(FFXI) Very poor performance of the game in
windows 8.1 , the game simply is unplayable , for what Dr.google have provided it is an issue that the Dedicated GPU does not run the game instead the integrated GPU does it , others also have mentioned its a windows 8 only problem since the game was made based on DX8, Nvidia does not care , Windows does not care , you my dear SE team have made the game , Will you kindly please provide us with a solution? this problem has been reported repeatedly now , Would you be so kind and provide a solution for the people? Thank you.
