How many of you have problem FPS decrease overtime?

chexor

This is known issue on LIVE server.. I started noticing this problem in Asylum hardmode, i started a trial with great fps, before fight 80-90fps, in fight never droped under 40 fps, and after 4-5 wipes, i get 50-60 fps before fight, and in fight 23-30 fps max (which is unplayeble).. For me there was 2 fixes, one log out to character menu and login again (reload ui doesnt help, or even disabling ALL addons), or restarting trial.. So i was so happy about multicore support on PTS, and i thought it will fix my issue, but sadly not.. FPS is great, but after some time FPS just drops even more then before, in fight Z'maja+1 i get 50fps, and after 5-6 tries it drops to 25-30 fps...

I have the same issue..
Ruins the game for me

They need to look at frame rate across the board

jrgray93

Yep, this is a known issue. It's especially bad in place like Dragonstar Arena. I usually let my team know to pause before the final boss so I can relog and get my fps from 30ish to 90+. They said they were addressing some of what causes it on the PTS but I have yet to test those claims.

Qbiken

Depends on where I´m in the game. In vHoF can have 10 fps in certain fights, which makes it unplayable. The things I would do to have stable 30 fps in a trial.....

I think next update is supposed to improve this.

It's supposed to add multi-core and thread support, but if it's s memory leak issue it's not gonna help.

I have tested on PTS v4.0.1, it is even worst tbh.. Because FPS in new trial is GREAT, i get 50-60 fps in middle of the fight no problem, but sad part is it drops under 30fps after 5-6 tries.. When log out, and login, i get 60fps in middle of the fight...
It's not hard to fix this problem, probably in engine there's future where it "cache" visual efects to prevent them from rendering twice, but somehow that might be slowing down performance, i am not really sure.. Hopefuly they will fix this soon..

My FPS has been dropping since jan and the last month or so the fps drops have taken me to single digits and even crashed my graphics card. I use to get 100 fps and 50-60 under really heavy loads. I messed with addons and even lowered graphics settings to medium and then further reduced some of the settings and nothing helps. I think its the client and something to do with one of the patches early this year.

If you graphics card is crashing, the problem is either in the drivers or the GPU itself, not the game.

It gets really bad in vhof. Like terrible, and I'm on ps4 NA.

everything is pointing to a mem leak which are not uncommon in on line games over the years.

Easily_Lost

I noticed that last Sunday, my frame rate was in the teens. After the Monday maintenance the frame rate went back up to 'my' normal, about 27 to 30 fps.

Thats not true at all. No other games cause my graphics card to crash. My PC also crashes on occasion when i play ESO. Yet my pc NEVER crashes outside of ESO. The client is what is causing the crashes, not a hardware/firmware problem.

BaylorCorvette

This happens to me in Cyrodiil, after about 30-40 minutes of PvPing I notice a serious degrade in performance. However reloading UI fixes it for me.

Still.
This only means the problem that makes you GPU crash is only triggered by ESO. Probably other games would trigger it too.
A game can't hang properly functioning hardware with properly functioning drivers.
Also... are you sure it's a GPU crash?
Maybe it's overheating.

In any case, it'd be worth reporting to your drivers' developer or GPU manufacturer if youa re sure it's a GPU crash.

ssorgatem

It happens to me too, Reloadui doesn't fix it, I need to close the game and open it again.

Fallewarrior

Yes I had this yesterday day in a player owned house. Was stuck at 30-50 fps for some reason. Quit the game and logged in again, back to 100fps...

Different games cause different pressures on the hardware. It's very unlikely that a game will cause a hard computer crash, as opposed to the game simply crashing to the desktop.

The only time my computer has crashed with ESO was when the graphics card was dying.

For one thing, I think your 8GB of Ram is probably an issue. Seems to me that for most resource hungry gaming like ESO, 16GB would be a minimum. I think you would see a significant improvement if you can add another 8 gigs to your computer.

Guys until about 7-8 years ago i repaired PCs professionally. Went to school for it, got the little piece of paper and the bumper sticker. Its a software problem,specifically the client. All my drivers are up to date and my video card and my pc works fine for other heavy graphics/heavy CPU programs. Another sign that its the client and not my PC is lowering settings doesnt improve performance. It should but doesnt and in some cases performance got worse. Its not like im playing on ultra and in HD either.

