Some animated fire/smoke furnishings stop displaying the animation
Bug report: Some animated lighting/smoke furnishings stop displaying the animation.
For several months, esp since Deadlands, certain, seemingly random furnishings stop displaying their animation.
Examples that exhibit this behavior: "Breton Chamberstick, Tall", "Leyawiin Censer, Iron Stand", "Lewawiin Censer, Serpents", Elsweyr Incense Burner, Branched Brass", "Alchemical Apparatus, Master", "Leyawiin Brazier, Iron", "Leyawiin Firepit, Stone".
For example, I place the furnishing and the fire animation is working. When I return to the property, the light is being emitted but no fire/smoke animation. In all situations, the option presented when I notice this behavior is to "Extinguish", informing me the item should be "lit". In some cases, re-lighting the item gets it working, though certain items only restart the animation when I switch from 3rd-person to first-person view.
So far, I've noticed this in Sweetwater Cascades and Seaveil Spire, though those are where most of my housing time has been spent recently.
I'll re-light the items, leave the property, and then upon return, they may or may not be working. Consistently though, these items tend to stop animating over a couple of visits.
I've verified this behavior with NO addons running.
My PC and ESO run super-clean, and I see no other related artifacts that might lead me to believe it's a graphics driver or system issue per se.
PC/NA/Win10
Happy to help with troubleshooting steps, but would really like to see this solved. Housing is an amazing and appreciated part of ESO. Thank-you!

✭✭It's the same on PlayStation. Most of my braziers, and even my music box, don't work, even though they're activated. I have to turn them off and then back on every time. It's really annoying for the ones that I place inside a statue for a fancy effect. I have to retrieve it, place it, turn it off, turn it on, and then put it back. It's one of the reasons I just stopped caring about housing.0 -
Follow-up - July 2022:
I've built a new gaming rig and installed the game from scratch. All HW and fresh SW installs, with identical behavior, eliminating the possibility of local cache corruption. Furnishing animations are still buggy.
Add Cadwell's Amazing Portal to the defective list - I get NO response now from this in two separate residences. It used to work in both.
I've spent significant real dollars (Crowns) on housing and furnishings, but this bugginess has me loosing interest.
I'm usually a vocal advocate for the ESO dev teams. Give them time to find and solve such problems I say.
But without any ability to know if my/our voice is heard, perhaps this is misguided? It's frustrating.0
