Is there still anyone here with me hoping to see a fix, finally, with next week patch? Or is this thread going to be removed from sticky ones without seeing the requested toggle added to the game options?

I still check back too, I mostly gave up hope, sure sucks after putting in 1k plus hours.

It's time to make this a toggle zos, lots of people don't see any improvement to the inventory, opening writ boxes and using the champion points screen are instant migraines.

So sad to see a great game ruined by eco nonsense.

Sadly I still experience quite bad strobing with VRR during loading screens, but the menu seems more manageable (not 100% there yet).

At least I can say that HDR has improved the aspect of the game, yes on console - we already had it but now it seems to be working way better!

Also: good job with the new menu sounds! It kinda gives nostalgia.

Yeah, this has been an issue with me lately. Equilibrium just feels off.

Sad that this game is still in the state that it is. I assume they’ve shifted resources and/ or staff to their upcoming MMO project. Regardless, I’ve found a very similar game to which to devote my free time. I won’t say what it is, as I’m sure that’s against the rules here. That said, it’s a new release with very similar action based systems. Also, ESO, is looking very, very dated at this point so it’s almost unimaginable that they would do anything to exacerbate this flaw. But here we are.

My post yesterday was closed and diverted to here.

There is a new concern after the last patch. While trying to scroll through the sticker book to view the new Cyrodiil PvP gear that was added, the 30 fps in the UI menus is not even reaching that number and trying to view the page while scrolling causes headaches because it is so much more jittery than before. I have never had issues with migraines while playing video games before like some others have stated, but it was debilitating for me. It took several minutes to recover.

Please revert all “sustainability” features while we are actively playing the game. If you want to lower the resolution for the 3 minutes I go afk to the bathroom it is not a big deal, though it is still a useless feel-good measure that actually accomplishes nothing. I wonder if the continuous switching from 30 fps to 60 is causing more lag and other problems.

On PS5, is anyone else noticing that menus are a little jumpy when you open them? I’ve noticed since U44, the text especially just gets blurry and shaky when first opened. I wonder if it’s related to these changes and any related changes and tweaks.

I shop a lot less at guild traders because of this "feature". Every time i close the menu and move to the next guild trader, my screen freezes and my eyes tell my stomach to get sick.

Same here. I wasted 6 month of eso plus and bought the expansion like an idiot just to have this implemented making it unplayable for me...

It is December,
Still, no news on this issue,
All hope is now lost.

Nothing will change.

Any chance someone fixing the server could flip a switch to turn off the forced environmental features that ruin some of our game experience?

I'm guessing we are a minority, but it truly is baffling that zos cares nothing for those who are now unable to play this game.

I actually love eso, but now it is impossible to play, and has been for like 6 months.

Once again stating clearly that I want to play, but looking at inventory and champion screens especially give me a migraine and make me vomit, in that order.

Even if only 1000 of us were negatively affected by this decision, that's a thousand less people who love your game.

Don't count on it.

The current issue wouldn't make it possible or plausible for changing something inside the game.

And even after months of updates the Sustainability Features won't get removed. What can happen is that they will try shaping it so it bothers players less, like what they have already done.

Map is now normal again at 60fps. ✔️

Menu is still capped. ❌

Pressing enter to open chat will lower fps to 30. ❌

Being AFK will lower screen resolution and fps. ❌

Oh, look. Most of the problems are still there. Well, they really want to keep them. Companies need to have a good image out there, and Microsoft is going heavy on Sustainability, but that is "trashing" the game while they yell "don't throw trash around".

Hello Developers,

Last time there was an emergency maintenance issue that took about a day to fix I missed out on the end of the month Daily Check-In Rewards because it locked out the last day of the month. Moreover, I missed out on my daily endeavors. Most days, I only log infor the daily check in reward and the daily endeavors because I wait until my scheduled days off to play the actual zone, PVP content or DLC stories or work on achievements. So my question is this: in addition to plying us with gifts for being denied play on a game many of us pay a subscription fee to play (which you truly ought to do) are you going to also credit us for 2 days worth of daily check in rewards and daily endeavor points? I can't make up for what you failed to allow me to achieve. I pay for ESO Plus, and I buy the annual DLCs. I deserve to not be denied because your system went down. My PSN name is Fox_N_Vixen. I check in every day. I want what's due me for my money and my commitment.

This thread is about the console sustainability features, it kind of looks like you are having different issues, I would post a new topic instead, this isn't the right place.

I want to add to my complaints about lowering the frame rate while playing to (supposedly) 30 fps in UI menu. It looks more like 15-20 fps as well.

Also, if I preview something in the Crown store like a mount, I see this ridiculously low frame rate when my hardware is supposed to be guaranteed 60 fps. It definitely makes me not want to buy anything.

It also makes you not want to buy a console anymore... On PC more control over YOUR stuff is guaranteed, at least for now... Who knows.
