    I must admit I am very dissapointed. Many exploits was hotfixed instantly but here thing that would help players a lot and bring back fun from playing willl be fixed next week ? I am sure that if this setting would stuck at medium or low it would be hotfixed instantly due to larger player base complaining about this. It's really really dissapointing.

    I'm not defending ZOS, but not everything can be hotfixed and requires a client patch. And I imagine that ZOS might schedule downtime with their server lease provider so they can do hardware and/or software (OS) updates at the same time they provide us with patches, so I don't imagine it's something they can easily change on the fly.

    Seriously... they put the game with the newest patch on PTS, a lot of bugs were reported constantly and whats ZOS doing?
    Just slapping it without any bugfixes AT ALL onto the main game. Really, I feel no sorry for their situation. When exactly will developers learn, that they will drive the game against the wall at some time?
    I came to ESO right after the OT-update. That update was well-done, beside of a few things. But the state of the game this time? PVP is broken due to invisible enemies. The game is not playable for you, the ones with a weaker PC due to stiings locked on ultra. We get trown to log-in screen all of sudden. (can I add the CC-bug also? Because I heard surprisingly nothing of it) Oh, and we are drown in UI-errors.
    All I do is asking me, how on earth did this happen??? What the hell did they change to break the game in such way??
    (Well... changing the UI of course... but HOW???)

    With customers like this I don't understand why they would bust their asses to fix anything at all.

    Seriously, get over yourselves. If it was stupid-easy there never would have been a problem to begin with.

    The solution was founded in 1 day.
    here is post from 7th february
    Hi folks,

    Sorry for the delay on responding to this. We've been chasing it since we saw it surface yesterday. We're digging into some additional info and hope to have more details for you soon.

    and here from 8th february
    Hi everyone,

    The SubSampling Quality setting is being fixed so that you can adjust it to a medium or low setting again. We're aiming to include the fix in next week's incremental patch.

    And now we need to wait to 13-14th february to see game playable again for some of players including whole weekend. You understand the problem now @cjthibs ? Not mentioning 1st post about this on forum was posted 22th January and was completly ignored so it's little dissapointing for some people.

    You do know the fix still has to be tested, right?

    They're not holding it back just because they hate you and it is much more expedient to release it with an already incoming patch that is only a few days off.

    I understand the problem, but I also understand a bit about software development.

    Whats the point now of PTS? Why bother to test there something and write feedback if it is ignored and generally it's ready to go live as soon as PTS is opened and new patch installed there, no matter how bad game is?!

    Ok. Next week. 7 days of eso+ passing by. Not moaning or etc. I undersand there are some fixes you cant do fast or you need to shut dowb server. But meh. Zos. First: comuntity created 5+ threads befor you noticed that. Second: after big explanation that i wrote in support ticket i received the answer ib 3 days that said : try to fix it yourself, in usersettings.txt blahblahblah. Third. If you fixed it - why you can't run urgent maintenence ? Why people need too wait explain pls. And yes. Do you have lack of beta testers, zos?

    You want to tell me that this fix will be tested 1 week ? You want to tell me that devs will now switch subsampling quality over and over again by whole week to make sure it's working ? Dont be silly @cjthibs .

    How else would it be in their interest to do so?

    And I didn't say -only- testing. It also has to play well with the code that is coming up in the next patch. It's much easier and safer to merge it into what's already being tested for a short-term release.

    Mate belive me if that setting would stuck at medium or low not on high hotfix would be ready and released in 1 day because larger playerbase would be affected and many new players could say ,,graphic sucks I'm out". I've been playing this game since release and there was many times when certain issues was hotfixed instantly if crying on forum was large enough. So please play on Your high setting and dont comment problems that doesnt affect You. They dont want to make additional server downtime when larger player base is not affected by issue and is hyped on housing , spending lot of crowns on it especially in weekend and we all knows how usually server downtimes ends up - with additional few hours because of new issues.

Honestly though, I cannot do pledges or anything combat related... Although I can still eff around in my house, which isn't too bad. I hope you guys realize this affects a large amount of your player base... Please please please try to pay attention to the feedback given in the pts forums!!!

    Please try to listen to the feedback the community is giving you, that is what the pts is for.

    They listened. But a couple of low end computer users arent going to stop this money train! They cant even afford a decent computer, they surely cant be buying many crowns!

    AHAHAHAHAHHAAH made my morning reading this, couldn't have said it better myself dude.

    Having the same problem and came here to look for solutions but my god a patch next week? I hope this gets fixed else i can never play ESO again.
    Same issue here.
    - Manually adjusted the usersetting.txt document: SET SUB_SAMPLING "0" was set to 1 and 2 to reflect the three settings (Low Medium High).

    Btw @gddanielb16_ESO does this method work?

    It does not. Even tried to change the file setting to 'read only' afterwards and it did not make a difference.
    Yeah. Im as frustrated as everyone else.
    If this doesn't get fixed this patch I'm pretty much cancelling my ESO +.

    Why buy an expensive computer just for 1 game? That's stupid and a waste of money.

    Depends how much time you play the game for, and how much disposable income you have irl. If you play at least 10 hours a week, spending a grand on a decent computer seems like a great purchase IMO.
