Mouse sensitivity broken since todays patch.

Awww :( logged in today to find the problem is back again after trying the 'delete the 3 files' fix.

It seems as though putting it into borderless window and then setting it back to fullscreen sometimes fixes the problem though. So thankyou to the person who suggested that :)

Definitely could do with a patch though, fingers crossed they can address this issue soon.

People, why do you delete these 3 files? That's pointless. I gave you working solution on page 3. in this topic - just change your Full Screen mode to Borderless Windowed mode (which is full screen aswell, no difference) and it will work just fine. When they post the patch you can go back to Full Screen again.

This does not work for everyone. For exemple in my case it doesn't matter weather i start borderless or fullscreen mode. Both of these mode make my mouse very slow and let it stutter. This however only happens OUTSIDE the game. what indeed does work is switching to the opposite mode. But when you restart your client it will break again untill i restart my pc.

raptr is causing all these problems with mouse lag, did alot of trubble shooting today as long as raptr isnt open i get no mouse lag...... cant even just turn off ingame stuff the program cant be running!

if any of you are running any type of game or overlay software may want to start by closing it especially raptr


i even started the game had no lag at all and opened raptr and WATCHED it go super slow its raptr!

YUP 1000% confirmed my issue is raptr apparently cant even have it open or ffxiv mouse lags horribly

I use Raptr. I completely shut it down and it made no difference. My mouse is still horribly slow outside of the game.

did you completely exit the game shut down raptr and then relog in ? im still confirming this is my issue lol as soon as i close raptr and log in i have no mouse lag ingame or out of them game, closeing raptr while your ingame wont fix it it will still lag i tried lol

if this works for anyone please post let ppl know :)

hmm it could very well be raptr, asuming everyone with this issue is running it

after you mentioned that i checked the raptr forums and it seems with the raptr update that happened in the last 1-2 days a few people have mouse issues with various games as well as a raptr dev having it confirmed with rift

http://raptr.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28915

wont be able to test this myself until tomorrow tho

edit: actually did a quick test, opened raptr and logged in > mouse lag, closed the game and completely shut down raptr then logged back into the game > mouse worked fine

thanks for pointing this out and yea raptr was updated in the last day or 2 also so for my case and prolly alot of other peoples its prolly raptr causing this issue.. also ty for posting that you tested so thats 2 confirmed that its raptr....

I have also tested this repeatedly. (glad I checked back here)
Raptr does indeed seem to be the source of the issue. They patched on 10/14/2013 and I did not snag it till FFXIV patch day which is why blame instantly went to SE for the problem :x.

Launch game with no Raptr. No issues.
Launch raptr. No issues.
Raptr detects im playing FFXIV. omgad make it stahp.

Launch game with no Raptr. No Issues.
Turn frame limit while inactive back on. No issues.
Alt tab a bajillion(scientific) times. No issues.
Launch Raptr. No issues.
Raptr Detects I am running FFXIV. Mouse input breaks. ;_;

Whatever Raptr is doing also can't be fixed by simply closing Raptr, you have to reboot FFXIV entirely to correct it.

Other things to note: I am launching the game using steam so I can use its overlay for friend chat and screenshots. Steam seems to have no impact on this issue but I figured it might be worth mentioning as another possible variable in the equation.

Thank you so much for mentioning this. It occurred to me for a second yesterday that this problem MIGHT have been due to the recent Rapt update, but I kind of dismissed that idea without really trying it because I didn't think that Raptr would be capable of affecting the game like that. But damn, after turning it off, everything works so much better. I have been stressing out about this all day, thinking that it might have been a problem with my graphics card or processor or something.

SkOODat, you're a genius.

I can also confirm closing out Raptr completely fixes my mouse issues. Too bad i couldn't figure that out in Coil last night, ADS raped my booty ;_;

Thank you all for mentioning Raptr to solve the problem. Oddly enough, in my case, I had turned off Raptr before started to play FF14 tonight and the pointer lag problem appeared. This led me to doubt the solution on this thread, but since "having Raptr" was common, I decided to turn Raptr back on. Now FF14 is running fine without a problem. So if anyone out there doubting Raptr being the case because it was ALREADY turned off, please try running it again. It may fix the problem,

getting this with my razor taipan its made doing titan HM even more of a nightmare

Actually, no, I didn't. I just shut it down while running the game. So... I exited the game, changed my Raptr preferences to not start with Windows, shut it down, then restarted my PC. When I booted it back up and logged back in to the game, the mouse issues were gone. Looks like I may have to eat my words on this one.

Odd that messing with certain settings within the game will temporarily fix the problem. I would have never thought it could be Raptr.

However, it's hard to dismiss this post on the Raptr forums citing several different games that now have this issue since the Raptr update.

Raptr may be related to some people's issues, but it is definitely not the definitive problem. Though I'd try it out, because I've been experiencing the same problem - I assumed it was something wrong with my computer, and then started investigating - and so I tried the exit game, close Raptr, launch game gimmick, and I was getting the lag issue again.

