Possible Housing Area bug?
So yesterday i logged into the game and noticed an unusual amount of stutter when moving in the game, as seen in the video below.

I've never had a problem like this and i know that my rig is more than capable enough of running this game at max settings at a solid 60FPS+.
My first thought was to upgrade my drivers, which i did, and this only seemed to make my issue worse. So i rerolled to a previous driver version, and this made no difference at all.
this made me assume that the update must have edited my registry and now i was stuck with this issue. I asked around and shared the video above, and friends suggested i take a look at NVidia CP and check vsync settings etc, which i did, and this made no difference at all. I then thought that my monitor must be dying, so i tried switching both my monitor and my HDMI cable out, no luck, it still happened on the new monitor. (At this point i recorded the video, to see if it was a GFX card problem, as if it WAS a hardware problem, i wouldnt see the stuttering in the video).
At this point i was at my wits end, i re-installed windows, re-downloaded the game and logged in. The problem persisted.
After spending 2 days tearing my hair out wondering what the hell is going on... i remembered that people were complaining about DX11 issues in the housing areas, more noticeably the DX11 crash error. I ported to Limsa and ran around a bit. No stutter at all, even though there's 40-50 people running around, my game stayed at a solid 60FPS with no problems.
tl;dr - If you're having performance issues it's probably the DX11 problems the game has right now.
