PETITION: Regarding FINAL FANTASY XIV Steam Version (Mar. 8)

[EmilLeo]

Signed because I'm one of those people who been having issues with FFXIV Steam version. FFXIV steam version gave me terrible FPS compare to the SE Client but idc about this as long as it's still playable. What really concerned me right now is that I can't go to Mor Dhona at all without crashing. Other maps worked fine for me except Mor Dhona. If they really going to implement this, welp I guess Mor Dhona will be a restricted area for me lol. So please, if SE really going to make this happen, fix the memory leak in Mor Dhona. Idk what's wrong with that map. When I was leveling for the first time I got stuck in Mor Dhona for 2-3 days. After hardcore googling (xd) I found somewhere in forum a person suggested to download the normal client. So I did and finally I can load Mor Dhona without crashing until now.

My friend and I did few tests running the steam version of FFXIV today. This is what I found :

So apparently, you can run the steam version of FFXIV without the steam client or should I say..Without launching steam, I went to Steamlibrary>steamapps>common>FINAL FANTASY XIV Online>boot>ffxivboot.exe.

-The steam version of FFXIV allowed me to run the game without the Steam Launcher.
- I tried to teleport to Mordhona.
- Crashed.

So what I'm saying is... ITS NOT THE STEAM LAUNCHER THAT CAUSED THE GAME TO PERFORM AWFULLY. Its the steam version of FFXIV itself (FFXIV Steam Client). So yeah. Idk if its related to steam or not or like if Steam has powers to change how the FXXIV steam client is running but SE needs to figure this out :/ I get like -15-20 less fps running the steam version of FFXIV in general and cant load Mor Dhona at all.
