Feedback for 64-bit Client

Palidon · April 2016

Using the 64bit client in Cyrodiil is a waste of time.

Sound bugs - Squeeking, doors opening and closing, sheath and unsheath noise, static noise, water running noise etc
Complete loss of sound during large fights or while in high population areas around keeps in Cyrodiil

Crashing to desktop during large fights or at random times for no reason.

The 64bit client was not ready for release and should of been tested further on the pts. Its been a month and nothing has changed. As usual ZOS you created just another mess for players to deal with. Oh and by the way there is a complete loss of sound with the 32bit client also in Cyrodiil when engaged in large fights or high population areas.

I'm in Daggerfall in the Cathedral and as I entered the door a sound like wood chopping started to loop. Been running several moments now...

kargen27 · April 2016

Fishing in rivenspire most of the time it sounded like someone with a severe case of sleep apnea fell asleep in teamspeak with their microphone open. Quitting the game and restarting helped. It still happened from time to time for a few seconds but before the restart it was constant. That is the only region I noticed it.

I have also crashed once just after logging in.

Twice while using a Wayshrine I got a never ending loading screen and had to use Ctrl Alt Del to close the game. Looking at the services both times it was using just over three times what the game normally uses.

Pink is gone.

It no longer sounds like a squeaky toy every time I cast Healing Springs so that is a very good thing.

hammayolettuce · April 2016

Are you still running into issues with the audio?
1. Yes, hearing random sounds when I should not be. Another example is if i use Retreating Maneuvers i will hear what sounds like a mouse squeak. This happens with other abilities as well.
Are you still seeing any pink or missing textures?
1. No
Are you experiencing any crashes?
1. None more than the 32bit client.
Are you running the game with any addons?
1. Master Merchent
2. FTC
3. Harvest Map
4. Wykkd's
5. Spent Skill Points

*Are you still running into issues with the audio?
Haven't played enough to tell.

*Are you still seeing any pink or missing textures?
Haven't played enough to tell.

*Are you experiencing any crashes?
If so, what were you doing when you crashed? Did you receive any specific error message?

Yes, still. No error message. Game freezes up, most often on character load as I'm switching between characters. At least this time I was able to get to the desktop to close the window. Freeze is not a typical freeze -- music is playing in the background, but nothing's happening.

*Are you running the game with any addons?
No.

System:

Win 10 Pro 64-bit
GTX 960 2 GB
8 GB Ram
1 TB HDD
PC/NA server
Cable broadband, no connection issue.

ESO 64 is running as administrator, no compatibility. Allowed through firewall and whitelisted in Avast, same as the settings for 32 bit. This does not happen with 32 bit.

phairdon · April 2016

Are you still running into issues with the audio?

Majority of sound glitches occur for me in delves, caves, underground area's in general.

Static hissing
Variety of random sounds popping in & out
Combat sounds looping, even though I am not in combat
a low pitched scream sound while running through a hallway in a ruin (Malabal Tor). The sound went away when I stopped moving.
NPC quest dialogue randomly stops during interactions.

Find the sound glitches are far worse while playing on Windows 7. Deleting the user settings file made no difference. Yet on Windows 10, deleting the same file fixed most of the sound problems.

Cazic · April 2016

Everything seems a lot better and more stable, except the audio.

I think the problem has become less frequent, but I'm still hearing loud audio spikes of ambient noises and/or static at any given time.

I did crash once but I was doing a bunch of stuff in the background on my comp so it may have been unrelated. There was no particular error message. If any other crashes occur I'll make note of them.

I am also getting this. I did not see this yesterday, but it is happening a lot today.

In the most recent PC/Mac incremental patch (2.3.9), we implemented a number of fixes for the 64-bit client. If you have a machine that meets the requirements, we’d love to get some feedback from you on how the client is performing. Once you manually launch the 64-bit client and play the game for a bit, please answer the following questions:
Are you still running into issues with the audio?
If so, what specifically are you having trouble with? This could include incorrect sounds, static, or missing audio.

Are you still seeing any pink or missing textures?
If so, how often?

Are you experiencing any crashes?
If so, what were you doing when you crashed? Did you receive any specific error message?

Are you running the game with any addons?
If so, which ones?

Note that out-of-date addons may cause you to run into issues, so please make sure they are up to date or temporarily disable them.

Thanks for your help!

1. Yes, in large scale pvp fights (many skills going off) the sound completely stops on a regular basis. Sound returns when the fighting intensity decreases. There are also incorrect sounds (like swooshes, static noise and random grunts).

2. No, did not have this issues previously.

3. Since the last incremental patch I havent crashed once with the 64-bit client! I used to crash 1-2 each evening with the 32-bit client, the previous 64-bit client was crashing so fast that I couldnt use it. I did experience a longer delay to active skills (sometimes I press and nothing happens) but I dont know if the 64-bit client could be the cause of this.

4. Yes, of course. AUI, Srendarr, KillCounter, Skyshards, Wykkyd, Master Merchant, Quick Compass, ExtGroupLeader. All of them update the to most recent version.

Ysne58 · April 2016

I've been alternating between the 32 bit and the 64 bit. The 32 bit crashes more often. I haven't had the 64 bit crash once.

I only noticed an audio oddity once so far. I've had more issues with textures in the 32 bit than the 64, not often in either one.

