Some talk a few years back about a dx12 client being in the works. Is it still on the roadmap?
This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.

    hopefully it includes efficient gpu and multi core use and removes line of sight checks from the server side and we will immediately have great fps and pings again...

    The game is pretty much maintenance mode plus some new PvE content. DX12 is never happening unless some miracle happens. And even if it happens, it doesn't really mean it will be a good, stable port.

    lol "maintenance mode"

    This game is still actively developed. They release 3 DLC's plus one major expansion each year. They are still adding new classes and skill lines and mechanics. It's not a dead game where they are just doing cash shop cosmetics for whales.

    All that regular content, by the way, is all fully voice-acted, which is no trivial undertaking.

    From what I understand, the player numbers are good and the revenue is good. This is not a game on life support. It's one of the top 5 MMO's.

    I am not certain they have fully utilized the features made available to them in the DX9 to DX11 switch, yet.

    they also wrote about class identity once, still nothing happened about that and recently they said its not a focus currently...so...they simply dont seem to have the resources to address these things within reasonable time periods...

    The game is still actively in beta, yes. Hopefully there will be a full release that can run at 60 FPS in 2050.

    Also if you actually had the ability to read you would have realized I specifically said its maintenance mode plus DLC content. An actively developed game will receive meaningful fixed to bugs, performance issues and will have its mechanics set for years to come.

    We are YEEEAAAAAAARS into the game's life, the same performance issues keep getting worse, server is contantly on the verge of death, game balance is so bad every patch has a wave of people permanently quitting the game. Get a grip of reality.

    They also wrote about spellcrafting too. /shrug

    With the port to Stadia, I wonder if they might enable Vulkan for the PC. I am also hoping they will enable HDR, since apparently they plan to do that for Stadia.

    Maybe stadia will be the starting point.

    U can play ESO using Vulkan API but preformance is bad. I tested with DXVK 1.7

    There is no true HDR for ESO, nor for consoles or PC or Stadia.

    The "HDR" implementation on console is pure trash, it is just over saturation of the colors, no dynamic range increase at all, it makes the game look like cartoon animation.
