Update 6 Issue Compilation Thread

ShadowHvo

Killer's Blade (The stamina morph from Assassin's Blade) deals magicka damage instead of Physical damage, which means that it even deals less damage than other stamina based abilities, like surprise attack, even as an execute =/

Well, this isn't an important issue, and certainly not game-breaking or anything, but I did notice when logging in to my characters that my dunmer characters have an odd change to their appearance. I have a male sorc and a female nightblade. In both cases, their skin has taken on a rather shiny appearance. It's almost like their skin has suddenly turned reflective, like it was armour (incidentally, the medium armour of my nightblade is also rather reflective, like it was made of metal). In the case of my female character, her hair colour has changed since the patch. Before, it was black; now, it's a medium grey. The male character's hair colour hasn't changed, though it was white, so there may have been a colour change and I simply can't tell.

It's only on my dunmer characters, though. My nord, redguard, and bosmer characters all seem to be unchanged. Is this happening to anyone else, or is this just me?

Constant crashes when using wayshrines.

Teleported high in the sky above wayshrines.

Empowered ward + Restoring Twilight - Shield showing under the pet, not on it. Visual bug

Gloves of Martial knowledge - Only two parts currently recoloring even though it is clear all three should 9like in all the other pieces of the set).

Unstable Familiar - Only the Clannfear offers the heal bonus, not the other morph or the base ability. Not sure if this is a bug or if you said it wrong on the patch notes.

Storm Atro - Not providing the sorcerer caster with Major Berserk. According to the tool tip it only gives the buff to the one activating the synergy and to the Atro it self.

Constantly getting messages on the top right side of my screen saying "Gear x was repaired" even though I am not even near a vendor to repair things. Annoying bug.

Rubber banding... Lots of Rubber banding.

Agree with those saying Gold mats are not dropping more then usual!!!! I had about 4000 raw mats and only got about 12 gold mats from all of that. If you are going to nerf Hirelling to the point having them is a waste, please give us another source for gold improvement mats.

Entropy now grants you the Major Sorcery buff for 20 seconds when cast. - Nope... Nope it doesn't. 14.4 seconds with all the mage's guild passives. Lots of mistakes on that patch note of yours heh?

I remember reading that the issue where player alliance rank icons were not the appropriate color for their faction that this was a bug. I see in game icons for known EP members are this off white color instead of red. Is this still unintended or do you only see alliance colors in Cyro now?

I checked and the icon colors are still wrong. Pact players do not have red rank icons under their names, instead it's a kind of weird creme color. I remember a mod stating this was a bug in PTS forum.

Yesterday played on my lowbie level 15 DK, did all 3 group dungeons , no lag, no crashes- everything smooth. Today, tried Vet DC dungeon- terrible lag and crash after crash. Seemed to me that, I was the only one who had issues in the group. Anyone else had problems in VET dungeons?

There are no alliance indicators above enemy players in Cyrodiil, making pvp very difficult to do.

Yeah my game is using up a lot more memory now too. I've crashed several times once it gets to 3,000-3,500MB usage.

- The friends online symbol and count is always visible. Even after the chat faded out. I hope this is a bug.
- Sometimes the chat does not fade out.
- Sporadic repair-messages.
- Disconnect because of spamming the chat. But I didn't.
- Sometimes I run fast without holding shift. Mounted and unmounted.

Vampire appearance don't change with stages until you zone.

Crashes when using wayshrines.

... memory leak again maybe?

Freezes, lower FPS than usual.

The Dragon Knight passive Mountain's Blessing is bugged, it does not give me ultimate.

Cannot see group member indicators and cannot see enemy indicaters and health bars. Turned off all my addons and repaired the launcher multiple times, this is redicilous that we're still paying for this ***.

Error 209 patch manifest error...

I dunno why Im still bothering with this game.

Starting a new character line on the NA server, I see the one thing still missing when you start a new game: no subtitles on what's being said in the introduction movie. Hearing impaired people will thank you if you add subtitles here.

@Ageless To turn subtitles on click on the gear for the chat screen, click on options and then check (I think it's NPCs). Their talk will then appear in the chat window.