The only solution that fixed it was by switching the resolution a bunch of times from Windowed Borderless to windowed, then full screen, then back, which completed freed up the problem. Since Raptr was not running at all, it is clearly an issue with the client somewhere.

it could be related to other overlay softwares such as overwolf for teamspeak..... i beleve ffxiv runs dx9 and overlay software uses dx9 rendering someway to show the huds etc if they have a bug could cause lag issues

Hello Everyone,

We understand that these problems with mouse controls can be very disruptive to gameplay, and I want to assure you that we are aware of this issue, and that we are currently working to find a solution. We appreciate your patience, and will do our best to resolve this situation as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Just wanted to update my status with this issue. While initially I thought it was just raptr causing the problem, I had a friend encounter the same issue last night. He closed raptr came back and was fine for a minute. However, the problem came right back even with a freshly launched game client. We then figured out his razer naga was set to 500+ polling, he dropped it to 125, and then the issue fully went away again. For good.

To satiate my curiosity i turned my polling back up to 500+ to test and sure enough the problem reappeared. Back down to 125, issue goes away.

TL;DR - Raptr is not the sole reason for the issue. Something is definitely broken on the ffxiv side since the latest patch.

Thank you for the update Verytus! I'm having these same problems on my Razer Naga, thread located here for full system info:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ng-after-patch

Hope to see this fixed soon.

For those using the Raptr Client:
http://raptr.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28915&page=5

They posted a download for a fixed client there^

Now just keep polling at 125 till we see a fix from SE :D

raptr had an update to resolve the issue it hasnt been offically pushed out tho sometimes next week you can download the fix tho here http://s3.amazonaws.com/raptrclient/...7416-trunk.exe or go to the raptr fourms here and an admin talks about it http://raptr.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28915&page=5

Me as well, The game is unplayable for me like this and i'm using a microsoft mouse. When I tab out of game while game is running, mouse is almost unusable in windows too.

Ok, I downloaded the raptr patch, everything seems to be working now. Thanks.
Looks like it wasn't just FFXIV it affected, other games were affected for other people too, but isn't affecting everyone for some reason.

Same here with a Logitech G9x

Same issue here with the G9X. Will try the raptr update and see if that works.

Yo!

After reading through a few of these pages, I poked around and figured out something that might appeal to those who do not want to download anything, delete files, or change a file every time they log in:

If you toggle your screen mode in-game you can fix the problem directly. Just go to System Configuration, then change to Windowed from Fullscreen. When it prompts you about whether or not you want to keep the changes, just click no. It will switch back to Fullscreen and the mouse issue should be immediately rectified. I have tested this several times as of now and it has succeeded in fixing the problem each time.

Hopefully this works for anyone else!


Edit: Doh, I guess someone else did already post this solution. Disregard, I suppose.

I have a steelseries sensei mouse. Raptr, the gaming comunity claims to have a work around. not sure if it works as i refuse to use anything not put out by said games developer.

I am experiencing this issue too and am using the Corsair M60. Cannot wait for Raptr to release the new patch as this was effecting me in Rift as well.

Doing the config file delete did not fix this for me at all. I also removed Raptr and the problem still sticks around. Any suggestions?

I have a g500. I updated raptr with the above link, but it didn't seem to help. I uninstalled raptr, and after a restart things are back to normal. Next, I'll try the new raptr patch then a restart.

1. Made backup of old FFXIV.cfg file before deleting and getting new one after reloading game.

2. Realoaded game (till intro is over) and then reconfigured everything.

3. Compared .cfg with old one - they are the same, which means the problem is in game itself and it's not about updating old configuration file, which leads to conclusion that removing .cfg file won't help with anything (at least it won't if you're planning to reconfigure setting to the same state as they were before deleting).


So what's going on? It's not the problem with your mouse, Synapse or Logitech software or anything like that. Preciselly, game is having problems in Full Screen mode (ScreenMode 0 in .cfg) and something is wrong with either using hardware drivers (mouse) or some of graphics settings implementation interfering with them.

Solution: Note that after changing from "Full Screen" to "Windowed" mode (ScreenMode 1) and then going back to "Full Screen" will help, but it can be annoying to do this every time when game starts... so instead switch to third option - "Borderless Windowed" - it will render everything just like in "Full Screen" mode and mouse will work fine there aswell.

Note that if switch to "Borderless Window" is not helping for you, reset to default settings (delete FFXIV.cfg file), then switch to "Bordered Mode", restart client (should still be fine now) and start reconfiguring everything while restarting client every few options (simply applying changes won't cause this mouse error, restart is needed).


Even tho it solves the problem, it would be nice if we got some hotfix ASAP, cause something is clearly wrong.


P.S. You can also uncheck "Limit framerate when game client is inactive", so you can ALT-TAB during these problems - mouse will work normally in Windows from now on.

P.P.S. All of these setting i described are in ESC -> "System Configuration" -> "Display Settings" menu. FFXIV.cfg is located in C:\Users\YOU_USER_NAME\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\ folder.

Good Luck!
