    But it's been released for 3 and half years and performance has gotten worse instead of better.

    Furthermore almost all of my games on steam that are under $10 run great.

    Most games on steam also don't have the moniker or money of a triple A title like this one. Don't defend ZOS for this one, they fudged up really bad a long time ago and either don't have the ability to fix it or choose to not spend the money on it, instead reskinning everything possible for all the TES fanatics to buy.

    I was just thinking, if in SLI it didn't go from 100fps to 43fps over 30 minutes like it's been doing since forever, I might actually be paying for plus and buying those crowns on sale instead of waiting until 2018 when I move to 21:9 and nvidia ampere.

    Oops.

    Yeah I don't understand the point of this thread. How many games on steam under $10 are pulling in the kind of revenue that this game is on micro transactions and loot boxes along with plus subs?

    Don't know about that, PUBG during beta had less bugs, load screens and crashes than ESO has had.

    Do you happen to not remember when ESO had horrific FPS drops and ping spikes?

    Uhh no it doesn't. Every one of my games I got under $10 and free even, run better. What the hell did you spike your egg-nogg with? Denial?

    I actually followed this guide -

    https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/3jjoql/are_you_having_fps_issues_wih_eso_on_a_pc_well/

    and I went from barely reaching 40-50 FPS max to averaging 70-90+ FPS and going as high as 100+.

    The reason it's gotten better is due to the price increase in CS items and the implementation of CC's. More cash from the whales means this game is receiving unprecedented support. Oh wait, you said it gotten worse, which means all those "I like to help fund the game by paying $30 for that $10 mount ..." are null and void.

    I'm now confused.

    Dunno 'bout that. SWTOR has some pretty dodgy servers that tend to fall over regularly. Pretty frustrating.

    the problem seems recent, maybe due to holidays. i was playing 60-100 FPS until last friday, then i stayed 2 days away from the game and just now, without doing any changes in my system, i'm playing at 20-50 FPS and frequently removed from the game, so... looks like things drastically changed during this days. maybe it is temporary, i hope so.

    Comparatively, you'd need to spend more than $10 to find a game that runs as well and has an active population.

    Never had an issue with swtor, only issue ive had there was the pay2win model in having to have the expansions to level pass paywalls. Always ran smooth as it can be considering being in Australia. We notice a bad server pretty quick and are pretty tolerable to server lag. But hiw bad eso is atm is why most oceanics just end up leaving

    Best servers ive ever had was guild wars 2 on pc. Serves half a world away and still felt competitive and very rarely suffered lag (even in wvw in a large group of 50+ people on their tier 1 servers) on eso you have a 5v5 and your nearly guaranteed either a DC, a load screen or skill freezing.... Which is a joke

    i tried this out of curiosity and i didn't get one single extra frame after it.
    i believe that something wrong happened to the game in the last 2 days since it's no longer playable with the settings i was using until last friday.

    i only see 2 solutions at this point: reducing all settings to low, or abandon the game and wait for a fix.

    anyway, it's not something new, it's quite usual for the game to break during events. in the last year we had similar problems exactly during the same event.

    The average Internet speed in America is 18.75mbs.


    Factor in 4 people sharing that over WiFi, and it's not hard to imagine why people have bad fps...

    Wow, you must've been gone from SWTOR awhile. The Aussies are raging after the latest server merges, understandably. Also, there were at least two US servers that had a tendency to fizzle out nearly on a nightly basis (this being in the past oh six to eight months).

    Really hard for those on those servers.

    The ESO servers are light years (heh) better than SWTOR from where I sit. Only time I get disco'd is during our nightly router reset.
