Screen freezes since Summerset launch.

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 :neutral: .

    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 :smile: .

    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!

    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'll give that a try :smile: .

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