✭Pre patch was crashing, cancel animations were still annoying to execute, but still playable.
Waited a whole week hoping for a fix so we could return to PVP : Today -> Very clunky indeed (PVE and PVP EU)
It's quite obvious that :
We don't enjoy being secretly "nerfed" (if one could say such a thing)...especially not this blatantly.
Please bring back 'dynamic' game play, because honestly...without it the game is like a web browser quality game.0 -
ZOS_JessicaFolsomCommunity ManagerHey folks, for those of you reporting new issues with weapon swapping, ability responsiveness delay, hitching or FPS spikes as of today on PC/Mac, are you using any addons and have you tried turning off out-of-date addons? We ask because we did make an update to the API today (see the note below) and it may have resulted in some addons being out of date.Addons- Refactored the chat formatting API to preserve existing use cases.
If you are not using any addons or have out-of-date addons turn off, please let us know? We'd like to rule that out if it's not the culprit. Also please note that if you noticed these issues with the Update 25 launch, we are aware and investigating.4 -

Input lag has increased significantly since update 25. No current out of date addons or libraries in use.
Only addon in use during pvp is action duration reminder and its required libraries4 -

As stated in my previous post, it isn't addon related.
You have to smash your buttons like there's no tomorrow to get a response as soon as you enter combat in Cyrodiil.
You always feel that you're not hitting your enemy, or that he isn't where he is supposed to be (on a nasa computer with 1 Gb fiber).
I had no problem previous to harrowstorm patch.Edited by Sarousse on March 2, 2020 7:56PM0 -

This happened right after the big download..lag, skills not responding, more lag, open items and lag, engage merchant to sell stuff..lag, all combat dungeons, etc lag, lag, lag, it's been on the forums for a few days now in different forum categories (if you bother to look). The average lag is between 390 ms to 15000 ms and then CRASH, CRASH, CRASH. Looks like fun times to me

Stevie6✭✭✭✭BTW it happens with or without addons. You also can have what looks like a good connection and lag (no response on skills and moving like molasses).1

KurtAngle2✭✭✭✭It has been happening since last week's patch and no, no addon is causing it.

With Update 25, coming to Xbox One and PS4 on March 10, our players on console should see greatly improved overall performance. Here's the full blurb from the PC/Mac patch notes that provides more detail:Additionally, please take note for this update, we’re refreshing our patching and file manifest data to remove duplicate files and older data that is no longer needed. This will result in major improvements to load times, streaming of assets, reliability of asset loads, and a reduction of space taken up by the client on your hard drive. In order to achieve this, you will be required to re-download the entirety of the game. To this end, the size of this update is 64.22 GB. To read more about this patching overhaul, please visit this website article. Don’t forget, we’ve added a free Crimson Torchbug Pet to the Crown Store for the next two weeks as a thank you for completing the re-download!
And we are working to get today's crash fixes over to console before Update 25 launches.1 -

This is not simply just a PC/MAC issue. This has been happening on console since midyear mayhem and I'm starting to feel like a broken record now but it is simply UNPLAYABLE. I log on just to get into fights that I cannot win due to skills not going off when I press them. And after talking to PC players it seems harrowstorm is no different. I really want to play and push out content but that just isnt possible right now...zDan - Xbox EU/NA

PC-EU up to 20 mins ago.
I turned all add-ons off and had the same issues. The input lag was unbearable, skills taking between 1 to even 4 seconds to complete, it feels like the GCD is a random number generator right now.

Quantum_VClass RepresentativeThe feeling I get is that some actions and skills got an extended Global Cool Down for some reason. It doesn't feel like lag, but after roll dodging, CC breaking or casting specific skills you can't do anything apart from moving you can't even use potions at times.
So again, it simply feels as if a secret hidden cooldown was added or some actions got extended Global Cooldowns.
If I were to guess, it has something to do with the block changes.12 -

I put on GCD bar with lag compensation to see how long things were taking. It is totally random from what i can tell. Sometimes things take 1 second, sometimes 4, but I can still dodge roll cancel stuff in the middle, because of that I feel it isn't just lag, or maybe I am only rolling client side!?

Agreed.
I felt that particularly on my magicka templar, when I was healing a trial the other day; it was as if my characters skills were sluggish, the succession for casting them was slower, even though I had my usual lag values, and now that you mention cooldown, it makes perfect sense. I really hope ZOS will look into this, it wasn't fun playing like that at all.5
