Why is no-one discussing the game's performance in Kyne's Aegis? (PS4)

AgaTheGreat · July 2020

vet Kyne's Aegis must be the most bugged trial this patch (Greymoore). You have to be extremely lucky to have a good instance and very little graphic bugs. In this case I had the worst possible one. The flashing lights that slowly deteriorate your ability to use skills. It's been reported many times but so far there's been no acknowledgement from ZOS, no ETA on a fix. I had to stay there like that, being guided by other members of the group, as if I'm blind... for 100m health of the boss. The entire last phase.
It was OK right at the beginning, but as soon as the boss landed, my game became a jumping mess of flashing shapes and colours. I am honestly fed up how BAD the performance is on the console. And I know I'm not the first nor the last person to experience this bug.

You want to see an even funnier one, check out the disco vka. It's awesome /s

Upper picture looks a lot like that I got back in TES 3 Morrowind on an genforce 2 card.

And yes its because ESO graphic is set up for overland outside of combat. Not trials or cyrodil.

Just laugh it off and remember it's just a game. As long as you have made a bug report in a professional manner there is nothing else to do. Bugs will be fixed in time once they figure out the cause and get to it in the pecking order.

Try looking up as soon as you drop down to the last stage. Works for me so far

I heard that as long as you don't look down while falling, it usually doesn't glitch. However, the same graphics bug is now in Sunspire as well. Last time I was in there all my bars went black and textures broke down.

On top of that maddening dragon scream. This game is falling apart by the day.

The audio bug is also fun. The entire game audio just DIES. It also carries through to other characters until you close the app.

I've heard about these too and I didn't look down. As I landed everything was fine. I had enough time to come closer to the main tank. As soon as the boss properly landed though, this poopshow started. I couldn't properly debuff, couldn't see anything, therefore the fight took longer than necessary.

I find it scandalous that you have to find weird ways to avoid visual bugs like that. Also there's literally no communication from Zeni's side. Are they going to fix it, or leave it till next patch. It's forking blue screens all over again. They also weren't patched for more than 3 months.

I think a lot of ppl do, just ZOS makes too much money to give a crap what we think. THANKS BLIZZ

Vaoh · July 2020

We do mention it, report it, etc.

ZOS doesn’t care enough to even acknowledge these types of issues. Realistically you should expect it to only get worse going forward until the trial can no longer be completed - that’s when we can maybe get priority fixes.

Most groups on my server already quit though and almost no one cares about running trial content seriously/for their trifectas anymore. It‘s unfortunate but true. I’d say complete all the vKA you want this patch while DPS and sustain is amazing due to Bfb and Bloodthirsty. After that it’ll be harder potentially even more buggy.

Quite a while ago, maybe a year ago, I had a few seconds of craziness just like in your second video. I'm on PcNA. For me; it ended up being an outdated graphics card driver that threw things off.

Has it always done that for you on that trial? Or has it just started doing that recently?

PS: those healers did a pretty good job in those videos. 😁👍

Everyone is getting it on PlayStation. Sometimes it's not a massive bug and sometimes it's something that prevents you from playing.

I've some truly bad news for you: coming from the XBox, I can attest the PS version has some of the most glaring issues I've seen in this game. Sound files, poor rendering, and the inability to properly track moving objects has plagued my game for nearly 30 days.

I'm trying to deal with them, but it's getting very frustrating. Going up against bosses that don't give me visible cues on their attack is the biggest one. How the hell am I supposed to block something I don't see coming?

My favorite so far has been a bat screaming "Circle around them!", though this was topped yesterday by a troll yelling at me in Japanese. I didn't even know all the language files were installed on my system.

I can't say if these issues have been around for 6 years, but I'm getting the feeling they have been.

Hold up. I just got another sound effect of fireworks going off entering the Mages Guild in Auridon. LOL. What a joke.

Performance for me can be hit or miss.

itscompton · July 2020

I don't know how you did that, I watched for a minute and the flashing made me so queasy I had to stop before I urpped.

If I stopped participating it would have been a rip as the guard was needed on the MT ;p But believe me, I was feeling it an hour after the trial. A massive headache right as I was about to go to bed

siddique · July 2020

Look at this nonsense.

ZaroktheImmortal · July 2020

I think game performance in general comes up a lot. There's probably a long list of issues that need to be fixed but so far well......

LOL. That’s a new one. I’ve had all sorts of broken UI issues too.

I’ve had my compass, input buttons next to my abilities, ability icons, combat text, resource numbers, boss health.... everything turn into random buggy squares. Have also had the textures of things pop up at me - some of my guildies have had this happen so bad it blocks your entire screen and drops you to <5 FPS until you leave the area. All of that besides the typical bluescreens/crashes.

It’s very bad and it’ll stay that way because ZOS won’t even acknowledge these issues.

robpr · July 2020

Holy crap, I'm grateful that we on EU have only audio bug on second boss...

This is why we need the LOL button back. How is that acceptable?

Tsar_Gekkou · July 2020

The only issues i've been seeing on Xbox NA are the sound dying after a while and people dcing on the floor breaks of the last boss. Progging the hardmode was a pain because it's such a long fight and if both tanks dc during a floor break, it's a wipe and you have to try again. Even worse if you get to the last floor break and it happens. Once I get the hardmode title on 2 more characters, i'm not going back in there.

AgaTheGreat · August 2020

What bothers me is that none of the PTS patch notes mentioned any of these problems.

TwilightAngel_89 · August 2020

I haven't talked about it cause I stopped playing a month ago due to personal/eso related reasons,if it's that bad don't play it it's simple.

Blood puddle doesn’t even display half the time
