Game is unplayable. Windows 7 laptop, LOWEST settings. (NEVER green FPS)

Smasherx74

So, this game is pretty much unplayable at this point. It's so discouraging to get on this game and try to enjoy my self, when the only possible way I can play the game is to have the settings on the very minimum and the screen resolution set to the very lowest. And I still get 14-21FPS in citys and out in the world SOMETIMES i'll hit above 25fps. When in citys specifically, the lag is worst and If I go too fast or don't wait for things to render I will get stuck in/under buildings, rocks, etc... and the collision in this game is both ways, sowhen your stuck your stuck unlike other MMOs where u can just jump out if you get stuck. No, in this one you have to PAY money to get unstuck (as you literally have to kill your self, which takes armor damage). And not to even mention the constant FREEZING, where my game will literally freeze up for a few seconds. And this has happen in several situations where my group in a dungeon has died, or I have died as a result. There is a few specific quests that make you follow something through a city, and those type of quests are 100% impossible for me, as my game will FREEZE and the game will fail me for not keeping up with the person im suppose to follow. With Staffs its even worst, they never work and the yare actually DELAYED like several seconds to a entire min. I also receive delays in my characters sound effects, and in game sound effects.

I'm not sure about my exact specs,
Processor: AMD e-450 apu with radeon HD Graphics 1.65 ghz
Ram: 4gb

That's all I know from looking at computer properties. I can't believe this game wont run properly on this laptop, I got rid of my alienware which ran game on ultrasettings during the beta because it had manufacturing issues and now I'mon this computer again.

So can the ESO Team work on solving this problem? I can't imagine my self playing this game up to level 50 at this point. I'm probably not going to subscribe for this game. I feel that this game, is no where near finished enough to be released. I have came into countless bugs playing the game, I've lost gold and items with your trading design, and not on my own fault but the game actually glitching out and not sending me or the other player the item or gold WHEN they were obviously in the trade when we both hit trade

Syndiaan

Your computer is absolutely terrible dude that is the problem...

Worstluck

Yeah no offense, there isn't anything the ESO team can do. If you want playable FPS you need a better computer.

Syndiaan

Let me give you a better perspective.

I run on an 8-core processor overclocked at 5.5 GHz with liquid cooling, a Sabertooth 990FX R2 motherboard, 16 gigs of ram at 2400 MHz, 4 GB video ram. In PvE I run at 60 FPS constantly but in PvP sieges I run at about 15 - 25 FPS.

Your $400 laptop is not going to cut it dude, nothing the devs can do about it

smosti

F***k I hate these threads!
People with outdated crappy systems crying because they can't play above bare minimum settings.

Your system is absolute junk!. If I sold my graphics card alone I could buy 2 of your laptops! It's not built for games! That's the type of laptop you buy for schooling and writing essays in microsoft word

Tell your mummy and daddy to by you a new pc for christmas and stop sooking and stating the game is broken.

ffs im going to troll in here soooo hard to get this stupid thread closed

krilleyy95

Low fps - *** pc
Freezing - *** pc

Not sure if troll, or el stupido.

This computer can run World of Warcraft 100% Fine, just as any other computer I've had can. This computer can ALSO run OBLIVION AND MORROWIND (without tons of mods) completely and 100% without issues. Skyrim, I dont have as STEAM wants to steal 60 dollars from me when I already bought the game in the real world.

So, if this game is SOOOO demanding, why isn't it posted ANYWHERE? I mean seriously, the game is decent, but it's definitely not WORTH 60 dollars and an additional 15 a month. Due to the over pricing of this game, they should create a version the utilizes resources as effectively as possible so I'm not dieing in the middle of mob battles because I freeze for a whole 30seconds.

Sorry son, but I work my ass off unlike you spoiled mainstream middle class family. The game is broken, if it is going to freeze every 5 seconds and give me script errors (without even having any addons). This computer isn't outdated, it was built in 2009 I believe. You should stop trying to provoke people before someone lashes back at you, and believe me you don't want that from some of the people out

You're obviously the troll here.
Freezing = *** Game, not PC. I've never had a problem with any games actually freezing and hardcore game to server delays as much as this one. We aren't in the beta anymore, these things should not be happening.

Seriously, zenimax you have to clean your forum support up. This is absolutely ridiculous on your behalf. You guys are representing bethesda, and I was always a Bethesda fanboy, until ESO that is.

[ The minimum system requirements for the game on PC are: ]

— Operating System: Windows XP 32-bit
— Processor: Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor
— Memory: 2GB System RAM
— Hard Disk Space: 60GB free HDD space
— Video Card: DirectX 9.0 compliant video card with 512MB of RAM (NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 / ATI Radeon™ 2600 or better)
— Sound: DirectX compatible sound card.

Your graphics card does not meet minimum system requirements.

Endolith

Yeah. No need to be rude about it, but it is true, that computer is not ever going to run the game properly, even on low settings. If you look up reviews on that CPU and graphics chip set you'll see they say it is good for office work and viewing media files and that's about it.

dawnhawk

Sorry to say it, but as harsh as they are... They are correct. Your laptop is not up to the game.

