What FPS do you get in trials?

Horowonnoe

Also - if you comment, if you could please mention what settings you run the game on i would greatly appreciate. If ping is an issue for you please mention that also. I'm wondering how people play and what they are able to do given their situation. I am specifically interested in boss fights, such as the Warrior or Mage or Rakkhat.
(FPS - frames per second)

***Bonus Q: Was your fps/ping situation always the same or has it changed over time? If yes, please elaborate.

Thanks all.

Horowonnoe

5-15 FPS

I found my fps decreased significantly since 1tamriel and especially since homestead.

Siliziumdioxid

50+ FPS

Sorry voted wrong i thought it was about ping...
FPS is around 30-40 but ping is way more worse (usually 500+)

Tasear

1-9 FPS

Yes

Asmael

15-30 FPS

By having basically everything disabled, only texture quality & subsampling are medium, evreything else low or off.

Autolycus

15-30 FPS

I run 100 FPS in a lot of places in Tamriel. Trials and main cities are not among them. This is true for most of my friends too - performance inside of trials is awful. Frankly I couldn't care much less about a few spikes in big cities, that's to be expected imho.

We've all already done a thorough analysis of our rigs. Most of us are playing every game we've purchased in the last 3 years on ultra settings with 60+ fps, with ESO being a particularly confusing outlier. I've personally done extensive research to get to the bottom line. It involved running a few dozen traceroutes and contacting the server owner at the point where packets were being lost. They conducted an investigation and the results were a clear conviction that ZOS is rejecting the packets when they hit the server... aka "throttling" that affects both latency and framerate. After 3 months of troubleshooting I was finally able to ascertain what and where the problem is, and it's server-side.... As in, the megaserver we all play on. The packets quickly and reliably made it to the final destination and were rejected at the endpoint in every traceroute that we ran. I sent all of this info to ZOS and they politely told me to get lost. Oh yeah, and to buy the next DLC.

Damianos

50+ FPS

Granted I've only done Normal MoL and the Normal Craglorn ones via PuGs, but my FPS is always about 70+ about the only time it dips is when there's about 300+ people storming a keep I am in while PvPing.

Xecil

This thread doesn't look promising. It's The Secret World all over again. Then again, they are using the Hero Engine, so it should have been expected. Sad to see how finite my membership is; however.

RajinPVP

50+ FPS

Im smooth in trials and all busy areas ranging from 60-100 fps! This with all highest settings. Minimal addon use with only LUI , combat metrix on. My specs is i7 with gtx 1070 , 32 gb memory ram and the game intalled in SSD !

In cyro... i tend to turnoff grass ,shadow and water reflect. I could leave it all highest setting but i just dont like the fps drops in cyro.

Tryxus

My FPS is in direct proportion to the amount of Destro Ultis there are on my screen

Vaoh

15-30 FPS

PS4 Pro - great internet connection with 800GB free space.

Battles tend to be between 10-25FPS from how it looks.

In more intensive scenarios or the *many* buggy areas that cause console players to have mass crashing issues I consistently fall below 10 FPS.

Oompuh

1-9 FPS

Definitely around 4 fps.

(I'm on console so I have no idea)

Wow that is very interesting. So what do you get in trials usually, fps wise?
And when there are lag spikes, what does it slow down to?

Edit: NVM i see you voted.

This is indeed very interesting. Did you find out that you guys had any differences in different instances and dungeons? I have some problems with lag myself that seems to be very situational. Take Maelstrom Arena for example, some rounds play really smooth, round 4 for example, but round 7 lags like hell for me. Same in trials, Mage in AA doesn't lag that much at all compared to Rakkhat and the Serpent.

Was there any specific settings that you could apply to get better performance in these situations? I haven't done that much of testing with various settings myself, but I really ought to since the lag is messing up my rotation.

For me it really depends in which trial and whether it's trash or boss-fight.

In boss-fight I can be around stable 30-45. On trash my FPS jojo's between 5 and 40.

That is very nice FPS on bosses.

I have not been able to ascertain what exactly is causing the problems, but they aren't always consistent. There are some places where someone (although maybe a different person each time we go in) always has issues, like on Rhakkat in vMoL. We have people running every graphic either turned completely off or at a minimal setting and still getting 10 fps and crashing in vMoL, and these are the same people who are playing everything on ultra 100+ fps outside of trials and in every other game they play.

During the 3-month span where I did all this troubleshooting (it was at Thieves Guild release), I was unable to do any trials or vMA. I tried, but simply going into a trial made me crash or came with 999+ ping and <20fps the entire time. I've had a few friends who had the same problems and just quit playing because of how frustrating it is (one of them came back since, still having problems after a year, and quit again). Fortunately for me, the crashing and most extreme issues went away with Dark Brotherhood, but the framerate drops still occur in every trial, and this is with or without a ton of particle effects (for example, between pulls when nothing is happening). I can say that AA on the mage isn't so bad, but the storm and stone atronachs are abhorrent for me, and they were never a problem prior to 1T.

There was even a point in vMA (rink of frozen blood) where I would enter the arena, I could hear the portals opening and the round starting, but everything was invisible. I proceeded to get hit by all of the invisible enemies and would die. Then I would respawn, and everything would be visible again, but if I messed up and restarted the round, everything would go invisible. Usually it was alternating between everything being invisible and crashing, so bad that I all but quit playing until DB released.

There aren't any specific settings that seem to make any difference, and I've tried literally every combination of graphic settings, across the full spectrum of 8-bit Minecraft graphics to Watch Dog settings (which coincidentally, I can run just fine). It's been an off-and-on issue for a lot of people I know over the last year and a half. I tried various other things too, like running as admin, reinstalling, disabling every add-on, even replaced my graphics card (GTX 970) and my processor, a variety of network troubleshooting attempts beyond just traceroutes, and everything that ZOS support asked me to do before they wrote me off.

Sometimes it's 5-15. Benefits of playing on overheating laptop

I usually start with over 30 and always end up with less than 10 on the last bosses, especially the Mage in vAA.

The fps drop is real...

That doesn't sound very encouraging. My game works very well and I have zero lag until I play some Maelstrom rounds and some Trials, so it sounds like we have the same problem. I'll try to do some basic testing with performance but if the problem is what it sounds like (server side) it might not even make a difference.

Thanks for the information, you might have saved me some time

I play on pretty low settings, but also play on a 10-year-old laptop, so I expect nothing more. For this reason I do not DPS in veteran trials as my characters feel like they are moving in slow motion, which makes it incredibly tough to keep a decent rotation going. Healing and tanking pose no problem though, but sometimes, certain effects do not render right away for me (or at all), which means I need to stay on my toes and pay careful attention to NPCs' physical cues to avoid being hit by stupid, or standing in it for extended periods. Most frequent example of this is when tanking Vashai after he places his negate. Most of the time it doesn't even appear on my screen, so I need to listen for the audio cue, watch for when the boss throws his arms out, etc. to know when to dodge out of it. Good times.

DPSing in 4-man dungeons is a different story, understandably so as there is less stuff going on. My FPS then ranges between 15-30, which is enough for me to keep up a steady rotation and pull good numbers.

Currently saving for a nice PC. Can't wait to experience 60+ FPS.

A bit off topic- if anyone could recommend some solid equipment to play this game at/near max settings, I'm all ears.
