I don't need instructions, I just need some example text that I can't get for myself, but forum moderators might be able to provide.

This dev post has an example of a table: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...83%86%E7%B7%A8

If you have the ability to edit past dev posts, could you please:

1. Go into editing mode on that post

2. Copy the coding for the table section (or the whole post if that's easier)

3. Paste as a reply here with [ CODE ] at the beginning of the copied text and [ /CODE ] at the end (no spaces inside the brackets).
(You can insert these tags with the # icon in the row of post formatting buttons.)


Many thanks if you are able to help with this. ]]> Closed Concerns Iscah https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/530415-Forum-technical-help-table-coding https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/530368-Nintendo-Switch-2-error-3107?goto=newpost Wed, 05 Aug 2026 23:31:32 GMT Hello, I am making this post because I haven not been able to find a solution to this issue anywhere, and I also haven't seen almost anybody else talking about it.
For starters, I am not the player with this issue, but a friend. The player with this issue is not allowed to post on the forums because they haven't been able to create a character yet. Here's what's happening:

My friend bought the game on the Nintendo Switch 2 yesterday. She has never had a SE account before so she went through the step-by-step, and completed her registration and account linking with her game. She was finally able to open the game, and then as soon as she clicks "Start", it asks her which DC/Server she wants to create her first character. However, as soon as she picks one (say, Primal Behemtoh for example) the game loads for a bit, then shows the error in the image attached. If you can't see the image, it says: "The lobby server connection has encountered an error." and the error code is 3107.

Since then, we have tried all the main suggestions, and eventually opened a ticket with support. The support technician replied saying it was an issue caused by congestion, and that she would have to wait. Unfortunately, that is incorrect, because my friend tried every data center (including EU, JP, Oceania) and at multiple different times of day during the whole day today, and the error persisted.

Please, I would like to know what else I can do. The only thing left that she hasn't done yet is to reinstall the game, although she did run the file integrity check and it came up with no corrupted files found, so I don't think that will help. She also tried changing her DNS to Google DNS, but also nothing.

Thank you for your time.

Je me suis fait pirater mon compte dans la nuit. Je me suis reco sur Light (alors que je suis de Chaos) sans aucun Gil avec servants dépouillés de l'argent stocké. Je ne sais plus combien il y avait sur mes servants. Mais je sais que j avais sur mon perso 12 852 903 gil (j'ai un screen de hier soir à l'appuie si jamais).

J'ai pris les mesures nécessaires pour éviter une nouvelle cata, mot de passe changer et double authentification installé (et peut être que j'aurais du le faire avant....)

Je ne sais pas si on peut me rendre les gils ou pas si vous pouvez identifier vers quel personnage le transfert de gil a été fait. Est-ce que vous pensez pouvoir faire quelque chose?

Je vous remercie pour votre retour

Cordialement

Around every 2 minutes my frames will quickly drop to 20-30 once or twice, then return to my normal of 90-100. Causing a very disturbing stuttering. Here's the specifics:

• Exclusive to FFXIV. Multiple other games (Guild Wars 2, Hunt Showdown, and Granblue Fantasy Relink did not have frame drops)
• Stutters drop anywhere in game. Hub city, duty, private home, etc.
• FFXIV has run fine on this setup on this monitor for years.
• Stuttering affects the in game audio and music too.
• I run in windowed at 2560x1440 at 100% standard HD. Frame Rate is set to Main Display Refresh Rate, which is 144.
• Changing screen mode, Frame Rate, or Resolution did not stop the issue.
• Closing outside programs like browsers or discord did not stop the issue.
• Windows event viewer does not have any relevant logs matching the timing of the stutters.
• Resource Monitor has been cleared and did not stop the issue.
• Multiple restarts have been done and did not stop the issue.
• Updated graphics drivers and did not stop the issue.
• Disabled Xbox game bar and did not stop the issue.
• System Stats are:
  • AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
  • AMD Radeon RX 7800XT
  • 32GB RAM
  • Windows 11 25H2
  • Main Display: LG QHD 2560 x 1440 IPS, 144Hz (Adaptive-Sync is off)
• Task Manager does not show spikes in CPU,Memory, or Disks.
• CPU utilization is not above normal.
• System temperatures are not high, around 70C
• I see a dip in the GPU 3D utilization when the stutters happen in game, but no changes in the other graphs.
• Only recent changes to the system are disabling Copilot and Search Box Suggestions via regedit, which I have since re-enabled. Did not stop the issue.

Has anyone seen anything like this or have any suggestions on what to do? ]]> Closed Concerns Arnir https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/530326-FPS-drops-every-few-minutes https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/530322-Unable-to-add-Switch-2-licence?goto=newpost Tue, 04 Aug 2026 19:50:47 GMT Hi, I bought FFXIV on Nintendo Switch 2 and I’m trying to add the Switch 2 licence to my existing Square Enix service account, which I already use... Hi,

I bought FFXIV on Nintendo Switch 2 and I’m trying to add the Switch 2 licence to my existing Square Enix service account, which I already use on PC.

My subscription renewed today. I can log in and play normally on PC, and the Mog Station shows that I have 30 days of subscription time remaining, so the payment appears to have been processed successfully.

However, since around 8am this morning, I’ve been unable to add the Switch 2 licence. Every time I try, I receive the following message:

> The Square Enix Account Management System is currently processing upcoming service fees for billing.
>
> During this period, you will not be able to add or change subscriptions, payment methods, licences or other account services.
>
> These actions will become possible once again after the billing processes have completed.

It has now been several hours, and the message is still appearing even though my subscription has renewed and the 30 days have already been added to my account.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there normally an additional delay before account changes become available again, or does this appear to be an account issue?

I’m trying to add the Switch 2 version to my existing service account and don’t want to accidentally create a separate account.

Thanks. ]]> Closed Concerns WreckEmJones https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/530322-Unable-to-add-Switch-2-licence https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/530183-Unstable-fps-on-ffxiv?goto=newpost Fri, 31 Jul 2026 18:47:42 GMT Hello i have unstable fps on ff14 i keep getting 45 to 60 to 45 to 60 fps at already 720p how do i fix here my spec i5 1335u 16 gigs of ram...
