Feedback for 64-bit Client

magnusthorek · April 2016

Nerf the sound bugs, constant crashing and FPS instability. You can do it! You're the masters of nerfing! >:(

Palidon · April 2016

What sound issues were fixed? Still experiencing the static sounds and random game sounds like water running, doors opening and closing etc with the 64bit client. After about 30 minutes of that I went back to the 32bit client. I fail to understand why the audio issues associated with the 64bit client have not been fixed. In my opinion the 64bit client should still be in beta testing on the pts.

CPU Core usage on 64 bit client.

1 Core Maxed

Lots of texture issues outside of Elden Root

nimander99 · April 2016

@ZOS_GinaBruno I am still not getting most of the NPC voice over, and thats pretty much in every zone.

Also I keep getting a static like fuzzy sound when raining. Hope that helps.

Initially when the 64 bit client dropped, I ran it without much trouble other than the audio files and the occasional pink textures in Shadowfen. After the last patch however, I have changed back to the 32 bit client because of unending crashes. My video card is an XFX R9 280X graphics card and I rarely crashed prior to the last patch.

I have changed my video settings, turned off all my addons, but to no avail, I usually crash within 5 minutes of logging on. I tried last night to run on the 64 bit client and regardless of whether I was in the bank, in Mournhold, or in the middle of Rivenspire with noone around but skeevers, I crashed again within the first 5 minutes of play.

Makes me a sad panda because I really liked the 64 bit client, random rubber ducky sounds aside.
To answer the specific questions:
Crashes are not preceded by error messages, the game freezes and then the screen goes black with an error description pop-up box.

Unable to tell if the sound files are fixed because I cannot stay logged in long enough.

Not running with addons currently.

babylon · April 2016

Sound bugs still rampant, can we get the 64bit client fixed please (why is this thread unpinned...64bit client is still in alpha)...

majulook · April 2016

Try the 64bit client every couple of days, trying to see if it is fixed.
Audio drop outs are still very much present.
Video phasing very bad.
High ping times.
Lots of Lag.

Game freezes up after about 5 minutes of play.

phbell · April 2016

Yes - Audio volume will jump and have high noise background.

No- No Pink textures

Game crashes several times daily. Usually just running through an area.

Horrible ping rates (500-999ms) and game lag - but only in Cyrodiil (Trueflame).

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, static mostly, and odd/incorrect noises.

2.) Not as much and as persistent, maybe happened once or twice since update.

3.) Crush happened one-time, not 100% sure though if it was on your side, since my connection wasn't at best that time. So far, I have not been crashing.

4.) Addons: Skyshards, LoreBooks, Treasure Maps, Destinations, FTC, Cloud Combat, AI Research, Wykkyds.

nk125x · April 2016

It crashes when logging into a new char. When doing writs seams to be the 3rd character swap

Xundiin · April 2016

Want to report sound issues. After about 30 min - 1 hr I start getting sporadic static that comes and goes sounds like a dirty connection. As well as certain sounds being amplified then fading away. Almost like someone taking the volume control and move it back and forth between low and high. Also sometimes sound will fail completely other than foot steps and voices (grunts during combat) that sound like they where record in slow motion (deep voice).

Get ping rates that jump all over from 50 MS up to 700+ then drops back down after a couple seconds. Stays there a few seconds then jumps back up.

Running almost the same mod list as @fr33r4ng3r

BigBragg · April 2016

Are you still running into issues with the audio?
I have some audio missing in quests and random Thieves Troves. I also occasionally get static bursts that repeat every 30 seconds or so with bits of failed audio mixed in (e.g. fraction of a waterfall or monkey call).

Are you still seeing any pink or missing textures?
Not anymore.

Are you experiencing any crashes?
Nope.

