Visual/Audio Effect Delay

mdegarispreeb18_ESO

I've noticed that a couple of my skills have a 1-2 second delay before the visual effect is triggered. Namely these are Resto Staff skills; Rapid Regeneration and Ward Ally.

When I press Rapid Regeneration or Ward Ally, I perform the animation straightaway - however, the visual and audio effects don't happen until about 1-2 seconds later. It feels very weird when using these skills now.

Anyone else getting this?

I'm getting this as well, though the audio delay is more prominent for me most times.

I think I found something. It's not a "full-fix", but it's definetly better than before. At least now, the sounds are 0.5s delayed and occurs less than before.

After 5 days of tweaking and testing the settings, I came up with something. From my experience, the sound delay thing occurs because, in a way, the engine doesn't allow multiple sounds to be played at once, so some of them are dalayed. Or they are not processed at once, At least this is how I feel, I am not expert. It's no wonder anyway since, ESO engine barely handles 2+ cores.

There are two command lines in UserSettings that I modified :
SET RequestedNumJobThreads "-1" >>> to 0
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "-1" >>> to 0

This two commands put less pressure on the engine and on your CPU, I tested on 32bit version for 15 minutes and is partially working. MUCH better than before anyway !

I will test 64bit also, I just got so excited to see it working that I came here to announce you first. Until Zenimax patches this, i'm gonna use this thing.

Hope it help ! Waiting on your feedback !
