I've been hearing some people say the issue is not fixed. I won't be able to play till later tonight, but I have my doubts-- I don't think it is just a couple of offending spells, since I have the issue constantly on Wabba but not in the less populated campaigns. Anyhoo, does anyone have any success/failure stories? I really want to know because this issue was absolutely crippling for me (quiting fixed it temporarily, but who wants to keep quitting out in PvP every 15 minutes?).

Templars are 'just slower... by design'
Yes, Gina actually said that (at least regarding Rushed Ceremony) right here:

    From the sounds of things, this has not been fixed. Maybe they shouldn't have waited until today to try something to fix it? Someone at Zenimax *** up big if they actually let this sit all weekend...probably the same person who decided the last patch didn't need pvp testing.

    its more than just pvp. Go kill a wisp mother. I bet whatever is causing it with that has something to do with the framerate issues in cyrodil.

    it might be like... 5% better though lol

    The new lighting effects are the culprit. Anytime there is a large zerg and players start casting their pretty spells is when the fps goes to hell.

    On my older computer, not only am I getting bad fps, but players and mobs load onto my screen super slow, resulting in me dieing a lot to ghosts I never see.

    It's like we are playing in super slow motion on ABC's Wide Wide World of Sports back in the 70's.

    So no, it isn't fixed, it's actually worse for me. The last time I was in Cyrodil was about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It seemed a lot better for me back then.

    This is pretty dissapointing I have to say. For them to wait this long to apply the "fix" and have it not even do a damn thing is ridiculous. Once again...who at ZoS is taking responsibility for these screw ups and why are they still employed?
    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

    I didn't expect them to fix it. This isn't the first time they broke it,
    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    It was not fixed. Everyone is still experiencing dramatic drops in FPS in Wabbajack.

    C'mon guys get your *** together. If this keeps up I know I am going to walk away. Having a few bugs is always part of the deal but this is game breaking and inexcusable. The patch that introduced these errors had a "Known Issues" post that was longer than the original patch notes. You should have just rolled back the patch until you really ironed things out. Now you are just digging yourself a bigger hole.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno‌ @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ Can we get an update asap!?

    Went into Wabba today, things were okay until we took a keep and that's when the FPS dipped down to the IQ of a rock. Again. As someone said, it seems to be happening when there are a lot of lights/spells with lights going on.

    Just found a wispmother and tried to fight it. I went from 55 fps down to 10. Managed to kill it, but my fps stayed in the 10's and 20's for a couple minutes after killing it, finally returning to normal values. I've got to say, when I read that they fix things, I just assume they are still broken or some variation of broken. I honestly expect two to three patches for stuff to actually get fixed.

    Hopefully they can fix this one next time <3

    It is not just Cyrodiil. I was in the desert today and anytime I approached any body of water my FPS would drop by at least half. This has never happened before.

    We are talking about going from 50 - 60 FPS to 25 and less. Crazy.

    Much worse for me, the FPS isn't as much of an issue as the fact that when my CPU maxed out (and GPU went down) monsters just stopped loading. Died a lot at a Dolmen as a result. Even minutes after a wipe I still couldn't see them.

    No, it is absolutely not fixed. Love they way they implied (or perhaps we inferred, but I don't think so) that it would be fixed today. It most certainly is not fixed. Want to dethrone an emperor? Good luck with the three faction fight at the last remaining keep he's holed up in. That 2 FPS isn't going to work out so well.

    I have a feeling it's something they need to investigate. I imagine you will see a hot fix sometime this week. I can't see leaving part of the game unplayable between patch schedules.

    ZOS official comment is that they will be working on this issue into the far flung future...
  • claytonjhouserb14_ESO
    Zos just needs to release a honest statement saying what the issue is and what is going on corporate wise that is sending this game into an early grave. I don't know what they are doing but no one can defend them now enough is enough.

    It's saddening seeing a mmorpg with as great potential as vanilla wow go to *** before our eyes. We have told them what the errors are and they say "yeah we know" but never show they do. I have since moved on to another hoping one day this game will be great but if it continues in this drection it won't even survive as a F2P which I hate to even think about.

    Yeah apparently they've all made enough money to retire now so they don't give a sh!!, wonder if they will think that when all their subscription revenue starts disappearing in another couple of months due to cancels... this is pathetic. Good thing my son likes playing PvE, I would have cancelled yesterday.

    Well, mine went from single digits fps to 20-25 fps now so it definitely is better than last week but by no means fixed
