Screen freezes since Summerset launch.

Ectheliontnacil

Although I have noticed a performance increase in a trial environment, I cannot say the changes that came with Summerset made my game feel more smooth in general. In pvp I get weird screen freezes (where my display is completely static for about 1 sec). This did not occur pre Summerset and is very annoying.

Is anyone aware of a fix to this issue and are you experiencing the same problem?

Really makes pvp a lot less enjoyable and I hope it get's fixed asap .

Same here... It feel as if the game runs more smooth in 'heavey visual' situations (trials and so) but I get some random freezes when walking abouts. Around 1 sec indeed. And more crashes. I dunno...

Yes exactly! So glad that I'm not the only one .

Tbh I'd rather have 20 fps lower on average than freezes, if it happens in the wrong moments you're dead. Also it breaks my immersion .

thinking it may have something to do with loading characters in
my game is running smoother most of the time,
but entering into and moving through heavily populated areas seems to be marked with a new stutter where the screen periodically freezes

have not run any trials since the update, but perhaps since it is done with a consistent group the game is not dropping and loading up various individuals over and over?

Check out the ZOS response in this thread. Seems like they've identified it and have several potential fixes. Has to do with the main thread waiting on information from a worker thread that is not ready to send that information.

We have had some lovely weather of late so, when my screen freezes I just pop my monitor outside to thaw in the English Summer Sun; then I lightly pat the screen down with a micro-fibre cloth for good measure! All the while I'm wearing marigolds and singing Queen's "I want to break free" at top volume!

Thanks! This is very helpful indeed. Looks like well have to revert the Summerset changes .

Hope they have a proper fix by Monday.

Same for me. Riding around, often when I’m alone just farming etc.

I tried turning it off and on, but it doesn't seem to be the cause.

I had these quite bad at the start but I checked windows and even though windows game bar had recording in the background off.. shutting it totally off really helped me

I'll give that a try .

Really seems to be a widespread issue, I saw 2 streamers having freezes too. Namely @Blobsky and @JackDaniell .

Oh man if you would know what is up on ps4... We got this 1sec freeze basically everywhere in towns pvp pve but we also got "perma" freeze mostly in pvp where you just have to restated the game... And also random loading screens are back to cyrodiil, yay

Bomber293

Plus all this jerks running snipe builds because the ability is bugged af but I guess you got that too

Ectheliontnacil

@Bomber293 Yeah man, lag snipes is soooo annoying.
