Constant stutter on high end machine
ACPrime
Soul Shriven
As the title suggests I am getting constant stuttering on a fairly high-end rig. I read something about the game having terrible cpu threading issues but so far I have not been able to do anything to make it better. My specs are as follows:
AMD FX 9370 @4.4Mhz stock speed
Radeon HD 7870 OC 2GB
16GB RAM
Samsung Evo SSD
To clarify, I am getting good frames per second (around 60 on ultra, 40 in cities), the stuttering is when I start moving towards something. The screen just jerks a bit every few meters. It does not matter if I set everything to the lowest setting or ultra (although on ultra it seems a bit worse, a little).
Are the devs aware of these issues? Will they be patching performance? Is anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions out there for my specific build?

SoulScream✭✭✭✭I read a patch note about a fix for hitching on the way. I also have this and sometimes it makes me feel a little ill. The screen will be smooth when I'm moving then do those small stutters. -
Tamanous✭✭✭✭✭It is part of the last update. I get it too and have sent in a report in game. My FPS stays solid and even when above 60 fps I get hitching and the game acts like it is running at a lower fps. It in fact makes me a little motion sick at times and often limits my session time.
The game was 100% fine (I mean ESO 100% fine which is a bit a grade curve to say the least) before patch and after patch things went sideways it seems. -

Unless you have a 120hz monitor you do not want to run a 60hz monitor over 60fps that's why the use Vertical Synch to avoid issues. Some graphic cards are better with it off mind you but only if your not having any issues. So would test it with it on and off and see if there is a difference. -

Thanks for this. Mine's been hitching since the last patch. I run the game on medium graphics and end up with around 90 - 100 fps (only have 4 gig ram and the memory leak causes it to crash if I run it at higher settings). I'll try turning vertical sync on and see if that fixes it.Founder and Co-GM of The Psijic Order Guild (NA)

Yea no problem had issues with it on WOW and other games its common for sure.
This kind of explains the whole screen tearing thing and why it happens.

You didn't mention whether you were using addons or not, but that could easily be a contributing factor. I know my current minimap addon goes through and updates the map pins all at once every so often (instead of time slicing them). If I have too many pins (*cough* harvestmap *cough*) it can lead to a noticeable hiccup every so often.Achievements Suck -

✭✭✭✭✭This has been discussed before and ZOS has yet to respond. However, this is 100% an issue with poor multicore support and most of the rendering being done on a single core:
It seems to occur most often when there are many other players in your visible range/direction. Frame rate dips and one core pegs. I almost never dropped below 60 FPS before.
Here is me just standing in Reaper's March doing nothing:
Here is what my graphics card was doing at this moment. As you can see, barely even hitting 50%:

This is not 100% issue of poor multicore support that would be dead wrong. I have no problems with screen shuttering at all. If it was 100% based on this everyone would have the same issues which is not the case at all. There is many factors that effect performance and the CPU is the least of your concerns. Your network connection is the most important thing and the fact that you forward your ports or not is another huge issue. You could have a million dollar computer if your network connection sucks or setup wrong your million dollar computer will suck on every online game.

✭✭✭✭✭Perhaps, but this IS a huge problem. Many people with very high end machines are having stuttering in only this game for this reason: Terrible multi-core optimization.
I am a network engineer, among other things. Not saying that to sound elitist, but I can forward ports on an 8MB connection or play without a router or firewall at all and it doesn't matter.
I have 12MS pings to the game server.
My video card peaks at 50%.
My CPU peaks at 20%
There is only one variable remaining, and you can clearly see the problem in the screenshot. Bad optimization.
I am sure they will fix it, eventually. At least if they hope to get console certified they will. Or maybe they will just fix the console version... -
ACPrimeSoul ShrivenMake sure Vertical Sync is on also check your network settings and make sure your forwarding the ports for the game.
Vsync is on, the ports I will have to see about, but it seems to me like a CPU optimization issue. I had the same thing happen in other games with an older and slower FX CPU. This one however, should have no issues running a game like ESO. My GPU is not even at 100% (usually around 74%).This is not 100% issue of poor multicore support that would be dead wrong.

Do you work for comcast, or some other ISP that loves to misrepresent how important a "fast" internet connection (by which they invariable mean bandwidth, not ping) is for gaming? If a poor network connection is *capable* of causing stuttering/frame rate issues, then this would possibly be the most poorly programmed MMO ever. (and fwiw, in this game, you can literally pull the plug and all that will happen is you'll stop being able to interact with things (and people will just stand around))
Rubber banding? Maybe. (that or server). Stuttering/fps issues? Nope. Heck, if there was one thing I'd complain about this game in that regards it would be that it's way TOO lenient about disconnects. You can play for WAY too long past the point at which you've lost connection without it being particularly obvious, particularly if you're just travelling.

No but i am a system administrator for over a 1000 computer network. Misrepresent is not the case at all if your connection is bad or your settings are wrong it will massively slow down any computer and that's a fact if you like it or not. Even as simple as playing on a wireless connection can also cause problems. All these sort of problems can cause shuttering because your internet connection is trying to keep up. If you pull the plug you loose complete connection to the server and will get disconnected.

