My brother just bought and installed ESO on his laptop, and he's run into a problem with the laptop not charging when plugged in, while the game is running. When the game is launched, the computer immediately starts alternating between "Plugged in and charging" and "Not plugged in and running on battery" every few seconds. This ended up fully draining the battery even though the AC adapter was plugged in the entire time.

The laptop is a Razer Blade 2014, so it's not an issue with it being an old machine, poor specs, etc. It has never shown this behavior before, or when running any other programs or games. When ESO is closed, everything immediately goes back to functioning properly and charging, so it's not likely a problem with the charger or laptop hardware.

Has anyone else experienced behavior like this, or know of any settings/power management issues within ESO that might be causing this?
