    Performance
    • Increased the amount of CPU cores used by the client, which will improve the overall framerate for players on mid- to high-end CPUs. This will be most notable in PvP or graphically intense scenarios.
    • Improved character compositing, resulting in faster character loads and less framerate spikes.
    • Fixed issues with character loading that would cause the all black stand-in character models to persist for longer than expected.
    • Made some improvements to the issue where the framerate could decrease over time, most notably while in Cyrodiil.
    • Implemented additional fixes to prevent long load times across the game.
    • Fixed various issues that were causing players in your group to appear invisible.

    Hopefully these performance changes with Summerset and Update 18 are valid. So 2-3 more weeks and performance should increase noticeably.

    Always the same threads about this topic - when do you guys realize, that those working on server performance are not the same guys working on new content?- So the notion, that one would take resources from the other is just not a given.

    Edit: And the next to realize is - if they could fix it, they would have done it already - so they are unable to atm.

    Omg I hope that fixes the vMA frame rate lag you get on ps4... if your in vMA for over an hour it’s unplayable.

    I don't know if it is because i deactivated game mode, or because a faulty add-on got updated, or simply because i got used to it, but i don't remember getting stutters today or yesterday.

    Any one got any clue how to fight these lag spikes apart from not playing? It's frustrating to die on trash mobs when every five minutes the game decides to freeze everyone, then unfreeze and you're dead. I can't loot I can't pick up dialogue options, I can't play group content

    You think inability to play should be something buried and forgotten? Besides, since when posting in a five days old discussion a necro? Anyway I would appreciate a constructive reply.

    The highest fps I have gotten lately is 15. The lowest is 1. That usually happens amidst battles.

    Been getting ridiculous lag recently. I am fighting mobs and nothing happens then all of a sudden they are all dead or i am nearly dead. Same with gathering I press E and nothing happens for ages. When pressing R to collect again it can take ages

    PS4 player here. Before Summerset, the game had some lag but nothing supernatural. Mostly lag was at Cyrondill.
    After Summerset, lag everywhere (even inside instanced dungeons) and the load screens... oh the load screens...
    I love this game but this can be the reason to jump to another soon.

    Same I experience horrible lag this game is basically unplayable for me! I cant evwn *** through a rotation for a simple dps test cause of this. Its ridiculous with as much money I've dropped on this game I would expect a lot better performance. Or to be compensated in some kind of way! I love this game and I put up wit a lot of bs that comes with it but at this point like I said its unplayable. So please do something whatever it maybe just something please @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom please!!

    2019 here.

    Incredible amounts of lag from time to time. Drops of fps to 5 fps. I have a fine set up. Can run world of warcraft smooth as silk, and fps at 60, I can get 60fps on fallout 5 with proper settings, and there is not reason for this kind of lag in eso.

    150 Megs down
    5 megs up

    750 ti ftw graphics
    8 core amd 8970 proc 4 ghz
    30 gbs ballistix ram/ no virtual ram
    500 gb crucial ssd

    Sometime the game will be smooth, but sometime it will be just terrible. Ran speed tests, and nothing wrong on my end. Please fix your server Zenibeth. Please. ~ciou

    p.s.

    I sure wish you could overclock your servers like you do your merchandise eso store.

    areas (console versions) like Murkmire or Summerset takes 20+ sec to load
    when exiting from wayshrines,then frame drop till you can finally play
    pvp (console and pc ver) is much worst,now i get booted from server and then cant connect for 5 min
    loading screens when peek time lasts 2 min

    Making a very good PC helps, but ZOS could help even more, by adjusting number of players allowed at the same time in any one instance.

    Stuttering and such always happens when i end up in an instance with many players. It is worst in the areas where people farm mobs for XP. At times i get to these same places with very few players, then i get over 100 FPS but when too many players are in one instance, it can drop to as low as 20. Usually happens in Vulkhil guard.

    Though it is an MMO, it does not mean we need to render players we dont see. Right now it seems to rendere everyone in single instance whether or not they are visible, which naturally causes performance issues.

    Either they need to dramatically cut the number of players allowed in single instance, since the engine wont propably support system which does not render players which are not visible/far away. Another choice is, that they give us some tools to choose which instance to be in like in Star Trek Online. There i can pick from list of instances either a populated one or some of the lesser populated. There are even instances where i can play alone <3 That game is made like this sort of MMO should be. We have stations where many players are and the space where they are also visible in reasonable numbers, but polanets and quest areas are solo, if not chose to be with other players. This also helps to keep performance issues in bay concerning player numbers which cause performance issues.

    The engine also has problems with large amounts of players in single instances. This was known in SWTOR which uses basically the same engine. They took the wise path by making areas have smaller number of players. ZOS has tweaked this version of Hero engine, but it is still the same at its core, and has the same issues it seems. Why there has to be so many in single instance? Why not just cut to the chase and reduce the number of players in any single instance. Easy fix, no hassle(Except the tired old its an MMO argument which really is moot).
