SQEnix, please undo the FPS cap.

well if your monitor has a forced 144hz you can not play at all. So those of us with 144hz laptops are completely screwed.

Yeah mines forced, alienware laptop

I recognize and can respect that SE was attempting to mitigate exploits, but I have never heard of the exploits that they are attempting to prevent. A large number of people play with high refresh rates these days.

SQEnix, if history must be unwritten, then let it be unwritten: this tragedy must be undone!

I have now cancelled my subscription and will not be buying Shadowbringers until this is fixed.



Final Fantasy XIV was the only online game I've played that actually runs at high frame rates like a modern game should, and I refuse to play it at 90fps. My 240hz monitor is unable to display refresh rates bellow ~165hz well, causing severe pixel inversion, making the experience not enjoyable. I will be watching for patch notes which state that this cap has been removed.

If this isn't resolved at least by the end of the early access period, I'm afraid I'll be doing the same. This is not an acceptable "mitigation" for an obscure exploit that no one has heard about before yesterday.

This is so true. I'd rather play the game with the occasional exploiter as that at least doesn't impact me directly. Me being unable to play the game on my laptop is a far worse situation to be in.

If this isn't sorted by the end of early access I'll just jump ship to WoW 8.2 where I can actually log in...

The game is literally unplayable with G-Sync monitors with the FPS Cap... The Cap implementation is also so poor (fluctuates between 80-100FPS on Panel) that I get tearing on both of my G-Sync monitors. Also causes more input lag due to worse frametimes. Please Undo this Cap Square Enix.

Meanwhile some are glad managing 40 fps at most when being alone xD

I gotta say it sucks but if they have a good reason id understand... i rather wonder how that screens cant run on lower fps, i mean wtf just trash all stuf from pre 2018 or smt? Dam i was lucky with mine lol

It's not about FPS directly, but about refresh rate, and specifically how SE (poorly) implemented their FPS cap.

In many cases laptop panels only support one refresh rate, unlike desktops which you may possibly plug any type of monitor into. So, the option to adjust the refresh rate is not available to us in the laptop software.

While it does not cause me any problems, there needs to be some sort of compromise with SE here, because if this is rendering people problems, people are just going to walk. This is not a "oh I hate content and/or changes" it is having a negative impact on other player's gameplay.

I'm also a G-sync user, the frame rate is capped at a pretty consistent 90FPS for me but I can't get G-sync or V-sync to enable as a result of the changes (using in game settings and Nvidia inspector). This has resulted in micro stutter and tearing when before the patch the game ran perfectly smooth. Here's my specs:
Gtx 1080 TI, I7-8700k stock, and 35" 3440 x 1440 monitor with a VRR of 48-100hz. I also had to remove my side panels because my video card is running 20 degrees hotter with the same utilization. Has anyone else noticed similar issues?
