On PTS with Build 1.31 my FPS doubled. Before the patch with graphics set Medium I had < 12 FPS.

After Patch 1.31 in Craglorn (PvE) frame rate on High was ~ 25 FPS; on Medium > 30 FPS. Still not optimal but a definite improvement.

Maybe when 1.31 goes live we will see better FPS.

I still want to know why this was unstickied without some formal post.

Loco_Mofo

Same reason they unstickied the NB feedback thread.

Problem was too difficult to solve. Maybe they'll come back to it in a few months time or hope people just accept it with time and carry on.

What other conclusion can we come to? The problem wasn't resolved and we have no word from ZoS.

Mortalio

They cannot solve it so they buries it. They do not want new players to know there is a gamebreaking bugg due to their own clumsines.

The disrespect of players who don't have lag issues (here&in game) is amazing. I was in a pvp guild and with the Templar-love patch there came incredible lag issues, which I never had before. I'd to quit/pause PvP since than. My guild mates got aggressive on me because I stayed away from PvP since than. And, since than, the disrespect in game from people without crashes still is there. No compassion, no empathy. Players seem not to believe other players, despite that they are going through the worst issues in PvP since launch of the game. And this problems have now been up for weeks / months.

1.2.6 has made mine worse.

This! For whatever reason it seems that fps got worse again with one of the latest patches. Not even going to talk about the horrid lag (auriel's bow, eu). It's a shame really.

Whatever, seems to be happening what some people already feared a few weeks ago -> out of sight, out of mind.

Loco_Mofo

Oh well, cements my unsub decision.

Poor patching, poor communication and zero support.

Game client is not starting for me after the hotfix. I see Bethesda.net_Launcher.exe in the task manager with a slowly increasing amount of memory used. It has been working for 15+ minutes. Anyone experiencing something similar?

My Launcher will eventually crash my computer if I leave it up for hours. It increases in memory used by 12 to 24 kb every second until it's in the millions. Execution time it uses around 90,000-95,000 kb and within hours (3-5 hours) it's at 5 to 6 *million* and eventually just crashes everything (8 - 10 hours).

So if this leak is not going to be fixed can you please just kill the launcher after hitting [Play]?

Also it uses 3-5% CPU usage, always. How about have it not use any CPU time? It *shouldn't* be doing anything until I interact with it (or start it).

You may have the launcher set to start on boot.
Start up the Launcher.
Go to the Launcher settings by clicking the cog wheel in the upper right hand corner of the launcher.
Then, uncheck the box for "Start on Bootup".

Hope this helps,

You have no idea what you are talking about. Your post offers nothing with the issues people are experiencing. What you suggest is CPU maintenance 101.

I'm guessing you believe that your post provides information that people can work with? What a load of poppy-***!

I completely disagree with you .. Cogo supplied some real support that will help some people and I hope *your* advice is ignored as it deserves to be.
Cogo = big thumbs up
Kulthax = huge thumbs down

Btw .. it's not "CPU maintenance" as you put it that he's describing. He's talking about PC environmental optimizations .. or .. how to optimize your PC so that it runs the best it can. That is *always* good advice and his advice talks to the PC lay-person.

Your input on the other hand is *rubbish*, vague and not helpful.

Sorry but I think you are out of line with Cogo and disagree greatly with your blanket rejection. He makes no guarantee and PC hardware varies widely. He isn't claiming any hardware or client game solution over the more likely culprit--ZOS's game code itself.

I am not out of line. This is a FPS thread not how to maintain your PC thread. Most what he blathered on about has nothing to do with the current issue. So why don't you two go hold hands over there somewhere and let those of us trying to figure out this issue do so. K. THX.

You are out of line .. and just showed the world how misguided and deluded you are. The first place you should be looking when you experience problems running software is PC optimization.

When people have optimized PC's and they know how to perform general maintenance generally they have a better experience.

To everyone else, maintaining your PC as Cogo suggested is good solid advice folks. It won't necessarily fix your ESO issues .. no one can promise that, but it is one place where you have control and can improve your overall PC experience; so it's better to know how to do this maintenance than not. It's just one more of those check-boxes you can say you've ticked on the quest for a great gaming experience.

Had a few hours of fun in Cyro tonight. Full battles. 50-100 people easy.
Pick up groups in Cyro really works. Someone takes charge and the rest follow.
No lag for me.

We at ZOS are constantly looking at ways to enhance security for The Elder Scrolls Online, especially when it comes to combating bots, cheaters, and spammers. We do so in an effort to maintain as fair and high quality a gameplay experience as possible for our players. In a recent round of client security enhancements, we made a change that interacted with some of the client’s gameplay systems in a way we didn’t anticipate. Specifically, this had to do with resource contention (when two or more threads of execution are trying to simultaneously access the same data) that could occur when performing certain security checks from multiple threads at the same time. Certain high-load combat scenarios are where you were most likely to encounter the issue.

Today’s hotfix included performance enhancements to these security measures that made improvements in average frames-per-second as well as frame-time stability. We will continue to monitor how these and other security enhancements effect performance, and will continue to make improvements.

Thanks for your patience and support as we work toward making The Elder Scroll Online the best game it can be!

Jessica, any idea when the fps issue caused by the client security enhancements mentioned above will be fixed? You've been monitoring it for 3 years now...

hmm, so there is FPS problems in ESO since 2014
that makes it our fault that we still play ESO since we wont have FPS drops if we don't play ESO in first place

This is the only solution, apparently.

The best part is that this 2014 patch destroyed performance and the game is still overrun with bots and cheaters/exploiters.

Lol at people wanting to know the cause.

Do you REALLY need (or have) to know that on line 10,567,456 there was an ill placed comma?

It hurts nothing to ask, or to know.

If it's that innane, it wont hurt to learn it.

Ulfgarde

Fans keep asking for necromancers in the game. It's probably one of the most popular suggestion for the game. But, heres the thing, we already have them; just look at the forums! People are always bringing back dead posts there.

WildWilbur

Ok, I killed this necro. Where's the loot?? PLZ ZOS investigate...

Game is a train. If we have more weight, what do you thing's, faster?