Wow is 10 years old... And even with the new expansions they have done their best to keep the requirements as low as possible because people refuse to update their systems.

Morrowind is 12 years old.

Oblivion is 8 years old.

Are you noticing the trend?

The games min specs are available. You don't met them.

You need better graphics. And at least double the ram wouldn't hurt.

A computer... Especially a laptop... Is outdated before it ever leaves the store. Yours is 5 years old. It doesn't owe you or anyone anything.

If you want to play new games you need to have a newer system. Preferably at least one from this decade.

Endolith

Yeah, the minimum specs are available when you buy. I can run WoW on a six year old laptop I keep as a backup but it would never run this game. The games you are citing are old, and I'm sure are able to run, but ESO is never going to be able to. You should at least upgrade to hit minimum specs, and preferably a good deal beyond.

You have got to be the dumbest c**t I've ever come across.

You're stating you office work laptop which was built in 2009 should be able to play eso in 2014. Gaming laptops built in 2009 would struggle to play eso! Its 2014 dude! 5years outdate junk. Not to mention your laptop was junk back when it came out in 2009!

Not only does your gpu not meet minimum requirements. ..your CPU DOESN'T EITHER!

If you're a tight arse and don't want to upgrade..kindly, unsubscribe and gtfo of here.

There's a bunch of idiots in this forum that loves to shove their high specs and diminish others. My dinossaur pc can make same as your supercomputer and for the likes of it even better since I run Cyrodiil without a bit of lag. My specs:

Athlon II X2 250
GT 440 1GB
4GB Ram (not entirely used)
Windows 7 32-bit

No overclock, no overheat, no crash, can bring up any browser to look for game information whilst playing it and even watch youtube videos about economics at the same time, messengers, etc etc.

The game was said to be optimized for old machines and I'm proof of that. Some *** will spend their entire savings on super computers and tell others go buy too, you suck! It's pretty ridiculous really, my PC 5 years old run this game on ultra like a silk, as all other ES.

I advice you buy a desktop PC, the cheapest you can afford with some decent graphic cards, don't have to be a supercomputer, I can't tell you about prices because I don't live in US, but since the technologies came from there should be cheaper than most places.

If you can't, tuning down all settings should help, maybe clean up your system, optimize it. Some tweaks can do miracles.

Here my suggestions:

See to my thread about possible freezes:
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/64987/freezing#latest

A simple change in the ini file transformed my game experience.

Also find a program called Wise Game Booster, is a freeware that optimizes your system and get rid of useless or memory consuming processes, all can be done with one click. So you don't have to be a computer genius without a life.

Don't let people push you against a wall because of your PC specs or assume stuff about your life since they don't even know you, a person that makes such statement is likely be the spoiled brat with a rich family.

I do same or better of what you do with less than you have to use. That's the best answer to those elitists.

It is obvious now that he is just trolling, move on.

This dude must be his brother? rofl.

@Joolio .. He doesn't meet MINIMUM gpu or cpu specs. Nothing can save his junk laptop. Needs to go in a bin

Now...let me get back to enjoying max capped frames in ultra settings with max view distance...ahhhhhhh eso is so much better for us "spoilt rich people" lol

Endolith

Desktop would certainly be better I think. I built my desktop about six years ago and it runs ESO fine on highest settings. Graphics card upgraded a couple years ago, but not to an elite model.

Another idiotic assumption. I'm not his brother and you are one of the idiots I'm talking about. The point here is stop harassing people and rightfully guide them to a good solution, be it buy another rig but don't humiliate them over it. Yes gonna enjoy some more ESO now in ultra settings with max view distance with less money spent.

Correct. Desktop's are more versatile. At least you can easily swap parts out instead of throwing the whole thing in the bin and buying a complete new system.

Shed some light on the 5yo cpu you're running. This dude is claiming he should be able to run eso but his cpu doesn't even meet minimum req. It's because his laptop was never meant for gaming even when it went on sale in 2009.

e-450 1.6ghz. Lmfao...my phone has a stronger processor...

I'm running the AMD Phenom II 965, which came out in 2009. 3.4 GHz. I've also got 8 GB RAM. The graphics card is a GeForce GTX 650. So even though the computer is relatively old (except the graphics card), it's got what it needs to run ESO well.

Endolith

BTW: I agree about the OP's laptop. When you buy a game whose minimum specs exceed your hardware, you have to expect that it's not going to run well.

See...the difference is, even though your cpu is from 2009, it exceeds the minimum requirement of 2GHz. Also, a GTX 650 is more then capable of playing eso. Boat loads more power then this dudes generic gpu.

You don't need to sell your kidneys to afford a pc to enjoy this game at playable settings. But you WILL need to upgrade if you're not reaching minimum specs. You can't be below the minimum or even borderline ( @Smasherx74 is well below), you need to be above the minimum to play hassle free.

You can build an eso capable machine above the minimum requirements with $600.

BOARD - $70
RAM - $100
GPU - $150
CPU - $200
CASE - $50
OPTICAL - $30

Done.
