Hi people,

I mainly PvP but I already gave up on Cyrodiil because it seems to be beyond our fixing and happens to everyone.
But since last Friday in pve zones I am lagging too. Horribly. Am I the only one?
And I double checked my pc specs again, I am very well above the requirements. Plus internet seems to be working fine with other things or games. So how do I fix it?
I dont know what I am expecting but any suggestion like delete this, clear this, did you try turning your computer off and on kind of thing?
I thought at least I would clear zones and complete the game...

Ps. I also always played in high-settings smoothly (except cyrodiil or event zones), I even lowered to medium looking at this garbage looking graphs and still lagging

    no way to fix it's an issue most of us are having right now. we just have to wait it out and see what the next major update brings. if it brings nothing in the way of performance i'd say a lot more people most likely including myself will leave. degradation of performance has been an ongoing thing and it's time it stopped. fix performance more people will stick around. let it slip and people will just leave because the game is unplayable. 13mil accounts they reckon, yeah sure with 12 mil dead accounts smh.

    Imo, and the general opinion will be, there's nothing you can do about it since it's a server issue.

    sadly thats the question we are all asking ourselves right now. there are other games yes but we want this one to work obviously but there's only so much waiting people can do before they decide F it and leave.

    It's like a scab you just cant help but to pick at. I was obsessed with it last night.

    Just firing buff abilities off away from fights trying to see how long after a weapon swap I had to wait to even attempt a skill without it activating the ability in that slot in the previous bar, how many times do I need to press the button; each buff seemingly different.

    Watching my performance stats, I see FPS hold steady 55-60 because I keep settings down. I do see ping go from 165 when I first get in, to 250 once in Cyrodiil where it then spiked. Sometimes 350, sometimes 450. Random numbers all the way to the 900s!

    I get speed test ready and wait for a spike. Maybe my PC is really having connection issues. Alt tab over as I spike to 500 and run the test. With ESO running I get ~90 down ~30 up.

    It's a lost cause yet I obsessed over it because there really is nothing running the equivalent to Cyrodiil right now that isnt completely outdated. So here I am; waiting for this to get fixed, or something else to be more than just above vaporware.

    Wait. Is it actually lag (caused by ping) or do you have low fps? If you just started having low fps it has nothing to do with the servers and you have a hardware issue, maybe overheating. One of my friends had very low fps and I opened up his pc, we realized that the fan wasn't fully working so his pc was overheating. He got it fixed.

    No, I lowered graphs in settings, I thought maybe it would help
    I also used fan-booster but still no effect :/

    That was my first and only MMO but I'd be happy to learn about other options until it is fixed :/
    I am looking for something more medieval, fantasy type :|

    I even came to terms to accept medium quality settings even though my computer is able to run high and ultra high but the lag... :|

    At least I was able to quest, what can possible cause a lag in Greenshade I mean :|

    Just something to think about and something I have experienced. There are times when Windows is updating in the background and that will cause the game to lag out badly.

    Might be a little odd but just to be sure, you are using ethernet over wifi? I mean unless it's MU-MIMO wifi but I noticed substantial difference in acquiring a gaming router went from avg 40 - 100 ping to 8 and with the ethernet no more my side lag. Just throwing this out there.

    Why do we have degradation after every dlc/patch?
    All these people blaming the desync and lag on everything other than the code and server load.
    Ridiculous.
    Zos is just going to keep introducing more content until the game legitimately stops functioning (unless you're an rper). Then they will take all the cash they made on idiots in the crown store and close up shop

    In the past I had unbearable lag after an update. My solution was to update all my addons.

    If you have unbearable lag I would:
    - Update addons
    - Restart Modem/Router/Computer
    - Pray it works

    Also I think if there are other members in your family that are streaming videos or playing other games online, it might cause your game to disconnect or lag more than normal.
