Dawnbreaker bug / delay / desync

arch1t3ct · April 2023

It's almost impossible to play Dawnbreaker after last update. Most of the time (like literally 50% of times) my db gets heavily delayed for like 2 seconds after i cast it, especially if i do medium or heavy weave before it. I press db, nothing happens for 1-3 seconds and i can't press anything during this time, then BOOM everything i pressed hits the target all at once. Sometimes this desync helps me oneshot enemies, but mostly it just messes up my combo and screws everything up. Also very often, i press db and i have no idea if it even went off or not since there is simply no animation at all (my ulti points get wasted though)

The whole game now feels like a prime time cyrodiil no matter where am i - battlegrounds, duels, imperial city etc etc. Patch by patch it's getting worse. This is beyond frustrating

“…patch by patch it’s [performance] is getting worse.”

I have noticed this also on Xbox NA. From the break free bug to bumper skills not working to more delays in just about every skill or move, combat seems to get clunkier and less reliable with each update the past year. I wish someone could explain why.

Ha, I thought this was just me or something on Xbox NA. Even BG’s have felt like prime time Cyro…

My dawny is missing too much because of the speed people can move at the moment.Thats my opinion at least. I have to aim in front of them to hit.

I've noticed this even on pve land. I have to spam my ult key a few times to get dawnbreaker to fire in dungeons.

This increasing lag problem usually indicates it's time for a maintenance, in my experience. I think the game's spaghetti code results in inceasingly poor performance until they do a reboot, after which the game usually runs great for me for awhile.

Yeah I've been saying for a few days now how frustrating it is. Skills dont work even in battle grounds. There are so many times when I could have gotten kills but my skills wouldn't activate.

This bug has existed for about a year now. I've reported it a number of times but it doesn't seem like it'll be fixed anytime soon.

Yes, but now it’s even worse. Battlegrounds being laggy is making the bug more. I couldn’t believe, but even in a normal random dungeon it was laggy tonight. This game makes me want to bash my head against a wall sometimes, it’s beyond frustrating.

Happened to me several time last night in BGs. It’s not the intended delay of 600ms, or whatever. It’s a 2-3 second desync. I don’t see DB go off, I only see that my ultimate points are gone and maybe there is a stunned or dead opponent on the ground. I was playing Xbox EU.
