Performance Update? Game feels smoother

mrfrontman

Hi guys, just curious if I'm the only one experiencing this cause people I've asked have said they don't notice a difference.. Ever since the last maintenance my game has been running a LOT smoother in trials and dungeons. In trials my frames would drop to about 30FPS (on a high end rig mind you) and now my frames are at a constant 80-90 FPS in trials. There are occasional drops to 50-60 but it feels SO smooth now. I didn't read anything about an optimization patch within the last week so I'm curious if there was a patch or not.

Either way, I'm extremely happy and the game feels so good now, please don't change whatever was fixed.

I do notice a difference. I'm voicing when ever I'm dissatisfied, so why not point out something positive I've noticed. Yay!
It's not, however, a constant feel, at times it dips, sure but the overall feeling is smoother.

I would say in general yes... However I actually came to the forums now to see if anyone else has issues.

BlueRaven

For me the problems are worse then ever. Particularly in southern elswyr.

Frequent game crashes and FPS drop rates down to single digits is what my game is like now.

It played much better a year ago.

I saw title and thought this was sarcasm. The performance update, just like the fix to dungeon finder which broke dungeon finder more, has done nothing for me but further hinder performance

JPS

Ofcourse its smoother... Dungeon finder still doesnt work, guild finder doesnt even work, so everything else is smoother. Makes sense to me...

EDIT: And no I'm not being sarcastic... Stuff don't work = less calls to DB = smoother...

Not for me, it's worse in Elswyr, LA and skills not firing half the time, my latency at 3am was 56 then jumps to 175 then back again, when LA and skills do fire a good percentage go through or don't register damage, when stood bang in front of highlighted target, trying to do DPS at present is just tiresome, so craft dailies only for me.

Guild finder not working etc, so no it's not any better, placebo effect I think for some.

There is nothing wrong with the game it work fine as it should.
The real problem is the hardware you guy have.
Thee is no graphicscard at the marked you can run smoth with Elder Scroll Online, so we just need to wait to the make some grapgics card who can run the game.

Today it feels horrible

Weekend + that event : (

Great, now you jinxed it, OP.

Kidding, kidding. The game actually has been running smoother for me too, with fewer freezes and crashes, even faster loading screens. Admittedly I haven't tried grouping or done any dungeons lately, so I can only comment on the base functionalities. Still, if they did do something to the game to make it run smoother, they did good.

Hope it stays this way. *knock wood*

Got headache from playing in Cyrodiil,drops to 20fps when things got busy.

It's just you. On PS4 / NA yesterday, my game crashed twice, once in Southern Elsweyr, and once in Cyrodiil. Blue Screen crashes, which I rarely see on other PS4 games. And froze once trying to fast travel from wayshrine in Southern Elsweyr to wayshrine in Northern Elsweyr.

Glad it is working for you. Hope ZOS fixes it for others.

lol I had a good laugh at some of the comments here (the joke comments I mean, not insulting anyone there).

Good to know some other people notice it too. Sorry to hear about the ones who aren't experiencing the increase in performance. I wasn't trolling though, since the maintenance the other week, the game has been running really smooth for me in all areas - dungeons, trials, cyrodill, towns.. basically everywhere - especially in my home now, I was on 70-80FPS before and now I'm on a stable 100 inside my home - this is with a LOT MORE furniture than I had earlier too.

FierceSam

Not for me Jeff.

I’m still experiencing lag, snapback, rubber banding, low to no FPS, skills not firing, blah blah the list goes on.

U24 has to be the most unproductive set of performance updates yet.

Oh wait.....

It’s crashed...

Again.

As an aussie I would KILL for 175 ping.

Not to be a Debbie downer but pvp feels even worse than before. My group still blue screening nonstop and I’ve lagged out every single fight. 5 times in the past hour.

And I am hard wired with bis internet

tplink3r1

Not only the game runs a little better, but the servers seem to be a little better too, i can't even remember when was the last time i have got disconnected during a large battle, and this was a common thing for me.

weedgenius

I'm seeing all the threads about the performance being worse after the most recent update but that hasn't been my experience. I was dealing with huge asset delays and blue screens before the patch, but I played tonight in high population dragon events and everything was much better. I do have issues with my skills firing after the patch but the performance overall is improved. I'm on a base ps4.

Eiregirl

My experience has been that with every "performance fix" the games performance gets worse.

Nice try i just tried to log in to get daily awards and got kicked 3 times before getting in like wow thats worse before i got to travel before it happened

I honestly can’t believe this op in the slightest. If anyone tells you it’s got any better on console they are straight up lying. It’s literally only gotten worse.

Nobody said anything about console, you've got to be pretty small minded to come on forums and accuse people of lying.
"omg it doesn't work for me so they MUST be lying!!!"

Please, give me a f- break.
