Screen Shaking - Please Fix

I am having "screen shaking" whenever I run up and/or down hills, slopes, stairs, or even turn my camera around. I have had this issue ever since the game came out and I am not just fed up with it because it just gives me headaches.

My specs are 2.53 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, XFX Radeon HD 5770, 500 GB HD, 4GB of RAM, and a Vista OS.

I can run all my other games (and believe me I have a lot of games) just fine on High/Med settings with a solid 30-40 FPS.

I have applied all possible settings, I have even went down to 1024x768 resolution, all settings set on low, no AA enabled, or anything special that is unnecessary.

My problem is the screen shaking, my FPS in FFXIV remains at a steady 30-35 FPS range and I do not lag when I play the game ever. Aside from the screen shaking on elevated terrain the game is as smooth as butter.

So can someone on the SE staff please address this issue because I have researched it and found several other people with the same exact issue and no resolution found.

Anyone going to reply or is this forum dead? Do GMs even post on here?

Moderators are usually more inclined to respond if you follow the outline in the stickied thread:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...hnical-Support!

Character shaking happens to everyone. There is nothing that you can do to prevent it from happening. SE should already know about this from previous threads, but you're more than welcome to remind them.. because it bugs the heck out of me, too.

Already a couple of threads on this including my own. No telling when it's gonna be fixed

I am glad I'm not the first to bring this issue up on here. Hey SE how about we fix this please because it gives me a headache and honestly the only reason I refuse to even put in any effort in playing this game is because of this ridiculous screen shaking.

Fix now, please or reply to this thread with some sort of information that you guys will be working on it...

yeah happens to everyone, sadly. Its really annoying, if they implemented longer ways up/down that would make me throw up for sure... i don't know why its not fixed yet since ... this world isnt very "free" in terms of exploration, should be fixed by now, since that isnt a huge overall...

So SE lets fix this issue because it really is not acceptable. I'll just continue playing Vindictus and waiting for Guild Wars 2 while I reply to this thread till I get an official reply. Please everyone who has replied if you know anyone else with this issue tell them to come on here and report it because it's been like what 8 months since I've gotten this game and still cannot run up a hill without my screen humping itself. This is more of an issue with my ATI 5770, on my ASUS G73 I have no issue at all but still... It should be fixed.

Its not just going up and down slopes, its whenever the camera angle is a certain angle. Very annoying

Indeed, my screen also shakes when I turn around at any angle sometimes. It is so annoying.

Would anyone at SE like to reply to this thread and at least acknowledge the issue please?

So is this ever going to be fixed...?

I really want to play this game, but the screen shaking is just ridiculous. I run the game with no lag at all, so why is this happening?

SE please reply?

This is in the technical support I figured SE would reply its been months....

Will this ever get fixed...?

shameless bump....

bumping again..

I like how SE won't even reply... At least on WoW forums a GM always responds... *sigh*

Hi again, just wondering does anyone care?

bumping again..

If you look, there was a thread on this some time ago, and I think in beta when a comment was put forward.
(I comment on one cant remember which)
But its hardly something that will be a priority atm, It'll be down in the bug fix list or more likely another small issues list.

They have done a load of work on the optimization front it seems in this patch, so just wait or at least don't do daily bumps on an issue that isn't stopping you playing, it annoys me, but its hardly game breaking.

My screen having a seizure 5 minutes into playing the game was an issue when I bought the game back in 2010 and still is an issue now.

A comment was put forward in beta about this? And a year later it is still not fixed? I don't understand what the hold up is. I run this game with no lag whatsoever, I would like to enjoy it without my eyes being annoyed so it is game breaking for me because I have never played a game with such screen seizures before and I refuse to continue playing this game until this is fixed.

Now you might not care, but I do. Everyone has quit this game for their own reasons. Ironically enough gameplay was never a big issue for me (while it was the major issue for others) I enjoyed this game even at release but eventually after about 2 months of play I just couldn't stand the screen shaking anymore and quit.

It is really sad that SE just won't fix this for me and others with this same exact issue a year later... So I will keep bumping this thread till this issue gets the attention it deserves.

bumping again

just saying this should get a SE response

I have been having that problem since beta also. It's one of the main reasons I rarely log in. I'm glad the Mods can find the time to respond to shit on the general forums and ignore the real issues with the game...

I've made a topic the includes this in a list of many issues as well. This shaky camera thing makes me sick though.. Not being mean, I just truly feel sick in my stomach when I try to play with a camera that jitters this much.
It's not just the screen shaking though, it's your character as well.

Switching from 60 fps to 30 and it gets better but the screen is still shaking alot while riding chocobo.

yeah i have same problem, like an unstable camera state

This is hardly a high priority issue. You can easily get around it by bringing your camera slightly closer to your character.

Haris,

We’d like to apologize for the problems you are experiencing. However if you feel that you are experiencing a bug with the game, then the matter should be brought to the attention of the Development Team by posting in the proper Bug Report forum.

We have gone ahead and moved this thread to the Bug Report forum, to make sure it receives the attention it should. For future reference, please post any and all in-game Bug Reports to the Bug Report forum:

In-Game Bugs Forum

Greetings Haris!

Thank you for taking the time to report this concern for us! I would be more then happy to submit this for you, however, I would like to ask that you please give us some additional information on this matter. Please fill out as much as you're able from the following template for us. Upon receipt, we will submit this for review for you! Although it may seem as though this template is not necessary as it requests information related to your character specifically, however, the information you give might help find the exact cause as to why an issue may be happening.

Thank you for your time and apologies for any inconvenience!

This is kind of like alt-tab. I don't think this will ever be fixed. Either that or it's working as intended. I'm pretty sure they could encorporate some lore behind it. Like Michael J Fox was teleported here from Earth in the past (using 100 anima ofcourse) just to be our personal camera man?

I don't have any screen shaking but i do have problems with the camera sometimes but that's because i havent yet adopted the game keys well. :P

The more fps you get the more it shakes.

Yeah I lowered mine down to 30 fps and it seems a bit better, but still noticeable.

Well it looks like we got our answer. No fix forthcoming with the development of a new graphics engine I'm sure. Maybe the re-release will be better...