Over 5 hours, and across 8 characters last night I managed to get one lock up. This was outside Shornhelm, were I was respecing my main. I was suddenly unable to to apply points, swap weapons, or attack. The game stalled when I tried log out. And my screen went black when I tried to bring up my desktop. I was able to hit ctrl+alt+del and close the program in the task manager.

I was also noticing the item repaired text randomly happening on a few characters.

This isn't a bug so much as a game play issue, but they reason I was outside Shornhelm is because that's where I ran to escape the guards. (I don't know if this contributed to the problem, but I was letting my heat die down before the lock up happened.) I was testing how many Breaths of Life I could cast in a row with the new magicka pool when someone started a fight near me. Next thing I knew I had a bounty and was "kill on sight". This had been brought early on, but I was never able to reliably reproduce it on the PTS. In any case, hope something can be done about it so a stray spell doesn't get a healer kiled. Maybe a small fine or something first.

Friends icon does not fade away when chat box fades. So the friends icon just floats there on the left side of the screen at all times.

Concealed Weapon does not modify hidden movement speed consistently. It varies depending on whether it was in the active bar when I crouch, being further modified upon swapping the ability on or off (via the active bar.)

Ticket 150304-001355

===================================
Just realized I was wearing 5 Night's Silence on the set with the shock enchantment. I get even more varying results depending on which set (or both) has or doesn't have Concealed Weapon and/or Night's Silence active when crouching.

This was not the case pre-1.6. It seems these modifiers are now applied on a first come first serve basis rather than having a prioritization system in effect or working off a base stat.

Those floating mail, friends and notics icons are annoying. I can make the mail one go away by reading mail and the notice one by deleting the notices, but not the friends one.

WebBull

- Lag in Cyrodiil was unbearable (Thorn) and alliances were not even pop locked. Everyone seemed to be experiencing it.
- Weapon Swap from 2 to 1 uses stamina (7%) but 1 to 2 does not use any stamina. Swapping should not use stamina.
- Horses are wonked (slow stop for no reason).
- Lost Skill points. Had over 200 and now only 189 (sorry I don't have a prior screen shot or know exact amount).

Logged in for the second time this evening and once again the game hung whilst I was in the skill screen. This time I'd been logged in for only about 20 mins and system memory usage was at 28%.

For me that makes the game unplayable.

For all of you using CTRL-ALT-DEL in-game to handle freezes and lock-ups:

(1) Before you launch the game, use CTRL-SHIFT-ESC. This will bring up the Task Manager. It's an escape sequence and can't be trapped (useful if you ever get one of those viruses/pieces of Malware that trap CTRL-ALT-DEL). It saves you a step, too, since you don't have to go through the intermediate operating system screen.

(2) When you launch the game, go to the Processes tab on the Task Manager. When the eso.exe process initiates, right-click on it and set the priority of the process to High. This will eliminate almost all resource contention for the game. Then go back to the Applications tab, select the ESO task, and press the "Switch to" button to set focus to the game.

(3) Leave the Task Manager up (in the background) when you're playing. You can ALT-TAB to it later if you need to. It will not eat up CPU or memory while you're playing the game.

Combat Prayer (morph of Blessing of Protection from the Resto Staff line) no longer casts in the direction that your camera is facing (i.e. toward the reticle). Rather, the ability casts in the direction that your character model is facing. I'm not sure whether this change to the ability is intended or not, but I do not recall seeing this in the patch notes.

I disagree with this change if it is intended because it makes Combat Prayer more difficult to use effectively. Previously, my healer didn't have to worry about its positioning and incremental footwork to properly use the spell on the party; I could just make sure that the camera (reticle) was facing the party to get the spell cast in the right direction, and the cast would auto-turn my healer to face that direction. Now, I have to be ultra-conscientious of which way my character model is facing during important fights and make little (and annoying) incremental adjustments to my healer's position relative to the party, which is extremely difficult for most chaotic encounters where I am expected to pay attention to my party's health bars, to move around significantly while doing so, and to cast several ground-target healing abilities using my mouse. The change to the Combat Prayer ability doesn't seem to be consistent with these competing demands on healers nor with the way other healing abilities work at all.

