Elder Scrolls Online Lag Problems and Solutions

Many users have been looking for solutions to their ESO lag problems. While some have been checking online communities and forums, others are seeking in-game support. All of them are hoping to find a fix to their ESO gaming problem.

Unfortunately, there is no universal or proven solution to the problem. Until now, the developers of the game are trying to resolve the lag issues. That means, at this point, there is nothing much to do to fix the lag.

You can get around the problem by making adjustments to your Mac computer settings. Although there is no guarantee whether these adjustments can get rid of the problem, they’re still worth trying.

1. Check if your Mac is powerful enough to handle the game.

Is your Mac powerful enough to play Elder Scrolls Online? As technology advances and more games are released, there is also a noticeable change in computer specs for gaming. Adapting to these requirements is necessary if you want to play your favorite online games without any problems.

So, if you are experiencing lags while playing Elder Scrolls Online, that could be because your Mac does not meet the official system requirements for the game. Below are the minimum and recommended system requirements of ESO for Mac.

Minimum System Requirements:

Elder Scrolls Online Crown Store

• Operating System: Mac OS X 10.7.0 or later
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
• GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M, or ATI Radeon HD 6490M
• CPU: 4GB
• Storage: 60GB
• Media: DVD-ROM
• Resolution: 1024×768

Recommended System Requirements:

• Operating System: Mac OS X 10.9
• Processor: Intel i5
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 640 or AMD Radeon 5670
• CPU: 4GB
• Storage: 85GB
• Media: DVD-ROM

Make sure your Mac has met these system requirements. If not, better upgrade your Mac to fix your lag problem for good.

2. Make adjustments in the Graphics Settings.

If upgrading your Mac is not an option, try to adjust the settings of the in-game graphics. Adjust all the in-game graphics settings from high to low and see if it can make a difference. After that, work your way through by finding the best setting that suits your current hardware.

3. Uninstall and then re-install the game.

If the second solution did not work, you can try removing the game and its launcher. Afterwards, try reinstalling them to see if your problem has been fixed. While this seems like an odd solution, it has already helped many users get through their lag problems. Perhaps this will work for you as well, if done properly and with the right amount of caution.

Once you have uninstalled the game and the launcher, use a cleanup program like Tweakbit Mac Repair to remove all the residual files and traces that still exist. Next, restart your Mac. As soon as your computer restarts, download the game and the launcher again. Check if Elder Scrolls Online still lags.

4. Make sure you have a fast and stable Internet connection.

Internet connection speed also matters when playing the game. One of the basic requirements for playing Elder Scrolls Online is a good internet connection of at least 4Mbps, both download and upload. The mentioned speed should not be shared with any other users or devices. It has to be allocated to your Mac alone.

If your Internet connection is wireless, then you might have problems. One common mistake made by ESO players is they use wireless internet connection. Technically, a wireless connection is prone to disconnections, lag, packet loss, and high pings. And sad to say, there is nothing you can do to improve it; only your Internet service provider can deal with it.

Always use a wired internet connection when playing Elder Scrolls Online and you can count on one less concern that leads to lag issues in the game.

Conclusion

Macs are not really known for their gaming prowess. But hopefully, the solutions above can help you fix severe lag problems when playing Elder Scrolls Online on a Mac computer.
