FPS breakdown

Koensol

Hey guys,

I'd just like to share something that happened to me twice now. Yesterday was the most recent one. Just so you know I'm playing on Thornblade EU.

I'm aware of lag/crashes and other server issues that are currently in the game when lots of people are in Cyrodiil. Lately however I've had a different issue. We were sieging a keep in cyrodiil and just breached the wall. There was a *** of AD players defending the breach. We (DC) got ourselves together and rushed the breached wall in hope to get inside and quickly get up the tower onto the wall. At that moment though, AoE was being massively spammed by the defending team and tons of oil was pouring down. Basically lots and lots of spell effects and animations going on.

This is where my screen went flickering and froze for just a split second. After the freeze, my fps is totally broken down to about 1-5 fps. So I logged off to make it go away, but in the character selection screen I already noticed the stuttering was still there. After logging in this was confirmed. I had to completely reboot the game to make my fps go back to normal.

Is this a known issue, is it a server side problem, has anyone else had this happen to them lately? Please add your comments.

No....some weird crap was going on last night.

I was in gelnumbra in a zombie infested area with a chest.
The chest kept appearing and disappearing, the zombie next to it would also phase in and out of reality. I entered combat when he was invisibile. He attacked invisible..he would then appear and vanish during combat.

After combat I moved to the chest (1m away in front). If I stepped left it vanished...if I steppped right it appeared. I got screenshots too of it solid, translucent and invisible stepping left and right for the kicks (alas shadowplay was disabled).

Now I have had this phaseshift occur once before but that was something invisible appear during combat. This was on a whole new level.

It seemed to be a specific area....as though some pieces of land rather than respawning....are actually switching between phases..or the character itself is switching between phases. BUT the zombies in the distance seemed to be stable.

Something is seriously broken.

Not really the same thing, but weird nonetheless. Nobody else has had a similar issue to the one presented in the OP?

i remarked to my guildies right after the 1.4 update that something was 'off' with the graphics - that they were 'stuttering' - nothing that was really noticeable - almost like an imperceptible flickering of the screen - a few days later they brought in the hotfix patch and that's when it escalated to lag/freezes/crashes and me taking a temporary break from the game

Seen this in other games, not in ESO so far though.

Ah ok, so it's not me or my hardware/software. Good. I really how these things are priority for ZOS as it really breaks the flow of play and often leaves me calling it for the day.

The stuttering is what gets me, and non-loading avatars

It's weird, cause I havn't had any of those...

That said, i avoid playing on primetime these days since it's such a clusterf... of zerging, lag and crashing.
