Split-second lag/frame stutter

Since patch download, I've been getting split-second lag/frame stutter whenever I enter a new area or open a new screen.

Currently V4 in Shadowfen area. I saw others were having loading screen issues in Shadowfen as well (mine are intermittently fine).

I did make a change to my game files to skip the log-in screen movies but I doubt this is connected.

Tried relogging & rebooting my router.

Anyone else having this issue?

Edit: Tried disabling unused sound drivers, updated Video card driver, disabled all add-ons; problem still exists.

    Don't normally bump my own post but I'm still getting frame stutter since the last patch. I've tried disabling unused audio drivers that worked for others but not me.

    Any suggestions?

    I get this whenever I join a group, or whenever someone joins or leaves. The entire game completely locks up and ceases to move at all for up to a second. Disabling all addons hasn't solved it so I really have no idea.

    I about had a boss dead and then it did the freeze and then I was dead as soon as the game resumed

    Rolled an alt in DC - same thing so I guess it's not faction or area specific. I don't know what was changed but this sure is frustrating.

    Happening to me also. Split second freeze if I loot something, open bag and numerous other occasions. Only started after recent patch.
    Not game breaking or anything but so bloody annoying I eventually quit and go play something else :(

    Changing these line values from "-1" to "0" fixed this problem for me a few patches back, and it has stuck. No more micro-stutters.

    SET RequestedNumJobThreads "0"
    SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "0"

    The file to change is in your Documents/My Documents UserSettings.txt file -- wherever you have it as it is different for various Windows versions... Mac? Who knows.

    Mine is located here for Windows 7:
    C:\Users\*username*\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\UserSettings.txt

    Hope it helps. :smiley:

    Its not just DC for me. Davon's Watch in vet EP is a prime example. When I ride through the doorway that goes from outside to inside the town walls (by the wayshrine) I always get the stutter. I can go back and forth through the doorway and every time it happens. The ini file fix did not fix it. I guess its about a quarter second stutter.

    Confirmed - I'm getting is issue too (again). This is a regression from a fix in 1.0.6:

    • Fixed an issue that would cause your screen to occasionally freeze and cause unwarranted CPU usage.

    The freeze can, at worst, last up to 10 seconds.

    Weird. I am not getting it anywhere. When I did get it, it could last up to 10 seconds, like you stated, @zazamalek‌ . Maybe it is only in VR areas? I am not a VR so I can't say, but perhaps you all should post where it happens/level then show that data to ZOS?

    Oh hey, look. The developer tracker lead me to this -- ZOS is asking for DXdiag feedback for the stutters.

    Not sure, it seems to happen after extended gameplay - but yeah, I spend most of my time in VR (during early access, before 1.0.6 it happened in low level areas).

    Im getting this in VR Rivenspire. I also get a frame rate drop many times when the "white quest writing" scrolls up the screen.
    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

    Its most likely an addon issue. Disable the ZRMM minimap if you have it. fixed it for me. using the lightweight minimap now and no stutters anymore.
    was worst, when you started a group and players left/joined the party or zoned. Also when quest updates popped on the screen.

    Disabled all addons and still going into Davon's Watch does it every time. I can go through the gate repeatedly and it never fails to stutter as I go through. This is the VR6 version of Davon's Watch. Thats not the only place but its a good loc to test at because its right next to a wayshrine.

    But really any open gateway that has the quest icon floating in the middle of it will do it every time.

    edit: western gate of coldharbor does it too.

    No. Ive played since day 1 without any micro stutter but all of a sudden its here. It happens when quest test scrolls up the screen, and when I run through any "quest objective" gateways as mentioned above.

    I've been getting this since Monday's patch. Found nothing to fix it yet. It isn't the same as the group event problem. Happens when running around solo. Mostly noticeable when changing from one area of the map to another. When the white text pops up in the top right corner of the screen to tell you you've entered a different place. It's poopy.

    I tried this and it seems to have solved the white text (NPC interaction) stutter but not the new area or quick mouse turns. Overall it helped, thank you for sharing.
