You could open task manager and change the priority of the game to be above normal. Stuttering can happen when the CPU doesn't see the game as a priority over all of the other things although it's not normally a problem with a good PC.

Please be careful when changing process priorities, you could potentially starve other programs of CPU time.

Do you have multiple monitors? and is XIV running on the primary or not?

I had issues with stuttering with it was not running on the primary monitor with Win11

it's on my primary. Even disconnected my other monitor to see if that would help.

Don't forget to post in the Tech Support forums. There are some folks there who are very knowledgeable and they don't often post here.

didn't know that existed tbh. First time posting on the forums. Thanks for the tip! ill post there if the solutions here didnt help. Wasnt able to test the character data folder last night, got home a bit too late.

It has to be that, as you have no issues with other characters. If it were a driver or hardware error all characters would have the same issue

Also you once you delete the glitchy character config files in " Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn " after you have gone back into the game and itr remakes a profile , exit the game and go into one of the other characters folders and copy paste their config files over to the fresh profile saving you having to redo keybinds and ui layouts

If not solved yet, you could try to reset client configs (on the launcher options) and look for corrupted files if you are using the steam version (just right click on the game in the game lists on your steam library).

I met a person in an old FC I went who had a similar issue with only one character. Seems to be some corrupted file on the SE server's end. His character was transfered from another DC and was created a very long time ago (I think it was when we are in beta test for ARR yet). After a lot of struggles, he decided to delete the character after leveling another. I remember helping him transfering some itens between them...
He never had any problems with any other of his characters before or after this particular one.

Well, removing the character data didn't work. Honestly dont know what could be causing the problem at this point. May just give up and live with it haha. Thanks to everyone who gave ideas and tips!

I had this problem for a while and it ended up being firefox. If I'd left firefox on for too long, or if I was watching youtube / twitch on my other monitor, my game would randomly stutter now and again. Then magically one day it stopped happening so... I wish I could give more info but the only way I could live with it was making sure the game was the only thing running.

Most likely random, but found that Windows 10 wallpaper slideshow causes computer wide stuttering when it changes background.

have you tried restarting your computer?

If you have not already, check your power supply. Over time, those draw power ineffectively and distribute it inefficiently to the CPU and video card. Often people think something is wrong with their video card when the problem is with a slowly-failing power supply (which is a much cheaper remedy).

If you were overclocking your video card previously, overclocking can damage the power supply and shorten its lifespan, especially if it were already barely high enough capacity. (Some people disbelieve that overclocking a video card can damage a PSU. They are wrong.)

If you do not know how to check it yourself, take the PC to a highly-rated PC repair place nearby. They can check the power supply and other components to figure out what is wrong. Diagnosis of problems usually costs about $75-100.

The pc is brand new, built it myself a month ago. The power supply is a very good 850W PSU, which is more than enough to handle the transient spikes a gpu throws at it. Also, overclocking your system does not damage your power supply, whomever told you that it does is either horribly wrong, or you misunderstood. The ONLY time it would is if your power supply is either really cheap, or very low end and does not have enough rails to support a proper load. Good quality power supplies have so many fail safes in place that even overloading it and causing undercurrent or another protection to kick in wont damage it.
