Choppy gameplay

[Firesoul]

Well I thought I would finally post back. I have completed my reinstall and all things good.

It seems the problem is much less noticeable now that FFXIV is on the SSD. It still fluctuates with char's on screen and all but mostly in the cities there is much less choppiness.

I don't know if the SSD was the trick or just old driver settings, old registry errors, etc.

It definitely runs better now however. Constant 60 outside of cities and usually never lower than 40 in cities. Most of the settings are also a bit higher than before too. Still can't see how my old 500 gb, 16 mb cache HDD was lagging so bad though.

Whatever, it works and I'm happy now.

Mechanical HDD's are terrible at fast data retrieval is why, even the slowest SSD's will out perform the fastest HDD's. Add on top of this that the game is poorly designed from the start and it's just a world of hurt. Glad your getting better game play though, thanks for the update.
