Was at the scene with the dolmen.

Part way into the video it froze, then the audio quickly chopped its way forward before the video resumed a few seconds later. Buggy for sure but it thankfully didn't crash me.

I didn't crash out but the cinematic is very choppy. As bad as it was I was afraid it was going to crash at any moment.

aipex8_ESO · June 2021

Super choppy, so I skipped as well.

dinokstrunz · June 2021

no crash but did look pretty choppy in some sections of the trailer

Jem_Kindheart · June 2021

Same, I had very low FPS in the intro video then a game crash. Then very low FPS again leading to a Blue Screen of Death and system reboot. Then very low FPS again video which I skipped this time out of caution. *shrug*

SantieClaws · June 2021

The crash this one has was a hard freeze then a grey screen and required a reboot.

Khajiit then skipped the intro next time round.

I hope all this gets fixed by the time I get home today.

Started the download early before going to work. Assuming a subsequent patch download will be necessary prior to playing.

SantieClaws · June 2021

You can skip the cinematic so hopefully you should be able to get in without bother.

At least this one thinks you can skip it first time round ...

Adjusting my volume makes the cinematic stop lol. That’s so weird. So I just let it play without touching the keyboard and it worked just fine 🤓

But it's a nice cinematic. Adds context to the game for those who'd otherwise be confused. V nicely put together. These guys do good trailers!

Uh that new cinematic is such a call back to the original one. The old music, the old voiceover very nice. Of course with the newer regions, I like it and even PvP is shown for a few seconds.

Yes, the new/old cinematic was the main reason I came to the forums this morning, to see if everyone was raving about how great it was because of its similarity to the original tutorial's opening-- which I've never seen except when people post videos of the original tutorial.

Jacozilla · June 2021

wouldn't know, can't play as steam says still not launched yet, unlocks in approx 3 hours - which would be ~9am PST

CoronHR · June 2021

for me it was 5 fps for half of it, then it levelled out. wanted to be impressed, was difficult

LalMirchi · June 2021

Really liked the cinematic

NoireJin the Witchking · June 2021

Was choppy is most parts considering my CPU went from 50ish degrees to 78ish at times bc of the cinematic i would have thought it would ran smoother. Seemed like a client thing tho. Actuall gameplay still feels smooth tho

Celephantsylvius_Bornasfinmo · June 2021

Yeah but the thing is most of us on EU are at work at the moment. Wait until prime time begins!
I hope this streak of no problems continues throughout the evening

ArchMikem · June 2021

ZOS is secretly stress testing your rigs and most of you failed. Just watch, ESOCinematic is the new Cinebench.

Starlight_Whisper · June 2021

Yep it's extremely chopping which is sad because really would of loved it

ZOS_JessicaFolsom · June 2021

Hi all, we want you to know that we have seen this thread and are investigating.

NovaDrakkon · June 2021

Did you guys have a Blackwood cinematic? My husband and I just saw what seemed to be an OG ESO cinematic - lots of Dark Anchors, all base zones, and none of the relevant characters for Blackwood. It also didn't say Blackwood at the end - Just The Elder Scrolls Online.

That being said, it played perfectly fine without any choppyness, etc.

Or rather an Original ESO cinematic lol.

On PC/NA, I didn't freeze or crash, but it was really choppy & I generally do not have frame rate issues. It was the worst right at the beginning when the prophet was walking with his back turned.

😂 That's must be why I liked it so much. I just thought they were paying homeage to past

DarcyMardin · June 2021

Mine looked like the original cinematic...the Prophet’s voice and all. Dolmens. Made me nostalgic, but was that the right cinematic??

Pendrillion · June 2021

I also saw this when I went in. Also frame drops when the prophet appears...

I didn't crash but the cinematic was very choppy.

Can you also please let us know if cinematics now respect in-game volume settings?

I have my game master volume turned down to 10% because that’s plenty loud with my headphones at 100% of their own volume. Recently I’ve had it lower still.

Last year’s cinematic was absolutely ear-splitting because it failed to respect the master game volume. Having audio going at full blast with no warning is not a pleasant experience, and it seriously takes away from the enjoyment of the artists’ work.