Are you running the game with any addons?
Dustman
HarvestMap
LoreBooks
Lost Treasure
SkyShards
Research Assistant

Lysette · April 2016

i have played now for a couple of hours in a row (what I rarely can do normally) and to me the client was stable and with the exception of a few seconds as well with relative good latency. NPC voice acting is missing very rarely, but otherwise I seem to have no more issues. Just sad to read, that so many have still major problems with this client, hope it will be fixed soon.

NobleNerd · April 2016

In all honesty, I stopped using the 64 bit client after that last "fix" that didn't really fix much (for me). I still was getting random sound effects and GOD AWFUL white noise while I played!

If there has been a more recent "fix" I will check it out again, but so far the 64 bit client has been horribly disheartening to use.

zerosingularity · May 2016

So are we gonna get an update on these issues any time soon? Alot of us WANT to use the 64-bit client but cannot simply because performance is worse or because synergy/audio cues are vastly delayed.

NobleNerd · May 2016

@ZOS_GinaBruno

The 64 bit client is still randomly playing out of place sound effects like animal sounds, waterfront sounds when I am nowhere near a dock, but good news is the white noise seems to have gotten better!

ALSO

One of my guild members tried loading it up and it still crashes on launch for him.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO · May 2016

I played for three hours today no sound issues or anything with the 64 bit client. I was surprised because I normally get the odd sound right away. So hopefully its been fixed at least for some.

zerosingularity · May 2016

Bumping because why is this not fixed yet?

Still getting audio/hissing noises on the live 64-bit client with some pink textures. (Noticed some fabulous pink items in vet Banished Cells today.)

NovaShadow · May 2016

The sound issues, whatever it is, is really starting to drive me nuts.

I was at Chal the other night with random monkey's making a racket while we were sieging.

Gargath · May 2016

Also the short 'hissing' sounds are still present for me from time to time.

Deheart · May 2016

Just a casual mention that where I used to be able to play at full 60 fps several months ago before the 64 bit client, Now I usually get 20-30, and sometimes down to 10 fps. Addons disabled and add-on folder moved makes no difference. From what other people are saying it is possible to go back to the 32 bit client so Ill try that tomorrow.

SlayerTheDragon · May 2016

I got to the point where I was posting hate mail in the crash report summary. Last week I went back to the 32bit client.
I am tired of beta testing EVERYTHING in this game since launch.

Rakkul · May 2016

"Initially when the 64 bit client dropped, I ran it without much trouble other than the audio files and the occasional pink textures in Shadowfen. After the last patch however, I have changed back to the 32 bit client because of unending crashes."

Exactly the same.

Amerok · May 2016

I recently switched to the 64-bit client, and have been experiencing the sound glitches (missing dialogue audio, running water, static noise, etc.) along with the occasional pink/purple textures.

stil sound issues, hearing proxi dets in the back while riding in cyrodill, scares the *** out of me, and purple texture in kingscrest cave, that spoder cave with that wood fairy boss

nvyr · May 2016

1.Are you still running into issues with the audio?
yes random looping sounds that don't seem to be associated with area I am in.

2.Are you still seeing any pink or missing textures?
never had an issue with the pink textures.

3.Are you experiencing any crashes?
yes I randomly crash to a black screen a couple times a day and have to alt/ctrl/del to get out of it and restart game. This issue is getting very frustrating.

4.Are you running the game with any addons?
yes, skyshards, lore books and quest helper

Slayyer-AUS · May 2016

@ZOS_GinaBruno When will there be SLI support and fix to fps drops? GPU usage on SLI is at a poor 30-40% usage each card

Anath_Q · May 2016

Another week and still no fix for the sound issues....logged in yesterday to constant bursts of static. The random dock/boat noise and animal burps, gurgles and squeeks are mildly entertaining, but the static is like nails down a chalkboard. Please make this stop.

Run the 32-bit version. The 32-bit version crashes more frequently, but it is more enjoyable to play, between crashes.

Figured I'd check in to see if ZOS had any fixes for the issues, but I can see there still hasn't been much of a fix for this one either.
