Just started. First off my brothers server is full...
Second off I've watched them play on the PS3 and their game loads like 3-5x faster than mine!

I have the following:
i5 3570k
HD7950 OC'd to 1105/1370
8gb DDR3 - 64gb Boot SSD - 128gb Game SSD (game installed here) - 1tb Library HDD (w/page file)

While running the game fullscreen on max 1920x1080 (120hz) I get skipping, slow character loading and slow zone loading. (same results with high (desktop) and medium (desktop) as well as manually setting everything to low).

I benched my drive and it's still going strong. I benched my boot drive, it's good as well. Other games load fine. Down stream is 50-70mbps and upstream is 2-4mbps on speedtest.

No idea what to do. Updating to beta AMD drivers since they have a FFXIV update but it's notes don't correlate to this issue.

Barely got to level 2 before the lack of environment loading caused a zone to load not at all. I walked on the lumisa luminosa upper decks and while crossing a bridge there were no NPCs, Nothing.

Then I walked into a building and fell thru and died but still had 1 hp and could move around. Had to return to the crystal to do anything.

Even after I zone to area, I have to stand still for 1-3 minutes before the NPC's load. This may be a slight exaggeration but not by much. I go over to the couch and watch TV till the game loads, that's how long it takes.
