ESO lag with my friend

Spacewolf78 · 03-25-2012, 09:08 PM

Recently when I've tried to play with my roommate, once we've gotten into the game, the game just stops every few seconds. Units stop in their tracks, buttons don't do anything, etc. I can still move around the map, and when either of us leaves the game, it stops happening. We've been able to play before and we're using ESO, and we both have VERY fast internet. Is something going on with ESO or something? We've tried reinstalling the game.

Are you both playing on the same network? I would suggest playing via LAN to see if that resolves the issue. If it does, then you may want to enable the port override feature:

Well the thing about LAN is that we tried extreme measures to get it to work to no avail, which is why we turned to ESO, which has worked until now.

Oh, and yes, we're on the same network. The weird thing is that it's worked until now.

Do you use a wireless connection, and are either of your computers DELLs? There's an odd conflict with DELL laptops and some routers that causes games to lag or time out. It can be resolved if you use a LAN cable instead of the wireless connection.
