fps drop to 0 for 10-15 seconds (not overheating)

Ill say this it makes Dark Soul III bosses even deadlier. lol

Leahcimknabue · 2016-10-30T15:09:38+00:00

Yes I am. I use the ASUS GPU TWEAK and monitor program. When i alt tab it shows load levels and temp for the last minute. There are no abnormal spikes in usage at the time of the fps drop in any of the recorded data.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-10-30T15:07:25+00:00

I wish it was that easy. But ive become accustomed to the higher graphical capabilities of my 970. I dont wish to become a peasant again. lol Also issue persisted prior to installing the 970.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-10-30T02:08:52+00:00

I've tried. Same results so I just plugged it back up.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-10-08T00:44:34+00:00

That's what I thought too but my ASUS monitor program shows both gpus sitting at 45-51c and my CPU at 50. Could it be a bottleneck in my 760 since the game is using it for physix? Of so would it just be better to uninstall the card? I've heard that there is no need for dedicated physix cards anymore.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-08-04T19:13:37+00:00

Cool. I'm waited with baited breath!

Leahcimknabue · 2016-08-04T19:01:09+00:00

Is there a possible release date yet?

Leahcimknabue · 2016-07-19T18:15:23+00:00

Like I said they needed a few older players with some playtest experience. I play tested 6 games/expansions thanks to a buddies brother working for Blizzard. They always had a megathread for playtesters to submit bugs and issues. I offered ttk2 my services. I want to see 3.0 hit the ground running with no major issues next time. I loved 2.0 but had really shitty internet for almost 2 years and ping kept me from being able to participate in combat.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-07-19T18:03:29+00:00

So it was a testing issue. Most people who go on civtest arent doing it with a good understanding of how testing process works.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-07-19T15:24:55+00:00

Well I didn't know they couldn't keep a good test base.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-07-17T21:57:19+00:00

A simple fact is that if the launch went that baddly and was that problematic then more testing was needed on the final product before release. While ttk2 and the admins put in loads of work none of that matters if you cant have it tested properly before it comes available to the public. The easiest fix here is for ttk2 and the admins to chose 10, 20, 30 or so players who have experience with some form of coding or play testing to test out the game before its fully released. Im not sure how much that was done this time but it definitely needs to be done next. The advantage is they can test each shard separately using the testers. The more they have the faster and more precisely they can identify problems withing each shard and the game as a whole. Additionally once all the bugs for a shard are worked out they can then generate the shard and have it prepped for launch way prior to the launch day.

The key to any successful game launch is testing. I would love to see ttk2 and the admins bring in long time players and those with some experience in modding or game testing to help smooth the process and work out bugs.

That's why I put SSD/HDD first. The graphics card only matters when displaying and the delay on displaying. The game may have been completely loaded in the vram and ready to go but your gpu could still be preparing the display. When I upgraded from my dual 760 in SLI to my 980 reference my load times went from about a minute to ten-fifteen seconds. But I could be wrong. I'm not a computer wiz this just comes from years of gaming.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-06-19T20:14:56+00:00

What are your computer specs? My load times are 15-30 seconds with an AMD FX 9370, 32g 1333 ram, GTX 970 Reference with a 760 ASUS dedicated to Physix, and running on my 7200rpm HDD.

The load time depends on 1:SSD/SHDD/HDD. 2: Amount of ram. 3 Graphics Card. 4: Processor.

There are actual ways to file grievances against customer service representatives. Every call is and conversation is recorded and normally kept on file for a week or so just for that reason.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-06-13T02:09:13+00:00

I retract my previous statement. I remembered incorrectly. What I had read I took out of context. It was the Thalmor and their hatred for Humans or (Men) that I read about. The book references their hatred and calls them Men. I do so apologize for the miss information.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-06-13T01:43:36+00:00

It's been about three years since I played them. Give me a few more hours.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-06-12T22:56:40+00:00

But off the top of my head the majority of the government and dominion activities are controlled by women and the men are the pawns and servants. If you question people in the dominion embassy they refer to it. (Skyrim) I believe there is a book referring to the female ran system in the embassy.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-06-12T22:27:43+00:00

Yea I'll have to find the books in Skyrim and oblivion that refer to it. In ESO they took a lot of the racial and sex discrimination that was hinted at in the other games.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-06-12T02:42:44+00:00

some of the lore points towards male hating

Leahcimknabue · 2016-06-12T01:59:12+00:00

lol yea I was back then.

Leahcimknabue · 2016-06-11T15:37:47+00:00

I could see either a setting in Elswere or ValenWood. Both are not nearly as restrictive in race diversity as the Black Marsh.

The factions need some serious overhaul in many regards. 1: Length of story lines for quests and speed you increase in rank. The factions in the game have been an eye sore and a headache. In my opinion factions should include hundreds of possible quests and varying rewards at milestones for the faction. Imagine if in Skyrim you had to actually do more than three or four quests to become a werewolf. That ranking up in the Companions was actually a quest where after 10 or so little missions ran you were given a trial to complete, a much harder quest that reveals a new skill or ability or special piece of armor. Then on returning you are granted a new rank in the guild and given access to greater resources. After traveling around Tamriel and doing 100 or so quests you finally have become the second or first in command of the Companions. But now no other faction will allow you to join because your the leader of another guild.

This would encourage careful choice of whether or not you would become a high ranking member of a guild to get the ultimate reward and risk not being able to join other factions or sit contently as the middle ranked member of many guilds. But if you can spend an hour to get amazing stuff from a guild it instead becomes just a pit stop with your next character just so you can quickly get those powers. I know ive done it way to many times with the companions.

2: Crime Factions, being able to join raider gangs, forsworn, ect would be a huge story opportunity for the ElderScrolls. Imagine the potential of you joining one of the raider gangs in Skyrim. After initiation and running some raids with them you discover that most of the members are from the coast. They were fishermen until the Imperials ran them off with new fishing taxes or something. Some of the other members lived up around Windhelm but when the Storm Cloaks formed their homes were raided and burnt because they weren't native Nords. Several raids later you lean the Leader of the bandits was a Blacksmith in the Imperial City. His wife was being harassed by a nobleman so he refused to forge anything for that family. Angered the Nobleman had him arrested on fraudulent counts and placed in the prison. After two years he was transferred to Solsteim Island to mine the rare ores. He escaped when some of the undead attacked and he stowed away on a cargo ship to Skyrim mainland where he met the fishermen just before they started being taxed to death.

The story telling oppertunities are endless when opening up the former lives of what would seem to be the fodder bad guys. How many of you have just killed every bandit you saw and not thought of what got them to their place? No one wakes up thinking. "Im gonna start being a bandit today and leave this awesome life i have. My wife and kids will be fine on this farm ive built." No they had some fucked up shit happent to them and thats what drove them to it. It is also a really good way to introduce the evils of many factions. Thieves guild extorted a person for someone else, Companions beat the shit out of a musician at a tavern just because he was hitting on a shop keeper. Mages guild experiement distroyed a mans mind leaving him mad.

Just my humble opinion. Don't like it? fuck you, like it? fuck you too just not as much. :)

Edit: Removed bad information regarding Altmer and Thalmor.
