vital1989

Hello,actualy for me this game looks crap without basic thinks that must be in game,so I must to upgrade my game and download some addons.but yesterday I notice,that these addons greatly effect fps,in town with addons on I had fps jumping from 39-55 with addons off in same place fps became 51-60 ( I was running same circle in blacksmith station in daggerfall town. I deleted all addons yesterday,happy with fps,not happy without basic thinks that game missing... wish they could make patch and put them in game.

Properly designed addons should not cause an FPS loss, unless they are extremely active log-heavy ones like Recount. Recount is next to useless on ESO though, because API restrictions don't allow it to see anyone's DPS except your own. I applaud ZOS for that decision.

Recount on something like WOW, in a 25 person raid, with all kinds of stuff flying around, is a huge CPU hog (because the WOW API allows it to see EVERYTHING that happens, to every player). In ESO, not so much. The only time you will get FPS loss is from poorly designed addons or those that are generating errors.

1.Craft Research Timer (show only in menus)
2.Research Assistant
3.Skyshard
4.Softcapinfo
5.TreasureMaps

these 5 addons in town reduce my fps by 10 +-

I would get around a 1-6fps hit, but it came from Wykkyd's Framework. I run the others besides craft research timer and they don't hit my fps at all. The reason those addons take a hit (Minimap aswell) is because they update like every ms.

I'm using the first two, and I don't get any FPS loss. So I would check the final 3. Try turning them off one by one until you find out which one is doing it.
