Pent-up feelings of inadequacy during these Apple dominated days?
Sure I don't have a computer with dual-exhaust, but I wouldn't trade my OS ecosystem for a few FPS.
PC/Mac arguments are the most worn out forum fodder of all-time.
I just don’t understand. Why does this game crash every 30 - 40 mins while in Cyrodiil? The game either crashes to a crash report where it asks what i was doing and to send it in to help “diagnose” the problem or it crashes to my desktop with a message saying “the elder scrolls online has unexpectadly quit."
Why has this STILL not been fixed? When will I get an answer from customer service other then “We are escalating this issue.” Then I never hear from them again. This is how my last 3 interactions with customer service have gone.
1.put in ticket #10 or 15 (can’t remember.) I get a response asking for me to run a diagnostic from the client and email it to representative so he can “escalate” it. I do so, and get an email the next day saying, “If we do not hear back from you your issue will be considered resolved. Sent in report again. No response.
2. Put in another ticket a few days later. No response at all this time. Not even an email.
3. a week later I put up a forum post about how god awful this games performance is. a ZOS employee sends me a PM asking for the email address associated with my account. I give it to him and get a response back that he is going to “escalate” the issue. haven’t heard a word since. However a funny side note the moderator posts on the forum that they are in contact with the OP and the he’s closing the thread. Yet have received no help. thread name - “just awful. plain and simple.”
Obviously the fan boys post saying that the problem is on my side and there’s something wrong with my computer or that Macs are not made for gaming and what did I expect. I have never had a problem running any other MMO and I’ve check my computer over and over and over. It’s NOT on my side. Here are some games I have had no trouble running.
Lord Of The Rings Online
World of Warcraft
EVE online
Never once did any of these games crash. SO to make absolutely sure without a single doubt I erased my hard drive and reinstalled my OS. ESO and My operating system are the only 2 things on here. Crash, Crash, Crash, Crash just like before. My hardware is not overheating either. This is clearly 100% the game.
My specs are-
iMac OS 10.9.4
intel i5
4 GB ram
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB
500 GB Hard Drive (450 GB free)
I’ve paid to play this game to its fullest potential not beta test it for the console. When will we be compensated for this and when will this actually get fixed. OR I would settle for “We have absolutely no idea what is going on or how to fix it. We really don’t care either. But thanks for your money. Oh and by the way you can change to the console for 20 bucks.”
How about kissing us first next time.
Well, those are some pretty weak specs... Have you checked if your RAM is almost at 100% just before the game crashes? If there's a resource monitor equivalent for mac.
Might be your machine is just too weak, might simply be because it's a mac.

What for? Just logged out because cyro was such a mess. It's either lag which makes the game unplayable or the fps (back to 25 - didn't we have this before ?).eventide03b14a_ESO wrote: »[ MAC RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ]

You barely meet the minimum requirements. Go buy a gaming computer.

I tell you that I have a pc next to my Mac and my game experience is 100% better on my mac then the PC so go on hate mac as you want you won't know the difference till you play on one.
1000s left the game because they loosing lots AP while client crashes in Cyr and its very frustrating so you see less post on the forums about this problem
It is happening with PC users as well but not that often.
In my case the game crashes, even if I just sitting in Riften and talking to folks.
I have the same problems Cyr and my mac is slightly better I only have 12gig ram though. How ever I never had the fps issue which was common in last month or so.

I am not experiencing any of the problems you mention, nor are any of the others in this thread. If many players were experiencing your problems, it would be all over the forums and gaming sites, reviews, etc. But they aren't. As much as you would like to deny it, this means that the problem is on your end. Period.
"Recommended specs" mean the bare minimum for crappy play, and they keep it low enough to make the game marketable to as many players as possible. But the truth is, those specs suck and your machine is just weak enough that it is hitting more problems than most. Something about your configuration and setup contribute to the problem in a way that doesn't happen with all of those (very old) games that you mention that don't have such problems.
Finally, you're playing a game on a Mac. Macs are always going to be second class citizens in gaming, get used to it or get a PC gaming rig. Every game is designed to run on a PC, and then maybe it will work on a Mac, too. Sort of. Hopefully. This is the tradeoff you make when you buy a Mac and get whatever advantages there are for having a Mac. Offhand, I can't think of any, unless you like spending more money and having fewer software choices, not to mention all the headaches that come with trying to make PC games work.

I think you don't see the threads as much because most of people experiencing them have quit. I bet if you go back in the posts you'll see a lot of threads about it.
You haven't been on these forums enough. If there were something wrong with the game, for example it were crashing in Cyrodiil - there would be dozens of active topics with such discussions. Since there aren't any at the moment I can only conclude that it's only yourself who's experiencing this and you should fix things on your side.
Macs use the same kind of RAM as PCs, you dolt. It's been like that since (at least) 1996. Same goes for pretty much every thing with the exception of the motherboard and processor.smeeprocketnub19_ESO wrote: »If you had a PC you could just go buy some ram for a fair price and put it in yourself.
Anyone who blames hardware for inadequate software coding is ignorant. Doesn't matter if you like Mac, Windows or Linux.
There's a memory leak in the client, plain and simple. Having more RAM available doesn't fix the issue, it only hides it.
It's nice to know that the Mac team is looking into it but this issue persists even on the Windows side. My buddies have the same issue as the OP.Macs use the same kind of RAM as PCs, you dolt.

Good idea on spending more cash to work-around something that should work from the get-go and congrats on not actually fixing the problem; but I guess this backwards way of thinking is how you do things in a Windows environment.
I love how PC dorks think they know more about computers but they don't know anything outside their own environment... or is it just an Amercian thing?
