Are they implementing a fixed version of the streamlined texture loading system in this patch?

With the last patch they implemented a more efficient texture loading system that had to be reverted due to a bug causing infinite load screens. When the system worked though, it was really a noticeable performance boost, leading to WAY less pop in textures (on xbox one x, at least). Has it been fixed? Will we see it with this patch?

    The improved texture loading won't be implemented in the upcoming update, but possibly one of the updates after Dragon Bones. We're still testing it and making sure it can be re-introduced safely.

    That is such a sad news... Might even mean my departure from eso.

    Playing on an original Xbox from Brazil with 300ms latency, performance has been abysmal since Morrowind came.

    The CWC patch was close to a miracle for me. I could finally reach top end dps parses, play vMA without lags or teleporting or delays, trials had awesome FPS, I went from one crash every 2 hours to almost 0 crashes...

    Then the patch that fixed pvp loading screens and reverted the improvements managed to make the performance even worse than previous CWC. VMA and Sanctum are on the verge of unplayability.

    I had high hopes for this next patch to reintroduce the improvements...

    Agreed. The game played beautifully, briefly. Pretty unbelievable how long it's taking them to re-implement this optimization. Too busy working on nerfs that nobody wanted I guess. ;)

    I believe you stated that the textures were removed because it introduced loading screens. I'm sure in certain circumstances that it did. The fact is that loading screen anywhere have not changed. The main, persistent complaint of loading screens was around before anything with the textures was changed. I actually thought that the improved texture loading was the fix for it.

    If you are in a party AND you invite someone to your "raid" AND when they run up they are invisible, you WILL get an infinite loading screen if you use a Forward Camp or Transitus shrine. The in game workaround is having the player run far away, and run back to reload their texture. Then people can use Transitus and Camps without loading Screens. This specific problem is where the focus needs to be, as far as loading screens go.

    When you reintroduce this, can you combine with a change to allow those of us with large amounts of memory on our graphics cards to cache far more textures? I have a 1080 Ti with 11 GB memory, and ESO only maxes out at about 3 or so (talking graphics memory here, not system memory).

    FYI, I put in a ticket about it, but you guys told me to ask nVidia to address it....................................................... I swear I'm not making this up -- I gave up after the 5th or so person told me this.
