Char creation, just bad pc or something else?

Post » Sun Mar 02, 2014 10:01 am

Hello Everyone.

So i got my key for the elder scrolls online, I am a huge fan and LOVED the option that i actually could play it now!
Sadly, My computer is Bad. And loading takes forever, When it is loaded Into char screen I just get a sword and thats it. Just blank everything but i can adjust my char. But not see what i am doing.

Does this has to do with my bad computer or is it something else?

Loading takes long so might be due my bad computer.

Hope this was clear enough.

Thanks for reading

Make sure drivers are the latest.

If your computer is really old it may be lacking the shader model version the game needs, but generally the game would notify you and not launch then. Without giving us any specs it's hard to know.

Like I said, updating your drivers to the latest is the first thing you should do. This is usually software related.

The game requires Shader Model 3, and if your graphic card doesn't support that it would need to be over a decade old. If that's the case, many games would not work on your computer because most require Shader Model 3 at this point. Outside of that, there's nothing that would cause what you are experiencing. A slow computer will still load everything, it will just be unplayable, and if it didn't have the RAM to store it - you'd get out of RAM errors.

Your system should be able to play the game fine.

It's likely out of date drivers.

Well, validate your files for the game. I was reading another thread and people were having problems due to missing files that didn't get downloaded. (It happens) Hopefully that will help.

1. Ok the first thing you must try is repair the client to be sure that there aren't corrupted files. Also it may be HD bad sectors.

2, I suggest you to completly uninstall the AMD drivers and do a clean install of the latest available for your card. Old AMD drivers were known for not updating properly.

3. Start testing the lowest resolution and graphic quality.

if you can play Skyrim you should be able to play ESO.

Are you using Windows 7? If so, the "No need to update" comment may be false. I found that Windows 7 was not great at seeing if my stuff needed update. there are some free programs you can download online that will tell you if your drivers need to be updated or not. Just google something like "driver update program" and start from there.
