NPC and Player Loading delay and going POOF when I am at a distance.

I have been on a 2 month break from FFXIV and few days ago I came back. I have noticed while playing that when my character is a little bit far from a NPC or a group of players, then the players and npc disappear. The moment I get closer, they spawn back into the world.

I dont know why this is happening, is it because of the server load? Something happend to my computer? or is it my internet? I have not changed anything about my computer and my ingame setting is still there same.

Please help me get this sorted out, before the expansion.

what it sounds like is that your machine cannot handle loading everything at once...I use to have that issue on my PS3 before I upgraded to PS4 and now everything is great.

They introduced a limit on objects/characters drawn. It's on one of the sections down towards the bottom of the config screen (not in the normal graphics section). It's like a 5 step range from Maximum to minimal or something.

I checked the limit its on Maximum setting and I am playing on my pc. The weird thing is 2 months before everything was fine and I am playing Witcher 3 aswell and everything is loading fast there. I have installed the game again and the issue is still there. I dont know what I have to do to fix this issue.

Just checked on the internet and it has to do with draw distance, its only the npc and players that go *POOF* when I walk few feets away from them. Buildings and other stuff are still fine.

I have this constantly...good thing too because if everyone appeared at once on my screen my computer would probably explode.

I think even with the character/object rendering setting put to max, there's still a hard limit to how much the game will show at once. It might also be a slow load?

There is good news.. sorta? I have tried this with some FC members and they are having this issue, so its a FFXIV server issue and not my computer. Most of them have high spec pc.
