Graphics setting shared across devices, PC/Mac

agegarton

I play ESO on multiple different Macs. Two are capable of running the game on the high graphics settings, but one isn't, so I use it infrequently on medium settings. Is there an option somewhere to ensure that each device has its own saved graphics settings? At the moment, if I change the setting to medium on the slower Mac, my settings automatically change (reduce) when I play again on a faster Mac.

I have a suspicion that my Mac setup might be responsible - but wondered if anyone else had a similar problem and had a solution.

Minor issue, but a little annoying at times

Yes, the game is installed on each machine. Think I have found the culprit though - all my documents are stored in the cloud, which seems to include the text file with my saved settings, thereby making them universal.

Oh well, at least I know.

Hi there,

You're playing on 3 different machines, but where is your game ? On an external hard drive ?
If it is there, it's normal that each time you link it to another PC, it's gonna analyze your system to put the "basic" performances and settings.

Pretty sure he has installed it on all those machines.
I don't know how I did it but I have games installed at work and home. Both have different graphic settings.

Yes, that's it.
I didn't think of this way to play, does it works fine ? No lags (I mean more than normal ^^ ) and no FPS drops ?
Just need a good internet connection maybe, to read all files while playing ?

Yeah it works fine - addon settings and user settings port across machines just fine. No delays or drops - I am running at around 30gig upload and maybe 10gig download on average, taking wifi etc into account. The only challenge is the one I mentioned - one of my less used macs can't handle the number of addons and the graphics settings I have on my usual machine. Not a big deal - just need to remember to switch settings at logon.
