Invisible Attacks Not Firing

Truepotato

Ok, I finally got to log in in the forum [ ask a GM to create a acc here for me lol ]

Patch realease : update the game - OK

Log in the game [ 0 addons ] - dont have quest markers - dont have skill animations - I can't see that hit numbers on mobs - amazing lag - everthing looking weird.

Try everthing that you guys say here,even got some of yours user. [ thanks and sorry for that ] and nothing.

I'm trying to get some kinda of light from the gm on the support,but,so far nothing.

Before the patch? Everthing was just fine >_<

* sorry for the english

Something new to add: while the broken attacks do damage, there is considerable lag. I can't simply weave and ignore the animations (or lack thereof). Reading logs of damage done, most skills don't go through without a gap of several seconds, if at all.. Which leaves my toon light attacking here and there like a doof. Yet, this only happens on my staff/nb toon. No damage or skill delay with weaving on my stamina sorc.

i have no lag at all and can even weave light or heavy attacks between skills; im less accurate bcs i sometimes try to damage some mob thats already dead and impale is awful to use but funnels cripples and blockades do their work its the lack of skillanimations and delay in death animations and healthbars that prevents me from playing easy; i can do almost normal damage in numbers. On the other hand i do see some problems on other chars like dk fire breath of which i only see the feint glow not the flames

More things to add is that i can't see the quest markers, group markers; and some problems vanishes if i use another character...

This has been a problem for me as well, most notably with the Nightblade class ability, Strife.

• It works fine on my main gaming desktop.
• It's broken on my netbook (which I don't do combat on--it's mostly to log on for writs and stuff, so it took me a while to notice that this was an issue).
• This was not a problem prior to Update 12.
• I did a test where I logged into one account on my desktop and another account on my netbook, and I dueled my two characters. I had my netbook character attack my desktop character. From the netbook perspective, the character starts the animation for casting Strife, and then the animation halts and the character is stuck mid-pose with no indication that the ability has fired or that damage had been done. From the desktop perspective, everything looks normal. I can see my netbook character starting and completing the attack animation, and the damage does hit me. So the ability is firing, and I can see that it's firing from the perspective of the character being attacked. But the affected attacker just sees a broken animation and sees no outgoing damage.
• There is also a severe desync. I continued to cast Strife from my netbook character (while remaining permanently stuck in a mid-cast pose) and I still see no outgoing damage from the netbook character (the health bar of the target doesn't move at all) while I can see the health bar dropping on the desktop. Eventually, I kill my desktop character--my desktop shows that I'm dead, but the netbook shows the character as still being alive. I rez on the desktop, and as I am going through the rezzing animation, the netbook finally shows the desktop character as being dead. And keeps showing the character as dead indefinitely, even after waiting a long time. If I run around with my desktop character, my netbook shows the dead corpse sliding around on the ground. It's quite hilarious, actually.

Suffering from this as well, reported it back during the first PTS patch, sad to see it made it into live. This has killed pretty much all of my hype for the new patch, as I can't really do anything apart from sit around in town with 90% of my skills invisibly and health desyncs being a constant.

Both the attack visuals and the quest markers were fixed for me by doing this...

Thanks again for everyone's help yesterday! We were able to pinpoint the issue, and should have a fix in our next incremental patch.

That's great, thanks!

By the way, I haven't seen the issue quite as often since I changed my UserSettings.txt to the following:

SET RequestedNumJobThreads "-1"
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "-1"

Note, when I first did that, the game crashed on startup. I fixed that problem by decreasing the value in MaxCoresToUse. I have a ridiculous 12 core processor, and I used to have MaxCoresToUse set to 12. I decreased it to 10, and now it works great.

@ZOS_GinaBruno ty for getting on this fast. It is very frustrating. Could you tell us when to expect the next incremental patch? Hot fix would be awesome ; )

zerosingularity

I dunno if it has been mentioned in this thread yet, but this was obvious on day 1 of the PTS, so why is it just now getting looked at?

Having this issue with my magblade. So many times my wall of elements won't fire or I cannot weave light/heavy attacks without either missing 4 in a row or having them all fire simultaneously while funnel health doesn't go off.

I hope to Akatosh you manage to fix this with the patch Monday.

Lawtowns1nOnlypub18_ESO

I can confirm, adjusting these 3 things fixed it for me (I'm a Templar and none of my of my destruction/Dawn's Wrath skills were visible or registering btw):

Make sure your Usersettings.txt is not set to Read Only.
and
SET RequestedNumJobThreads "-1"
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "-1"

Thank you so much guys, you are all awesome!
