ESO64 not working after "hotfix"

louweezi2preub18_ESO

I'm using Win7Pro64 and ESO64 was working well (& looking good) both on the PTS before live release of TG as well as live *after* Thieves Guild DLC.
Now I crash frequently and see missing graphics (those pink mounts are *not* cute!) since this morning "fix".
Even earlier this morn, before hotfix was pushed to live server, ESO64 was working well.
And, yes, I did use the "ESO64.exe" file for both PTS & live.
uh, Thanks
Sigh

I had the same issues before and after the hotfix update. I did seem to have 30+ min of higher FPS before it dropped back down to where it had been before the hotfix. Memory usage has been steady at 2800-2900MB before and after so it would seem to rule out a memory leak.

I'm with the OP on this one.

Last night for the first time **ever** I was actually able to really play the game. Until this point my experience (since beta) has been consistently awful. I could get 30 to 60 minutes of kinda-sorta-*mostly*-playable fps before latency climbed and settled steadily somewhere between 786 and 999+ and fps dropped to below 10 (unless I was in a city in which case it settled at below 3). Necessitating a reload of the game in order to continue for another bite of middling to frustrating playing. Even during the ok 30 to 60 minutes I couldn't read books or indeed open any menu larger than a loot screen without an immediate jump in latency and drop in fps. And group activity? Never seen any of it because it always turned into a slideshow and I wasn't going to drag a group down like that.

Last night, launching the 64bit client manually, for a few blissful hours ALL of that changed. I could play this game just like any other MMO. And it was beautiful. I don't think I've felt that excited and enchanted about a game since my first MMO. I've just been waiting for that experience with this franchise since beta and finally, FINALLY it had arrived!

And then I downloaded the hotfix this afternoon and while it still plays beautifully and I can read books and open menus and then go right back to playing and even be around other players without it turning into a slide show...I've gone from 30 - 60 minutes before a slideshow ( pre-ThievesGuild) to 5 to 10 minutes followed by a crash to desktop (post hotfix). And the continuous, flawless beauty from last night? Dragged down to Coldharbour where, clearly, unspeakable things occurred.

My hand to Magnus, it's what I expected when I read about the hotfix last night. So it wasn't surprising. But it did make me a little sad to be proven right.
