So i noticed that Orsinium launched and the texture pops were everywhere, followed by a loading screen and the hilarious pink walls.
Now Thieves Guild is out and both dlcs have the same issues on top of some framerate issues. I can literally feel the game slowing down as i'm riding my horse at top speed.

Are PC players having the same issues and is this going to be a thing?

    Though we have our differences, we are all brothers and sisters in the bugs and performance issues.

    I don't have any framerate or performance issues outside of Cyrodiil zergfights, even in Orsinium I never really encountered any issues performance wise. Yeah the FPS does drop in the middle of Wrothgar, but then again - that place is far bigger and much more detailed than any other town in the game so it's to be expected (more things on screen - heavier load on CPU/GPU, be it consoles or PC's, down at the core they are identical). But on my PC - the FPS drop is from the usual 70-80FPS down to 40-60 so no biggie.

    In regards to pink textures and other bugs, including crashes only happen on 64bit client, not really the case for 32bit apart from occasional sound glitches. Think ultimately it boils down to individual system when it comes to PC, as I don't experience a lot of the issues many complain about (but not all - I still get occasional hiccups).
    As for consoles - same bugs will carry over as the problems are inherent in the game code, and similar issues will occur, some of it can be aggravated by poor network connection, be it on ZoS or ISP side.

    ON PS4 the two areas that don't shine in terms of performance are of course A.Cyrodiil and B. Hews bane for me.

    For me it is Mournhold. Every time I'm there it's hundreds of pitch black silhouettes running around and zero textures on the ground. Then I'll just freeze in place for a bit until the area turns normal (but still incredibly laggy). Only in Mournhold though.

    well i get kicked at least 1once a day in mournhold and once a day when i enter the wrothgar bank for my writs. and often during playtime one or two crashes or freezes. and it's getting worse. ye ZOS is really working on the preformance, that you can't play any time so the laggspikes won't make a difference

    Needs fixing ASAP. Every part of XB is laggy and stupid. I cannot even sprint with my horse, just slows down and reverts back to normal speed. 3s between kills and being able to loot / harvest. Wrothgar is 2 additional loading screens between orsinium wayshrine and leaving the town. Malestrom is horrific with lag. Adds spawn before the animation starts lol audio from that annoying *** daedra is now gone, heard it once on round 6 today and that's it. Rawlka is just full of shadows and grahtwood takes 3 mins to load up pledge givers. Joke.

    It is horrendous and unacceptable. 10fps in Imperial City Arena.

    I saw a video recently of a guy on Xbox One zergbombing 20+ EP. My PS4 would crash so hard if I did that. It crashes now just for Streaking (plus camera bug) through too many mobs, who are invisible for at least a minute after entering the Arena District.

    The game is basically broken on ps4 half the time. I've had some people ask me if I would reccomend the game, normally I would say hell yeah its awesome, but lately I need to make sure they can stomach serious lag and bugs before I tell them to go for it.

    The team handling performance is incompetent or undermanned. Who knows which, but TG broke the game in a lot of ways that are yet to be fixed.

    5 blue screens yesterday alone.

    Blue screening everyday, game keeps freezing, feels like I'm stuck in mud half of the time. Horse stamina bar going up and down like crazy, orsinium is absolutely awful to try and run through to hand it daily writs, get stuck on every little raised thing. I like alot o things about the new update but it's broken quite a few points on my game.

    Thank you for posting this.

    I love this game but find myself incredibly frustrated with the performance since the patch.

    Not only did the nerf the speed, the now cap your speed while loading. So I'll go at 60 speed, and be at 60, 60, 60, 5, 12, 60, 5....

    I would rather be nerfed in half as long as the speed was consistant.

    The constant frame rate drop is awful. It's like we're playing on an outdated pc. When I spin my camera it's laggy as hell.

    The activity finder is totally busted. Haven't been able to find a group once in the dozen times I've tried.

    The performance is absolute garbage. If this is how pc has been I feel sorry for you. It worked good, great before. It kills much of my desire to play the game and that's a shock to me. I have spent countless hours (8-12 a day) playing this game.

    Seeing this patch released makes me wonder who is passing this off as working. And then Microsoft supposedly approved this? I've never seen a game literally break itself and pass qa from their own department, and then by Xbox live.

    And then seeing the gigantic middle finger by whoever decided to charge 5000 crowns has really gotten me to question this game. And, I am usually one who totally lol's at the people who complain or threaten to quit. But I'm losing hope at a extreme rate.

    Please zos. We are all pouring our feelings out on your message boards to be ignored. We realize you can't reply to one comment because you're then expected to reply to them all. But please hear us. Just make it work. And charge reasonable prices. And your game will thrive. Leave it broken and charge asinine prices, and your game will fail. We're at your doors pleading with you because of the love WE have for YOUR game. And you just ignore us. It's at your best interest to listen.

    All I can say Is this. If I ran a game development. And we released two total dlc's. And then the biggest major component of that dlc was broken (Molag in the sewers) I would keep people working overtime, coming in on Sunday's to get it fixed. The fact that it remained broken for as long as it did is shocking to me and speaks a lot for their commitment to having a working product.

    We're not asking to bend to all of our wishes. But we are asking to make the things we already have access to actually work as intended.

    Agreed 100%, i havent even logged in since Saturday due to performance and very quickly losing interest in the game to the point i have started researching other games to to maybe make my home. I believe you have to make fixing broken things the #1 priority always before anything else.

    I haven't had any of these performance issues on my Xbox.

    I'm not doubting that they exist, but still...

    I get the pink textures in Orsinium from time to time, but the lag is not there for me.

    Mournhold has lag issues, but that's only because of how many people are in those areas and everyone is setting off every Skill animation that they can in as short an amount of time as possible. That would bog down any server...

    But other than those two, none of what is described here is an issue. That begs me to ask certain questions, but I don't want to start a huge meltdown by asking them.
