I think its due to the fact that every character is updating at logging.

Probably will stop when everyone will be up to date with the achievements

standard patch day blues, EVERYONE is login in at the same time, FPS will stagger throughout the day and become worse at primetime as will load times

i know the difference

Yeah, seeing large swings this morning. Going from 90 fps down to 20-40 in cities.

Does not look like it. I've already logged into each character. FPS drops start when objects are loaded, when I move around the map.

It's not just you, it's all player. The server database today keep getting hammered when people login, so server performance today is expected to be worse than usual.

But what about fps? I understand if it was ping and other connection problems. But fps?

Upd: All the same, it seems that fps drops appear when a lot of characters are loaded. At the same time, I noticed that my CPU is used by 90-100% at the moment of FPS drop. @ZOS_GinaBruno please take note.

I am having an issue too. My ping is only 97, but my fps is low at 36. I checked and my GPU (Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti) is running at 100% usage. Logged out of the game and closed the client. Noticed it was still at 100%. Checked windows task manager. Even though a window was not open, there was an instance of ESO running that was using up 100% of the GPU. Used task manager to end that process. Now GPU is at 0% (this was expected).

Restarted the client. GPU still at 0% (again expected). Logged into the game and loaded a character. Usage is at between 70-75%. Prior to update it was in the 40-50 range. Game appears to be running smoother now, even though GPU usage is significantly increased (from 40% to 70%).

So in my case, it was a runaway instance of the game that required entering Windows task manager to find it (no window was open and no icon was showing anywhere). Forcing that run away process to end seems to have fixed the problem. I am assuming that the GPU usage increase is a result of the update and new features.

same problem here
broken fps

I had the opposite like 10 plus fps but lost latency

FPS became unstable. When driving in cities, drawdowns appeared. Who else has the same? Before the patch, there were no such problems. I've tried disabling all addons and various graphics settings. But it doesn't help.

I've had horrible FPS drops and ridiculous high ping (+999) for well over a week before this update.

And today the icing on the cake was absurdly long load screens. 2-3 minutes to exit a thieves den, 4-5 minutes to enter a dungeon or port between wayshrines.

The game is simply unplayable for me at its current state.

Yep, seeing large swings... Fps 1-10 in cities and open world.
And my character was blocked. (

Hi, i can confirm this is happening to a lot of people in my guild:
I'm a pvper and personally, the introduction of multi-thread rendering got rid of most of my latency issues to my cpu with the FPS dropping to 3-10fps instead of bottlenecking the system causing system beeps even in 70vs70 size fights
Since this new patch on Monday 14th, ALL of the cores on my CPU are now clipping at 100% as soon as there are even 10 enemies on the screen causing my whole system to lock up completely for seconds at a time. I repeat, i was having the occasional 100% cpu use on one core every once in a while before this new patch, now it is locking the pc every 10 seconds or so with all 8 cores maxing out for at least 3 seconds each time.
Bearing in mind it is really too soon for people to be running a lot of new particle effects from new sets that could potentially cause pc latency and also the processing power of many people's pcs, the question is what's causing this effect with about 10% of the pvp population present.
As for other people in my guild, they have much more up to date pcs than me and instead of getting their normal 90-100fps, they're getting drops to 20fps in small fights so when their pcs were handling 200 people in the area easily, now their pcs are getting 80% framerate drop with little going on in-game.
I may add, i've heard quite a few people mention that their GPU is running at or near 100% when it wasn't even running at 25% before this patch
It would be good to get some manner of official response for this because it is making the game literally unplayable for people who were managing fine before this most recent patch.
There may be things i can add to this once i've had a run around in cyro tonight but i'd appreciate anyone else commenting on this if they have any problems no matter how slight they may seem. I'm guessing that the more up to date/expensive your pc is, the less of an impact this will have.
Thanks

I'm play in 3 PCs... The patch impact on every one.
- Cryo became almost unplayable on the HP notebook (i7-10, 16MB, Integrated graphics) what I usually use for work.
On lower settings I had really smooth game experience before patch. Now 3-8 FPS when 5-6 peep sieging a keep.
Processor usage at 90-99%.
- Not much better on my gaming laptop a 2 year old Acer Nitro (i7-10, 8GB, Geforce 1660Ti 4GB). When players come,
the performance drops almost 60-70% down. 12-20 FPS so-so playable, but fairly high setting (shadows and reflection are
medium) NO PROBLEM BEFORE UPDATE. Processor usage: 85-99%, memory: 50-54%, GPU: 40-60%
- My desktop PC (i7-10, 32GB, Geforce 2060 6GB) drops significantly too. 90-100 to 19-30 FPS, over 90% processor usage.
Before the patch worked really nice.

I tried to set manually everthing, threads, CPU-s, GPU-s, process priorities, rendering, graphics settings, nothing really helped.
I only won a few insignificant FPS with anything. I'm sure it's some kind of coding problem, when loading objects , but mostly other players.

Finally here's a kicker. Sometimes my grandpa plays ESO on his dinosaur PC. Core 2 Quad, 8GB DDR3, Geforce 660Ti 2GB.
Ten years old iron and this 2014ish game ran really well on that with 30-40FPS... until the patch.

Hey team! Can you tell us something about this?
