Thanks for making the game worse every time you do something.

Now instead of crashing twice an hour I crash 3 times in 20 minutes... This game is getting worse and worse, which is a shame considering the potential it has.

SirenofEntropy

I haven't crashed at all since they fixed the memory leak. But then again I also don't play in Cyrodiil. Are you SURE it' s not a problem on your end? Crashing 3 times in 20 minutes is certainly abnormal and I don't know anybody that has the problem that severely.

Really? I gained an extra 3 frames Per second after last patch. Have you wrote them with your problems?

I play cyrodil now for hours maintaining decent fps and no crashes - I don't think it's eso's fault in this case

DogFaceInBananaPatch

I have never crashed in this game through three Updates now other then a couple times Alt-Tabbing too fast. I think I confused it. Now, in game bugs I have a ton of...and particle effects like to start my GPU on fire (almost literally lol).

Here. How about zos stop the game? No more bugs introduced.

I'm hitting the same issue. Game's been incredibly stable for me since launch...maybe two crashes? Then since the last patch, we're talking 3-4 crashes an hour. No Cyrodiil play; this is all purely while mucking about Auridon.

You're welcome!

Would making more room on your hard drives help?

Same issue for me as well. I can be standing open field and simply turn around and crash. I get huge lag spikes where for 30 seconds I'm just running through all the statue people in Cyro. I get bugged a lot after crashes too. Can't get out of doors, can't port via shrines. Another thing I noticed, my armor set after each crash doesn't act like all the pieces are equipped. I have to re-equip a piece each time to get the 5 piece bonus. Hope they fix this soon.

Have you tried doing a repair scan of the game?
Have you tried turning all the addons off?
Have you run the Game Consultant and contacted thier support with the log attached?

The worst I got were some issues with sound not working in beta (propably because I copied the client from a friend) and the Artdata error shortly after 1.2.3, but after a repair scan that stopped appearing.

Just from the low percentage of player experiecing the issues, I am going to throw out a guess: It's on your end. They are not responsible for solving problems on your end, but if you given them your configuration they will at least try to solve it/give clearer error messages.

Have you tried running it in OpenGL instead of DirectX? I used to randomly crash and could not restart the game again unless I rebooted my PC. After switching to OpenGL, no more crashes.

You can select the render used via the usersettings.txt in the Documents folder.
Alternatively oyu can use Eso Toolbox addon to change those settings (restart of client required as usual):

You can also try posting details of your problem together with full system specs on the appropriate Support forum (PC or Mac), rather than making a vague complaint on the General Discussion forum. There's some good advice here, but you'll get even more on Support.

Sometimes certain combinations of GPU, OS, and CPU just cause weird instability issues in this game. There's not much Zenimax can do about that.. yes, they can tweak optimization on their end, but they can't account for every single computer configuration that some people might be using.

When I first started playing, I used to have problems with the game freezing (not client crashing, just solid freeze, presumably because the graphics driver was crashing). I was able to solve it on my end by changing my user settings to run DX9 instead of DX11. There's a problem with some Nvidia card/driver combinations where they just won't run ESO in DX11 regardless of how new the card is.

I've experienced a few crashes since the latest 'fix', but not to the same degree as OP, and mostly in town.

Oddest bug I've seen so far has been 'hide helm' toggling off when I weapon swap right after leaving the dye station. Weeeeird.

Thought that was by design.

cyqa

What sort of fixes have you tried on your end? Are you absolutely certain it's the game and not your set up? I had the same problem as the poster above with DirectX 11.. I had to reconfigure it to DirectX 9. Before I did that, my game was crashing left, right, and centre.

Or driver.

I'm not a fan of upgrading drivers unless there's a problem with the existing one or the new one offers a specific benefit and no problems are reported with it on the manufacturer's forum. My Nvidia driver is 2 years old and so far, without wishing to tempt fate, the game has run flawlessly. I often think there's an advantage in running a game with drivers that were in use when the game was being developed.

I played for about 4 hours straight last night. Never crashed once.

Mine is always the latest one. I've crashed maybe 3 times since the game came out.

My machine is nearly flawless though. I built it and stuffed the OSs in. I do not use crap parts and my only real weakness is windose, but I'm used to that POS.

Fixed.

installed OpenGL earlier...had one minor crash and its been flawless since. No more 6-10 crashes in a night...no giant lag spikes in mass pvp. THANK YOU for the advice ^_^
