Macs aren't exactly known for their gaming prowess, but lately Mac users have been reporting severe problems when running The Elder Scrolls Online, with many labelling the game as "unplayable". The problems began on 22nd October, when multiple Mac users reported extremely low FPS following patch v4.2.5. Some claimed their FPS had dropped from 80-100 down to a measly 15-25 as a consequence of the update. This obviously made things difficult for players hoping to engage in PvP aspects of the game, where reaction time is key. As one player observed, the patch notes reveal ZeniMax has "switched the Mac renderer from OpenGL to MoltenVK (Metal) to support the release of the upcoming MacOS Mojave". And following a great deal of confusion on the support forums, ZeniMax has now confirmed that this is indeed the problem.

The Elder Scrolls Online wades into Murkmire today with new DLC
The Elder Scrolls Online has a lot going for it these days, but probably the most exciting part is exploring the weirder fringe regions of its world.

While perhaps not as strange as Morrowind’s mushroom-laden volcanic realms, it’s an enticing new location to explore. The DLC should be up once server maintenance ends today. Check out the lengthy patch notes here, and launch trailer below. The Murkmire DLC adds a new zone out on the southern tip of Tamriel, with new monsters, quests and (mostly reptilian) people to meet. It also includes a new dungeon of sorts. Blackrose Prison is an arena survival challenge, where four players fight waves of enemies. There are Normal and Veteran difficulty versions of Blackrose, with rewards to match. Probably the most tempting of the rewards are a set of unique … [Read more...] about The Elder Scrolls Online wades into Murkmire today with new DLC

Elder Scrolls Online Interview — Game Director Discusses Summerset and Recent Success
Bethesda’s MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online is coming off of its most successful year yet having reached 10 million players. Now with more players than ever, the game’s next expansion Summerset will bring even more Elder Scrolls lore and gameplay to the MMO’s largest audience yet. We got to speak to the Elder Scrolls Online‘s game director Matt Firor about the upcoming expansion’s new features as well as their recent milestone with the game. Michael: How does the next expansion of Elder Scrolls Online, Summerset, affect new players, as well as those who have put hours in? Matt Firor: ESO is not really level based.