@ZOS_GinaBruno, I'd really like to know whether this is intended or not, and whether or not Combat Prayer can be changed back to casting in the direction that the camera is facing.

My two cents: (#'s 1 & 2 have already been reported earlier in this thread)

1. Mounts seem "off":

• There's a new delay between hitting "H" and getting on the mount
• When you do get on on the horse, he jets off with an amazing boost of speed
• While holding down "W" & sprinting, my horse will periodically stop for a step or two then re-start at his normal sprint speed
• Small obstacles impede mount movement more than they previously did

2. Gear is being periodically repaired with no interaction from me (sitting on an inventory screen writing with pen & paper)

3. The drop rate for gold tempers from refining raw materials seems to have gone down, not up. I refined about 1,000 raw materials last night & received 1 gold temper. Pre-1.6, I would have expected probably 5-10 gold tempers from refining this many raw materials. (and yes, I remembered to re-invest my skill points prior to refining)

Thanks, ZOS, for keeping an eye on these threads

My playing partner and I had the same experiences with 2 & 3. Equipment repaired without interaction. The 'Significant Gold Increase' that was promised did not happen. We got far less than expected from thousands of raw materials in Wood, Cloth and Metal. This was very troublesome because we could have refined before the transition and now feel like we lost out.

I refined 300 0re and got six tempers.

when i right click on it, how do i set it to high priority? i dont see that anywhere

This is driving me nuts!
The game keeps crashing on me and not only that. It takes out my pc with it.
No crash reports in the archives.
I can play for about 2 minutes and then its lights out and turn on my pc again. Ive had no problems prior to this patch. Is there a fix? Or is it just wait and see how it works in a few hours?

Didn't see this mentioned, but now if I pull up map/inventory/anything else, I always now have to press "." to get the crosshairs back and out of cursor mode.

also had this one yesterday and reported it ingame. it lasted through a few hours of playing and 2 different chars. any kind of use of the UI seemed to cause it

This sounds like the normal functionality it has always had - movement speed is only increased when Concealed Wep is in the active bar.

I'm not sure whether this change to the ability is intended or not, but I do not recall seeing this in the patch notes.

I've been seeing this issue with other directional AoE's as well - acid spray for example. If I toggle my camera view around, and character is not facing the same direction as camera, then hit acid spray, it fires in the direction the character is facing. Before patch, character would turn to face same direction as camera any time you hit an attack skill. The character is not turning anymore until I actually move forward (or any direction), then it rights itself. If this change is intentional, it's not good at all - making for a lot of missed attacks, seriously problematic in dungeons.

3. When in a group, I am now getting the prompt to travel to group leader every time I enter a new zone or even enter/leave a dungeon (including public dungeons). It's extremely annoying. Before the patch, the prompt would pop up once, if you say "No I don't want to travel to party leader", it would go away and not come back. Again, not sure if this is intentional or not, but if it is, please make this an option to only prompt once (or not at all would be even better - I don't need a prompt to travel to my party leader), or set it back the way it was. The popup every time I enter a new zone or phase is extremely annoying.

4. Dunmer passive Flame Talent is having zero effect on the flame damage output of Meteor. Not sure if this is true of all flame dmg skills or not, but putting more points into the passive does not change anything for Meteor at all.

Sorcerer here, not sure if this is 1.6 specific, but my pet command button does nothing (may be older issue, haven't used pets in ages until today).

My pet scuttler is gone

It should now show up in the collections window (where the mounts are). I deleted my 3 pets soon after launch due to the lack of inventory space, and today they're all back

Yeah, my other pets are there, just not the Scuttler from the Explorer's Pack. I made a comment about this when testing on the PTS a little while ago, and at least one other person had this issue too.

• Game kicks you out to login all the time in PVP.
• Crazy lag in cyro.
• Alliance indicators are invisible and can't be enabled.
• Sap essence doesn't work on many targets.
• Sorc pets see you in cloak and stealth and follow you around forever.
