FIX THE DAMN PERFORMANCE ISSUES

Grim13 · June 2014

My hope is that they've finally bothered to test a patch with today's one.

ESOcrafter · June 2014

Well just played for a little bit and I haven't noticed any improvement in the zone I was in (Glenumbra). In fact it seems worse, inside the Rosy Lion I went from 60fps to 40fps. Something isn't right and I hope ZOS figures it out ASAP.

On a side note prior to patch 1.2.3 I ran at a smooth 60fps (vysnc) in every zone I played in since EA and now it's not smooth at all. I constantly drop 20 fps here and there.

Laura · June 2014

i'll see if they fixed the FPS drops on the wisp mother and other trial areas tonight I have a feeling they didn't

ArconSeptim · June 2014

Yeah something which is Universal and shared for every zone in the game including Cyrodiil is causing this, most likely these new textures and lighting system issues!
And don't to mention memory leaking and slow environment loading.

Patch notes are blaming the resto staff.... I'm a little skeptical.

Caduryn · June 2014

mh.....sitting in a bank with 40+ Players spamming Restro does absolutly nothing to my fps....

SilverWF · June 2014

Now even without any groups my FPS in the Cyro was dropped to 20 (from 50-60) - how the hell I can play with this FPS? And then in fight FPS dropped to 10, game freezed and crash...
And this is was only 30x30 battle! ><

WTF?

Recommended requirements:
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit or Windows 8 64-bit
Processor: Quad Core 2.3GHz or equivalent processor
Memory: 4GB System RAM
Hard Disk Space: 60GB free HDD space
Video Card: Direct X 11 compliant video card with 2GB of RAM (NVIDIA® GeForce® 560 Ti / ATI Radeon™ 6950 or better)
Sound: DirectX compatible sound card

My current:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
i5 3570k @ 3.4 GHz
16 GB RAM
Game installed at SSD (and there is still 60 GB free)
Gigabyte ATI 7950, 3 GB

And my game is not at Ultra settings! I have "High" only for textures and subsampling, all another is "off" (if possible) or "Low". Also I've maxed visibly distance.
Screen resolution is 1920*1080

When Zenimax will made this game playable?

V3ntoux · June 2014

The game is unplayable. 8 fps is unacceptable.
ZOS your about to loss your most loyal followers.

The same here
FPS drops even in the PVE!
Most common place: Stormhaven main town. If it in LOS - get ready to 20-25 FPS instead of 50 before

8 is awesome. I was getting 1 last night.

jambam817_ESO · June 2014

I've got a GTX 780 and a I5 3570K OCed at 4.2 and still get the drop to 40, sometimes 30 FPS in cities, interiors and open world PVE out of no where after this last patch. Its pretty disheartening, That was one thing i gave this game props for was the great performance (besides in PVP)

wllstrt75b14_ESO · June 2014

yeah its too bad these devs are clueless...atleast they upped the fps from 3 to 12 in cyrodil..I guess thats an improvement in zenicraps mind...

sigh.

Yep ever since the content release with the new lighting I have had severe performance issues both in cyro and landscape questing. Slow rendering and low fps and the problem worsens as on-screen demand grows. Having problems with crowds and high graphic situations where I had none before said patch.

8 minutes ago after the alleged fix...

ESOcrafter · June 2014

Just admit the lighting isn't where you wished it was in terms of performance and cut your losses ZOS by removing the new lighting and going back to the older but better performing setting.

To be honest the new lighting isn't something I care about. What I care about is performance and I'm losing some. Performance was something I applauded you guys for but now not so much.

tengri · June 2014

Ok, you had a week grace time.
You could not hack it - give me back my old stable 60fps-everywhere-lightning NOW!
I am not paying my monthly fee to beta test for you your new lightning engine or whatever that crap should be/become!

coryevans_3b14_ESO · June 2014

I have to agree, adding that "new lighting affect" was so stupid. Just moronic. Incredibly half-witted. So dumb.

Why would you knowingly break stuff before you fix stuff?

