Windows 8 Problems

[Baudle]

Hello Vexan,

We're sorry to hear that you are having this difficulty. As this issue sounds more like a technical issue with your operating system than with Final Fantasy XI's design, we recommend contacting Square Enix Support Center for more direct help.

Thank you for your time,
GM Baudle

Having the same issues as above (Along with random crashes). I uninstalled out of frustration but may give it another go after I get back in town. If it doesn't work I'll get into touch with technical support.

Has there been any fixes out of game with the I5/Intel HD4000? I'm pretty sure I tried everything possible in game and wasn't able to get models to show up not to mention the random crashes as well.

I fixed this "models not showing problem". If you have an Nvidia graphics card, go into the Nvidia control panel, click "Manage 3D settings", Under "Preferred graphics processor" change it from "Auto-Select" to "High-Performance NVIDIA Processor". The computer, has two graphics cards, it is not choosing the correct card for the game. But, this WILL drain your laptop's battery! You can click on "Program settings" tab and have the Nvidia card change whenever you play ffxi. But i am still having another issue...my screen freezes when playing ffxi, takes about 10-20mins. I played the game in a Window mode and the Nvidia driver says it stoped responding. I don't know why this happens. Let me know if you have the same issue! Let me know if the nvidia control panel thing fixes your problem with the models.
