The super low frame rates started today...

I am not sure what happened. Through beta I've had no issues, fps were in the 50's. Early start, same same. This morning I had no issues till about 3pm HST (hawaii standard time) when the lag got worse and fps dropped. At 10pm HST the game was unplayable...10 fps. I even dropped everything down to low settings...still 10 fps.

Now I do not have the fastest machine or the newest but I haven't had game breaking issues till now. Below are my specs but considering the abrupt change in playability I am going to point back to ESO itself as the problem:

Radeon HD 5850
Intel i7 920
6gb Memory
Win 7 (64 bit)
All drivers current

    I too am also suffering this problem
    Win 8.1 x64 Pro, i7 2600k, ATI 6970, 16Gig of RAM

    what i have noticed is the same starts about 18% ram usage.. as it gets towards the 25% (4Gig limit) the FPS drops dramatically

    i usually start around 50+ fps but the time im at 25% usage the fps has dropped to around 6 fps.. game is basically unplayable.. i allowed it to continue a couple of times and it eventually ends in a crash

    my system is freshly installed (yesterday) all drivers are up todate
    Video (Catalyst 14.3), Sound(Logitech g930 - LGS 8.52), LAN (Realtek GBE net driver Install_Win8_8.1_8026_03212014), USB, Intel INF all done..

    i have NO addons installed initially figured that was the problem.. but have since deleted all addons and still having the same issue

    I sometimes bug out of nowhere into the developer realm (as i've come to call it), where you can see all the unfinished stuff, but i do however get my framerates into oblivion when i'm there, and no matter if i get back to the main world, i need to do a full restart of the game.

    So it's mostly an issue with the engine.
    Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick, it's a very delicate state of mind.

    I had that today as well (world was flat and unfinished at one spot when I moved forwards, moved backwards and world was there again - didn't do a full restart after and just relogged). That could explain why my fps dropped oddly.

    Running on ultra with an i7 2600k @4.6GHz and a gtx780sc acx, so my computer usually runs game well but noticed a good 30-50fps drop (my fps went from 50-99fps suddenly down to 30-55fps) depending on area after playing a while. And I suddenly got weird jitters when loading into an indoors area (even saw fps drop to 9fps for a split second).

    Have you tried alt-tabbing out and closing the launcher?
    Does it help?

    This game hates us alt-tabbing, things go pear shaped after tabbing out. Always keep the launcher closed after game client starts up.

    doesnt help for me on phenom x6/gtx 760/8gb ripjaw
    i might try a gamebooster to make the game use all the resources all the time, it seems like it doesnt use them probably because of the fullscreen bug? idk...

    The same problem. FRAPS shows sometimes 9-14 FPS. Yesterday everything was OK, 80-100 FPS.

    Thanks for the comments and glad (or...sad really) to see it isn't just me. It is covering a range of systems and it seems the higher in rigs are still playable but it still is a unsatisfactory situation. This happens when new games start up, bugs and what not, I understand this but I do hope that they address this soon.

    This is the problem I have been complaining about all over the forums, I am glad to start seeing more of an out cry. Hopefully they will address us soon
