Texture/geometry flickering. New bug or what?

    That's funny, they "fixed" this back in 4.0.10:
    Fixed an issue that would occasionally cause the environment and buildings around you to temporarily vanish.

    Just like the MOL crashes, lightning staff HA bug, stam getting rooted when casting ground effect abilities, etc.

    Zos, can you please actually fix the game and stop just issuing patch notes saying things are fixed.

    This flickering is still happening in craglorn specifically. It’s almost a strobe effect and is very hard on the eyes

    It always happened to me in craglorn, for many months now. Never stopped. Guess it's a feature.

    Oh I have been having this issue since the Wolfhunter patch and am SOOOOOO GLAD it's not just me! :smiley:

    I get it all the time in Craglorn. I've tried removing my add-ons but the issue is still there

    Hardly new. This is in particular has been happening in Craglorn as long as its existed. Sometimes it does get bad though... I remember one time they did something wrong in one of the updates and tore up the LODs there, and that caused a bunch of issues they had to later fix. But those days it was like really, really bad with the entire Spellscar glitching out and the sky going ballistic.

    I get flickering like your video often enough, but not like overbearingly. Maybe once every month or so it happens all day.

    I'm wondering if it's something to do with a particular weather condition: I see the Craglorn bug when it's particularly sunny weather in e.g. Glenumbra, for instance, though admittedly nowhere near as bad.

    I wish they would fix some of these things though, including having to start the game and login twice every time because the first time the lag nearly always makes it unplayable. I assume the second login connects to a different server...

    And also fix the absolutely deafening title music that goes on way too long. :s

    For me it’s always the upper half of craglorn that does this. It’s not the disappearing wall/floor bug, it’s just like the the first video in thread, black flashes of missing pixels. If you have any sort of vertigo it makes playing in craglorn impossible :(

    Interesting that this bug is ahppening on xbox, ps4, and PC.... I have a pretty decent PC and every time I walk up to the Eldenroot tree in Gratwood, it flickers in and out. I tried disabling all add-on and just running ESO in stock form, but it didn't make any difference for me.

    Lots of flickering trees in craglorn and cyrodiil too.

    All we can do is hope they will fix it during the next couple of years

    I just get floor textures being black and black screens :s
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    Still happens a lot in Craglorn and Cyrodiil for me. PC/NA.

    Might be related to this?

    What's shown in the thread linked above is that the game sometimes moves the camera to a different position for just one single frame, causing your view to "flicker".

    Elden Root has been going all Walking City on me the last few days. Going to the wayshrine makes the town disappear and reappear two or three times before it settles down.

    I wonder if having a slower connection mitigates the issue. Did you ever get the teleporting enemies bug?

    I've noticed that dead enemies have a bit of a flicker and moment of desync before they seem to resolve now and become lootable, almost as if the game client is forcing a communication with the server. It's really weird, and feels a lot like Elden Root's vanishing and reappearance.

    I don't know how to explain it, but the timing and pacing of the process feels the same. *shrug* Words are hard :D

    Hello!

    Since Elsweyr was released, I've played very bit. However, I have been testing Craglorn and I don't have had any flickering issue. These previous days, I have been playing with intensity in this zone and none issues. Well, till today. I could observed a bit of flickering (dissapeared in less than a second), but nothing seious and annoy like before of the release of Elsweyr.

    I want to know what is your experience after the release of Elsweyr. Less flickering? More flickering? or still the same?
