gp1680 · March 2020

I'm eager to know as well, but I'd really wait a few days to judge the performance. Initial responses will be interesting to hear I suppose, but I'd take them with a grain of salt.

Patch day is never a very good guide.

Well the crashing on PC was evident right away. I’m hoping the patch was updated to fix that for console.

It will be maybe tomorrow before I can get on. My console download is very, very slow.

It was said by ZOS in another thread that today we had two updates - the big giant Update 25 patch, and then a separate, smaller patch behind it which was the patch they pushed to PC to resolve some of the Update 25 issues they had had.

So, yes, we got their patch today alongside our mega-update.

Nothing is looking good currently especially in pvp we ended up getting the Stamina recovery bug that they clam was a UI error for PC with there addons, you can really feel the block canceling in PVE as well so not looking good as of now also my first attempt at a 1vX in pvp since the patch dropped I went from 28k HP to dead in under a sec from 4 snipers

Any noticeable difference in lag or skill delays?

Have you done any BGs yet?

Seems alright, block cancel seems alright to me too. Its early days but game feels smoother. However cyro is only 1 bar pop of each so gna have to wait untill later to see what the deal is.

Nope same lag and skill delays and we only have 1 bar on each side of things

So far with the One X/300 ms internet

Can no longer cast block while sprinting, whether on foot or mounted(to dismount) is my biggest issue this far.
Ran both new dungeons on normal, ran nice and smooth.
Load screen after char selection seems a tad faster.
Used rapids with mount speed 60 and went full speed across sumerset, seemed like the occasional fps drop I used to get clears up a bit faster. Also noticed some of the landscape decorations rendering a bit slower than I'm used to.

Load screen art and music my favorite thus far by a long shot.

One bad thing, I've been disconnected 3 times already testing out block and given the message that I was excessive messaging/spamming lol

Thanks for the heads-up.... trying to test block cancel? Kicked off server for spamming. You actually spam the horribly low prices you are buying mats at in every single zone? No that's fine, those people don't get banned.

Nothing has changed for me. Long load screens, black silhouettes, textures taking way too long to materialize...disappointed right out of the gate.

Yes, I couldn't upgrade riding skills. 'Delete Everywhere' on the save file fixed it.

SpLaTTyDaDDy · March 2020

Xbox 1 X. Only had 1 long load screen but wasnt super long and was loading into wayrest undaunted area for quests.
I do notice some frame dips while doing elden hollow darkroot boss and the gargoyle guy in volenfell. Wasnt super awful hoping it's just the servers flooded with people downloading. I'll see how terrible things actually get tonight after I get the kiddos to bed. Goodluck everyone!

DelosTheta · March 2020

On PS4 Pro, it looked pretty good. No black silhouettes, no sudden loading screen in the middle of combat in Cyrodiil. Of course, this is not prime time. I did see one enemy suddenly run forward like reverse flash.

I feel a little sad that I’ve been working hard on Kaal, only to end up having it vanish completely, replaced by gray host.

I'm not home yet but on PS4 do we need to do anything other than log in and it will download on it's own? Or?

I crashed once when I first loaded the game. I made it to character select and bluescreened moving a toon to the top of my list. I tested a few things while doing my daily writs and didn't have another crash while doing it, but this isn't exactly cyrodiil load lol. I was on lunch break so i didn't have time to go into any dungeons etc..

Starlock · March 2020

No problems so far.

There were only a few things I noticed:

The game eats 30 less gigs than it did before, which is all kinds of awesome.
Map zooming felt a lot more responsive than it has.
Block doesn't feel or look much different, which is actually kind of disappointing to me. I was hoping for block cancelling to look significantly less wonky, but... well... it's still annoyingly wonky. Oh well.
I had about a 1 second freeze up that was a bit unusual, then everything went back to normal.
I couldn't dismount using block while sprinting on my mount towards a dolmen, which was bizarre.
Everything basically played fine.

It operates like any other past update/patch. You can either launch the game, which will notice it has an update and start the download. Or you can simply turn your PS4 on, click over to the ESO icon, click Options on your controller, and select "check for updates". That also launches the download without you having to even launch the game.

Mine was 64 GB (I still run on my original disc). Digital game download is apparently somewhat smaller. And then there is another, smaller patch that will download after your big one - that second patch is the incremental one PC got after their Update 25 to fix some of their crashing issues that Update 25 introduced to them.
