    Hm.. Very frustrating.

    Did you customize any UserSettings after deleting the file?

    I'd altered RequestedNumJobThreads and RequestedNumWorkerThreads to 0 after encountering a really bad stutter in past patches.

    I've tried everything including reinstalling both Windows and ESO and testing with the default settings. The Thread settings work best for me @ -1, but neither changes the nature of the bug. I have six physical cores and play with hyperthreading disabled.

    have you recently checked your GPU/CPU temperatures to ensure that your card isn't self-throtling to efficiently dump waste heat?

    Yeah, it's definitely not that. Believe me, I've tried everything. The bug has behaved the same way since it was introduced in 2.2. Before that, my performance was always silky smooth. I'm amazed and saddened when I watch saved clips from 2.1.

    This is happening for me all the time too and it is not limited to Cyrodiil by any means. I therefore cant believe that this thread is actually hidden away in the Cyrodiil section :o .
    In every trial I have run with a guild and in every run of vet Maelstrom this is happening after a certain amount of time. The framerate just drops and only after relogging the performance will be normal again. I have a decent rig (Ryzen 1700x and R390) and no temp issues whatsoever. Running the game on an SSD and with 200Mbit internet connection and no issues with other games at all.
    Maybe we can get a fix next year :'(

    This video demonstrates the impact of an FPS drop bug introduced to The Elder Scrolls Online in version 2.2. The clips were captured within an early 5 hour period on 08/20/17.

    Not to necro this thread, but I was just pointed here after describing the exact issues @zyk shows in the OP. It all started with the patch that came out on 2/26/18. I've never experienced the problem prior to this. However my performance in Cyrodiil absolutely tanks after a while. After trying to trouble shoot this for the past couple of days, I'm relieved to read that I'm not the only one that this has happened to.

    If I'm reading post #18 correctly, it appears that deleting ZO_Ingame.lua, UserSettings.txt and ShaderCache.cooked and relaunching the game fixed these issues?

    @ZOS_GinaBruno The 30-50% FPS drop bug is still a thing. Even with default settings and no addons. Zoning fixes it without fail. Please help!

    Just came on here to say I have had really good results since using the "Votans Adaptive Setting" addon and the massive FPS drop has not been nearly as pronounced as it was for me in the last few weeks.

    I don't know if the dynamic setting changes to view distance or particles or something else is helping to prevent the bug from happening in some way or what, but it has made a huge difference on my end.

    This is still a very frustrating issue.

    @ZOS_BrianWheeler A command to reload the gfx engine without actually zoning/relogging would really help AvA players affected by this bug.

    I second this request. If reloading is the fix as zyk has demonstrated then we should be able to activate this on our own without leaving Cyrodiil and incurring a long wait during prime-time for the queue.

    Could ZOS perhaps augment the Transitus method when we travel back to the gates to trigger a full reload? This, of course, only if they refuse to provide some type of /reloadui command that would actually fix the FPS issue.

    For me it got fixed when I disabled XMP profile on my RAM. I'm guessing ESO does not like fast computers.

    I get this bug every night in Cyrodiil and it is extremely frustrating. I start at 120+ FPS and watch it slowly degrade to around 30-40 FPS.

    I have not tried disabling the XMP profile for my RAM and would really hate to purposefully slow down my PC.

    For me, the current fix is to keep my mail clear as receiving mail from Rewards for the Worthy instantly drops my FPS by about 20-25%. When clearing the mail is not enough to fix the issue, I zone to Cheesemonger's Hollow and (hopefully) back to Cyrodiil. This will correct the FPS drop for a short time (although getting back into Cyrodiil from the Hollow during primetime may "require" spamming of the interact button).

    I thought the same way, but after such a long time I figured why not, and it worked, and when not playing ESO you can just enable it again, most games have no issues with this.

    Other games that don't like overclocking are Ark and Overwatch, in my experience, so ESO is not alone in that.

    My fix is literally to close the game, don't exit just shut it... ctrl, alt, delete etc...
    If you load the game back up quick enough you will still be in cyro... Most of the time....

    Frametime is the metric to watch on this one.

    I can see playable FPS at 60+ (I'm used to 200 outside of Cyro smh) but my frametime will double.

    My workaround has always been to enter a cyro delve, but it comes back quickly. Will try disabling XMP.
