Thread: Played this upon initial release with playable Frame Rate now 6FPS constant

SO I bought this game back about a year ago, maybe two I dont really remember, but I do remember it actually running on my PC. I decided to buy it again because I lost all my info from my previous purchase etc and was looking into actually playing this game as I did with FF11...years of time put in. Yet when I install everything and get it running I get a constant 6fps on lowest of the low settings. What happened with this!? Performance was about 30fps last time I played and now its a constant 6...I feel ripped off to be honest, but most of all I feel let down as a consumer. I dont have the best rig and dont have money to dish out because well, I have bills and because of the bills i decided this would be a good time sink to save money. Is there any word as to why its so terrible performance wise or any expected performance customizations I can do outside the game to help it run or...am I just boned and out $35?

Would help if you listed your PC specifications.

My guess would be that while your PC had the specs to run 1.0, with the enhancements in 2.0, your PC no longer is up to spec to run this. Though it is curious, i'm currently running a crap 6 year old, basically, system and am still getting between 20-30 fps on average, hitting 40-50 in the open world every so often. So if you post your system specs we will be to assist you further, make sure you list all relevant specs. Like mine:

Core 2 Duo E6600 3.0GHz OC
6 GB DDR2-800 Corsair Vengeance RAM
ASUS P5N-D MBoard
EVGA Geforce 550 ti OC'd to 1022 MHz
2x 7200 Seagate SATA2 HDD