As for pc crashes. Its not a blue screen. The massive memory leak by the client eventually causes the client to lock up sometimes it just crashes to desktop sometimes it locks up the PC so i hard reboot it. Again client problem. If you have a large amount of free memory when you play and you dont play for long periods you probably dont notice the memory leak as it doesnt start affecting performance until your memory gets full of trash because it hasnt dumped. So it takes longer to reach that point. The same may true for the graphics it could have the same memory problem which causes a display driver crash. My display driver recovers but it effectively crashes the game. Sound but no picture. Alt tab to desktop and everything is peachy with graphics. So everything is crashing in the confines of the client not my pc itself.

Kodrac

I'm pretty sure there's a memory leak. Weeknights I'm usually only logged in for 1 - 3 hours and never get it, but on weekends when I'm logged in for 5+ it shows up. The only way to fix it is to close the game client entirely which also leads me to think it's eating memory.

That paints a different picture to the one you described earlier. Nonetheless, it's still possible that the game is putting a different pressure on ESO than on other things, and that there's a weakness there that is being tested and found out.

With memory leaks I do wonder (a) how long people are logged in before they happen (I know some players never exit from the game even when they're not playing, (b) how often they switch off their machines long enough to clear the memory (again, a lot of people never switch off their computer whereas others, myself included, switch it off every night and whenever they go out for more than a short time), and (c) whether they are using Windows 10, have overclocked any components, have stuff running in the background including a number of open browser windows while playing etc.

I'm not denying that like any software the game has a few issues, the question is how to avoid them or work around them.

But now what you describe is not a GPU crash.
See? and now you are talking about a driver crash?
If the driver crashes it's the driver's fault. Or the hardware's.

Also, if you can alt-tab to desktop, the GPU and their drivers are fine. That's not a GPU crash at all.

A GPU crash is when the screen freezes and you can't change the displayed picture at all; or when it just goes black or without signal, with the PC otherwise responding.

I know them well, I've had my share of them while testing in-development Vulkan drivers for my Vega GPU...

I'm not denying that like any software the game has a few issues, the question is how to avoid them or work around them.

Higher end hardware is better able to cope with bad software. Lower end or older pcs, mine being the latter, have a bigger struggle with coping with software issues.

More memory will help with memory leak since it gives a bigger buffer before it gets full. That is not an option for most people but reducing the number of programs you have running with ESO can help. For example i always have chrome open on my pc with 3/4 tabs. Closing it would buy me about another GB of memory. Or restarting the client every so often would also solve the issue.

The same should be true with a graphics card. Higher end/newer cards should be able to handle the software issues better. I havent tested if the problem can be lessened with a higher end /newer card.

I am getting a new pc this year, because while i can technically run two clients on recommended settings, my PC is starting to struggle with compensating for bad programing.

Im looking at an 8th gen processor, 32 GB ram, and probably an Optane card. Might go SSD/HDD hybrid though, but im seeing better performance numbers with an optane card in the research i did. I dont think hybrid tech is quite there yet. I think it needs a few more years to really get top notch performance out of it. I dont usually go with high end video cards because they are extortionately priced and not really worth paying the extra when in a couple of years you can pick the same card up for a third of the price or less.Typically a good, moderately priced video card is plenty for games unless your looking for the max experience in which case your going to pay heavily for it.

Hmm i dont think memory is an issue, because when i get fps drop, my memory usage is same as before.. 60% at max.. And 8gb of ram is just fine for me right now (eso by itself uses 2.2gb max for me)

As far as I know Optane technology isn't worth it for what you can get in NVM PCI express based SSD and with 32 GB DDR4 RAM as Optane cost much more. Get a high quality mainboard (for PCI express interface, controller and chipset) and you should gain more from that investment then going for Intel's Optane cards.

I always find it humorous to read threads about fps. Mostly because it’s always people on pc complaining. If you ever have the chance to play on console then please do. We accomplish some amazing feats for only being able to keep up <10 FPS at all times (also without the use of addons).

I do completely agree regardless. ZOS really does need to do something about the garbage frames across all platforms.

Any news about this Problem?? It still happens every Day.. Im massively tired of restarting my Game every hour or half.

Changed my view distance by decreasing it. My fps rate are lot higher and steadier now.
