You might have to turn on the option in the game files if it turns back off when you restart. Go to documents > The Elder Scrolls Online and click UserSettings and look for RENDER_THREAD, change the 0 next to it to 1. Exit out and save when it asks you to save. Retry and see if that works. If it doesn't, do it again and this time at the end right click UserSettings and go down and check the box that says Read Only. You might have to uncheck it before being able to edit it like I said.

I haven't experienced any issues with it yet, but at 1080p with settings maxed out I was getting 50 fps at the crafting stations in Vivec with A LOT of players in view. The performance increase is simply stunning, and my system isn't even high-end - AMD Ryzen 1500X, NVIDIA 1050 Ti.
what does PSA mean?
Public Service Announcement, I assume.

No such option in my usersettings for live.
Its in the usersettings for PTS though.
Gotta feeling I'm gonna have to delete and reinstall the game.

It wasn't in my user settings file either. I added SET RENDER_THREAD "1" in the file (after unchecking Read Only in Properties), saved the file, rechecked Read Only, and restarted the game. It's now showing as ON in the Video Settings menu. However, as someone else noted, I'm now seeing the chapter video every time I start the game. Anyone know how to disable that?

I would delete your ini file and let the game generate a new one. For some reason your game might have it set to read only. The file was to be replaced with this patch.

My user settings file has been set read only from day one of game install. I can try that (um.... do you mean UserSettings.txt? I don't see an .ini file for the game - just for crash reporter and d3dx....) and see what happens, though I'll save the current one as there are a few other tweaks in it I want to keep.

Having your usersettings set to read only means any change you make to settings can never be saved. That is probably also why this new setting keeps getting removed from your file.
There are times when you would want to set it to Read Only, like if you want to keep a setting outside of the games available range for that setting since the game will often default to a standard value in such a case but those situations are rare.
edit: Also note, settings are saved to the usersettings file only upon successfully exiting the game. Alt-F4 or otherwise terminating the game will cause all of your in-game changes to be lost.

I never exit "abnormally". And I'm not kidding when I say the file has been set read only since I first installed the game. Yes, when I've edited the file I've unset read only, made the change, saved the file, then reset read only (since that was how it arrived out of the tin as it were).
The changes I've made are saved - because I've unset the file as read only, made the changes, saved the file, then reset read only.
I've been into the game four times since I added the line about threading. It's still there, and the vid settings are showing that threading is on, which it wasn't before I added the line to the file. And my FPS is better by about 20%, most likely because of that change.
And perhaps you can tell me how to make the chapter video stop playing every time I enter the game?

It may just be me, but framerate also seems a bit more stable with or without the setting on. Guessing the graphics stack may have had several improvements with this update?
Hopefully if stability proves to be good, the new MTR setting becomes enabled by default next patch for many players new and existing that will likely not even turn this on (or even know about it) which could potentially improve their entire game experience all around.
+1 on this being a great performance improvement in many areas, a nice surprise to see. Keep this kind of stuff up ZoS!

In the morning I will move the usersettings file to desktop, to see if the game recreates it.

There's an area in Murkmire I want to test when I get the chance. The place where you turn in all the tablets for the Murkmire version of the "Museum" hunt all the zones have these days.
If I go there and face west, my FPS goes from 60+ down to 30 for no apparent reason. It's done this for years through several hardware changes and settings set to lowest makes no difference.
I want to test that area.

Or make a copy of it and throw the copy on your desktop, then turn off the read only attribute on your "live" one and let the game update it. This way you don't have to redo all your settings.
