Game optimization **Please Read**

Ever since the game came out I have had the problem of this "skipping/stuttering" issue with not only my pc but every PC I have seen this game run on and build.I purposely built this system for this game and it has never ran correctly :( . My settings are as follows

Multisampling: 2x
Drawing Quality: 8
Background Quality: 4
Shadow: Standard

Ambient and depth of field turned off.

Texture Quality: High
Texture Filtering: Highest

With these setting I can run Solid 60fps my machine is a AMD 1090T 6core , 6 Gigs of DDr3 (1600mhz) , ATI 5850.

The official benchmark on high settings I run around 4,600.But the problem is no matter what setting I run even if it were to be the lowest possible settings in the config the game will still get this "stutter" and I noticed when it does "stutter" the harddrive is reading like crazy... I have heard of people buy a solid state hard drive just for this reason alone and the problem still persists... I really hope everyone that is having this problem please post about your experiences and let his be known I am sick of tired of it hindering my gameplay and enjoy-ability for the great graphics of this game.

yeah hopefully we will see some improvements in the future because i'll be pissed off if they say just go buy a PS3 and FFXIV for it, i don't have too much problem with the game on my end (my comp specs are listed on my profile) main the game doesn't seem to handle smoothly from some server latency or something of that nature.

game setting for my comp :

everything on standard settings with no shadows because i don't like shadows on this game and no AA,AO or depth of field. I use InjectFXAA to add FXAA anti-aliasing to this game because it works really well with little tax on your hardware. I also for some reason picked up a stuttering which for some reason seems to be to due to camera position.

What is injectfxaa and how do you use it?

try and find the latest version on the internet and then all you do is put the DX9 version on your FFXIV folder where your game launch .exe is, you might have to redo your shortcut for FFXIV for it to work or at least i had that problem, you can toggle it on and off with the print button on your keyboard ( i think thats the button). i use it on all my games that don't have it which most i have don't except the new deus ex, which stutters on me like crazy ><;
