    Check PVP prime time (Cyrodiil)


    >:) Game is unplayable >:)

    I pretty much PvP 95% of the time. For me yesterday on no cp pc EU I had the best connection and most reactive gameplay I've had in a while. Unfortunately like I've stated before I can't say if it was the update or the fact that I opened ports and made exceptions in my firewall. 😬

    On a modern router opening ports shouldn't really make much difference. I was going to do this, but after reading found that it won't have much/any impact if you have a reasonably modern router.

    I thought the same thing until I played modern warfare and it told me my nat was strict and that was with a 2019 modem with upnp. I can only say what I have experienced, and that is with those steps, plus the update my gameplay is better, not perfect, but better.

    Yeah this is true, but I'm less confident in Windows firewall doing funky things.

    I use a different firewall that's part of my security system. Never trusted the normal windows one.

    Performance is much worse than it used to be. New crashes have been introduced in certain areas (Bloodmayne front door) that are replicable where the game freezes for multiple people. I say this in the Hope's that ZOS can fix these new issues introduced with the performance improvement plan and am hoping they can turn this around by the time the plan is complete.

    Still long loading screens
    All others are still black holes when I’m coming from wilderness to a bigger city
    Still some stutter
    Still some frames that seems off - I’m getting glimpses of something that aren’t the surroundings, but it happens so fast I can’t figure out what it is

    Skills seems to work

    I haven’t set foot in Cyrodiil. Mostly because the new non-cp aren’t alliance locked and it’s pretty clear that something’s going on

    The pink blobs, black blobs or white blobs? I've seen those quite often in the last year. Pink blobs seem to be gone for me now.

    I'm not so confident... average player just on steam have dipped by nearly 1000 since the patch dropped.

    Game is absolutely 100% unplayable. If you can't rely on skills to fire to combo, you cannot play unless you're in a 24 man group and have literally no concept of what is happening with your skills anyhow. Game broken, not fixed.

    Better but still awful. Certainly not in a state to say we're ok until the next major update.

    Man. I guess I was just lucky this time. It's crazy how some can be fine and some not with near identical hardware.

    I made exceptions for eso64.exe for my firewall, and opened the recommended ports, dunno if that helps at all.


    Think that's weird for PC? Playing on PS4, which means we're all playing on one of only two possible hardware configurations, and yet everyone in PvP groups is reporting totally different experiences. For some the game crashes twice an hour, for some no crashing but lots of lag and skill delays, and a lucky few having no problems with anything.

    It seems good/fine to me. IDK? Only thing I did yesterday was mages guild quest, writs and run through maelstrom. PvP always runs poopy for me so I’ll probably not be able to tell if it’s good better or even worse.

    A lot of what I do is run around questing, and that works fine. Maybe today I’ll try some 4 person dungeons and BG’s. I hadn’t had any problems with them, so they’ll probably also be fine? Well find out later.

    If you can, I highly recommend the steps i described, because either the update worked great for me, or the steps i took did the trick. Hard to tell since I did both about the same time xD.

    Today the problem now is that the quests stop working part way through. You need to log out and back in and hope that the NPC, item, or whatever is active again.

    Yesterday was fine for me.

    But tonight the lag is awful.

    Chat delays, chat appearing in wrong order.

    Bar swaps erratic again.

    Combat basically awful.

    This was happening in every zone I entered.

    Maybe it is down to the amount of people online with people being off work due to this damned virus.

    Things only gonna get worse. Two UK cinema chains close down for a while from tomorrow. Casinos and other leisure industries will follow as people stop going out.

    Means online is gonna become more packed; expect lag everywhere.
    Live a little love a lot send all your gold to this Imperials pot.

    I too was happy ahead of time ;)
    On monday everything was fine, but today it is simply unplayable, as soon as I entered Cyrodiil it immediately crashed for me, a bit later my abilities simply stopped being activated, although the resources were used on them and the animation was simply absent.

    Skills aren't activating immediately in some cases. The ping is absolutely through the roof in PVE zones, which is completely unnecessary. I experienced a ping spike of 400-999+ in Stros M'Kai, a beginner zone that is predominately empty. Attempting dragons, dolmens, world bosses, and dungeons are completely impossible at this moment in time. I tried playing three times today, two in quiet PVE zones, once in a dungeon. I was eventually booted each time because they game was pinging so high and stuttering. I can't even imagine what PVP looks like right now, but I imagine it's a complete mess.
