They have developed a 6 month plan to fix performance, as said on quakecon.
The plan will take three updates, U24,25, and 26.
However that being said, I’m not really too optimistic about their plan because this has happened before and the result just ended up as them completely ghosting everyone about said topic and ignoring all threads.0 -

I'm generally a casual PVE type of player, and I've been absolutely disgusted with performance since Elsweyr dropped. Even in zones where there is practically no player population, the amount of lag, screwed up audio and random load screens is a joke. I had to completely give up using Rapids on my mount because it invariably puts me into a 30-40 second load screen. Lately, I log on just long enough to do writs on my main, and even that has become painful.
