Disappearing walls and floors are back

Varana

Had it happen randomly as well (Blackheart Haven, Mounrhold Bank...) since the patch. Never seen this bug before.
I don't think it's specific locations, it's a general problem, introduced by the patch.

Mournhold City Center looked like this:


until I rotated the camera, just barely, and then it looked like this:


Clockwork City has been glitching out for the last two days, as well.

Wormroot Depths in Grahtwood, here is a few screen shots.

Honestly besides just making questing and navigating difficult, it is starting to hurt my eyes the more I see these areas.

Just now in the Shornhelm Mages Guild, this:


turned to this:



(Reminds me of The Fade/Black City from Dragon Age. #worlds collide)

Check this out. This is inside the building in Belkarth where the Jewelry Crafting and Enchanting Station are as I was about to exit through the main door.

It's sad... people are continually adding reports about this and we have YET to have a dev chime in and state they are aware and are working on it. CLEARLY they are aware, but it's almost like, "Um, we don't know how to fix this or IF we can fix it, so let's just ignore it and pretend the problem doesn't exist. After all, patch notes say we fixed it, right?" This is exactly what they've done for numerous other bugs and glitches... they refuse to chime in on the forums and just completely ignore it as if it doesn't exist.

I did not see this issue at all until I logged in today.



seems like bad portal culling or something

Everytime i come back back to the game something else is broken, a friend joined me this time and some newer people, this is just embarrassing. Had this happen multiple times along with the other people.

I guessed this might have something to do with broken mipmapping, so I changed some settings that would skip mipmap levels. I changed it about an hour ago and haven't seen the issue since. If you want to try it out and see if it fixes for you, here's what I did:
(with the game closed)
open Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\UserSettings.txt
find the line that says SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS "X"
and change it to SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS "-2"

Had this happen to me today aswell.

Wayrest Sewers 2 and in the Public Dungeons Sanguine's Demesne.

Please fix. Really annoying.

Itacira

I second that. Should've bothered making screencaps but every single time I was too busy trying to find the exit of whatever cell I was stuck in.

But yes, the more the merrier.

misslexinub19_ESO

yep - had this 3 times today - never happened before. Nice 'fix' Also trying to seal the last breach in Breaches on the Bay - in A'likir, (Leki's Blade) no Augur of the Obscure activating and no breach appearing - though I've watched about 5 other players come and complete this in the same spot. Floors and walls disappeared for me in Sisters of The Sands Inn - don't know if it's connected at all - but just sayin'.

...and again....SInkhole in Summerset.

Does this cause any type of performance issues or add any additional problems? Would be curious to hear from others who have tried it. Appreciate the tip though, seems ZOS cannot fix this problem looks like it's down to players fixing it for them!!

I can confirm - this bug is still alive and kicking.

This is EXACTLY what the Ebony Flask Inn just did. Finding my way to my inn room was fun! NOT! I just kinda kept running & turning slightly until I couldn't run anymore, then slowly panned around. Finally got a wee break where I could see the inn room door, turned my character & ran until the icon appeared to enter. Everything literally disappeared as I stepped on the first step of the staircase.

Yes, it would probably cause a performance drop if you don't have a strong GPU

It happened a few times to me today - I had disappearing interiors before after patch 4.0.8, but it was never this bad. It happened in the Fighters Guild in Shimmerene as well as the Ashalmawia delve.



Nudging the camera a little, the walls, floors and all statics disappeared:

Mystrius_Archaion

I wonder if you zoom in your camera if it does the same?
All these screenshots seem to have in common the problem that the camera is likely clipping with walls or ceilings behind the character.

I haven't see these issues mostly because I play to where the bottom of my screen cuts off the character's feet from view. It's far back enough to see red and anything right behind me but close enough to see my pretty armor.
I saw this issue recently in Shornhelm when I rode my horse under a tree. I couldn't replicate it after though because the position was just right. My camera had clipped through the tree.

There are a lot of bugs back, and new ones.

I get the missing walls, floors, doors also. The game causes display adapter crash and shuts down my machine again. My characters are mouth breathers after mounting a horse. Cyro repairs and wall attacks are a mess, tonight i could not go through a wall that was halfway down on my screen, but was 0% and others were crossing through just fine. Cyro keep doors do not appear to be fully repaired while at 100%. I moonwalk halfway across the cyro map, fall through the ground and end up dead at the wayshrine, if its lock pop I end up in a pve zone dead at the shrine.


Seems like someone doing updates at zos is keeping an old version to push updates recycling bugs and it will take another 4 patches to stop some of these things. Some of these bugs are very old and back again.

It’s the same zoomed in, as well as in first person. I’ve had clipping before, this is not it. The statics disappear altogether and you can walk around the area and statics remain invisible - only reappearing in certain angles, and even so, rarely.

This happened to me too - in Alinor of all places!

Well, it's a good thing I have a 1080ti then.

BUMP for justice.

Shaie

No, it's not wall-clipping. Earlier tonight when we were in delves, the walls not only disappeared BUT rather than textures on the landscape outside the dungeon, it was covered in blue & white checkerboard.

I might try the mip-mapping thing if it happens again tomorrow.

wonder if this is going to stay around for as long as the no sound in pvp, took them months to fix that one

akredon_ESO

yep been getting this issue too. have to reload the game to get it to clear out.

Geekgirl

I am noting that this is occurring within interior dungeons.

I just did Volenfell and the outdoorsy parts were fine, the moment I had to enter inside to pull levers and whathaveyou, no floors or walls.

Wayrest Sewers are particularly fun as there are no walls to help with directions. Heh.

Happened to me in wayrest 2
