Insane high ping after today's patch

NeKryXe · November 2022

At first I thought that it was a problem with my internet connection, but I've been monitoring everything and it doesn't seem to be that. My line seems to be ok. But I've been having extreme ping instability. On group events, like dungeons, sometimes I get over 999 and everything stops for many seconds. Even alone, just wandering in the world, sometimes it goes above 300. This started today after the update. Any ideas? Is it coincidence? Did something change that I'm not aware?

Whew! You aren't kidding! I didn't have a ping that seemed out of the ordinary but the servers really started to feel like the old ones from a few months ago. I tried to farm out another Tier1 in Cyrodiil tonight. What a mess! Rubberbanding all over the place, people popping in and out of existence, and I could not stand to see another gap closer tell me INVALID LOCATION one more time. I just ended up leaving for the night without getting past my first 2k ap. Too frustrating!

Happened to me at a busy dolmen. 999 ping then game crashed. Ran dungeons and trials and some people in group were having the same issue with 999 ping and disconnecting.

It was laggy and stuttery in some places like the beginning of Rockgrove just as you go through the door to enter. I was about to restart the game when it cleared as I went further into the trial. The beginning of Dread Sail Reef is like this too when you jump off the ship.

It's getting worse today. Now when the ping raises I'm moved to the login menu and I get a weird error message with no information at all. Again I checked everything on my internet service and didn't find any problem there.

I didn't notice it, and I played for a few hours yesterday evening and the one before. I play from Melbourne, Australia, with an average ping of about 400, and it was pretty stable.

I don't understand. I was playing ok after disabling the pets in town thing, then they forced a new patch on monday, the ping raised and now I'm constantly having lots of problems and moved to login. It all started right after the patch.

If it's not your internet connection, perhaps one or more of your plugins is somehow conflicting with the update ? It's been known to occur. Unless you're not playing on PC/Mac, in which case ignore this comment!

It's PC EU. I'll try it again without plugins. But it's weird because it happens even when I'm stopped. I noticed that I don't receive the in game emails fast now. There's always a message informing that I have undelivered mail that'll take minutes to appear. And it's not caused by any addon. Can it be an account related problem? Before the update I was receiving the items I buy in the mail really fast, now it sometimes take hours. And reloadui doesn't solve it. So... problems with ping, crashs, logouts, and now... mail broken.

Our help article linked below offers different troubleshooting you can try for latency issues while playing ESO.

Latency / Lag - Technical Support - The Elder Scrolls Online

BabyDeathClaw · February 2023

I have now exact same problem, After the maintenance 07.02.2023. My ping increased from 60-70 to bare minimum of 200. When loaded to dungeons - it becomes completely unplayable with stutter, constant teleportations and 999 ping.
I deleted all the addons, problem persists.
Checked my connection - everything is fine.

biggz73 · February 2023

Just here to report the exact same thing. Connection outside the game appears normal.

In-game latency meter may report 60ms or 999+ms, all the while there's an actual delay of up to 30 seconds.

Elsonso · February 2023

Hmm. There was a tweet from someone showing an 800+ ms latency.

(Personally, I was in PC NA Galen for about a half hour. Never saw anything above 110 and nothing lower than 50.)

zeyva · February 2023

Same thing for me. After maintenance ping is 450+. Prior to patch it was 70-90ms.

Elsonso · February 2023

Try porting to a different zone then porting back.

SleepyJoe90 · February 2023

On EU server, Windows 10.
Since patch day I've not been able to play for long without my ping increasing to the point where the game gives up.
Movement, rubber banding and stationary NPCs are an indicator of an imminent game crash.

I've noticed that its particularly prevalent in either busy areas or those where you may be passing though lots of loading screens in quick succession e.g., into and out of buildings or dungeons.

I have made no changes to my setup and note that once out of Elder Scrolls Online all is well.

the_wanderer001 · February 2023

Last couple of days the game has become unplayable for me!

Working fine when logged off, next day huge problem with stuttering... ?
it seems ok if I don't move or move in a straight line but, just try and look up/down/left/right, fps jumps all over the place, game is then stop-start.

tracert shows a possible problem at the eso EU server!

Any ideas anyone?
