    I've got a new bug now: screen freezes.

    I've had them before but they've been highly irregular. Now they are something I experience every day. So the screen just freezes, you can still hear voice chat but the game just stands still. I've had those 4 days in a row now.

    1) My brother yesterday had 9 loading screens.. in 10 min in cyrodiil at home keep when we tried to run to resource! well done!
    2) *my hero dont light attack sometimes or heavy attack - when i hold mouse button for heavy attack my hero stats shaking and do nothing ... and this sounds - repeating 50% of his attack sound... WEIRD

    3)Weapon cannot be swapped... - crap!

    4)I stucked at breakfree - i cant use skills - i run around ... and i can break free every second - not being stunned - untill stamina ends.

    5)When i fire bow heavy attack - an arrow fired.. nothing happens and my hero stuck in bow heavy attack animation.

    6)I got stunned (26k stamina left) i cannot break free untill i got killed (SO MUCH FUN!)

    7)I got stunned - used breakfree > FEARED > breakfree > stunned (within 4-5 sec!)!? cant break free ofc.

    8)I got stunned and i didnt breakfree... i used roll-dodge > i glided on the ground still moving (stunned) and get up without problem (that was fun :D )

    9)I got strange freeze(1-2 sec) in fight (60 fps) then got stunned (again freeze untill i got killed)

    10)I was fighting with friend for fun - killed him (didnt wanted to end that way) with one LA - coz his hp was cutted in 1 sec for 20k of delayed DMG!

    11)I was running from couple of players... i used shield + rapid regen.. then turned around... one light attack killed me ... again a desync? (with shield on!)

    12)I was tanking > so holding block > then got killed coz - idk why my hero stop holding block??? > i figured out that u needs to watch if ur hero dont stop blocking and release mouse button then hold it again to block... (soo much fun with all this animation block bug effects!)

    I don't think the removal of block canceling is the catalyst for the performance degradation.
    It is their last attempt to fix the server performance which ruined it.
    Though it is obvious that the removal of this feature hasn't helped Cyrodiil performance either.

    One or more of those changes made it worse:
    Performance Improvements
    Frame rate stability improvements have been achieved by optimizing several systems. This means you will now encounter fewer drops in framerate, maintaining a smoother display of motion on screen. Please see below for a brief explanation of the technical work that was completed to support this.

    Optimized multi-threading implementation to improve performance in situations with lots of effects (particles, projectile effects, weather, etc.) happening at the same time.
    Optimized specific processes that could cause spikes in resource usage and cause FPS drops.
    Parallelized the fixture update processes, allowing them to utilize multiple cores to improve overall performance of the game client.
    Added additional miscellaneous CPU optimizations including the following:
    Parallelized terrain loading
    Optimized the Tutorial GUI
    Optimized compass pins
    Miscellaneous function improvements

    What, you mean is it better to have untargetable players and NPC’s, skills that don’t fire, stunned players moving around, rubber banding, huge delays, rng defining fight outcomes, and just completely unresponsive controls. Or a game that functioned? Hmmm tough call....

    In fairness though, they may not even be related. My skills and abilities feel very fluid for the most part (I am getting stuck in animations occasionally) in PvE and this change was supposed to effect the entire game, though I know this isn’t the case reported by everyone. But right now, when not even in combat, just simply being in cyrodiil, you know something is seriously wrong. I got around 7 short load screens just traveling out in the middle of nowhere in cyro yesterday... nobody around either...

    Zeni really dropped the ball here. And sadly I suspect that this will not be fixed for a long time to come, 6 months to a year sounds about right to me. Hopefully when I come back from other games, no-cp cyro will still have players, or I guess that will be it for me and ESO. SadKEK.

    I don't think removing block canceling ( or whatever the op is referring to ) has nothing to do with performance.

    I feel when they originally did the update the game was running smooth ( or at least it seemed ) but players were constantly getting kicked from the game. Once they released the patch that fixed the disconnections PvP became almost unplayable in the populated campaign.

    You claim to talk about facts at the same time talking about something you know nothing about. A couple months ago no-cp eu worked great. Now it’s completely broken, literally night and day. [Snip].

    It used to be a lot better AND have double the players. Over the years the pop cap has been reduced but performance still gets worse.

    So what did they do to Cyrodil?

    After all these years I still don't understand how can be that I have no problem and zero lag in Cyrodiil most of the time. OFC I believe that Cyrodiil is laggy for so many ppl, but for me the biggest problem is the wildly appearing loading screen out of the blue for just one second.

    On the other hand I have constant problem in battlegrounds. I don't have lag there either almost never, but my skills simply not registering way too many times, as someone wrote it above. I would say in combat situation every 20th skill usage is not working, like i didn't pressed the key, which is very bad.

    I gotta admit it was pretty funny last night when a 1v1 basically turned into a stare’n contest off n on...lol
    We’d be circling one another and nothing happening as neither of our Skills fire
    Than they’d start to work again....lol


    Heheh...very funny ZoS you can turn the performance back on now...

    1 v 1s have become a rng fest. I was trying to fight some dks yesterday that clearly werent lagging, and on my screen i took no damage, and suddenly my health just dropped to nothing. And on my recap apparently I was hit by 5 invisible attacks.

    My favorite is when I die to someone I've already killed... and my death recap shows they killed me with direct damage, not DoT.
