    Greetings Maiqs,

    We have a few solutions for you. Additionally, you can find this information in Jason's Article:

    forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/61626/please-read-first-known-technical-issues-pc#latesthttp://

    1.) Check your Graphics Drivers. Make sure they are updated.

    2.) Make sure UserSettings.txt is in good condition, and in the proper location.

    This is not a guaranteed fix, but we have seen it alleviate this bug for multiple posters on the forums.
    Please go to your "My Documents/The Elder Scrolls Online" folder and open the folder in there called "Live."
    Check to see if there is a file called "UserSettings.txt" in there.
    If there is a file called "UserSettings.txt" do the below.
    Open the file "UserSettings.txt" in Notepad, and delete all the content in it.
    Copy and paste the text quoted at the bottom of this post.
    Save and close the file.
    Restart your launcher.

    If there is NOT a file called "UserSettings.txt, do the following:
    Open the Notepad program and paste in the text quoted the "spoiler"
    Save the file as "UserSettings.txt" in your My Documents/The Elder Scrolls Online folder.
    Restart your launcher.
