Craglorn glitching graphics

Shawn_PT · March 2019

Since apparently posting in the General section of the forums is the only way to get anything looked at, I'm bringing this issue out of the Bug report section. Original thread at https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/442646/craglorn-and-cyridell-flickering-artifacting-assets-old-bug-needs-forum-mod-attention/p1.

Ever since I remember, Craglorn's graphics have been glitching for me. I have no idea why. I have changed PCs, had a completely new one built up, and this still goes on. Interestingly enough, it does not happen in Belkarth. Only in the wild, and mostly up in northern Craglorn. I'm really glad I'm not the only one who has this issue but there's really not much on the forums about this. How come?

Sorry for the poor video quality, I didn't bother setting it up properly just for a little demo. Cross platform issue, definitely doesn't seem to be something on the players' side. Is it just poor optimization or what's going on? Do we have to start a bunch of threads for it to get looked at?

Yup, does it for me as well.

It's the same on Xbox. Craglorn has been like that for years. Rather annoying...

Here 1 sec, gone the next, seems normal in Craglorn these days...

It comes and goes for me. Had me worried because I just spent $2500 on a new computer and first thing I noticed when I logged on was that haha.

PC/NA, I noticed this the last time I was collecting surveys and about had a panic attack thinking something was wrong with my computer. I was all over the place in all the zones that day, but it only happened in Craglorn.

Didn't have that one in ages. But heared people complaining about it.

Holycannoli · March 2019

I get this in Cyrodiil too, in spots.

General_Zeranth · March 2019

Xbox NA here and I have this happening too, but its not just Craglorn and Cyrodiil for me its various areas. I've seen it in Auridon, Glenumbra, The Rift. Its annoying as heck.

Yup, me, too; various places in addition to Craglorn and Cyrodiil.
I get it in Eldenroot as I'm approaching the wayshrine.

I too have seen this in craglorn, it doesn't seem to be a specific subzone in there as I had the glitch on the other side of the zone too. I haven't really noticed it in other zones before.

Siohwenoeht · March 2019

Xb1. I see it frequently around the border of craglorn, never in the interior part of the map though.

Pink_E_808 · March 2019

I'm on PS4 and have had that happen to me in both Craglorn and Cyrodiil, too.

It's starting to bleed into Aetherian Archive now too

Glad I'm seeing this thread, I've been having crashing/freezing issues lately, was in Craglorn for the first time in a while and when I saw this happening, I thought for sure it was my sshd or ps4 confirming it is fugged. I rebooted and it stopped for now.

Same

Xbox1/NA. It's even more fun when you're trying to navigate dangerous mountain terrain.

Craglorn overall seems to be the worst, though I've also seen it in Auridon and parts of Cyrodil.

Has anyone else with this problem tried rebooting their PC or console, and with what result?

This bug has been here for the 3 years I've played the game. Restarting doesn't do anything. Neither does posting about it on the forums as Zos has ignored every single thread about it. The only response you'll get from them on this thread is when they'll move it to bug reports so it can die a slow death.

TheLastZendai · November 2019

I have this exact same problem as well.

woe · November 2019

This has been the case in Craglorn for as long as i can remember playing the game.

Gythral · November 2019

Craglorn - more like Forlorn, any hope of this 5 year old issue getting looking at faded long ago!

Kali_Despoine · November 2019

Oblivion is coming
looks like a second world is trying to brake through
I see this (though not as bad) practically everywhere
PS4

LoneStar2911 · November 2019

Same issue. It makes my game and/or video card crash, on occasion. Had it happen to me in Wrothgar earlier and I was able to reach a wayshrine and go somewhere else before the game crashed.
Ridiculous.

Kesstryl · November 2019

This also happens to me in Craglorn. It seems to be the only place this happens that I know of.

heaven13 · November 2019

Always happens in Craglorn for me. It's like the game gets confused what is supposed to be where (you can see 11 seconds you've got shadows and stuff for trees that aren't actually there, rather than just a loss of textures). The other zone that gets this bad for me is, of course, Cyrodiil. I stopped and recorded it one day and it looked like Farragut was trying to add extra resources to the outer wall!

jadarock · November 2019

That and the pink sky glitch happens to me in cyrodiil too
