Why do I have such low FPS?

Jadar
Everyone else is complaining about having 30-40 FPS, mine (If I am not mistaken) is 8-10. Some days it will work better and be 12-15 but right now this ain't that great playing with slow frames :( Please someone tell me what I can do to fix this?

    Lower the video quality, you have many options to lower.
    Could probably be improved by Z but it's your computer.

    I put that into account, it loads everything else fine?

    Or ask ZOS to buy a new megaserver and distribute players among them XD

    LAG in Cyrodiil is best.

    Ikr, but for me it's not even just LAG there, it wont even load the player enemies so I have to fight with aoe's from afar or go into battle blind :/

    Not entirely a joke, really. With the very little information I have (and this is from articles I read back in the BETA), there are 2 mega servers, one for NA and one for EU.

    Before posting that, I was running WGT after a whole day of farming (I'm still trying to get my no-death). The whole day was fine, the last run was a total disgrace (can I say that here? well... too late) and the reason is because it happened while here is the beginning of the night (7PM).

    I can only imagine that this period of the day is early morning for the majority of players. Server gets crowded, lag increases. If there was one more mega-server to attend NA (I don't know about EU) to hold 2/4 of players the original server, the new one would have 1/4 of northern players (USA and cia) + most of the southern players (Latin America, Australia and cia.)

    I think that makes kind of a sense. Not only the lag would reduce (theoretically), but southern players would have less latency and, perhaps, would be able to accomplish things that requires better precision.

    Sounds like packet loss maybe? But that doesn't explain the low FPS.

    What kind of hardware are you running? CPU, GPU and RAM.

    theres always the good ol "delete the shader cooked file"

    Raising floors and lower ceilings by zos standards has created an iron maiden.
    No matter how well you played,when the game is over,the king and pawn go back in the same box.
    Be careful what you ask for from zo$, you always get punished.
    Call me toxic,your the one being slowly poisoned by greed.

    It's just a temporary collection of info, safe to delete as the game will make another one.
