Frame lag when enemy is executed by Mage's Fury?

Kammakazi

Has anyone have this happened to them? When you cast Mage's Fury, or any of its morphs, the explosion and death of the targeted mob causes your game to stutter for about a half a second or so.

This is incredibly frustrating for whenever I try to beat my score in vMSA because throughout the entire run, it is always present.

LTP issue...... Im just kidding.

I do notice this aswell whenever im taking resources in cryodill with a sorc. Their executes are for sure creating lag. The rag doll from the npc bodies may have somthing to do with it. It always looks like the bodies are falling at 2x speed once the execute goes off after the initial lag spike.

Have you tried disabling all add-ons and seeing if the lag is still present? Just checking as I found an issue after the Thieves Guild patch that caused a certain event (EVENT_ACTION_SLOT_UPDATED) was being called up to 50 times in a single frame when a mob was killed with a Destruction Staff. If any addon used this event to do something it would cause a second or two or lag on mob death. In theory a similar thing could be happening with Mages Fury as well.

Me and Kami are Ps4 players.

I haven't noticed this at all on PC. Maybe there's been a stealth fix that PS4 hasn't received yet?

Are you sure it isn't a stutter from the enemy simply being killed? I have noticed when running Vet dungeons (with a group or solo) that the game will sometimes face 0.5-1.0 second stutters on any enemy death along with large FPS drops. Must relog to fix it!

^ I relog every round of maelstrom cuz of this crap. It just gets worse if you don't.

FYI if you are gone <5 minutes you keep your score and I believe can still flawless

I assume you had a destro staff equipped? I dont play my sorc much these days, but i leveled a dunmer DK during the bonus EXP and ran into this issue on PS4. For me its only destro staff related. Just having it equipped seems to cause it for me. I messed around with it a little. Destro staff equipped>kill a single mob with a class ability>framerate lag. Go to a dolmen with literally 40 people in a ball( during witch festival) and my framerate is smooth as a baby's ass with sword n board out. Its a known issue

This is present on Xbox and have to /reloadui to fix it. It's very aggrevating...

Happens in cyrodiil as well as PvE for me.


Also anytime my game crashed in cyrodiil it will not let me back on the game for an hour or so. This update really screwed with my game, hope a hotfix is inbound.

Its Zenimax storing information on how many deaths are caused by the skill for upcoming nerf in the balance patch for January.

I tested this last night on Xbox since I'm running dual wield/destro sorc and while on destro bar, the game stuttered constantly and while on dual wield, no issues.

It really only happens to me if I'm using a destruction staff. Especially fire. It lags every time I kill something. I've been thinking it has something to do with the Magic regen passive for the staff. None of my stam characters have this issue. Or my DW Templar.

I tried it without any destro passives or the champ point passive arcane well. There was no difference. Just havin the staff equipped when something dies lags it out. It doesnt happen all the time though. In other words, i couldnt replicate it on command. For me it seems to happen after extended times playing, like 2 hours or more. Mabye its a memory leak or something?

inferno staffs are broken as hell.but it seems like every skill animation in the game can bug out these days.i even have issues with steel tornado.mostly the animation of skill gets stuck then i fire them all in a sec.dunno if lag causes this but i one shotted some guy at a duel yesterday,and he had 4 heavy attacks in his recap even though i only used crit rush.

Sort of similar issue on magblade throughout vma. For me it's anytime skoria procs, I drop meteor, or I'm near more than three enemies dying at once. Add in weaving with funnel and I am one sad nb.

Saying that - yes, I have the same issue. Similarly, the exhale of my DK's Draw Essence produces the exact same oroblem.

Im on PS4 and I have fps issues when using more than one lightning ability. A lot of stuttering when using wall of elements, liquid lightning and heavy attacking.

i think it's more of a coding issue where the game sees you as dead after the initial cast because it jumps ahead and adds the explosion in

example:
enemy at 3k health
mages fury hits 1k
"lag"
explosion hits 2k
dead

Confirmed... Zos please...

Two quick questions for anyone experiencing this type of lag:

1. Are you running any add-ons and have you tried disabling them to see if has any effect?
2. Does this only happen with a Destruction Staff equipped or other weapons?

I ran into a strange bug with an API event a while back that caused similar lag on mob death when you have a destruction staff equipped and am wondering if this is the same issue.

I have it but it happens mostly when a big/huge group is near but in a 1v1 or small group situation i have no problems

1. no add-ons, im playing on the PS4
2. For me its only with a destro staff equipped, and not necessarily using destro staff abilities
