FPS=3 in PvP, when will NA server be hotfixed for this?

onlinegamer1 · June 2014

Game is unplayable (PvP is end game and all that matters) after patch. FPS goes to 3 in any combat.

Standard disclaimer: There weren't any Evil Gnomes that broke into my house and replaced my PC which worked fine in PvP 24 hrs ago with a bad one just as the patch was released. This is not my PC or my internet connection or addons or whatever other excuse you want to invent. This is a v1.2.3 bug.

So, when will the NA server be Hotfixed for this?

Edit: Wabbajack campaign, fyi.

From what I noticed, there's an issue with light sources. I know that when you cast a spell, you essentially, create a temporary one. What it seems to me, is not all of these light sources are dissipating. Mage's Light, and the flame trails from the Firepot Trebuchet seem to be the worst sources of said lights. I'm not a dev, not do I have years of experience in the field, this is just what I noticed happen every time right before my fps were to drop, be it my own cast, or someone else's.

I have noticed this as well. Many lights in the game are bugged, and kills the fps completely to less than 10 fps on a strong pc (gtx 780, 4ghz etc)

Hey guys, we added awesome interior lighting (it really does look good)! Unfortunately though, we broke exterior lighting, sorry!

Need update on this from ZoS

They have poor programmers.

Might be kinda fun if they just cut all daylight until it can be fixed. Call it "The week of darkness" or something.

Yup, it's making PvP unplayable and it's the only thing left for me.

It must be that new "Lighting" they added, its messing everything up.

sad part is that DEVs have not posted on this. there should be a post top of forums letting people know they are working on this. but no, once again ZOS does not care about the player base. The constantly aim to please the one that TROLL and QQ all over the forums, people that put worthless pages of forum chat, and the good posts fall to the back burner and you have to search hard to find answers or help to problems forever because of poor tech support that says change your dx vers from 11 to 9.

To be fair, they broke interior lighting, as well.

We've had half a dozen people the last 2 nights that couldn't do trials because of this same issue. I even see it going in to normal buildings when my fps drops from 99 to 50.

Oh wow, look at this - http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/114325/patch-v1-2-3-known-issues

It's the top forum post and mentions the FPS drop.

See, this is exactly how I can tell who is here only to complain... And there are lots of people who seem to be focused only on pointless complaining. I'm all for constructive criticism and voicing legitimate grievances, but this is nothing more than trolling.

And ironically, it's the likes of you and not poor Zeni decisions that make logging into ESO less fun.

Yes i seen that, a Sea of Red, only 1 green, good job ZoS, but before we fix anything lets add more content and break what wasnt broken. Thumbs up,

Changed your tune, ey? If you've seen that, why did you complain that they're not even mentioning it, huh?

Also - with something this big and fresh, things are bound to go bad when things go live and anybody who thinks otherwise is nothing more than naive.

You think this happens only to MMOs? Hohoho, think again. I can still remember how world media were making fun of 'improved' (horribly broken) map system in new IOs for iPhone as well as other funny things that happen with new software updates.

It's just the natural order of things and seriously - compared to other things that happened to me when I've decided to risk it and buy freshly released hardware/software, what happens in ESO is nothing.
