Second reminder of a major bug (game engine performance) that still hasn't been fixed.

elderianmage

Daily reminder of poor game performance.

New day new reminder.

Can confirm that it is a problem.

I agree. It is a huge problem. Should be prioritize as #1.

Actually I have no performance problems with low fps but with game kicking to loading screen without notice .
Even on i5, GTX660ti,8GB ram and 27" screen, my fps is stable (pve, not in pvp though).
While loading to game I wait 1-2 minutes for graphics to be loaded and then while running I stop from time to time to load new areas and textures. Works fine and lag is not high. I'm on the cable and 15Mb btw.

Your Internet connection has nothing to do with game engine performance(you have more then enough BW). Game engine is broken and it needs to be fixed to use all available resources not just focus on single core.
But you can read everything that everybody wrote before me if you check link in first post.

Poor game engine performance is a very serious matter and should be prioritized as number one.

Still nothing? Nice weather I guess we better go outside then play broken ESO.

NaviS

Did you quit on this game after Morrowind? Or are you planning to so you don't care? THE GAME IS UNPLAYABLE wile queued for dungeon! Noone watching this forum anymore?

RIGHTEOUS_REPORT

I've said this for years.

Its a joke.

The game primarily uses one core.

Jah_Shaka

Last couple of days ESO has become unplayable.

Game always played fine on my rig @ 4K now the last couple of days, game suddenly slows right down to almost freezing then unsticks. It does this over and over until I cant take anymore, I have seen other players glitching across the map/towns/dungeons with obviously the same bug

Tried different Nvidia drivers and all suffer this same bug introduced in the last few days.

Please fix this ZOS.

Join the club PlayStation the same started about 2/3 days ago they blame your isp

EvilKiwi

I play on pc and ps4 and have none of these problems. I can imagine how frustrated it must be. ZOS should at least look into why so many are having problems. Good luck.

elderianmage

Glad to see more and more people speaking how bad game performance is.

elderianmage

Issue is still not fixed.

elderianmage

Developers are still ignoring major issue.

elderianmage

Guess what?

Karlov

i confirmed that there is something broke on the game. until the patch of 12 of june i didnt have any issues and my game was very fluid and smooth. 100 FPS and no load times or any trouble. After that patch i start seeing black ninjas all over the place , having loading screens over all the places and the worst is i cant do dolmens anymore because i cant see any enemies and the chest loot takes about 3 mins to appear at the end.
Before the patch i group alot on dolmens without any issues. No changes made on my rig internet/intranet framework.
The game just go bizarre after that patch. got better with the monday patch tho i still have some black ninjas sometimes and i still cant see enemies on dolmens but at least i can see the chest after 1 min waiting.

elderianmage

Is not just patch from june 12th is game engine in its core. And this needs to be addressed and fixed. Actually it should have been fixed before Morrowind expansion.

EvilCalvin

Not sure if you are talking strictly PC but Xbox is fine

@EvilKiwi You're the first person on PS4 that I've seen without performance issues, what's your secret?

Wish I knew PS4 is wired, not on wireless so I'm guessing that helps. Having a fiber connection with max speeds of up to 1000mbs has its advantages.

I have a PS4 Pro with great internet connection and hardwired. Game runs pretty bad. I played it religiously for a few months with no issues at all, always wondering about these threads. But it slowly started to get bad on my end too. It wasn't until Morrowind that the frame stutter got to the point that it bothered me. I think I had simply been acclimated to poor performance though.

I started back playing FFXIV for a few weeks prior to Morrowind launch just to kill time. When I came back for Morrowind it was appalling how poor the performance of this game was. They also recently dropped the Pro patch for FFXIV which lets you choose between better resolution or better performance. I play on the performance side now, but even on the higher resolution side it's perfect. I honestly can't go back to ESO because it's so frustrating. It's not game-breaking unplayable in my case, but it's enough to keep me away sadly.

I love ESO, and I do miss playing it and the people that I played with. But the performance is just so horrid...

docjoe

Agree there is something wrong with this game. Picked it up for my daughter so we could play together but it is unplayable due to lag and freezing. Plus we both are constantly kicked to the loading screen. It has always been pretty laggy but something seems wrong.

And I am on wired high speed cable with high end PC and Alienware laptop. I have plenty of horsepower and good internet connection.

I'm focused on poor game performance for PC version. I can't comment for consoles. Their performance is degraded by default. I still think this issue shouldn't be ignore as currently is. multicore, dual-cpu has been here for what 15 years or more? And nobody even bother to do anything about that. multicore is the solution to spread computing power and it shouldn't be ignored. As well overpricing GPU's and lie to consumers that certain GPU are budget. prices between US and EU are +25% there is nothing budget about that. Why such difference?Game companies aren't better either same numbers different currency and they think is the same value, yeah right. Also cards like GTX 1050 or GTX 1060 3GB = pure scam card nvidia should be sued for such scam. Such cards should never be released as this degrade everything and we shouldn't forget material isn't unlimited + making this products pollutes environment.
they should only release cards and produce with GPU's with 66%+ performance improvement.

And last 60 fps is just too low FPS and degrading for human reflexes, eyes... also goes for selling LCD monitor with such low Hz borderline scam. CRT 15 years ago handled higher Hz for same price.

Something has to be done about this.

I'm on PS4 and I've never noticed an FPS problem.

Try opening the Nvidia control panel, disable v-sync, set pre-rendered frames to 1, anisotropic filtering can be maxed out and ensure the card power setting are set to maximum performance.

Next check Nvidia experience > settings > check that you havent got power saver mode enabled, it will limit your frames to 30 onwards to 60 (depending on your choice). Its just best to disable that function altogether

On top, try Ethernet cable opposed to Wi-Fi.

If issue prevails attempt to reduce settings to minimal and see if the game still runs low frames



[plus, what are your specs? I couldn't find them ]

You really don't get it. nothing helps. It will just use less resources then now. From ~30% to ~20% plus graphics will look worse game will play about the same FPS. This isn't how you fix game engine performance, efficiency.

Penuel

This is REALLY SAD for this game..

Im new player on ESO world. I joined BEFORE morrowind major update and RANDOM queue worked so smoothly. I could queue while im doing my quests and joining some random dungeons to have some fun.

BUT, after this major update you CANNOT join queue during the LOSS of your FPS from 100 to 1 instantly, after that game freezes for 2 second and repeating this until you find a queue.

Game Masters wanted to give the opportunity to those.... solo players to have a chance with pledges and random daily BONUS XP you get by joining this queue.

This "bug" or mis function had big IMPACT on those random dungeons that people do not even try to join. For semi-solo players like me im waiting on queue 30+ minutes to get a group that have 40+% chances to FAIL. In order to queue you need to be AFK cause game ending up UNPLAYABLE.

For the tips: if you SELECT SPECIFIC Dungeons (max 3-4 of them) the FPS drop don't exist anymore.
They have been like 3 or 4 "maintenance's" but still no solution. Point is.. i see many people ONLINE and on forums shouting about that problem, but admins/devs seems that they dont even care.
I doubt that they even answered on any of those cry-outs!..
