Currently in Alik'r Desert.

A side note: Alik'r has an unrelated FPS drop issue that has been there since release (not caused by the 1.2.3 patch). Most noticeable when near dead beetles in the southern part of the map. They release a green-brown cloud of poison or something when they die, and the cloud sometimes does not go away, so it starts stacking, and whe there are 20 of them on the same spot, getting your camera to look at it kills your FPS.

Also, sentinel has frequent sandstorms, which are taxing on the graphic card(lots of particles).

This has existed since release. I know what you're talking about and I see it every time I pass a character through those water hole things.

Good to hear! :-)

Nozfardu · July 2014

Fixed for me, so much better. Would be interesting to know the cause

Gravord · July 2014

How about adding 2 week time to current subs as apology for making game unplayable? (if this fix actually work it will be already 2 weeks game time lost).

frankuguzzb16_ESO · July 2014

Etharian · July 2014

We have pushed a client hotfix to the both North American and European megaservers. This hotfix will require you to log out of the game and patch before it is applied.

Update: the hotfix is completed on NA, and we are working on pushing it to the EU megaserver.

So is the fix live on the EU servers or not?
The first post made it sound like you pushed them both at the same time, the second made it sound like EU is still waiting (and was posted and hour ago).

It is on both servers now.

But you have to restart the launcher and the client.

Greetings

Ah thanks, I only just got on the PC so I had 1.2.5 to download as well so couldn't tell if I was getting the hotfix as well or not. :P

Apologies for the confusion! As @Larira said, the hotfix is now live on both megaservers. I will update the later post to clarify this.

LrdRahvin · July 2014

Not getting the fps/performance I should given my comp's specs but definitely not a slideshow anymore either. This one finally did the trick...game is playable again.

squeemu_ESO · July 2014

Problem is 100% fixed for me. Thank you!

Cyanhide · July 2014

Woah Happy comments, should print screen this lol.

Thank you Zenimax!!!!! Not only for me, but a HUGE concern for the future of ESO is now gone! (replaced with a new, regarding nerf of vet mobs)

Whatever the reason was is completely irrelevant for us. We got CYRO!

Pyranoid · July 2014

thank you! I can finally play again!

I wouldn't say the reason is completely irrelevant. I, for one, would like a little transparency regarding what's been going on the last two weeks. However, it IS nice that it seems to be mostly fixed now.

daemonios · July 2014

I confirm that *for me* the fps issue in Cyrodiil appears to be fixed or greatly improved. I now have 40-60 fps outside combat, going to about 20-30 fps during the most intense sieges, which go back up to normal after combat ends. While not perfect, it's now playable, unlike the 3-5 fps I was experiencing before the hotfix.

I can't say I'm impressed with ZOS' handling of this matter - it took weeks, after all - but in any case, thank you for finally fixing this.

Forztr · July 2014

Spent 30mins in Auriels Bow EU trying to break my fps and couldn't, so I think you may have actually fixed it this time.

Ironically the fix shows up on the day my sub expires.

sevcik.miroslaveb17_ESO · July 2014

Nice I have less than a day of sub left. If I get home and it will expire before I download the patch and test cyrodiil I will be mad, because I am not going to resub without trying it myself. If I run out of time I will ask customer support to give me one day of free time. It would be fair I think. One free day vs possible resub should be easy trade:-)

Pyranoid · July 2014

after a bit testing i can say:
game is playable again, but the issue is not fixed in PVE for me, fps still dropping to 5-10 randomly. Mobs are visible, attacks etc are working

Morvul · July 2014

for me, todays patch was a very noticable improvement.
That said, gameperformace is still worse then it was prior to the 1.2.3 patch

Maulkin · July 2014

Just to mention guys, since the lighting changes in 1.2.3 the game will be more demanding graphics-wise than before 1.2.3, therefore slower for older rigs when running in ultra/high settings. This, to an extent, is normal.

I think if you can get a minimum 30 FPS during heavy combat with your settings on medium, that's a very playable game. That's my take on it anyway.

Can someone with good technical skills in graphic technology, support for different graphic card "features" for lack of a better word and knows the connection to what a graphic card can support, has to do with their MMO graphics.

My short version, but I lack the high base technical skill to explain it with.

Lightning effects was "turned on" since the support for most card had them in the newest drivers. I even got BETTER FPS with the "lightning" patch.

Entitled gamers. No respect for the hard work they do. They should just shut the forums down entirely.

This is true, but the problem was that the lag and rendering problems were there even on low so there was something that triggered a nasty client bug when certain conditions were met.

Coincidentally, I played with inifile etc. while the problem was there and this is pure conjencture, but before todays hotfix launcher always forced fx caching off. Now the launcher leaves fx caching setting enabled, instead of forcing it to be disabled.

Anisto · July 2014

improved, maybe, fixed, no. still dropping from 50-60 to 9-12. not good enough to renew sub tomorrow....

Right...that's an extra-"special" good idea. As everyone knows successful companies not only don't communicate with their customers...they actively antagonize them and reduce value on their products...

Where do you people come from?

Inzababa · July 2014

thanks, better late than never, but if its fixed, I'm looking forward to pvping again
