They have tried both windowed and fullscreen modes on both Nvidia and AMD, on multiple machines. They've asked some follow up questions.
First and most importantly, is there a chance you are using cloud play and not the native ESO for Xbox Play Anywhere install? The latter is a new version of ESO and does require full download. If you are actually using the cloud play option, it is streaming it from a console so we would expect that to be stuck at 30fps.
If you are indeed using the native ESO for Xbox Play Anywhere client, could we please get the following info from you? For the first few bits of info, you could run a dxdiag on your machine to get this info.
- Processor
- GPU
- Memory
- OS
- What resolution are you running ESO on
- If you are running the game windowed or fullscreen
- If you are running any plugins
Thank you!
I can confirm it is running the installed version, not from cloud streaming.
Desktop:
3.7 GHz Intel Core Ultra 9 24-Core
64GB 5600 MT/s DDR5 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (16GB GDDR7)

ROG Xbox Ally X:
AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme
24GB LPDDR5X-8000

I don't think I'm running any plug-ins, can you give an example of some?
Thanks for looking into this!

Thank you @NeffyEnn! Are you saying you are running into the 30FPS cap for ESO on both your desktop and ROG Xbox Ally X?
And thank you as well for the info @ScottTheElite Sorry for the confusion with "plug-ins" - the dev who asked that intended to ask about if you all had any ESO add-ons installed.

I've fixed the issue on my end.
Adding the following into the Xbox Games\The Elder Scrolls Online- Tamriel Unlimited\Content\game\client\AppSettings text file unlocked my fps (Currently set to 180 cap)
SET MinFrameTime.2 "0.00555555"
Detailed guide for all:
Head over to where the game is installed (For me it's G:\Xbox Games\The Elder Scrolls Online- Tamriel Unlimited\Content\game\client) and find the text file AppSettings.
You will see 4 entries like this;
SET DepotId "1202"
SET DepotEditable "0"
SET ChannelName "xb1cert"
SET LoadPlatformsFromTitleStorage "1"
Directly under the 4th line, add this line;
SET MinFrameTime.2 "0.00555555"
Edit the value to the desired cap. 0.00555555 is a 180 FPS cap. To find your value, divide 1 by your target framerate cap. For example, to raise the cap to 144 FPS for 144hz monitors, it would be 1 divided by 144 = 0.0083333333333333.
Save the file and voila! Enjoy your uncapped game.

If you previously downloaded the placeholder version of ESO when it was listed as “Coming Soon,” please uninstall that version and start a fresh download to ensure you have the correct game files.
As an Xbox Play Anywhere experience, ESO uses Xbox servers even when playing on PC or on the ROG Ally. If you already own the game or have access via Xbox, you’ll be able to play using your ESO Xbox account on PC as well as the ROG Ally.
If you choose to jump in now, thank you—and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or encounter any issues.

Question because I am curious since this is an xbox play anywhere title will we still be required to get xbox game pass to play this or no?

Can you also use a script for changing resolution? My main monitor is 2560x1440, and secondary is 1920x1080. The game starts on my secondary, and when I switch to my main, I cannot get the resolution to 1440p.

My workaround for this for now was to disable my secondary monitor. Then I booted up the game and it forced it to go to my primary and it accepted the proper resolution. I then reenabled the secondary monitor and it keeps booting up on the correct one now. Not ideal, but it works now!

This worked perfectly for me.
