Multithreaded rendering freezes game

Dovahkiin02191973

I get the same. Freezes the game after I click Login. I am on a major potato PC. Play in default Low settings. Looks like it doesn't matter about the settings and other stuff from reading other posts. This option just doesn't work in its current state. Until it does I am leaving it off.

Game still freezes for me on startup, if Multi-threaded render is enabled

I enabled on my PC with an intel 4790 and RTX 2070 and it hangs after switching from the login page to the loading screen.

I'm also having the same freeze problem; it freezes on the load screen after login but before character select. Graphics settings are in the image below. I'm running an Intel i5-4690 (not OC at all) and an NVidia RTX 2070.

Also having this issue.
CPU is Ryzen 9 3900x
GPU - Asus STRIX GTX 980
32 GB RAM @ 3200 MHz
Asus TUF X570 Mobo

No overclock.

Running at max settings in 2560 x 1440 resolution.

Going to test the NVIDIA multithread setting to see if that's affecting it.

Okay so the NVIDIA Threaded Optimization setting had no effect. Watched my performance at the time of the loading screen freeze and found that GPU usage instantly drops to zero, while network and HDD usage drop to zero as well but sometimes jump a little to 0.1 Mbps and 0.1 MB/s respectively. CPU utilization is hovering around 6% and Memory usage is around 24 MB. Seems like my CPU isn't sending draw calls at all.

PTS crashes consistently upon login for me also when MTR is enabled.

Running a Ryzen 9 5900x, Nvidia FE 3080 Ti, 32 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 mhz Ram, DOCP enabled, Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero x570 MB. No PBO or manual OC applied.

Settings are all at maximum, vsync off, exclusive fullscreen, capped frame rate in user settings to 240, 3840x2160 resolution

Multithreaded rendering works for me since todays PTS update (https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/7345159/#Comment_7345159 ), and it works good, really good.

I tested it a bit by doing the Nightmare Plateau world boss in Northern Elsweyr.
Without multithreaded rendering my FPS were really unstable, between 40-100FPS, mostly between 50 and 80 FPS.
With multihreaded rendering my FPS were pretty stable, between 80-100FPS.

I have an i7-6700K and a RX 5700XT and I'm playing with the settings depicted below. I also have to say that I'm playing on Linux, so my FPS without multithreaded rendering are probably a lot more unstable than on Windows. Anyways, for me it's a massive improvement and I can't wait to see this feature getting out of PTS!

Can confirm it's working for me on "maximum" setting

AMD Ryzen 5600X & AMD 6800 XT

Haven't had a chance to benchmark anything yet though

Sidereum

Whenever I switch from Off to On and then restart the game to apply the changes, once I'm in the game again, it sets itself automatically to "Off" again. Am I doing something wrong?

I also just tested multithreaded rendering on Windows 10, again i7-6700K + RX 5700XT, graphics set to "Maximum", Nightmare Plateau world boss.
Without multithreaded rendering my FPS were a lot more stable than on Linux, but still ranging from 66-100FPS, 95% of the time they were above 75.
With multithreaded rendering my FPS were insanely stable, most of the time 100FPS, with occasional drops to 96-99 FPS, with the absolute minimum being 94FPS once.

@Sidereum I did it exactly as you described and it works for me, so unfortunately I don't know what's going on there

Protoavis73

Working over here.
Enabled it before logging in and set graphics quality on max.
Exclusive fullscreen, vsync off, SSGI 2560x1440

Windows 10 21H1
Intel i8700K
GTX 1080Ti

Played Dread Cellar until 1st boss, fps looks alright though haven't tested it thoroughly.

Sordidfairytale

Working here, at max settings, 60+ FPS however still getting a core staying above 95% most of the time. I had GPU and overall CPU tracking as well, and it turns out MSI Afterburner has an issue labeling the graphs properly so it is possible I was seeing overall GPU tracking instead of a core. Here is an updated image with 32 cores performing rather nicely.

Update: It's working for me too now


Anyway, is Multithreaded Rendering coming exactly with the Waking Flame DLC or much later?

Question for people who tried this feature: did you monitor your GPU temperature during it? I wonder how much does GPU temperature increase while using this feature.

Please note if you have this option enabled, you may hear your PC graphics cards working hard during loading screens. This is expected with the framerate now being uncapped during loading.

If you don't want have trouble with graphic cards like this situation with New World, just set hard cap in your graphic card settings. I don't now how it is with AMD, but for Nvidia I set cap in Nvidia Control Panel - I have 144 HZ monitor, so I set cap to 144 fps, because I will never need more and with this value there shouldn't be any disaster. It also saves some energy when you block maximum power of card in situations where it's not needed.

votan73

After a loading screen the framerate panel (/fps) is going down to cap from 384-410 fps

Lengthy Lua acition (like sorting a bigger table) still freezes rendering.

It wasn’t New World itself that caused the problem with the cards; it was what happened to expose a pre-existing fault with their manufacturing.

Setting a frame rate cap or undervolting might indeed help protect your card in case you received a faulty example and could be a good idea especially if you’re out of warranty. If you’re within warranty, however, you might actually want to find out if your card (especially a 3080/3090) has this fault now rather than after the warranty expires.

I did not notice anything, normal max temps. Got a very nice boost in performance though, hope it hits live soon.

Why uncap the frame rate during loading screens? is there some benefit to this?

Indeed. I get that some milliseconds can be cut from loading time on SSDs, but really?

Does the nVidia control panel setting "Background Applications Max Frame Rate" have any effect on this ESO setting? Like if I have it at 60fps will the loading screen still have uncapped fps? Does anyone know?

https://www.makeuseof.com/nvidias-driver-suite-important-settings/

Background Application Max Frame Rule. Basically, you can set a maximum framerate for an app (a game for example) that only activates if you are tabbed out and no longer playing the game.

In the NVIDIA settings the Max Frame rate setting should have a effect on the game when it is in the focused window, as it has an effect in every other game I have. just be sure to check set it in the Global and the Program area, as the Program one will over ride the Global.

I would like to see more from ZOS as to what setting will effect it. Hopefully there will be couple of changes to the various performance tweak guides shortly after this goes live.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Was this new multithread rendering added to the Mac client? I'm asking because I do not see that new option in the video settings...

No, this is currently only available on PC.

Are we EVER going to get to see it, or is this just the first in the distancing of ESO from us Mac gamers??
