The Elder Scrolls Online: Audio Lag, More Load Screens, Slow Enviroment Loading (Workarounds)
Short answer
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Use the ESO launcher's main menu to select game options and hit repair to fix corrupted files. Alternatively, remove Reshade if you use it.
How to fix it
Repair the game files
- Open the ESO launcher.
- Go to the main menu, then Game Options.
- Click Repair and let the launcher scan and replace any corrupted files.
Remove Reshade (if you use it)
- Exit the game and the launcher.
- Delete or disable the Reshade files/folder that you added to the ESO directory.
- Restart the launcher and launch the game again.
If it still doesn't work
- Check whether the issue occurs only occasionally (about 20 % of the time).
- Consider that the problem might be hardware‑related and could appear only in ESO.
- Test other games to confirm they run without the same symptoms.
- If the above steps don’t help, you may need to wait for a future patch or seek additional assistance from the official support channels.

There it could be any number of issues have you tried to repair the elder scrolls online game by going in the launcher's main menu underneath the game options and hit repair at all to see if it would resolve the issue it could just be some corrupted files in the game itself that's causing the audio lag

Can you tell more what you do to fix this problem? 1. If there is a hardware problem, which I'm hoping for you that it isn't, it doesn't always appear in any other games. Sometimes an issue only makes itself known in one game. 2. If you can…