It's these issues that are quickly eroding any faith that I had left in ZOS.

Well.....yeah, they got a fix, but are waiting for next Week.....

Funny, isnt it?

Any other MMO would suddnly shut down and fix, really any, but ZOS..... they dont care.

You sir hit the nail on the head.
I'm a very loyal ES fan. I suppose I lean more towards bethesda than ZoS itself.
Either way this is getting beyond "new IP" problems.

ArconSeptim · June 2014

Now we come to the question who will compensate all these days of this nonsense, you must agree that all these issues greatly violated our gameplay experience, idk really how to feel after all this....

Nebthet78 · June 2014

Yea.. this new patch today broke more for me and didn't fix anything. I walk into a bank and three quarters of the environment doesn't load and I see a another player walking way above me in the sky..
Load screen are long and lag is really bad too.

This needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY. I'm amazed that ZOS isn't taking this seriously and continues to blame our computers, addons, and settings. IT'S NOT ON OUR END.

o_0 · July 2014

Takes a few hundred replies before they even will consider looking into things....by the way, i'm also having this problem since the patch.

era5or · July 2014

Well look at it this way guys and girls, we all just sub another month not long ago, so guess what, they dont give a **** . I like most others paid over £100 for the pre order with statue etc and now the games gone to crap...

If its not resolved within the next 48hrs, im seriously going to be going over your terms of service and eula word by word.. and I kid you not I will get my money spent back.

!!!!!URGENT ATTENTION!!!!!
FIX the FPS issue our you will lose all your toys Zenimax!

Nebthet78 · July 2014

I just experienced my first crash ever!!!! I sent in the crash report with it.... Something is definitely wrong since the patch today.

ArconSeptim · July 2014

We are here like playing hide n seek really. Something has been changed in the core game, something which is responsible for loading environments around the player, also and I think some textures have been changed with this lighting system, which added new renderer which is obviusly not supported for this game.

All these people having the same issues is sign that you made a "little" mistake from last few patches guys, being that in software and hardware you curently run.

era5or · July 2014

Figured it be fare to share with all you others out there thinking exactly the same...

I have today canceled my account subscription because your online game is no longer playable due to your ongoing fps issue for well over a week now. Everything is fine untill I try to use an ability or someone near me does, then FPS drops and locks at around 5-6fps, in both PVP and PVE, its impossible to play this game any more.
As I have spent well over £100 on this game I am very disappointed with not only your past customer service but your ongoing support with the game in general.

In the past I have sent in phone requests and also email requests to get fobbed off with some automated email response 24hrs later asking me to re-submit if the problem is still ongoing.

For a company that apparently values and prides its self in making things look good and work extremely well, you are doing an extremely poor job at that right now.

I doubt very much if ill even get nothing but an automated response from this but it would be nice to think you value your customers and would look at someway of compensating me for a product that no longer works...

Yours"

Another one bites the dust!

ArconSeptim · July 2014

Yeah I just tried but hopeless when I log in the game it runs on 50 - 40 fps but after I play some time, 10 - 15 min it drops to low low low frustrating fps look at this image :

Just look at FPS in left upper corner:

ArconSeptim · July 2014

Still nothing people? Common you wait for our subscription to expire or what?
Really I'm glad to hear that...

tino.antoninieb17_ESO · July 2014

I think that have found solution for fps problem .
Idea could be something like this - if enough people stop playing then massive fights will not be that massive anymore and fps will go up. As far i can see this solution could be fastest regarding implementation. What u think - am i right or what ?

Cously · July 2014

I'm away from home at the moment and can't play. It will be maintenance anyways, but for anyone that still experience fps drop I overheard some workaround.

On user settings change SET ParticlesEnabled "1" to SET ParticlesEnabled "0"

Someone reported on other thread it erased FPS drops, I didn't have time to test it, so go do it my guinea pigs! I sure will have a try. Of course, you should see if you still have FPS drops after maintenance before attempt this fix. Maybe, amem, they will fix it on this one.
