FPS Bug still not Fixed: Edited After Patch 1.2.5

Tintinabula · July 2014

I will say my BF tried something he read in zone chat?..or somewhere.."turn off your music."He said that turning off his music brought his FPS up "slightly"...At first it did mine too.

Kira_Night · July 2014

I guess if you can see that improved lights with minimal graphics settings? Because a lot of players are setting their graphics to minimum to improve slightly their FPS!

You are sooo lucky to have double numbered FPS in fights! What is your secret?

I made a pact with Molag Bal.

While everyone is waiting for the FPS drop fix, let's remember how fun was it to play 1.2.2 version. Enjoy!

This really must be a PvP thing. After the little patch yesterday I played almost 8 hours without a problem. No freezes, unknown errors, etc. Haven't had that happen in almost a month.

To a degree yes. In PvE, game behaves mostly OK for me (I'd even dare to speak of some signs of improvement in loading objects etc.). On Cyrodiil, when I am alone, still OK, when I join group, still OK, but the moment we approach, say, lumbermill, delays in animations kick in, FPS go down and abilities stuck. Best thing is, the moment last opposing guard/player falls, animations not displayed up untill that point suddenly show up, abilities unstuck and sometimes even FPS recover (sometimes not and stay at utter bottom even when nobody is around, nothing is going on and I stare into the ground).
If there is some governor queueing objects and effects for display, it is broken.

In Soviet Tamriel bugs "fix" you

Dalriaden · July 2014

Might have been said already but if you're getting fps drops turning all sound off helps.

Not.

Ragequited and not coming back. Thanks for everything, zos, i hope they made a special place in hell just for you

BugCollector · July 2014

It's astonishing that this will probably have to wait until monday again for the fix!

My pvp buddy may just quit the game because of that. And if he's gone, I'm gone too!

It's not looking good at this point. I'm scared to see what the server pops will look like a month from now.

Dalriaden · July 2014

@BugCollector The turning off sound was an improvement for everyone in my pvp guild. Can still get drops but I went from dropping to 0.5 fps and having to relog to a low of 5 and then it bouncing back up to normal after large fights.

HiP · July 2014

every time there is mass aoe involved, the fps drops. by mass aoe, i mean the aoe that are not limited to 6 targets.
so, every siege weapon (oil included), all aliance war skills and ultimates in the assault and support trees and maybe the nightblade path of darkness.

might just be only me, though

That`s pretty much my observation as well, also getting in visual range of keeps (even empty ones) seems to hit my fps noticably.

Perphection · July 2014

Turning sound off helped me quite a bit as well. Took my GPU from 7% usage to 54% usage. I'm still dropping frames in large fights, but it's not as bad as it was.

(It was getting as bad as a solid 4 fps with 700 series geforce)

Although by the looks of the fps (26 max?) in those videos 1.2.2 was still crap. So we are w8ing for the game to go back from unplayable to barely playable.....jeez

ferzalrwb17_ESO · July 2014

We went out for a run, my friend and I, in PVP and tested this rubbish tonight. We avoided keeps and zergs at all costs. We couldn't avoid the lag completely and had many run-ins with it but only 2 relogs each and one crash (for him).

The thing we noticed apart from FPS getting stuck low (17 for him and 29 for me when it gets stucka and then sickening visuals and input response) is that the quality simply does not match the reported FPS. It's like the game is rendering a slideshow and outputting it at higher fps. What we saw at times was clearly 5-10 FPS max but reported figures of 20-50.

We also noticed this in PvE when fighting Wispmothers temporarily (as has been reported). Memory explains a lot but not everything. Something has changed in the way things are processed. There is a topic on Pinnacle forums (a controller emulator to allow joypad use with games including this one) that indicates noticeable graphic "jerkiness" in the latest patch at all times when using the controller. This is new to this patch. Whilst this isn't supported (I often play with a controller for PvE on the lazy couch) and I don't expect it to be it is worth noting.

Xpadder does actually suffer also but not as bad. Again, regardless of lack of support, there could be something to be gleaned from that.

I hope ZOS have found answers that can explain the things we've seen. If not then Monday's fix won't work.

im using minimum graphics settings and sound is off. getting 2.3 fps. had 20-30 before 1.2.3

Rylana · July 2014

Yeah the whole sound thing doesnt do squat.

Tintinabula · July 2014

4th of july weekend..great opportunity to check out other games that play.

Morticielle · July 2014

Today has brought a new record: 2,5 fps during a keep siege. In the same situation before patch 1.2.3 the fps wouldn't be less than 15.

Folks, I love PvP in this game, Cyrodiil is the most beautiful PvP area ever, but those fps drops totally take the fun out of it. It's like having a Ferrari 458 and the engine is running only on one cylinder. I will watch what FailiMax is doing the next two weeks and if the situation is not like it was before 1.2.3 I will cancel my subscription. And if I cancel a subscription because I am frustrated by bugs (AoC), strange concepts (AION), low performance (Warhammer Online) or legions of bots (AION) I usually be gone for good.

You did what?! You insulted the Holy ZeniMax, you blasphemed our mighty god! Heretic! Now bow down, confess your sins and pray for the mercy of the Holy ZENIMAX! Be ready to be cleansed in the fires of flaming fanboys!

I liked the part where you guys used impulse together.

How did you do it?

DemonNinja · July 2014

Honestly all ZOS needs to do is get rid of the graphics engine update they made for the light and would bet money that it would fix the issue.

Sigh. And that has anything to do with lag...how?

As mentioned earlier, we absolutely will push a fix sooner if it is at all possible.

Compensation really is in order. I'm amazed you haven't already offered it, tbh.

This is the most broken I've ever seen this game... and it's lasted almost 2 weeks.

It may even save you some subs.
