I'm a little disappointed with the updates to the Mac client listed on the patch notes. It's more than just NPCs, but EVERYTHING. Hopefully it'll all be fixed, regardless of what the text for it says was fixed.

Why disappointed?
Edit: It's just the way it is worded. It should fix all the graphics issues. it's the same fix as for the MacBook Pro which resolved it al.

Latest on US server maintenance here:

As of noon EDT, we are currently looking at a maintenance completion ETA of 1-2 hours.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. I was hoping they would have maybe expounded on what the patch did for the Mac client, at least in description, in the notes. But, I am hopeful that this will fix the issues.

EDIT: I just realized that I used a form of the word "hope" too many times in that post and it made me laugh.

Hope, hope never changes

I see the US install is updating.

I see NA Megaserver is up again. Any feedback on how it is for MacBook Air with Intel HD5000?

@jc.rosales.medinacub @mkeisu Thanks for confirming the fix works.

Glad you all get to join the Mac ESO fun now

Rain/snow effects no longer effect my character while playing. I still get unknown errors when trying to use a wayshrine or go in/out of a dungeon on occasion, but that doesn't happen nearly as often as it did prior to the update. Occasionally though, after I get one of those, I get stuck in the "infinite loading screen" and usually it ends up with me force quitting the game multiple times and sometimes rebooting my computer to get it to load back into the game. Aside from that, I've been able to play a LOT better since this update.

"Unknown Error" is a known cross-platform issue. ZOS are requesting details to diagnosis on the Customer Service section on this thread:

UNKNOWN ERROR" RECEIVED UPON DISCONNECTING

If you are on wireless network you could try this workaround here.

If you are at a college or other place which may have port blocking check this which suggests opening ports and Firewall here.

Worth opening the ports required by the game:

They updated the list of ports that need to be open for ESO here. Worth doing to avoid issues at launch:

WHAT PORTS DO I NEED TO OPEN TO ACCESS THE GAME?

To best access The Elder Scrolls Online, players should configure their routers to open the following ports:

Ports 24100 through 24131
Ports 24500 through 24507

I suggest opening both TCP & UDP though they are not specific on this, most MMO would use both.

I believe the Launcher install uses other ports but I can’t find any reference for those.

Another cause was an add-on used for blocking spam in chat causing this. The add-on was updated I think but if you have any issues, you want to Disable all Add-ons until the issue is resolved.

For example, Esohead's own add-on caused lag in game until an update was released yesterday. Once you have the game running correctly then enable them again one at a time is safest way.

Worth checking the Customer Service section and PC Tech Support section for any fixes posted.
