Update 2.49 / 1.31 for Elder Scrolls Online has gone live for PC and consoles, and the patch notes mainly focus on fixes across different facets of the game. The size of the update is around 37GB for PS4 users, 500MB for PS5 users, and around 100MB for PC players. Because of how easy it is to reproduce health desyncs, the devs are going to keep the temporary solution until they can find and test a proper way to fix them. Here is the complete list of patch notes for update 2.49 / 1.31 for Elder Scrolls Online:
Elder Scrolls Online Update 2.49 / 1.31 Patch Notes
Combat & Abilities
General
- Abilities that vary in cost mechanics will now show their proper cost mechanic, even if the skill is not yet learned or slotted, to lessen any confusion around what the ability will cost before you slot it onto your bar. This change covers the following abilities:
- Runeblades
- Fatecarver
- The Imperfect Ring
- Runemend
- Remedy Cascade
- Chakram Shields
- Fixed an issue where some conditional requirements that checked when you healed a target under a certain threshold could bypass the health threshold restriction, such as Cleansing Revival triggering on targets above 25% Health.
- Fixed an issue where Mundus Stone effects could be removed from your character when dead during a load screen.
- Adjusted Inferno and Ice Staff Heavy Attacks to temporarily make them un-reflectable to prevent health desyncs while a longer-term solution is found and tested.
