Ghost/Projection Bug help?

NombreDeLaBeast · May 2014

Just popping in to say, yeah I am experiencing this glitch as well. I cant do Anchors or any quest that involves killing ghosts. (I could but the fact that you see the one that is targeted but there may be 20 right behind you and wont know until your health goes from 1900 to 0 in .5 seconds...not that it happened to me or anything.)

I'm having this issue too, thought it affects more than just projection creatures. Wolves and spiders are invisible too. I bugged it with a screenshot in-game.

It started right after the patch just like everyone else is reporting. I tried clearing cache, rebooting, verifying my drivers (latest), to no avail.

I noticed that my base install is still 'Elder Scrolls Online Beta', so I uninstalled, and am attempting a full clean reinstall from the digital download. I will report to this thread if there is any change.

I'm using GeForce 335.23 Driver, released 3.10.2014

Update:

Uninstalled ESO Beta, and cleaned out all files.
Cleared all caches and rebooted.
Downloaded installer and installed ESO fresh.
Downloaded entire patch.

The Prophet is still invisible, and presumably the other mobs are too.

I suppose if I want to play I will need to use ESP and be a true Blind Fighter to avoid getting ganked by invisible monsters.

Fun times.

Same here. Playing as an DragonKnight so Green Blood demonstrates this perfectly (as shown in previous screenshots here).

Mablung · May 2014

I am getting the same issue since patch. I am not using SLi. Just a single 680GTX with current driver.

Rogue78 · May 2014

Same here Radeon HD7700, latest Catalyst, no Crossfire, getting the bug on all resolutions/detail settings and no matter if I play in a window/windowed fullscreen/fullscreen.

mobihci · May 2014

got this problem too, radeon hd6850 with no crossfire and NO catalyst cc, so it is a raw video driver access issue. the game causes some other graphics issues that didnt exist before the last patch-

1/ invisible ghosts

2/ crash with flicker on/after some load screens which kill the video driver. even though eso can be terminated, there are still issues with the driver. the pc needs to be rebooted for the problem to be resolved. <-- serious issue

3/ with the templar after using the biting jabs, the animation of the lance ends, but the lance remains in your hands for a random length of time. my character puts the lance away like a normal weapon when interacting with npc etc, but will always turn back to the mace that is meant to be there.

to the top bump.

Hadezor · May 2014

Can we get a Mod/Admin just to acknowledge this bug?!

The game Is ''playable'' to an extent, but if this bug doesn't get fixed, it hardly justifies the subscription for the upcoming month.
I'm a MT in a HC PvE guild looking on clearing trails this week, but with the current state of my game I'm a liability in the raid. So there goes the sole reason I still play ESO out of the window.
Sad really, I was one of the few that actually enjoyed this game.

Moonchilde · May 2014

bumping for visiblilty - this is an actual bug thread, not a complaint

Tanabe · May 2014

up we go bump.

This! A thousand times this. Had this happen on my system twice. The driver crash is brutal. Usually if that happens, which is very rare, it re-initializes itself. Not in this case though. The entire system needs a re-boot. I am very hesitant to put my card and my system through this ordeal just to play for an hour tops. Combine this with the memory leak issue and it turns this patch into one giant game breaking mess.

I have already contacted costumer support about this and send them dxdiag, eso diagnostic tool report and a msinfo report. Hopefully they will come up with something fast. Oh hand the lovely early access freezes in cities are back too.

I really can't see myself renewing my subscription in a few days under these circumstances...

Albarich · May 2014

Ghosts/ Prophet/ sometimes my char/ ghostly creatures are only noticable through the Health Bar.

What i discovered, when my own char was invisible the shadow was still projected on the ground.
Out of couriosity i changed the armour and my avatar was visible again,...

Edit:
This is the first time that i experienced this specific problem.

Mablung · May 2014

Submitted a ticket for the Quest a Look in the Mirror. This is a great example of what is happening. The 'dead' npc's appear as blue balls or not at all. Also when doing the questline to free King Emeric from his dream, every ghost mob is not visible unless you happen to mouse over them with the reticule. Then you can see their outline in red.

Like everyone else here has said, no issue before patch. First image is of the red outline of mob, the second is blue blob npcs.

schoots28ub17_ESO · May 2014

All:

Having the same issue after patch. OEM nVidia card on a Sony Laptop (which means Sony has provided no video card updates since purchase in 2011). If this bug post-ESO patch is related to nVidia cards then is is not related to the version of the card as mine was born 2011 and has the issue (GeForce 9600M GT).

Tanabe · May 2014

ok after reinstall that did not help,i delete the usersettings and shadercache.cooked file from same folders as where addons is keept and then messed with my settings ingame that are all at high/ultra and turning em of one by one and after i turned off Water reflection quality, my green dragons blood Works fine Again and the spirits i had been fighting blind i could see as like a Black shade(dunno how they really look like as i never seen em as i am in a new zone) and the two big areas on my screen that was fubar is gone, i have not tested it more yet since champs is starting Again.

Mablung · May 2014

Having seen the many attempts here by those trying to work around the issue, it is becoming obvious to me that this is a server side problem and not client side. We have provided plenty of information to get the ball rolling as to what could be causing this and have had no response from ZOS. It would be nice to at least have our issue acknowledged.

Brentai · May 2014

make sure that if you have the issue that you raise it as a bug in game. Also I have tried deleting those settings files in my addon folder and it didn't do anything.

Mablung · May 2014

Well, they must have taken the weekend off.

Moonchilde · May 2014

I think this issue is lower on their priority list, because those of us affected still have some game content we can play, whereas there are other bugs that are preventing some people from even logging in. We'll just have to be patient.

eobethb14_ESO · May 2014

I just died to this. Kept getting attacked by invisible ghost mobs. I also get a large purple blob above my head intermittantly. Maybe door shaped?

fougerec99b16_ESO · May 2014

Add me to the list. Radeon 7700, up to date drivers. No issues pre-patch.

AsaMii · May 2014

Same probleme here... I have a Gforce GTX 760

Moonchilde · May 2014

Z just put out a hotfix to correct the mob level imbalance issue for level 50+ content. So, now we know where the priority falls.

Lets see what takes 2nd and 3rd place. With this known, we can set expectations if there are future patche issues.

Hadezor · May 2014

Tanked the axes on the Mage boss in trails tonight... It was very interesting due to this bug.

Moonchilde · May 2014

I'm starting to learn how to blind fight.. it is getting interesting actually

I've found a temporary fix for this issue, assuming you have a DX11 compatible card.
I had actually set my game to DX9 to test out SMAA (still doesn't work), and was surprised to find forcing it to DX11 in UserSettings seems to fix it.

Navigate to " C:\Users\YOURUSER\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live" (or liveeu if you play on EU megaserver)
open "UserSettings.txt"
search (Crtl+F) for "SET GraphicsDriver.7"
change D3D9 to D3D11

If your card is not DX11 compatible you can also try "OpenGL" but, at least on my system, it takes a massive performance hit.

Unfortunately this did not work for me.

CONFIRMED, I can see ghosts and such critters again! Thank you, this reminds me of a Linux Wine tweak
