FPS Bug still not Fixed: Edited After Patch 1.2.5

Even after patch 1.2.4 the FPS drop still remains (I play in Wabbajack, but my guest campaign still has FPS drops) It's gotten better but many people in the chat (myself included) are still experiencing sudden and lasting FPS drops in big zergs (FPS doesn't go back to normal until you relog, even if you're not near a battle). Not sure why Zenimax thought two healing spells were causing people to drop from 30 FPS to 5-8. Anyone else still having this issue?

EDIT: After today's patch 1.2.5 on 7/7 the FPS bug isn't completely fixed. Still getting 12 FPS or so in big battles and it continues to linger on until I log out, though it's not as bad anymore. The game can atleast be classified as playable now; it still isn't fixed but atleast Zenimax is trying. 3 patches later... @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ @ZOS_GinaBruno‌

    Yeah, because Restro Staffs was never the problem, problem is that the GPU is going into idle Mode.

    If i got hit by 4fps in Cyrodiil, my GPU is at 38°C, normal is 70°C wile playing ESO

    They should just rollback on that 'lightning' patch. As this improved 'lightning' is most likely to be root of all those problems. No one cares if the rocks glow/shine.

    I think the lighting looks really nice. I seriously doubt the lighting is whats causing the issue but if it were I'd definitely say toss it out though.

    Nope, I have lighting shut off and it still affects me.

    its a memory leak into the gfx card. once your video ram is filled it never empties/refreshes and your CPU takes over processing/rendering. Eventually the load becomes so heavy that even your CPU cant keep up along with processing other game data.

    its a "forced bottleneck" caused by the game not clearing the video ram periodically (which explains why map changes alleviate the FPS problem, as do client restarts). Basically your video card is locked into processing effects that have long since left the play environment. Imagine writing on a blackboard and never erasing it, even as you start writing other things. Eventually you run out of black space.

    The problem starts to surface gradually (or in cases of intense fighting can actually appear much quicker). Once it starts, it never stops until that RAM is cleared via a transition or client restart.

    Fix it, ZOS. Stop playing around. Add a line of code that orders the video ram to refresh every 20 seconds when under >50% VRAM useage conditions. Forced reprocess in this situation should be no different than jumping on a horse and running over a server boundary in other games. The client would be fine calling objects back into memory, since it already does that just fine, it just never releases them.

    I still wonder if it isn't a skill that is doing it. I can fight against two different but equal sized raids and get opposite results. One raid it gives me the lag, the other raid does not. But in all cases it only starts when an enemy raid is present.

    Confirmed. Single digit fps when near a zerg still happening since patch 1.2.3. Porting back to another area maintains the fps loss. CPU usage is stupid high during these times.

    Do Zenimax have a QA department? Did they not test it?

    Its too bad that Brian Wheelers pvp vision is ruined by terribad coders and poor servers. The PVP in this game is really fun when it works...which I haven't seen since a beta weekend.
    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

    No change at all for me, still drops to 4 fps and will not increase until I re log.
    Think what annoys me most his how zenimax put in the patch notes that fps issues in PvP is fixed! Do they not actually do any internal testing prior to stating a patch adresses an issue in which it does not

    I think it might be marginally better, but still unplayable as soon as I get around a fight of more than a few folks. I have the lowest of settings with everything turned off, but as soon as I get into a fight I get to a slide show FPS rate and it wont go away until I shut down the game

    Yay for waiting a week for a patch that didn't fix it and knowing ZOS no new fix until next week.

    I saw a dramatic improvement in frame rate in RvR when I switched from fullscreen to windowed (fullscreen). The correlation could be coincidence, but perhaps worth a shot.

    Well they just closed one of the other threads with this:
    The latest patch has addressed skill-related FPS issues in Cyrodiil. Please have a read here for detailed patch notes.
    So they seem to think they've fixed the FPS issue (on the NA servers anyway).

    Now not only is FPs still as bad but NPCs are no longer appearing..resource flags not appearing..enemies not appearing in fights..I got hit with soul assault and didn't even see that I was getting hit with it. Game play is atrocious.

    Time to dig up the old build that worked.

    I predict this will be one of those bugs that Zenimax 'fixes' several times, while it remains unfixed. The affected players will subsequently leave the game and the problem will have 'fixed' itself.
