I also use the eso.exe file to launch the game, however I did notice that if I click through the loading screens to get to the sign in page quicker I get disconnects? so I always let it load without clicking through.

@Bartdude you know you can turn off the screens at the start of the game launch right? No need to waste time clicking.

Hmm interesting, thanks

Absolutely. If you keep your task manager open while playing you can watch it grow pretty steadily.

I think it's the PVP server that got the leak . I can run the regular zones for days on max graphics and never crash . In PVP the problem with FPS and ping compile over time till eventually one of those loading screens becomes infinite while traveling .

We recommend that you exit the game and run a repair on the game launcher to ensure that it is completely up to date.

If the problem persists, please let us know and we'll be sure to investigate further. In the meantime, here are some tips that may help reduce and minimize the effects of the memory leak. Start by adjusting the graphics settings. This will reduce the strain on the computer:

•Change the display mode to Windowed (Fullscreen)
•Turn on Vertical Sync
•Reduce quality settings for SubSampling, Shadow Quality, and Water Reflection Quality

In addition to this, it may be helpful to launch the game directly using eso.exe from the installation directory (located here by default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client). Alternatively, it could help to alt-tab out to the game launcher once the game has launched.

Similarly, the you may want to try closing out of any programs not being used to avoid overtasking the computer. The simplest way to do this is to run the computer in selective startup, which will limit the number of programs which will start when rebooting the computer.

To put a computer in selective startup mode, follow these steps:
•Click Start and type "msconfig" in the search box
•Right click on the "msconfig.exe" program and choose "Run as administrator"
•On the General Tab at the top, click on the Selective startup button
•Uncheck "Load startup items"
•Click on the Services tab and check the "Hide all Microsoft services" box
•Click the "Disable all" button at the bottom
•Click Apply, then click OK.
•Restart your computer

When the computer boots up again, it will be in selective startup. Try the game again and see if this helps limit the memory leak problem. After playing, selective startup can be turned off. This is done by opening the msconfig window again and selecting the Normal startup button. Click Apply, then click OK, and restart the computer again.

For more detailed instructions on this process, visit the Microsoft support page here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

Note: Spending a long time at the character selection screen seems to increase the effects of the memory leak.

So no memory leak then!

Since last patch game bluescreens on me once a day at least. PS4

One reason for slow texture loading can be the harddrive.

I don't think it is in my case as my hardware is very good. Also the texture bug is perfectly replicated each time you reload a zone.

I have also tweaked the usersettings.ini to get some more FPS but this is not an issue i am now getting while playing. The FPS is not bad all the time, it is almost 100 sometimes when i start the game, then i can stand in the same place for and hour or two and the FPS can be as low as 10. Full restart of the game helps, nothing else.

There is no launcher open, open launcher should not bloat the client anyways but still its not active. I also use the executable to run the game.

The gradual FPS loss looks like a meory leak to me, also the clients memory usage increases over time in proportion to FPS loss.

There is also another issue making sudden FPS drops which is not related to memory leak but actually to the number of players allowed on each instance of the current location. The game seems to allow way too many players on one instance, the FPS could be greatly improved by cutting the size of the instances to half.

Since One Tamriel dropped, it is definitely more crowded, and the PC certainly works harder as a direct result of having to animate more characters. Belkarth is a perfect example. The curious design decision to have everyone turn in their top-tier writs to the exact same location is asking for the inevitable PC fans to fire up as one approaches the city, and calming down not too long after walking out of the area. There was always a small loss in FPS in the capital towns, but never to this extreme, at least for me.

Yeah, have memory leak too

For people with choppiness/stuttering, right click your desk top short cut. go into compatibility, tick the boxes for override high DPI scaling, as well as the box for run as administrator. Also, delete (or keep a copy) your user settings file within the elder scrolls online folder, located in your documents.

In PvP, my teammates and I often have to relog to clear some issue that causes a noticeable performance loss.

This event makes that impossible unless you need a half hour break in queue. So we play through it.

Yes, absolutely.

And it's nothing new, either. Been having this issue for well over a year.

its almost impossible to find any big application build with c++ that does not have memory leak.

I can't seem to remember.......
