Framerate Issues Since Dawntrail Launch

[AvengerXZ]

just curious for those having these issues.. do you by any chance have origin /epic games launcher installed?

You shouldnt have any issue if you put limit to 60. Stuttering and other issues dissappear. But some people still aiming for play a MMO like they re playing to League of legends with 200 fps. It doesnt matter, put 60 and the drama of the 90% forum is done.

The frame limit doesn't matter. The stuttering still happens both when I limit it to 30 fps, and when I ticked the 'Limit frame rate when client is inactive' tickbox, which puts the game at 15fps when you tab out. I tabbed out and ran around and it still happened.

If anyone has origin/epicgames installed, try uninstalling it and see if it helps...

After trying several things I found some solution in the meantime before dev try to figure out the issue is, for me at least.

The issue that is from
Screen Mode = Full Screen
with
Framerate = Main Display Refresh Rate

- This setting will cause Frametime stuttering "Spike", hard.

To fix this on my end
Screen Mode = Borderless Windowed
with
Framerate = Main Display Refresh Rate

With this setting, I may not get a smooth Frametime line (if you use MSI Afterburner to check that) like I use Full Screen mode but.....
The Frametime Spike is much less and almost unnoticeable during gameplay and some intense boss fights. and my FPS still reaches the native Monitor Frame Hz (mine is 75hz)

I don't know if my reply may help or not but I'll leave it here.

PS. My PC Spec is (If dev seen my post)
CPU: Intel 14700
RAM: 32Gb (16x2) 6000Mhz
GPU: GTX 1080
Monitor: Dell SE2717H (Native: 1920x1080 75hz)
Storage: SSD 1TB (Where my FF14 is installed)

That didn't fix it for me or for my friends. Still getting a random stutter where the game seems to pause for a split second and then continue on. SE needs to fix this asap.

Have you tried disabling HVCI/Core Isolation in windows? That was causing stutters every couple of hours/days for me, and I would get "IsolatedUserMode" events in event viewer. If there are events from that source that coincide with the timing of the stutters, that may be it.

I've done the memory integrity thing, but not the other. I don't feel like I should have to make my computer less secure because of bad programming in XIV.

I agree. My understanding is that core isolation (disabling core isolation is the same as disabling HVCI I believe) is an extra layer of protection that will really only matter if you're spending a lot of time pirating things off of dodgy websites. So obviously it's up to you if that's a (relatively small) risk you're willing to take.

I thought I had a reprieve after the latest Nvidia update but nope.

I have tried toggling everything to potato settings like everyone else has and yeah like everyone says your FPS doesn't matter and it can be very high, it will still do a major 1-2 second stutter/freeze at random then rocket back to normal framerate, it's making the game unplayable when it happens as if it freezes during a quick mechanic you're toast.

Wish there was some recognition that this is an accepted bug and they were looking for a solution
