    Are you using a USB wireless adapter? I know it sounds crazy, but my brothers game would stutter like CRAZY when he used one, on set intervals.. like every 1 second it would stutter for .5 seconds. (not lag, but the actual video would stutter).

    We tried everything, till one day i borrowed his internet adapter and my computer started doing the same thing. Noone has been able to explain to us why a USB internet card would cause video problems.

    known issue with the drivers for the 400 series cards... have to be using certain drivers for FFXI. Can't remember which release it was, should be the one posted on the POL site via the link I gave at the start of the thread (that shows both Nvidia and ATI drivers they tested with).

    Forgot about the USB bus issues. There was also some stuff with IR devices too. Generic HID stuff in the device manager have tripped up issues too (sometimes UPS links show up as HID). Try removing/disabling them if getting updated drivers for them don't fix things.

    I have been having a problem like this myself over the past few weeks. I never had the problem before, and there was no change to hardware or drivers prior to the issue starting. I have tried running FFXI on both my primary OS, as well as my alternate dual boot OS. On the alternate OS (windows 7) I do not notice any stuttering of the camera or freezing for 2-5 seconds at a time, but I LOATH playing on windows 7 because the text in game doesn't seem to display properly (letters get cut off etc.) The problem had vanished for a few days, but it is back again. My primary OS is Windows XP Pro x64, I have tried everything I can think of with no success. This includes system restore, updating drivers (I saw the post about windows xp and driver issues, but I use an older driver than the ones listed causing the problems.) so on and so forth. I have also tried playing with router settings as well as internet properties on my computer. I can deal with the camera stuttering a little when I try to rotate it, but what really annoys me is the little mini-lockups. I'll be trying to type, and nothing will happen at all for a few seconds, like the game froze, and int he time it takes me to open task manager or alt+tab to internet it's working again... I have only noticed this while running FFXI, and not with any other game I play... Please help. >_<

    Stuttering is caused by a lot of things, Infrared devices and HID devices are the most common. I had this yesterday on a new pc, disabled/unplugged HID devices and it stopped. Very often doing something as simply as unplugging any controllers/mice can fix it.

    As for horrible lag, that's usually a driver issue sadly.

    You can disable them in device manager, HID = Human interface devices.

    Thank you. I'm not sure what exactly it was (I ended up disabling mouse but got that back on lol) but after turning off all of the ones I could, it stopped. It appears that some of them disappeared from the list as I turned others off... I think the only ones left are just the USB drives. Will try turning those back on since the others vanished and see if it stays fixed. But the HID thing seems to have helped (hopefully permanently.)

    SOLVED

    Took me almost 3 gosh darn years to figure this out.

    Using a WIFI NIC you need to trick the system by "BRIDGING" The WIFI NIC with your Ethernet NIC's. OMG i'm so happy to say that this problem is solved. Heavy Metal Donations accepted for this solution. See me on Carbuncle Server. Tips welcomed!
