Sudden Framerate Lag in the last 4 - 5 days

I haven't had a problem with the game at all before until the last couple of days, I'm not sure if it's somehow related to KB5006365 or KB5006738 both of which I have installed in the last 5 days or so, FFXIV appears to be the only game having the issue so far. Looking back, the game was working fine for me on 10/31 and then when I attempted to play on 11/4/21 it had come to a crawl with input lag / framerate lag / etc.

Citrix is well known for being very.... well... unfriendly to games.
Uninstall it and see if the issue clears.
If it does, there is a procedure one can use to install it so it doesn't hurt the game's performance.
It involves running an older version of Citrix.
Google "Citrix and FF14 issues".... tons of threads on Reddit on it

While I'm sure that's a possibility, Citrix has been installed on the host for nearly 2 years now without issue. I'll give it a shot, but I suspect this is likely more related to the recent updates then Citrix. Will see though.

Edit: Bugger, Citrix strikes again, you are correct, it must be some odd cross play between the new patch and Citrix, that fixed it.

Hi, it seems that Citrix 2109.x is affected. Try 2108:
