This post notes all known discovered issues noted throughout Update 49 Launch Day across all platforms. We will add to this list as issues come up. Thank you.

Issue: Those running a multi-monitor setup, booting up ESO may have the game screen appear on the wrong monitor, despite your settings.
  • Update: In our testing of this issue, we have had inconsistent results reproducing it. We're continuing to look at it but don't currently have a fix.
  • Workaround: As a temporary workaround, you can change your monitor assignments in the Windows Display Settings, but we recognize this isn't ideal.

Issue: Reports of getting dismounted on the bridge in Stormhaven leading into Wayrest from Dro-Dara Plantation Wayshring after today's patch.
  • Update: We believe the Archway does not have the correct fixture setting, causing the issue.

Issue: Identified a bug with Igneous Weapons animation cancelling
  • Update: We have recorded the bug and are investigating a fix.

Issue: Scion of the Blood Matron Quest not working as intended.
  • Update: We have identified the general cause of the issue. However, we are investigating why the issue is happening.
  • Workaround: Based on player reports, abandoning the quest and starting it back up can resolve the issue.

Issue: Xbox Screen Flickering
  • Update: This is a known issue and we have a fix. We are working to figure out when we can issue a fix.

Issue: Client crashing while trying to join a group via the Dungeon Finder.
  • Update: We are investigating the cause of this issue.

Issue: Reports of some visual issues being too blurry or too sharp.
  • Update: We are asking for players being impacted by this, to submit some pictures to showcase the reported issue.

Issue: Cyrodiil End of campaign rewards tiers reset post-update.
  • Update: We are investigating.

Issue: Searing Claw III and Searing Claw IV are not showcasing differently in the tooltip. Which they should be.
  • Update: Issue has been identified and will be fixed in an upcoming update.

Issue: The Nightblade Mark Target ability and its morphs are now generating aggro
  • Update: We have confirmed that Mark Target and its morphs should not be generating aggro. We now have a bug in for this.

Issue: [PS5] Change profile option on main login - nothing happens when interacting with this, and it renders the "Play" button non functional as well, requiring closing the game to fix it.
  • Update: We have confirmed that this button/option is not functioning as intended, and now have a bug in for this.

Issue: Cyrodiil End of Campaign reward tiers have been reset
  • Update: We were able to identify what's going on here. The leaderboard data and ranks you are seeing are obviously incorrect, but we found the underlying data on our end is correct. This is good because all your AP gains are being recorded appropriately and correctly. We're working on getting this fixed for the first incremental patch, and once that rolls out, leaderboards will automatically update and include any AP/ranks gained during that time.