Could very well be GPU related there is a few users on different forums which were tweaking there AMD and NVIDA settings and they fixed there shutter problems. So the problems could also be driver related which again happens in a lot of games. -

RSram✭✭✭✭✭Since patch 1.2.5 the game has been jerky on my system. I tried playing the game at 1024 x 768 with everything turned down or off, and the game still is jerky. Its not my network connection, or I would experience the same issue with other games that I play online. The game used to run silky smooth with all of the highest setting enabled and now it doesn't.
Infact the game is now almost unplayable when I am in a group fighting large mobs; I get a frame rate of 1 FPS until the rest of the players kill the mobs.
I had my network connection tested several times and the new punch line at Comcast is to first ask the customer if they are playing ESO before they start troubleshooting the so-called network issue. It seems that even Comcast is aware that ESO has been giving them customer complaints.
My download/upload speed it 28/5 Mps at 50 ms to the ESO server according to my router logs.
As a great wise network engineer once to taught me network troubleshooting 101 said the first rule of troubleshooting is what changed?
" If it worked yesterday and it doesn't work today, what changed to make it broke? If there were no changes on your end, then the changes had to be made somewhere else."
So nothing changed on my end, so it must be somewhere else.

The internet is actually a router scheme and the algorithms that make the decisions about packets and their various destinations are not always gonna cooperate with your router.

RSram✭✭✭✭✭BTW everything that "warbladex Soul Shriven" stated is fact. I am a retired network administrator with 30 years of service, and my network consisted of 5000 nodes across the USA so I know how to optimise a system and troubleshoot network problems or I would have been fired years ago. On my system, I don't see any issues with the network connection and my router logs don't show any dropped packets or latency issues which points me back to the ESO program.
The problem with troubleshooting this issue is that not all ESO users are having framerate problems, so what is different? Maybe a poll should be taken as to how many users are experiencing this problem, and what their ESO, computer, and network configurations are?
Another user posted that maybe addons are causing this issue. I never started to use addons until after the 1.2.5 patch, so I'm going to disable all of them and see what happens. I wonder if the addons force ESO to constantly write to the hard drive as this would cause stutter.Edited by RSram on August 17, 2014 10:39PM -

Unlikely as she only started playing today and I have been playing since Friday with the same issues. Network and bandwidth have never been an issue for us in any game and we've been gaming for years now.
I really doubt network is the issue here. The symptoms just do not match.
I really think this is a CPU bottleneck as most of the indicators point that way. Devs seem to have a hard time getting to grips with AMD FX processors, and newer multi-core CPU's in general. And reading the comments in this thread it seems that last patch just F'd things up for some. I just hope the devs are aware of this issue and will fix it next patch.

I have the latest drivers. There are no reported compatibility issues with this video card and processor. I do not have speed step or any other processor/video card throttling enabled.
Look at the screen shot. 7 cores are basically unused while one is pegged at 100%.
That is 100% bad multi-core optimization.

It's easy to criticize other when you offer no solution or even conjectures. How much network and college experience do you have? Most of the posters here are (as well as me) having serious issues playing a game that we pay $15 per month to play.
Furthermore I have finished reviewing my system performance logs from eight hours of gameplay last night as here is what I found running ESO at 1024 x 768 with everything but the resolution turned to the maximum settings:
1) The number of players and activity don't affect disk access or network access even when stuttering occurs.
2) With a few exceptions, my network connection rarely went about 100 kps while playing ESO even when playing with 8 other players taking down an anchor. There were several spikes above 100 kps, but these did not occur during the stuttering.
3) Not one lost packet during the eight hours of gameplay which is remarkable!
4) Running with all addons on, the hard disk access stayed between 15 and 20 percent and occasionally went as high as 35 and 45 percent with or without stuttering occurring.
5) ESO seems to be only optimized to use one CPU, but most games currently are configured to use only one CPU.
6) Other than Windows OS subsystems, there were no other software accessing the internet and hard drive during the play session. AV software was disabled during this time.
7) I have 25 Gb's of memory and the memory stayed consistently below 3.75 Gb's during the entire 8 hours of game play. No memory read/write errors during this time.
8) Today when I disabled all the addons, the hard disk access rarely jumps above 25%, but usually stayed about 3 to 10 percent, I didn't experience any stuttering during this 30 minutes of testing. No read/write errors during this time.
So I like to see if anyone who has this stuttering issue to turn off all their addons and see if it persists. I'm going to go back to my 2560 x 1440 resolution and see if the stuttering returns.
As I stated previously, before the 1.2.5 patch I had no issues with stuttering and 1 FPS slow downs, but I wasn't using addons at that time.

RSram✭✭✭✭✭BTW, one thing I didn't consider in my testing is the load on the ESO servers. it could be that everyone that is experiencing an issue could be on the same server that is experiencing a load balancing issue. Could explain why the stuttering is intermittent because we don't always connect to the same ESO server each time we enter the game.
That has happened to me several times when I was load balancing our domain servers, and when one of them goes down, windows is supposed to switch to the active one, but this doesn't always work in practice, so some clients in several buildings get a denied access error when they access network resources.
There is no physical pattern to follow to resolve this type of problem, it is a logical configuration issue in that unless you know the network configuration of the servers and clients, you cannot easily trouble these type of problems.
ESO's server farm must be enormous if they claim they can handle 5 million clients simultaneously.
