Annoying lags (PC-EU)

pink_panther · June 2020

It's just really hard to do a single rotation right because of input lag and also if I try to talk to Npcs it happens 0,5 seconds later. Is it possible to fix this or is it because of the event and the summer sale?

I stepped out of some red circles and it still kept damaging or killing me. I really don't feel like playing anymore it became especially bad in the last 2 days. Gonna play something else until it's getting better.

Can ZOS do sth about it? Or are they even doing sth already?

Irony is, every time they "upgrade" something or "improve" performance it always seems to go further downhill... I do wonder what these devs understand under Improvement or Upgrade, it really doesn't seem to be the same as we'd see those as.

Well, for this update we at least have doubled population as an excuse, but for U25... wow, that was worst "performance improvement" I ever saw.

For the input lag you are experiencing while playing, you can try the troubleshooting steps here and here which may improve your latency.

Oh come on.... @ZOS_BillE your game engine is BROKEN. You haven't scaled your infrastructure to handle the required bandwidth for the amount of players in your instances. The problem is NOT on the client end..

@ZOS_BillE [Snip] the fault is not on my end. Tons of people have this problems...

I'm on the NA server and the LAG problem is horrible too.

ZOS always responds with this: "For the input lag you are experiencing while playing, you can try the troubleshooting steps here and here which may improve your latency."

An attempt to take responsibility for themselves and throw it at us.

If the troubleshooting we've recommended isn't helping, you are welcome to proceed to opening a ticket with customer support. Our support team can investigate further into other possible causes for the lag.

Where the game becomes a nameless galley...

FPS between 1 and 5 Ping +999 How to play with these performances there.

They talk about improvements but I have the impression that they go in the opposite direction..

The links in the first post have been corrected to point to the correct help articles concerning latency and input lag. If you have any issues accessing them on the help site please let us know.

I have lag problems and decent internet speeds. On the odd occasion, I disconnect too. It's incredibly irritating when you have to make 11 other people wait for you because you disconnect and/or lag to death randomly in the middle of a trial.

What I'm doing/where I'm going is different, time of day is different, and on various other games, I don't get these lag spikes, just ESO.

i've mentioned this for info. after site maintenance, i've seen similar on links even from official support pages, redirecting to missing pages, and because it wasn't something important, i didn't put much thought at the moment.

So if I get it right I have a 1 year subs that won't be used since ping is just broken for many of us ?

here's another one to add to this thread. 999+ ping for absolutely no reason. i have 25gb up and down for my internet, with a sped test of about 1 ms to the closest ISP.
