graphical lag?

[IveraIvalice]

Make sure you're running FF14 with the correct graphics adapter. Horrible performance after a patch is mostlikely the cause of trying the run the game on your Intel integrated graphics instead of your Nvidia card.

this is interesting though i have not run into this personally but have heard of that happening. and since i havent run into this myself i wouldnt know how to go about checking that. would you be able to provide more info on where i can find out if my game is running with my Nvidia card and not the intel graphics?

Perhaps it's a Nvidia issue? Have you tried updating your drivers?
I'm not having any issues on my 7870.

I'm on a 7950, I have noticed a slight downgrade in performance, with most of what I've been doing. Also noticed more 90k DCs, three in AK yesterday!

i have tried updating my driver but sadly i cant check if it worked until maintenance is over. though i somehow dont think that will fix it
probly just because it seems too easy and im not used to these things being fixed easily

So this is what i noticed, if someone can have proof of this, it be awesome. What I noticed is the game is showing more on-screen now, you can see further into the distance and processing more details. For some reason my GPU at certain location say for example The Camp Bronze Lake area with the hotsprings? well that area really works my gpu, I get it with 80-90% and that is a lot since im pretty sure before patch that area only gives me 60-75% gpu usage. I do notice I could see further away and more details in objects. But I dont for sure, could be just the placebo effect but idk what is wrong, for sure its working mu gpu harder and need more processing. Oh i am using a GTX 770 Superclocked, I shouldnt be having trouble with this.

the only things i can think of is that i recently updated a display driver and i updated from windows 8 to windows 8.1
but i hear people are playing ffxiv on this version.

that's probably your problem. some people are playing, some others are getting lag and crashes.

Yeah, I just upgraded my desktop and now i am getting random screen freezes and the whole thing where the world stops then fast forwards to catch back up. really irritating hope its not my PC going screwy

Same thing started with me on the day of the patch.
I have a 75/50 Mbps connection and < 50 ms ping to the server.
Intel I7-4770K @ 4.5Ghz, 32MB RAM, NVidia 660Ti OC 3GB.

Anytime SE has mentioned "upgrading" the servers this seems to happen.
Such as the time they "upgraded" the servers for AK.

so after last nights patch the game seems to be running fine again. same settings that i used to play (near max) and the same settings that were ungodly lag yesterday that made me start this thread. the only thing i can think of that i did was update my graphics card driver. im glad its working now just like it used to. however one thing i noticed is that in my graphics settings in game, it is saying that its using my intel graphics and not my geforce graphics card, but when i click on the drop down, my geforce graphics card isnt an option to select. anyone know how to get that to show up? im sure it will run better if i can use my actual graphics card instead of my intel based graphics

if i'm not wrong, in the nvidia panel there is an option to pick a processor or let the driver/application choose. set it to nvidia.

It's not just PC.

The PS3 version is having the exact same lag. It's almost unplayable in Instances. It comes and goes. It'll be fine then suddenly nothing for 10seconds straight.

I'm having no issues
