The Elders Scrolls Online Details Plans To Improve Server And Client Performance

Since last year, ZeniMax Online Studios has been working hard to optimize The Elder Scrolls Online and make sure that it “runs as best as it possibly can.” Following the release of Update 25, which includes the Patching Overhaul, the developers are now moving on to server and client optimization.

Update 26, scheduled to roll out in Q2 2020, will feature server-side updates which should improve the performance of non-combat pets and player character loading. On the client side, multi-threading will be used to make asset loading and character drawing more efficient, along with improvements to the effects manager and how AoE abilities are handled.

Update 27 will be rolling out in Q3 2020 and will focus on improving the database by introducing Database Caching and Database Worker Optimizations to prioritize critical game functions. The developers will also be rolling out an Account Database “Cold Storage” feature with either Update 27 or Update 28.
