To elaborate a little more, you know when you have Fraps going and sometimes get the stutter? It feels exactly like that

IT seems to be an issue with some addons, try turning off a bunch and see if it helps.

Try change your graphics quality settings and see if that helps?

If not, worst case, try delete the ESO Live folder and subfolders in My documents and let them rebuild. This might or might not help, but should be faster than doing a full reinstall.
Next step is to do a Repair, just in case.

Getting about half the FPS I normally do out in the world. Ohhhh patch days.

Try Changing the LUA Memory Size...

In:
My Documents / Elders crolls Online /

Open the file called: Usersettings.txt

SET LuaMemoryLimitMB "64"

(Change the "64")
Try adding memory to: 128, 256, 512 ... and this does seems to help some.

also off topic...

Tired of the loading videos, and want to load game faster change this setting stated below:

SET SkipPregameVideos "0"

change this to "1"

It will skip the loading videos of the game and go strait to login.

I'm getting the same thing but only in cyrodiil. I noticed while monitoring my card that the gpu useage goes from 60% or higher to 10-15% and back up real fast,causing the stuttering. I never had this before and it only started after new patch.

I disabled all addons still same thing.

My pagefile is maxed out when i start to lag really bad. Maybe another memory leak.

Stuttering is definietly there, 45-60 fps, as it was since there is Cralgorn, and the suddenly drops to mid ten zone for a few sec or even mins, then repeat. I am always deleting Sharedcache and useresettings at every single major update, never had anything like this before. Also no addons.

I can also report to having this same issue.

Nvidia did release a new driver update today, which I did download. Are the other people having these same symptoms using the new Nvidia driver, or can we rule that out as a cause?

Not sure if this is what you all are experiencing... I get a brief pause every second or so. Was also experiencing it on PTS, assumed it was the messed up add-ons. But now on Live running updated add-ons it is still happening.

It starts out subtle, if I run in a straight line it stands out more, but within a few minutes it gets hard to ignore. For me it seems to be impacted by add-ons but not caused by them. If I remove my out of date add-ons, it improves about 80%. If I check the box to exclude out of date add-ons (even though no out of date add-ons are selected), it improves a little more. If I disable all add-ons, a little better, but not entirely gone.

I just quit to the desktop and restarted with all add-ons off and have been running around for 5 minutes and it just seems to pause every so often, not on a regular 1 second or so rate like before.

I turned on only a few up to date add-ons and run down the road, it is completely gone for about a minute and then it is back. Monitoring my pc performance the only thing I can see that is occurring at that rate is a disk i/o that is pulsing at about the same rate. When I am moving, the peak gets higher (more data transferred), when I stop it goes lower. Even if I stand still and rotate the camera in a slow circle the i/o peaks go up. I'm using an SSD so transfer speed should not be a problem.

Not sure if that has anything to do with it but there is definitely something going inside this update. I am also having problems with Shadowplay, the upper third of the screen garbles with any movement, very annoying so I have to keep it off. I have never had any graphic issues with ESO before. I started PTS with Win7 and updated to Win10 a week ago, all new nVidia drivers and still have the same problem. I updated to driver 355.82 yesterday, no improvement.

Same issue(s) here. Stuttering as hell, fps dropped from previously 60 to 30 and below (at non-crowded spots I still get 60, though), endless or way too long loading screens, etc. etc.

I'm really, REALLY curious on which kind of computers ZOS tests their game before it even goes to the PTS. And then I'm wondering about why it goes even to the LIVE server although the issues existed on the PTS already..

Its also present at the character loading screen, i am getting like 20 fps there.


UPDATE: after, again setting the "usual" tweaks in usersettings stuttering is gone.

SET RequestedNumJobThreads "0"
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "0"

Make sure its 0

Update 2.

Doing so got rid of the stutter and the FPS drops, but resulted in a 60-120secs long loading screens every single time!!
Pre-patch it was max 10-15 secs.

I have pretty much brand new Alienware 15, i7 pc and it was buttery smooth before this update. Now the fps is all over the place and I get stuttering with just my character running around. I'm not lowering my graphics settings as it was totally fine before this patch - if it doesn't get fixed I will stop playing, simple as that.

Its horrible in the dungeons, every single aoe effect causing freezes for at least 1 sec. Spamming aoe every single sec making this whole stuff unplayable at the moment. So whats going on ?

It's funny how everyone here stating problems, but ZOS still hasn't replied or commented on these issues.

This seems like a normal situation.

It is. Everything is just fine. Had 4 - 20 fps on the last fight in todays Vr dungeon.
Add some stutter to it at every effect. Please ZoS can we get some attention here?
