Horrible lag in Blackreach.

xaraan · May 2020

Is Blackreach part of cyrodiil? Because it feels the same when I'm there. My templar can't use jabs, I can't harvest anything b/c of the lag, and skills are not firing off. It's not any busier than Greymoor topside, in fact less so from what I've seen.

Just wondering now that we have gotten to the last of the performance improvement patches, when the performance was going to improve?

seems you encounter the stamina bug introduced with update 25.

Typing "/reloadui" fixes it temporarily.

Stamina bug prevents you from harvesting?

Oh it's not the bug where your skills are locked. This is exactly like cyrodiil lag. Skills will fire off eventually, unless you try any sort of rotation and move on to the next skill, then it's a crapshoot as to which ones will have fired off.

not 100% certain, but it breaks a lot. I encountered for example that I could not revive when I was killed because I was not able to fight, had to log out.

Yeah, same thing is happening to me, but above the ground in Western Skyrim. My skills are not firing off until about 2 seconds after I activate them...it’s some kind of lag. But there aren’t even any other players around me.

I’ve had zero issues with lag issues anywhere in new zone

do you use a stamina toon? The bug might affect magicka toons only, suddenly everything consumes stamina. I am not certain though if it is limited to them. I play my STAMsorc rarely, and did not encounter the bug during these rare occasions.

This was a problem both today and yesterday btw, and is not connected to the stam bug. It's purely an issue with lag and seems to hit that zone worse than topside.

Nope play a Magdk

yet more maintenance happening tomorrow am, hopefully to fix this mess....

Definitely laggy for me with a stamina templar. Generally “playable” but random delays on skills and harvesting, with weird issues where the map at wayshrines would stay up when it shouldn’t. Other game zones were like normal.

Working as intended.

I'm having this problem in all heavily populated areas. Like Malabal tor is fine, but i go to summerset and i'm swimming through molasses

I had this problem in Blackreach today, too. I stood there for serveral seconds - several times -- with my greatsword like i was waiting to take a golf swing, while everyone around me was firing off jabs, staffs, etc., and killing the mobs.

I made a new build today. Did my routine of go to Rift and use it on Mammoths and Giants. I suppose I could use a dummy, but I like to move from target to target quickly and practice keeping my buffs up. I had awful lag there and I have no idea if there would be anything causing a lot of people to be in that area. I had better performance going to Gray Host for Cyrodiil. At least for a while until the entire server stacked at Glade.

I was also in The Rift today (trying to finish the zone story before I took the character to Skyrim) and agree that it's very nearly unplayable right now. My theory is that it's overpopulated due to all the people looking for vampire/werewolf bites.

Yeah, ping spikes anywhere from 60 to 750

Unplayable ZOS. Get your act together and do your job!

xaraan · May 2020

We are currently doing the dismanter Dwarven Colossus world boss in Blackreach, or trying to.

png has been 300+ to 999+

Boss has gotten down to 80some% twice now and reset. Abilities won't work, players are trying to just light attack it to damage it.

I can't imagine acting cocky about being the game lead of this game right now. If they had any pride at all, they'd be embarrassed.

it's just the server getting overloaded so it has brain farts. I remember having WB resetting before. That sucks

No, this is actually slower down in blackreach than up top. I've have huge zergs around me fighting and lots of population. This is definitely something specific to this zone IMO. Something is wrong that making it worse than other areas that just get busy.
