Render distance problems

This started just a few days ago, for no apparent reason. There's something wrong with my render distance for players. For example, while standing in Limsa, on the bench by the tree, I cannot see anyone over by the tree or the aetheryte unless I move closer, and people blink in and out of my render distance constantly, even while standing still. Doesn't matter how crowded the city is, even in the early morning, it's the same. My settings are at max, I haven't changed any settings since it started happening. I just logged in on Friday and it was like this. Before this, I could see to the other side of the plaza no problem, even during peak times. It's just really annoying when I'm standing there and people are blinking in and out, and I can't even tell if any of my friends are around unless I run a few feet, stop and stand and wait for everyone to load in, and then repeat. Anyone have any ideas?

Here is a quick gif of people popping in and out of existence.

I figured it out, Character and Object Quantity somehow got changed. Can't figure out how to delete pointless forum post. Disregard :,)

Greetings Turlina,

I'm glad to hear that you were able to figure out this issue. While I am unable to delete a forum thread, I can go ahead and have this moved over to 'Closed Concerns' as the issue is now resolved.

Thank you for posting in the FINAL FANTASY XIV Technical Support Forums. Hope to see you online!
