Hey, I noticed you have the 6700k

Do you overclock, by chance?

i made a similar topic regarding this issue and it was closed with a referal to this topic. i was expecting a response here but apparently they'd rather keep the forums clean from complaints by closing them down instead of actually dealing with them :-/

Frame rate and performance issues in ESO can be caused by different things as PC setups will vary from player to player. We recommend anyone suffering performance issues to go through our basic troubleshooting listed here. If you've gone through these steps and your performance issues continue, you should then go ahead and open a ticket with customer support. In your ticket make sure to include a game consultant report so our support team can look over your PC specifications.

I'm currently now on the email where they want me to power cycle my network. Going to do it but we all know how that's going to turn out.

Probably it will not work but anyway write here if anything happens. I am currently not able to cycle network so I can't go futher with that ridiculous support.

This is a problem that has been around for years now and just gets worst and worst. I quit playing two or three years ago because of it and just recently built a pretty decent gaming machine and came back to try eso out and see if it performed any better on this new machine... annnnnd: No, no it doesn’t.

I am running an i9-9900k with all cores locked at 5ghz, 1080ti superclocked and water cooled, 32gb of DDR4-3800 xmp, Aurous master mobo, 1000watt high end PSU, liquid cooling all around and an acer predator ultrawide monitor.

@3440X1440 - 100hz, everything on high and particles set all the way down to lowest along with 75% view distance:

I start up the game and have a constant 100fps for around 15 minutes straight if outside of major cities. And then it starts to slowly decline over time... sometimes I can go for an hour or two before my fps gets to around 38-50, again, while staying outside of cities. And then sometimes I get maybe half an hour of gaming and it gets that low if I enter cities a lot or if there are lots of other players questing out there.

For instance: I can start in countryside somewhere and run around questing and avoiding major towns and cities. If I dont come across too many other players in that time my fps stays up around 80-95 for a long time (an hour or two) before it starts to come down. However, if I go into a town or location with lots of other players, then the fps drops very quickly to around 50 and then slowly goes down to between 35 and 50 fps at which point it annoys the hell out of me.

If I am in a solo instance or delve i can stay there indefinitely and ALWAYS be at 99-100fps ... even if other players are running around. If I am running a group delve I can stay up around 80 to 100 for usually the time it takes to run the delve, though the fps DOES decline very slowly over time and would eventually hit the bottom if the group delve went on long enough. I have yet to run a delve that is over an hour long however.

If you login in a city and run around and then head out to adventure you will only have half an hour to an hour before you get down into the 30-50 range and the game becomes, to me, unplayable.

No matter what I do, my fps ALWAYS drops (either slowly or quickly) over time, eventually reaching 30fps.

Now, I have run the game in medium, in low, at 50% view distance, without any addons (at all, like, completely erased and not just deactivated), and many combinations of the above and the problem constantly persists. My fps starts at a hard 100 and then slowly comes down over time until it reaches 30-40 constantly. I have never tried playing more to see if it goes even further down. The strange thing is that, at any point I can look straight up into the sky or down at the floor and my fps shoots back up to 100 while doing that. Even if my fps Has fallen to the 30-40 level it will shoot right back up to 100 when i look up.

So what do I do to make the game “playable”?

Well, while I am adventuring, if my frame rate drops to low levels (usually around 45-50) I will use a wayshrine and teleport somewhere else and then back again. If you leave the zone entirely to another and come back via wayshrine it will “kind of fix” the fps issue. I will be back at 100 fps, but it drops quicker than before, though it can buy you more time. You can also go into a delve or any other area that has a load screen and come back out and it will give you a reset as well. So, anything that causes you to go to a load screen allows you to mitigate the problem and buy you more time. I have also had it reset just by recalling to a shrine somewhere else in zone.

Eventually, however, you have to log out back to the character select screen and then come back in the game again. Though usually I can get maybe 2 to 3 hours of game time by wayshrining and entering delves and such before doing a full log out and login. However, with the inane load times in ESO it is ALWAYS a pain in the ass to have to zone out and back in to fix an idiotic fps problem.

So this is the state of the game for me now. I dont know what else to do and was hoping that building an entirely new gaming machine from the ground up would have maybe resolved the problem. I have also tried reinstalling the game, turning off all of my overclocks, messing with triple buffering in the nvidia control panel, and many other changes ... all to no avail. At this point I am not sure if i will buy the latest expansion or the new one coming out soon as I really dont enjoy the way the game runs (though i do enjoy the gameplay). It is really quite too bad honestly as I would be willing to spend a lot more money on crowns and play the game for a lot longer time if it just didnt annoy me so damned much.
