From PTS 4.0.1 patch notes: Improved the framerate stability when spending a lot of time in the same zone.

Finally, i hope it will be the same in the live version.

No problems lately. Synced at 60fps and stay there almost all the time with rare drops when first zoning in an area and small drops into the high 50's in very large PVE groups.

I've had some experience with this issue. One instance of it was PC related. The second instance I've experienced with it was related to video settings, turning off ambient occlusion and going to high settings fixed it. As for the PC issue I never could figure it out.

This still exists. =.=

I don't even have add-ons.

The only time I've experienced something like this is when I failed to update Windows for weeks. Stalled background updates seem to wreck my PC at the oddest times. The difference is HUGE.

Of course, let's be clear - I realize this is *not* the cause, nor is it the solution. However, someone searching here for answers may benefit, so I figured it was worth a mention. In fact, here are a few tips to improve FR for those who aren't techy (Windows PC - I know nothing about Mac. Sorry!)

1 - Make sure you don't have updates pending/waiting to be installed.
2 - Turn off real-time AV while you play. Some AVs have "game mode" so you can do it from the taskbar without opening the settings panel or the actual AV dashboard.
3 - If your PC has a "game mode" function, use it.
4 - If you're not running on the "high performance" setting in the power menu, change it.
5 - Running in "fullscreen" uses fewer resources than "fullscreen windowed."
6 - Have a look through your processes and kill what you don't need. Cortana (et al) is a memory hog, as are several other Windows components. If you care to learn, you can create a macro that shuts down the processes you don't need in game, then shortcut the macro to your desktop. I forget how it's done, but I'm going to look into it.

These are things that we can do on our end to optimize performance and make the most of the RAM/CPU power we have. Unfortunately, they don't solve issues on Zos's end, and those issues DO exist. Please don't think I'm trying to shift the blame away from where it belongs; this is just to help those who may not know how to optimize the experience on their ends. It won't fix everything, but it can help.

I'm on Xbox na, don't know what's up but there is a problem with drops in fps in certain areas of the game, deshaan is one spot and several in craglorn where I do my farming.

It's so sad

I would love to play again, but this one problem just spoils the fun.

It exists, but it could be as much a product of your add-ons as a memory leak. I removed some add-ons and have had better performance. Either way, my computer should perform better than it does in this game... it isnt wonderful. What MMO hasn't had these complaints though?

And that isnt an excuse for ZOS, they owe us better performance, less lag and more fixes...

WoW has never had these performance issues. You could argue it is due to the rendering style, though they have still optimised their game really well. ESO really could do with some of that love, because you get drops everywhere.

I do not have this issue on PC/NA with my Win10 Pro system. I am running a fairly ancient i7 but with a 1070ti card. I have a half dozen add ons going and I am also running a web browser at the same time with several dozen tabs open. My big plus is having 64gb of DDR4.

It still exists and it will probably never be fixed.

The overall performance of this game is honestly pretty atrocious.

Yet for me it is actually pretty good as I stated above you. Which makes me wonder if some of these issues are more likely user related.

It's not good, I am standing in the middle of Minstral at 40fps. Running a Ryzen 1700 4Ghz, 1080Ti OC and 16GB 3200mhz OC. Tell me its my system.

The game isn't well optimised, I am not sure why, though I guess further improvement could be done but its whether or not they want to invest in that effort, after all that doesn't earn them profit.

Having this same issue for a while now. Just came back but thinking about quitting again, thought the issue might be fixed. I can almost make this bug happen everytime.. go to summerset, do a world boss with a large group.. areas that are always 100 fps locked are now down into the 50s or lower and staying there until you reset your game. The fps on the game deteriorate over time.. when you first log in it is buttery smooth, then performance drops over time after doing anything graphically demanding and will stay there. I have an awesome rig, with a 1080 ti, and i7 8700k.. this isn't user error, so that person who is calling people out, you are somehow lucky to not have experienced this.. It has happened on multiple computers of mine with different specs. Any news on fixing this issue yet, it really takes away from the experience. Thanks, people that say they dont have this issue may be running at 1080p and 60hz screens, not high refresh rate monitors at 1440p or higher resolutions. I run an ultrawide 3440 x 1440 100hz monitor, and you can absolutely tell when the fps get cut in half 50-60 and stay there until restart. Keep us updated zenimax.

Just did some testing, got it to deteriorate, went around an area where i usually get 100 fps, it was 50-60 and locked there, stayed in that area for minutes, didn't change.. 50-60 fps... went and relogged to the exact same location, ran around.. 100 fps locked. Something is seriously wrong.. if you kept the original performance when you log in, this game would be really smooth and nice to play, but the degradation makes it poor performance for even the highest machines. Heres what i think.. people with 1080p 60 fps monitors, probably wont notice the degradation as it still stays around 40-60 fps after it happens. People with 100hz+ refresh rate monitors playing past 1080p resolution will notice the degradation as it will cut their fps in half.

Will continue my testing.
