    I got this all over Craglorn last night, and ONLY Craglorn. Nowhere else. I thought my brand new 1080 TI was starting to fail, so I'm extremely relieved that this isn't on my end.

    Wolf hunter will break this game even more, zos is awesome at adding new content, but brain dead at fixing anything.

    I spent ages messing with this thinking my GPU was fried. Then I saw it on twitch happen to a PS4 player. The flickering is different from the disappearing and has been happening longer. Apparently there was an old similar bug that people used to get in windhelm specifically but it was fixed. Craglorn is particularly bad but I see it in cyrodiil a fair bit too.

    I was walking through Davon's Watch last evening, and the entire city disappeared. I stumbled around in the void until it reappeared.

    This sort of thing is happening every time I play.

    Happened to me last night in Forgotten Crypts. The doorway right before the group boss room - standing at the top of the stairs the whole wall/ceiling would flicker in and out.

    Edit: Just happened again in Lower Bthanual

    Turn on your ping meter in the settings. I noticed all kinds of latency issues once it reaches around 140 or higher. The higher the ping, the worse the symptoms. Used to never have issues in pledge dungeons (last year) but nowadays even high ping is an issue in those.

    Also get the failing-to-fill in textures. Where the ground is a solid color, etc.. For a pay to play service, they certainly don't give a cat's ass whether it's worth playing anymore.

    Is there anything I can do on my end to fix this? Lower graphics settings or anything? It's actually not affecting my play very much, but my friend keeps missing a bunch of stuff when we play together because she can't see anything. I feel like I'm leading a visually-impaired person through the game. I mean, I guess we could RP that, but it's a bit weird.

    I started hearing about this before I saw it, now I'm seeing it everywhere and it is getting worse. Yesterday I had to struggle to complete a quest while this was going on. I tried logging out and back in but with no success. My son was watching over my shoulder, killing himself laughing while telling me that I need to find a new game to play. Velkhel Guard disappeared for me this morning... just for a second but it was startling none the less.

    I hope a fix isn't far off.

    It's better not to say anything when you don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about. You don't look like an idiot then. Just friendly internet tip that applies to variety of subjects.

    @ZOS, fix your stupid game!
    I was right in deciding not to renew my ESO+.

    If you had renewed your ESO + the extra 15 bucks would have been enough for them to fix it. It's your fault!!

    Happening to me as well. Internal surfaces disappearing in the College of the Sapiarchs and the Cathedral of Webs.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Is there an ETA on fixing this? It makes some areas nearly unplayable, so it should be highest priority.

    GPU is a GTX 1060, any AMD users experiencing this? maybe it's some driver issue.

    Its a feature. Bet we will get new skill line just like we got psijic one, where there is implemented disaperance of world objects or geometry flickering. Could be an ultimate for Undaunted as well.

    I most frequently get this in Craglorn in the crafting place where the enchanting, jewelry, and alchemy stations are. It has also happened a few times in delves.

    Walls and floors are disappearing in delves now for me. Really interesting trying to do my Undaunted delves when the whole place is suddenly mostly invisible except for the monsters and other players. LOL.

    Had this happen in the Wayrest Mages Guild to me yesterday. I must have looked absolutely ridiculous trying to find the spiral staircase up to the crafting station and then back down without any textures.

    This is game-breaking, so I can't imagine they don't have people on it... but I also imagine this is a monster to troubleshoot, since it seems to happen so randomly.
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    (Signature idea shamelessly stolen from Abeille.)

    I've found that disappearing scenery has been a very frequently occurring and obviously quite major bug since the last PC update a couple of weeks back. I'd never noticed it prior to that, though I need to qualify "never" as someone who's only been playing for a month.

    This is distinct from the weird flickering graphical artefacts in Craglorn which just seems to be a feature of the area.

    Hills disappearing. Rocks disappearing. Fell through the ground, flew through the sky, hit the ground again dead lol
