What to do with game stuttering?

Bruccius

So, I've been playing ESO for around two years now, and the last couple of months I've had my game stutter a bit while playing.
By ''stuttering'', I mean that the game itself runs as it should, however, the screen has a delay of sorts. It's not like lag, where the game stutters, but the screen itself that stutters.

My graphics settings are already at the lowest, so I know that can't be the problem, but does anyone have any idea on how to fix the problem? I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but to no avail.

I suggest you re-post this on the Technical Forum for your platform, giving a lot more information about your system, where you're playing from and on which server etc. In any event, make sure you're using a wired internet connection, not a wireless one.

No idea about your computer specs.

Your ingame settings might be at the lowest, but some things can not be changed ingame, you can tweak your game more by using the user.ini located where you have your addon folder etc.

You said stuttering so I assume it is your computer that is causing the problem.

You can check this out, the poster of this is very awesome: http://www.dieguild.com.au/mobile/forum/viewthread/m/6125981/id/13085492-eso-technical-compendium-fixes-tweaks-mods-addons

The "usersettings.ini explained" is good for helping optimizing.
SET MinFrameTime.2 0 to 1 // Engine framerate limiter. Default 0.01 (10ms or 100fps). Calculated by 1 divided by desired framerate limit. Limit it to your average fps for the best results. Engine fps limiting is far superior to driver-level fps limiting such as Nvidia Inspector, RadeonPro, Afterburner, etc.

I put my frame time to 60fps bcs I have 60hz freq, and I no longer get stutter from frame drop like 100 down to 60.

SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS -3 to 3 // * Textures have 6 resolutions, depending on how far away or close you are to the mesh/model. Native/max resolution is -3 (the high resolution you see in NPC conversations). Altering this changes what the base resolution is. High in-game is 0. -2 is recommended for no pop-in.

I forgot to add, that you can change even more with catalyst control center or Nvidia control panel depending on your gfx card.

Texture filtering quality / changing this will give biggest performance change out of the customisable options here, very noticeable.
