Mac performance and stability fixes

demerdecanswrath

I was wondering if and when there will be any performance and stability improvements on the Mac client. ESO is notoriously bad on macOS, from head scratching low FPS, to the occasional crashing (although mitigated subtly the past few months), stupendously outdated 32-bit Launcher and a packaged eso.app from 2013 with all the UI inconsistencies and mouse glitches you can ask for.

I get that there's lots of checks and balances regarding the development process for every aspect of the client (ranging from PvP adjustments to the new class and even the new in-game books), but macOS users are being marketed a game they're currently unable to experience in the most basic sense.

ZoS, some engagement with us on the matter please?

P.S.: I will not "get a PC", or even use Boot Camp. Let's talk solutions, not preferences.

What is your MAC specs because the game does not even run optimally on a high end PC on 4k? You must run one of those core i9 MACs that they released and maybe put a blower fan on it so that it does not throttle over-throttles less under high load.

I am not on a mac but I run an 8th gen i7 clocked at 5GHz on all cores with water cooling and a GeForce 1080Ti and I still get low FPS at some situations in some raids at 1080p.

MACs are UNIX based so if developers start supporting more games on Linux that trend will also be applied for MACs too. For now as MAC and Linux gaming is a small niche developer support is very limited to those platforms as they do not generate enough profit for the large corporations.

The games function and performance is notably worse on a Mac. There are good number of bugs that don’t even exist in the Windows version. I play primarily on Windowns but travel for work with my MacBook and before I even can play I need to check and uncheck the permissions under the security tab in order to stop the camera from spinning around every time I log in. This has been going for a long time, maybe more than a year now? Beyond that the game functions less smoothly, gets much worse FPS even at lower graphics settings and generally looks worse aesthetically imo.