PE_Bagatur · April 2016

Crashes seconds after entering big fight in Cyrodiil. Built-in exception handler catches it and I always send the crash report. Add-ons don't play role in it, tried without them, still crashes.

Phyrexis · April 2016

1. Are you still running into issues with the audio?

Yes, I get the loud static and delayed snippets being played back.

2. Are you still seeing any pink or missing textures?

Haven't seen them anymore since the patch.

3. Are you experiencing any crashes?

In over 220 hours of gameplay my client crashed only once, haven't had a crash since the patch.

4. Are you running the game with any addons?

Yes: AUI, Destinations, Ravalox' quest tracker, Research Assisstant, Skyshards, Wykkyd Framework. All up to date.

EgoRush · April 2016

It doesn't work for me. I get an error message as soon as I execute the 64-bit launcher. This is from a fresh install of the game too and I've tried repairing

64-bit works for other software fine though. Unsure what's wrong.

danno8 · April 2016

Audio issues. Improved from last patch, but still random squeaks and other out of place noises.

Have not had any missing or pink textures since 4/12 patch

No crashes at all for weeks.

Lots of addons. Though considering none of them should affect sound, and that is the only issue I am getting I don't think that any are the cause of the audio issues.

bleissa · April 2016

I've tried both the 32-bit and 64-bit clients (PC). I'm not sure what advantages I'm supposed to see/experience with use of the latter. However, when using the 64-bit client, from time-to-time, I will lose the voice from NPCs speaking to me. Also, intermittently, I will hear a loud static sound that lasts about 1-2 seconds and then disappears.

I'm seeing fewer pink items now, but maybe that's because I'm drinking less now too...

ClockworkArc · April 2016

1. The Screech occured only once since the patch. Most other problems seem resolved for me.
2. The pink textures problem only occured to me a couple times before the patch. Immediately post patch it occured for me in the ground water in Elden Hollow. Hasnt occur since then.
3. Nope.
4. I have decided to run with only FCO Item Saver and Skyshard for now. Post patch I did reinstall Master Merchant but it appeared to give me significant lag. I might try a different merchent addon but Master Merchant noticably made my entire game slower.

Bonus 5. The graphics in the 64-bit client have improved significantly since the patch. For the first time in the game I can see that there is a noticable difference in the rare colour swatches.

nikolaj.lemcheb16_ESO · April 2016

Noticed a change in the client over time. Bugs accumulate from session to session.

Initially it ran for hours without problems, then there were a crash. Then in the next session purple artifacts appears in one zone but disappeared after a zoning.

Then sound bugs began to appear after around 10 hours of play. And now there are constant wrong sounds or just white noise.

sirinsidiator · April 2016

1. The missing audio during large battles in Cyrodiil seems to have been found and brought back, but I still have random sounds playing loudly at times and also another issue where a certain sound would endlessly repeat when I go through a door and one where the last sound that has played would always play instead of certain UI sound effects (e.g. when I click a button in a menu).
2. Haven't seen any lately, but I have mostly been in Cyrodiil where I haven't seen them before either.
3. No crashes since the patch. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
4. I use a lot of addons. More than 80.

Belhawk1 · April 2016

i am running win7 home, and the sound issues are worse after the patch than before it. Before the patch i just got static noise once in awhile. After, i got not only static noise, but ship noise in island desert, dwarf ruins noise in desert, water going down the drain, music and dialog dropouts. I have no problems logging in or staying online like other people have had issue with.

Lysette · April 2016

While I had no problems before, today suddenly I ran into audio issues - music stopping suddenly, random out of place sounds - and I have no clue why this is suddenly happening to me, it was all well before.

Ysne58 · April 2016

I'm not in Cyrodiil. I'm sure that is a whole different experience.

Lysette · April 2016

Hm, I don't know if this is helpful or not, but I payed attention to when I have these audio issues. Strangely enough, either they are happening very often during a session or they do not happen at all - there is no "just a bit".

helediron · April 2016

64-bit crafting is surely interesting these days, to say the least. Refining with donkey? voice was rather funny, but another one with camel spit and hammer bang was outright disturbing. Some of the voices i swear i've never heard before in this game.

In Abah's landing was often repeating sound of a spark plug? . When going in to a house it stopped, but returned when getting back out.

The voices are no longer complete cacophony, more like some sound gets picked and it's repeating.

silky_soft · April 2016

No problems for a few patches. Since last patch constant crashes in cyro. Just stops working, have to task manage close it or hit the power button.

Lewandowsky · April 2016

Crashing consistently soon after logging in or character screen. Higher end new laptop with correct drivers, plenty RAM

client.mode = login
client.renderertype = D3D11
client.session_start_timestamp = 2016-04-16T02:10:10.829Z

client.uptime = 21.0
computer.name = DESKTOP-P2CP3PA

I'll keep hitting submit report...

jpsgamingb14_ESO · April 2016

I ran into Pink Textures in the Thieves Den area.

I had 1 static hiss when logging in.

Frame rates and stutter are still bad.

Game is still on one process thread only. As you can see only the very first core is maxed out. The rest are chilling.

Lewandowsky · April 2016

Random shifting pieces of black every few frames at low graphics quality, at high quality it's like the light and shading is shifting madly constantly. I guess someone else has seen it and its me?

jpsgamingb14_ESO · April 2016

There are static hisses in Greenshade zone
