ZOS_GinaBruno

The Elder Scrolls Online v5.2.6 includes several fixes for quests in Southern Elsweyr, including some not being able to advance The Dragonguard questline. Also included are combat fixes, including some cost reduction Champion Point abilities being additive instead of multiplicative, and a number of Battleground fixes including matches not shutting down after 5 minutes, and solo players with high MMR not being matched up correctly.

We’ve also implemented some adjustments to help with long load screens, disconnects from the game, or rollbacks during high load scenarios. The size of this patch is approximately 275MB.

General

• Fixed multiple issues where Champion Point abilities that dealt with cost reduction were additive instead of multiplicative.

Battlegrounds

• Fixed an issue where Battlegrounds would not shut down properly after 5 minutes if the minimum number of players wasn’t met.
• Fixed an issue where Battlegrounds would not correctly match solo players with high MMR differences. It still prioritizes waiting for new players to queue so to make a more competitive game, but eventually will now create a game when 12 people are available.

General

• Added persistent visual effects to the Sanguivorian Howler (found in the New Moon Crate) when running, as well as an added effect trail when rearing up.

General

• Implemented some adjustments to help with the issue where you could run into long load screens, disconnects from the game, or rollbacks during high load scenarios.
• Fixed an issue where it would appear as though other players were “flying” in a straight line. Note they were not actually flying, they just believed they could fly. They believed they could touch the sky.

Activity Finder

• Fixed several issues where attempting to modify a group in multiple ways (kicking, leaving, inviting, etc.) would not display a proper error message. 

Addons

• SecurePostHook will now be able to hook functions referenced through metatables.
