The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.

    Yeah, high and stable FPS, coupled with good looks, I really do not see any problem, you should check your hardware perhaps?

    My Nvidia GTS 250 1GB card memory leaks all over the place, and I still get a solid 55-60 FPS with this game. You might want to check your video card or RAM.

    I am astonished that ESO can even run with the sheer number of things it is handling. I really don't have a clue how they pulled it off but the game runs amazingly.

    ESO is NOT using HeroEngine. Where in the world did you get that idea? They made their own in-house engine.

    Ok, I think I found where the OP got that idea. Apparently, Zenimax DID license HeroEngine very early on in development, when ZOS was first formed. They used it to give the artists a head start, while the programmers were working on an engine. They didn't want the artists to have to wait until the programmers had engine code. So they used HeroEngine briefly during that period until they had the custom engine functional enough for the artists to use.

    Here, this explains it.

    Once again, ESO is *not* using HeroEngine.

    You can saw it in the game installer popup screens.

    Because they did use HeroEngine briefly in the early parts of development, thus credit where credit is due and such. There is NO WAY that the live ESO client is using HeroEngine. HeroEngine isn't capable of handling even half the things that ESO has in it...

    But since they DID use HeroEngine for development until the custom engine was ready, they have to state that in the credits.

    Well SWTORversion of HeroEngine, because this is not a actual HeroEngine lol! :)

    And SWTOR coders are pretty lazy and dumb to fix it. :#

    Except ESO is not running on HeroEngine at all. It has a completely custom engine. HeroEngine is mentioned in the credits because *they licensed it and used it for early development*. They didn't want the artists twiddling their thumbs while they waited for the programmers to get the engine ready. So, they licensed HeroEngine and let the artists start developing art with that.

    my computer is pure poop. I can barely play tera and I play at almost ultra (with low shadows) in massive pvp battles with 50+ fps. This is easily the most optimized game I have ever played. Might want to check your rig out.
