Pixelated Shadows after 1.18b.

[Hikozaemon]

Patch 1.18 had improved shadows and lighting quite a bit. My friends and I were very happy about it.

However today I noticed that after yesterday's patch, shadow quality is lower than it has ever been for me. Shadows look pixelated and just ugly. I checked my settings, still the same.

I checked with other people and they noticed it too. And it is not an issue of your GFX card or drivers, as shadows were still normal yesterday. Could you please re-add the proper shadows we had before.

Um actually, my PC is up to standards thank you very much. If you had actually read my posts you would have seen that I stated that for one week it worked perfectly, the pixelated shadows were gone / not as bad as they are now.

I am perfectly aware that some people have had this issue for months. I just stated that for me and some of my friends, who have really good PCs and never had this problem before, it suddenly appeared today after 1.18b. Yesterday, this was not the case.

Im running an:

i7 2600k (I got 1090T black edition AMD it performs much better on graphics intensive games check all the reports/ comparisons)
DUAL ATI 5870s in crossfire (rofl) if u wanna get insulting these are very outdated crap video cards that dont work well for ff14. I got 2 6850s i use to have 6450s;guess what i use to have pixelated shadows because of inferior graphics cards. Also guess what FF14 does not support crossfire
12GB DDR3 2133 (wow i got 16 who cares u dont need more than 4)
120GB OCZ Veritex III SSD (whoopty dooo i got one too)

My computer can run 3 of yours. ( you computer can run old games well thats it)

Its a game issue sir.

Its an issue of u need to spend 170+$s on a better video card and you will no longer have this issue. I bought a new PC and guess what i no longer had this problem. Now lets stop playing the mine shit is better than yours card cus assuming makes an ass of yourself.

It was, and still is, a $400 to $500 card.

Please stop pretending like you know what you are talking about, and lose the attitude.


And next time you quote me, please quote me accurately.

Your text in parentheses was never said in my original post. Feel free to look back on it and note that there is no "message was edited at xxx" either.

Let me address this line by line to make this simple for you:

An i7 2600k vs an amd black edition 1090t, lets compare:

Please find MY CPU on this chart, and then find yours. (Hint, scroll down to find yours)

Dual ATI 5870s:

Please find MY GPU's on this chart, then find your ONE card.
Please note that ONE of my cards is 5% or so behind the performance of ONE of your cards.
**FFXIV does indeed run in crossfire when in full screen mode btw**

DDR 2133:
You missed the point, its not the amount, its the speed.

HDD:
Not related to shadows in the slightest, the point was to prove that its not my machine that is the issue.

I'm not sure why I even replied to this, because anyone who knows 2 things about computers can see you are an idiot.

I'm at work and bored I guess. ^^

Point is, my machine is not the issue and I have had this "shadow" glitch/issue since day 1.

Wow.
OK, I'll step into my time machine and buy a graphics card from 2041 which fixes issues with the game itself. While I'm there I think I'll buy a selective virus which will exterminate all capslock spammers on Earth.
