Clearly someone did not understand this is not and issues related to connectivity issues is a coding issues that come out between bar swap.

Anyway issues come out, i crafted 2 pairs of daggers and 2 bows in white lvl,no trait,no set bonus, i unequip everything
then i test with those i craft,

daggers+bow still issues
daggers+daggers no issues
bow+bow no issues

theres some issues occur like i said that happen. @Urusovite try to see when you get the issues to test the same and tell me. i hope zos reading this because at the moment every stamina or even my magplar are unplayable duo to this.

So this is really a thing and not just me being too dumb to press the right key or do it at the right time?
Yeah i have noticed that lately as well as a lot of lag in areas where a lot of players gather, it began after i updated Windows so that could have something to do but idk.

Just experienced this issue. I have a frame rate cap of 144 fps. When I bar swapped my screen would freeze for like 0.2--0.3s and I noticed my FPS counter would go from 144 to 100 or so EVERY time.

Reloading UI worked for me.. I'll see if this issue continues like another comment above said after 5-10 minutes. I'm also doing BGs where I noticed it start.

not freezes but during MYM I couldn't bar swap half of the time and experienced crashes every so often. Now, at least once during each gameplay session, I get disconnected (but I'm sure my internet connection is fine).

I've noticed happening a lot recently as well. Makes combat super janky when half the time you try to do something and the game goes "lol no".

I have the same issue on eups, doesn't matter my location, overland/dungeon or trial, I get a random stutter/freeze for half a second when moving quite fast.

Also when this is happening, when I bar swap from bow to daggers and vice versa the stutter/spike happens every time, and the only fix (temporary for 15 mins or so) as mentioned above is typing reloadui, I also only had this happened since the blackwood update.

Quite annoying, but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue, my pc version doesn't seem to have it, just the PS4.

This and a few other bugs/issues. No clue what causes it as they tend to show up randomly the longer I'm on a character.

Bar swapping freezes still here. Game on ps4. @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom any information about you aware of this issue?

Here is a video of it happening, you will see my fps counter drops from 208 to 175 when weapon swapping, 175 should be buttery smooth, but it feels like a slideshow each time I swap. It feels much worse than it appears, the video doesn't do it enough justice.

Returned to the game after a good 2 year break a few weeks ago. Ran better than I remember on my weak PS4. As soon as Blackwood dropped, I get a freeze every time I bar swap. I submitted a ticket of course but when has that ever yielded results?

Details:
THIS DOES NOT AFFECT EVERYONE! I only know about 5 other players out of maybe 20 I talked to with this problem. Everyone was on a PS4 or a PS4 Pro.

I thought maybe it was because I had activated the ability timers, but it happens even without. I tried turning all combat text, timers, and AOE colors off. Also had all and some of them on. The game freeze upon bar swapping remains. This happens whether you have abilities active or not, but it worse if you have abilities going.

If I sit on one bar, the game runs fine and is lag free. This is a problem though because pretty much nothing is playable. I can't do the new trial. I'm trying to picture myself in other trials like vCR wiping group because of the bar swap mechanic. Uhh can't do vMA, vVH, etc etc. I can't even get an updated parse for the trial guild I am in because I freeze with every single bar swap.

Can anyone let me know if they're also having this problem so we can get ZOS to fix it with the next patch?

Happens even on a PS5. It also depends upon the time of day; usually around 7pm est I start to see lag that impacts a variety of things like bar swapping.

I am on PC with a controller and I notice it. Its a controller issue it seems...not just console. I tested with a mouse and keyboard and didn't have much lag until i was using the controller UI. Reloading of the UI really doesnt seem to help. My guess is its something to do with the controller interface of the game or the "accessibility" settings or the way it reads controller input.

There are some other issues I noticed with controller play on PC vs PS4 console in this game that could use some work but thats for another thread.

This issue is still very prevalent, 10/18/2022. Have been dealing with this for years now.

PS4 NA

Description:
After 30 minutes - 1 hr of gameplay, the bar swap button begins to lag. As described in the numerous comments above, the lag spike that occurs can be described as a "stutter" lasting up to half a second. Whole screen freezes for about half a second. If you are moving while hitting bar swap, the character will jump forward to the location as if there was no lag at all. This leads me to believe it is client side, and not server side. Very annoying bug as in the middle of combat, bar swapping will freeze the screen for about half a second, while everything server side remains unfrozen.

Solution:
Exiting the app and restarting it. Simply logging out of a character and then logging back in is not enough. Restarting the app "resets" bar swap back to its default state, where it does not lag. Playing the game, however, contributes to the bar swap stutter, and it becomes noticeable after about 10 minutes of game play. After another half hour or 1 hr of gameplay, the bar swap stutter gets worse to the point of freezing for a half second or so.


Has this issue been addressed, or even acknowledged? Is the dev team aware of this issue that, evidently, a huge portion of the controller-playing population experiences?
