    same issues since update 1.2.3 Before update i was running the game perfectly.
    -No spells animation
    -no weapon swap animation
    -invisible mobs
    -delayed audio
    -when i get damaged it dont show on health bar
    -many random loading screens
    -even when deconstructing stuff the audio is delayed
    -discovered x area screen messages not appearing
    overall the game is unplayable for me.I love the game still having fun with it but with all this recent issues after 1.2.3 I just cant play it.So,you know no matter how awesome the game is if it got broken i see no reason to play it.I have 14 days of game time and if the issue if not resolved by the time game time ends i see no reason to renew subscription.

    They refuse to even acknowledge it or say "were looking into it". Which either means they know about it and could care less about letting us know it's a work in progress...or...they think it's specific to certain hardware or addons and are pushing the blame on that.

    But multiple people, multiple hardware types, multuple OS's and drivers. With or without addons, fresh installs, recreated or modified ini files all should be a clue that it's not a client side issue.

    I'm starting to think ESO is just a grad students project, and i give it a D+ at best.

    Perhaps you might try looking in the Developer Tracker or Developer Discussions for the latest news. Hopefully the new fix will get things back to normal again.

    Well that would be helpful. Except the only useful info is for the FPS issue which isnt in regards to this. Haven't seen a post yet from the devs (sorry i mean't forum mods/glorified answering service) regarding this particular issue.

    The new fix hasn't. Read the pertinent threads. Instead of going to the Dev Tracker, and heres the irony in that statement as that shouldn't be anything to do with a live service that's Service Operations or Service Delivery....ZOS could maybe engage with their community and respond to one of these threads with an update...A radical suggestion I know but hear me out.

    We love the game, we want to play the game, we want the game to be a success; keeping the player base updated is half the battle.
    If we know things are being looked at and they can "manage our expectations" then I for one wouldn't be so hacked off right now. This wall of silence is what's annoying people...no wonder they are looking to hire a Community Director, doubt there will be much of one left by the time they employ the right Woman/Man though.

    Just post this: "We recognize this issue and are looking into it. If there's a problem that is causing people TO NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY we will give them credits based upon that."

    Greetings folks!

    We're aware that the FPS issue did not get fixed after yesterday's patch and, in some cases, actually made it worse. Our team has identified what's causing this, and we are working on a hotfix now. We will keep up to date when this hotfix will be deployed.

    No thank you @ZOS_HugoP for giving an update to the current situation. I take it that the FPS issues are linked to the draw/performance issues as well.

    If we could be kept in the loop as to any developments that would be great.

    I am guessing that there may be a policy in place outlining a protocol for how and when to address in-game issues publicly in order to prevent incorrect information being shared or to ensure there is enough information for a proper response. And the folks who moderate here may also be needed elsewhere at times to assist in tracking down and responding to problems.

    So yes, it does sound like saying "We're looking into it" is an easy thing to do, and it is from a physical effort required standpoint, but who knows what is going on behind the forum scenes. This is neither and indictment nor a defense of how things are or aren't handled by the forum admins, but for all we know they are waiting for approval to post something.

    I hope to Molags Balls(god) that @ZOS_HugoP is confirming the issues talked about in this thread are related to the FPS issue and that it's not another case of failing to read the thread. Because my FPS is fine, running the same as always, i'm just waiting forever for all the textures and player models to load walking around an empty city for a minute or 2 before "POOF" ahh there they are....

    PvP was unplayable due to the massive FPS decrease problem. Now PvE is also struggling. I just killed by an invisible scamp, because I could not target it. It really is becoming a disaster ZoS. Please do something about this game as it's getting too late.

    Ah well, someone from Zenimax replied right after I started typing my comment. But yeah, it seems like they never reply until they can say "We've identified a problem and are looking for the cause..." or "We've identified the cause and are working on/testing a fix..." It doesn't ever seem like the silence means someone isn't working to figure out what's going on.

    I went through several rounds of beta, and that issue with stuff like mobs, textures, etc. not popping in right away (gods, especially the mobs! I died so many times) go all the way back to beta. The fact that they still don't have that sorted to any appreciable degree is making me glad I decided to wait until most of the bugs are sorted/the games six month anniversary or whichever comes first (which is my normal policy with a new MMO).

    Chocolate teapots... I love that. You wouldn't happen to be a regular over on the Ask A Manager blog, would you? There's a running joke about them there.

    This morning in vuhkel guard i went from the crafting station to the bank, on a horse,.
    As soon as i pressed sprint on the horse i got a auridon loading screen. Luckily i still had all the stuff i crafted still in inventory when the game continued.

    Then in the bank it took 2 minutes for the walls and chests to load. I started openening dressers and cubboards and had to wait for the rest to appear.

    If this happens in a bank i dont even want to find out what happens in a dungeon.
    Never had this before, thought i would share it.
    Yep. This quick little load screen they introduced several weeks back (although I rarely saw it compared to now). I believe they said it was implemented rather than having you fall through stairs, world, ect.

    If I zone into a city and jump on my horse right away and sprint I will see the short loading screen at least twice in row (sprint, loading screen, keep sprinting, loading screen again).

    Thank you for updating us on what's going on. Is there any way you guys could give us some kind of time frame for when the hotfix will be happening? Next couple of days....or next week? :neutral_face:
