Just another dudes opinion:

It's a common critique of this game and known around the Internet that ESO is buggy. Yes, more than it should be even for a new game. I have heard a lot of people complain about the recent patch. You can ask how many players were affected but some players are not around to be asked, they left for something else. My first time in Cyrodiil a few minutes ago, I got DC'd along with my entire raid. Actually it was in my first battle. Bad sign? I hope not.

My consensus is it's a good game in a delicate situation. SWTOR flopped around this far into it's launch. A fair % of the population need to be assured this game wil have staying power before investing more time into developing our crafting, etc.

My worry is that someone high up is cutting back on the number of developers and making the remaining ones try to do too much. Make polished game, cut drastically, leave skeleton crew behind. Move to next game.

Obviously your PC is having an issue with the game. What do you want zenimax to do about it when other people can play just fine? Its not their fault.

My PC, which is absolutely fine, suddenly develops a problem with precisely one piece of software, at the same time as lots of other people develop the same problem, and it's MY fault?

Good grief.

It's not just you, and no him and a multitude of others PC isn't the problem, I keep getting lag and can't login anymore.

Thanks for clarifying to this fool what it takes to release a proper PC game . People will have different hardware developers have to create a game to work across all types of hardware configurations and in this case they FAILED!

It's NOT our computers it's the GAME!

I am having fps issues as well . Not just cyrodiil but craglorn as well . All that fps problems started to occur upon recent patch. Before patch i never ever had single problem with fps or significant lag. If i port outside cyro or craglorn to any other map than my fps goes up to 50 . In Cyro or Craglorn i can run above 30 fps for 30 - 40 minutes then fps starts to do down progressively. When i hit 6-7 fps i restart comp and then again i have 30-40 fps. Obviously its not about computer coz that same computer in same battle can pull 30 fps and because of unknown reason after some time goes down to non playable level. And besides i do play pvp in group of 7-8 people all the time and just two guys doesn't have fps problems.

Glad I quit this hot mess months ago.
Dont get me wrong I had high hopes and really....really wanted this game to be amazing awesome. But all these constant issues I keep reading really deters me from even spending my cash on this crap/resubbing. I didnt buy a collectors edition for $80 to see this game fail sorry.
Sorry for derailing but seriously its people like Tandor and such, is what had me move on to other games and havent regretted. Nothing but trolls, hackers, botters. This game is NOT1999 its freaking 2014 but feels like it was made in 1995 : / so yeah and no offence, Wildstar knows how to make a MMO and Zenimax should learn from that...PERIOD! Ill let you figure that out, because I KNOW TESO is nothing like Wildstar but im saying in general. They know how to deal with real issues.
So yeah, what does all that tell you. Would be interesting to see Zenimax pull some legit numbers of current subscriptions right now to see the real affect from all this bad CS and development.

Good Luck I guess prolly gonna be my last forum post here. Officially done with this game and NEVER gonna resubb.
Cheers

Yeah it's unplayable at the moment. My client is closing every 10 minute getting "Unknown Error". That or it just freezes, forcing me to alt f4.

Can't keep playing like this and I'm not even in Cyrodiil.

Why the hell do they waste resources on making the game look prettier. What type of priorities is that? Fix technical stuff first, make it playable. We don't care about FoV sliders and lighting effects, If we cant even stay online for more than a few minutes.

I like how the mods can edit our posts for ToS violations, but fail to acknowledge the issue and inform their 'beloved' customers.

The forums mods are only forums police and crowd control. They have no ability to get anyone of stature to stop giving the community the silent treatment.

No, Forum Mods are just the lowest in the business hierarchy. It's chain of command. They're supposed to raise such big issues to those above them.

Okay, tried to play again this evening. No crashing out with "Unknown error", which is progress I suppose (although I haven't changed anything on my PC ).

However, Cyrodiil is still unplayable. I'm getting less than 5 FPS and my controls are basically unresponsive, which means a short slide show quickly followed by death at the hands of an unseen enemy.

Waste of my time.

Its not their fault your computer has problems.

My computer is just fine. I have never played such an unstable game before in my life however. It's not as if I'm the only person experiencing these problems this week.

It is probably on your end, outdated hardware or whatever, MMOs has a thing that say requirements may change over time.. due to better looking stuff that woudl perform better on more new or up to date systems.

Unless you can provide any data about your current systems then it is going to be hard for anyone to be able to see what the problem is.

Game for me has been running fine since beta, except for some bugs within the game for an instance, and doubt would have to upgrade it any within the next year or two at all even with other games out there.

My machine is less than a year old. 3.4GHz quad-core i7, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 2TB 7200rpm disk, high-end NVidia card. My machine is more than up to scratch for this game.

And these problems didn't exist until last week.

What windows?... and

Here.
Windows 7 64bit, 3.2Ghz Hexa-Core i7, 16GB Ram, 128gb SSD (O/S) only 750gb SSD for Games, GFX - Nvidia Geforce 690GTX 4GB, Mobo: x79 Asus Sabertooth.

I yet have to have any serious crashes... on a very very rare occation TESO crash on me.. but it is mainly because multitasking outside of the game as well and maybe punishing the system a little to hard.

Edit:
2-3 years old as of current...

Windows 8.1 64 bit.

My machine is relatively new, has a high spec and works perfectly with every other bit of software on it. Lots of people have reported the same issues I am seeing. I didn't have this problem until around a week ago. My machine has not changed in that time. I haven't installed any new software.

So I'm very pleased for you that you aren't having them, but that doesn't mean I'm imagining the problem or that me or my machine are at fault.

Look, I don't mean to be rude, but I honestly do not understand people who come to a support forum and basically tell people - lots and lots and lots of people - who are reporting issues that we are somehow at fault.

I've worked in software development for 20 years. I have two computer science degrees. I've got decades of gaming and PC experience. And I'm very fed up with people telling me I must be at fault when they have no idea.

Do you have any idea how client server relationships work?

Sort of in theory, not sure how it is set in TESO and it can cause lag alike problems in general as well... eg. client is borked... but server is fine.. and it keeps an odd relationship untill a fix.. also the client can be excelent and workign really well, but the server having an issue talking with the client.. on the server itself.

But for crashes... in general should not have anything to do with it.. could be a broken GFX update... a harddrive that is running at its last tier causing corruption.. system overheating and force shutting down...

And if you don't want to read the official threads on known issues to learn whether your problem is being fixed then perhaps you too are also on the wrong website!

I don't buy games for the privilege of spending my free time browsing lists of in-progress issues.

What exactly are your motivations tandor?

Quite simply, to help out where I can, in this case by initially offering some general suggestions and then, when the thread developed to the point where it was obviously the Cyrodil fps problem being discussed (which wasn't the case at the outset), pointing those who are having this problem to the status page where the developers have already said that it is acknowledged and will be fixed on Monday.

It's obvious from the continuing complaints that most people are not following the developer tracker and that even when they believe they have an issue that relates to the last patch they're not checking out the official thread that lists the known issues and the status of any fixes, and so I'm simply trying to alert them to it:-

http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/114325/patch-v1-2-3-known-issues/p1

I don't do it in order to be thanked for pointing people in the right direction, but I don't do it to be abused either, so it's unlikely I'll bother to do it again. As I've said before, I hope your problem is indeed resolved on Monday.

First, Wildstar is the name of the game, not the developer or publisher. And second, yes, Carbine knows how to make the 724. WoW clone. They even got the graphics more colorful and ugly than the original. If you love this, I totally can understand why you had problems to find your way in TESO.
