How to lower quality of effects? (particles?)

I have fine fps on high settings and with 4K resolution, however when there's a bit of effects being used my fps plummet. If I lower the subsampling to medium or low I can completely fix this, however unfortunately this setting degrades ALL textures. I don't want that of course. I only need to lower the quality of the effects, how would this be possible? I should mention that I have tried setting the Maximum Particles Systems and Particle Supression Distance to the lowest values, but it changes nothing in terms of fps.

✭bumb. No advice on lowering the quality of just the effects, not everything else at the same time?0 -

✭I don't think there is a way. I have MS and the constant flashing of the effects sometimes causes severe headaches. I've tried everything I could think of to reduce the amount of particle effects with no success. It would be nice if that feature was added, or some one with a better understanding of manipulating the controls would chime in with a suggestion.

yea it really annoys me because as mentioned I can run the game beautifully and with high fps, except for these spell effects that makes my fps go from 50-60 down to 30, or sometimes even less when there's lots of effects. But when turning down subsampling to medium or low can almost completely eliminate the fps dip from these effects; but again, that also turns down ALL texture quality, not just the effects, which is totally unnecessary. On top of that there isn't even much visual difference in effects quality from High subsampling to medium/low subsampling, so it's such a shame that there is not a seperate setting for quality of the effects subsampling

✭✭✭Even people I know with incredibly OP gaming setups have huge FPS problems in raids and such where tons of particles effects are going out. It's not your PC or what your PC can handle, its entirely ZoS' fault.Unfortunate magicka warden main.

✭✭✭✭✭This is about the only possible way to do this, and your game will look weird as there is little to no visual feedback

Don't know if someone came up with one of those shader modifiers or injectors to resolved this.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
