Change the following two lines in your usersettings.txt file that you posted to what I have below

SET RequestedNumJobThreads "-1"
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "-1"

i will try it, but the reason I changed it a long time ago is because I had very severe stuttering issue after upgrading to Windows 10 that was fixed by changing this setting from -1 to 0

Same issue for me. I can't see any lightning, fire, sorc or templar moves (except spear shards). I tried looking at my UserSettings.txt but they are already -1. Tried deleting and making a new version. Nothing works.

@IcyDeadPeople

Make sure the setting right above it: SET MaxCoresToUse "4" matches the amount of processing threads in your computer.

i.e. An intel core i3 processor has 2 physical cores but 2 processing threads per core, so we set it as 4. If you have an intel i7, that is 4 cores and each have 2 threads so set maxcorestouse to 8.

Easy way to do this is go to the Device manager on your computer and click the arrow next to processors and count how many it shows.

^This. Only thing was, for me changing it to 0 was the only way I could actually PLAY the game. Else I'd crash on startup.

Also, we shouldn't even be having to change ini settings to fix something a patch broke. Especially when a patch afterword could cause things to go awry again. Hopefully this gets fixed soon, because ini fixes work only for so long. =/

power of light,channeled focus,destruction staff shots,meteor.none of these are visible for my Templar.

But God damn lava and RD ARE BRIGHT AF!!!!

i have tried different settings in usersettings file it didnt solve the problem.

It looks like its no hardware problem or connection problem; i see the xp coming in when a mob dies but see the death animation 2 sec later, no heavy or light attacks animations visible but they do damage and immediately, no delay there so connection is ok, game runs very smooth except the issue with animations

my nb stands as described before with arm stretched most if the time, i see no staff attack animations and no class skill animations, elemental blockade is a feint glow on the floor; all skills seem to do damage. Even meteor is not visible

i also have a specific issue i havent seen decsribed before although i have almost all problems described, i see boss health bars go down slower than actual and the heath of bosses keeps dropping about 10 sec after they are dead until its at 0, combat sound is also audible until bar disappears

@ZOS_KaiSchober it seems there is a general problem with skills animations not limited to specific client or class; any feedback on this will be appreciated:)

For those that are not experiencing a change after editing their userfile numthreads entry, a thought: make sure you did not set your file to "read only" at any time as that was required to make certain settings stick in the past.

Doctordarkspawn

Add channeled focus and morphs to the list. GET THIS BUGGERY FIXED, PLEASE.

ZOS_GinaBruno

The compiled list is great, Judas. Thank you! We're actively looking into this, and will let you all know if we need any additional info.

I had this issue as well. Solution for me is as follows. Change the following two lines in the usersettings.txt file to match what is shown below. Mine were set to 0

SET RequestedNumJobThreads "-1"
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "-1"

This worked for me as well. Tyvm¡¡

macabrex

Changing requestednumjobs to 0 didnt solve for me. Still cant see channeled focus and healing springs.

ZOS_GinaBruno

For those of you running into this issue, could you please attach (or PM) your UserSettings.txt and DxDiag for us?

stomas1

yo lads, same problems with my char as well, no dark flare, no fire animation, in short word everything that was listed above on top of that hp bars r frozen n combat text does not work at all, if i use destructive reach the knockback animation does not show

PM'd both files.

Ftr, attacks with bows and other weapons appear to be fine but any destro attacks (even by enemy mobs) do not show and their lighting sticks around - which leads to declining performance in boss battles where several begin to stack. Abilities like liquid lightning do not render but can be synergized with. Some users have reported being able to see Wall of Elements and not Healing Springs. I can see the latter just fine, but the former does not render. Markers for accepted quests are missing, but show up on potential quest givers.

Schemering

sent both files in pm and ill be happy to provide more info if asked for:)

As a follow up to the partial solution I posted that has worked for some about making changes in the usersettings file. I have done a little more testing.

Used two different machines with the following GPU and CPU

Computer 1: Intel core i5 with a nvidia 940m
Computer 2: Intel core i3 with a nvidia GTX760

Both suffer from the same issue described in this post. However only one of the two lines in the user settings file actually solved the issue which is:
SET RequestedNumJobThreads "0" \\ Can be set to either -1 or 0 Issue does not replicate either way
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "-1" \\ Must be set to -1 setting to 0 will cause the issue described in this thread

Since at least for me it is the worker threads having to be set to unlimited, I am starting to wonder if it is a GPU or CPU issue since both of my computers both use Intel and Nvidia.

Would others that have this problem please share your GPU and CPU specs. Hopefully narrow this down further.

@IndyWendieGo

The only difference i see between your usersettings and mine is this line you have:
SET CachedRLREnabled "1"

Mine is set to 0. Not sure what it does, might try that, would again delete the shadercache if you try this.

ZOS_GinaBruno

Thanks for the help so far, everyone. We have enough UserSettings and DxDiags for now, and are continuing to work on getting this fixed.

Have we mentioned you're a godsend to these forums?

Testing that out now!

Though I do have to say that with the bug (and a little off topic), it's taught me to build around things I use as a crutch. I never really realized how valuable Impale was to my build. I do now!

heystreethawk

Was having missing visual effects, and a funky lag on trash mobs, where their health bars would stop dropping, they would linger in place for a few seconds, and then they'd just die.

CPU: Intel i7-4790k
GPU: nVidia GeForce 970GTX

I set the two Num values to -1, changed the core value to 8, deleted the shader file and the problems went away!

Much appreciated and fingers crossed! What little bit I can play has been great. The revamped bosses and dolmens have been fun.

FleetwoodSmack

Update: @AsteriaStarfall And nope! Didn't fix it. Hopefully ZoS can!

ku5h

@AsteriaStarfall Copied you'r setings and now when i launch the game it doesnt go full screen. I can see my taskbar and stuff. Ofc didnt save original txt.

AsteriaStarfall

@IndyWendieGo

I downloaded and used your usersettings file in replacement of mine (simply changed the login name)

The problem did not replicate on mine. So if it is still doing it on yours and for the others that the -1 change did not fix, i believe this will be a fix that can only come from ZoS and cannot be done via usersetting changes.

I'm sorry, simply a humble network admin and not a program developer. I really wish I could have got it working for you though. It bothers me when I cannot find the solution.

@ku5h Yeah i have mine set to windowed mode, however you can change it back to full screen in game under the settings --> video menu

Totally fine. xD I know there are others that are having the same issue, and even then we really shouldn't have to change our ini's to get things that worked before, to work again in a future patch without any software changes (like the move to DX 11 compliancy). To my knowledge, nothing really changed.

Some important notes about this bug...........:

Its funny that when i first entered the One Tamriel update, my game worked fine, even skills effects, but after some Dueling, my skills started to vanish, and something more to add is that sometimes after the duel is over, I die because of unknow reasons, and I can't even go to a wayshrine or resurrect, only log out and in again...

I tried all of the solutions in this forum but none worked, now i'll list my hardware and software:

- Intel Celeron Dual-Core 2.6 GHz;
- NVidia Geforce GTX 550 TI 1G;
- 4 G Ram;
- 500 G HDD;
- Operational System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits;
- Playing on the 64 bits client;
- No mods installed on the game.

I play the game with everything on high exept shadows and maximum particle systems that are low.
And thats it, sorry for the english...!
