I wish the devs could either confirm or inform you with more details, but seeing that I never have this issue kind of complicates it, as it means it's not experienced by everyone.

Please delete usersettings.txt and shaders cache from main eso directory in Documents. Do you play on fullscreen or windowed mode? Just for the record, I play on borderless window mode, max settings for all.

Thank you mate for your words but, as I've said, I've tried all, everything possible in my hands.

What is your graphic card model? I'm sure everyone owner of a NVDIA card have this issue, I only say: play in Craglorn for a relative time and you will experience this issue.

I'm also using Nvidia, GTX1060 6gb. I go to Craglorn fairly often and never seen this issue. I even went to the same spot as in the video on the 1st page and nothing. Everything is ok.

Do you use any addons? I don't use any (except Master Merchant, but I disabled it since it's outdated as of now).

As I've said in this thread, I installed a fresh copy of the game with no addons and deleting the Elder Scrolls Online folder from Documents folder: nothing.

Also installed a copy of the OS (Windows 10 Pro 64 bits) from scratch: nothing.

I've tried to limit FPS to 60 from 100 I normally use: nothing.

If you haven't had this issue, maybe you not have spent the enough time in Craglorn to reproduce it. A friend installed the game in their computer, and in about 20-30 mins walking around Craglorn, the issue appeared as well.

I think unfortunately we will have to wait for U21... they seem to fix some long known bugs in that.... Hopefully Craglorn, and the Crglorn trials are a aprt of that, people still do those for weeklies and bosses disappear, people randomly DC at whispmotherboss in vAA and more bugs ...it's as if the entire Craglorn is about to break apart and needs a revamp.

The flickering in Craglron is happening on PS4 too and I thought my PS4 was dying till I read this thread.I try not to go to Craglron but I like to farm mats there so I hope they fix it soon.

Same for me too on the PS4.
I thought a young wasp was following me.
Why only Craglorn, AFAIK?

Also still seeing this, craglorn often, elden root near the wayshrine too, occasionally

The latest patch (4.2.10) doesn't fix this issue yet. When?

Same here with patch 1.42 on PS4.

Have the same issue myself.

I could be nasty and go on a costumer-service rant, but I figured it would be more productive to give additional information instead.

This is all "original research", in Wikipedia-terms, and may only be specific to me and my computer, but here goes:

==Frame Rate and v-sync==

The bug seems to be directly influenced (but most likely not caused) by frame-rate as well as v-sync. ESO is quirky on my computer, as it runs at (roughly) a solid 55-60 fps without v-sync, and runs at less than 30 fps with v-sync turned on. With v-sync turned off and a consistently high frame-rate, the assets flicker at an insane pace sometimes, and cause severe eye strain for me. Consistently lower frame-rates (which I've only ever had with v-sync turned on) produce that bug as well, but "rogue assets" are much less frequent...I can easily not see one for ten to twenty seconds or more, and then see merely one for a split-second. I do not have enough experience with lower frame-rates without v-sync, or visa versa, to give information on.

==Session Duration==

Entering a zone where the bug hits very hard (like Craglorn) seems to be fine for a bit after just logging in. I can go for a solid five minutes (sometimes much longer, or shorter) without seeing any anomalies. Then, it begins to trigger ever-so-slightly, and continues to get worse and worse until it peaks out at trees and rocks flying all over the place. As such, I believe the bug is tied to session duration.

==Bugged and Non-Bugged Zones==

I have seen the bug in (almost) every zone at least once (which leads me to believe there is no such thing as a zone unaffected by the bug), but some are clearly worse than others.

A very, very incomplete list, meant to serve more as an example than a list:

[Never Seen The Bug Zones]
-Imperial City Districts

[Virtually Non-Existent Zones]
-Stonefalls
-BleakRock Isle

[Medium Zones]
-The Rift

[High Zones]
-Cyrodiil

[Virtually Unplayable Zones]
-Craglorn

==Is it a Loading-Related Bug?==

I'm a game programmer myself, and there are several things I can think of that could cause such a bug in many cases.

-Faulty culling code.

Many (if not most) game engines refuse to draw objects that are outside of the player's field-of-view. By "draw", I don't mean just rendering - I mean performing any calculations related the the objects whatsoever. If an enemy is outside of your field-of-view, an engine is likely going to process just the physics and gameplay-related elements of that enemy, and that's it. If the code indexes assets incorrectly after adding/removing visible objects from a list, such a bug could occur. (That's just an example...I have no knowledge of how the ESO engine does things, of course!)

-Faulty code for loading and unloading assets while moving.

Engines often tend to load and unload assets while you're moving, even in the same loaded area. I don't know whether ESO does this, or if it simply "disables" objects that are far away and stuffs all assets needed for a zone in memory before-hand. If it *does* constantly load and unload stuff, I imagine indexing (or something else similar, like an object cache that isn't cleared correctly upon re-use) could cause such a bug.

I obviously don't have the source code to ESO, so the following is purely speculation...

I don't think either of the above potential causes are causing the bug. If you stand perfectly still and not rotate the camera, the bug still occurs. It almost seems like some kind of faulty sorting code for rendering, or something along those lines...



Well, that's it for now. I'm going to get some breakfast.

i have this same issue. even in trials this happens. it's been ongoing for months.

Just started doing some Skyshard farming in Lower Craglorn, and the flickering/glitching is driving me mad on PS4
Only ever seen it in Craglorn though, delves are OK.

Going to contribute to this post. I have been experiencing this in Upper Craglorn a lot. It makes the zone quite unplayable at times, just because of all the stuff flickering in and out.

In Cyrodiil, I occasionally get a screen where everything is just black except for the characters and npc's, then it fixes itself within a second. It is also quite annoying.

Well due.
