ESO:

• ESO announces it will not support Apple’s new Silicon
  • https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/59187
  • They’re very much pushing Mac users towards Stadia - which would be fine if it were possible to get the same experience on Stadia as you can on your local computer. Going from playing with as many addons as you like to being allowed NO addons is kinda rough, though -- baratron.
• ESO Incremental Patch Monday November 23rd
  • All platforms
    • HOLY CRAP!
  • It was supposed to fix the large majority of instability issues and crashes
    • It seems to have fixed some issues for PC - instances are still buggy, and trial runs have greater than 5 crashes per run on average I didn’t experience any problems with Trials on Saturday, including one 3 hour Learning Run - only 2 disconnects which were both down to the player’s internet since he disconnected from Discord as well -- baratron.
    • PS4 still having a rough time (Doc?)
    • No idea about Xbox
    • Still repeated crashes on SCP HM, and they’ve broken SCP non-HM’s shield mechanic as well during that… fix, and Lich bosses (Like Wayrest Sewers II)
    • Dungeon Finder appears to be fixed to the state it was pre-U28 no longer has the bug where players who have not yet reached Level 50 queue for a Random Normal Dungeon but aren’t able to enter because the game has decided to put them into a Veteran group instead. Which is good. However, NOW it is sometimes grouping together 5 players for a dungeon group, when only 4 players may enter!
      • Seems to happen when a group member’s internet drops and the Dungeon Finder searches mid-dungeon.
    • Minor buffs from 5-piece set bonuses still sometimes disappear on player death,
