In-Game Configuration Tool

[Kurokikaze]

A simple suggestion that I find hard for anyone on these forums to disagree with...

Basically I would like this:

and all the settings within it to be accessible here:

There is absolutely no reason why someone needs to leave the game in order to change their graphic settings, let alone their sound or gamepad settings. It makes fine-tuning a chore since you're forcing players to drop from the game to make the slightest adjustments.

This may or may not have been included in the part of the letter that mentions in-game configuration menu changes (might have been only for /commands)... so some clarification on that from a mod/dev would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

Bumping. I don't want this to get lost in the sea of useless threads.

Agreed, it would be a good addition and is something that is usually pretty standard for MMOs.

[Kurokikaze]

Any PC game period, not just MMOs. lol

Yeah it is extremely annoying having to keep logging in and out to fine tune and change important settings, this is something I hope they can get sorted

Agree with this, it was the first thing that stood out to me like a neon sign that SE just don't know how to program very well.

As said above every PC game has in game graphics,audio,UI and control configuration its really archaic to have an external EXE doing this for you.

They should definitely have the option to adjust graphics/options from in game. It is quite a pain the ass to have to logout to change resolution or sound settings/game pad settings etc

It's just one of the many things that makes FF XIV so outdated. I bet it would be a huge job to change it though, well thats what they will tell us anyway.

This game is another year (at least) away from being fully playable and to be released on ps3 (maybe?) They will probably say it is complicated. I mean they couldn't even add an option for ambient sound control because they programmed it in some weird way. I hope they do it at some point. It's a really annoying thing to shut down your game to change settings.

I can see later on if there will be content with more players that people would like to change their settings to not lag for certain events and max them out again when doing basic stuff.

I imagine it would be be a huge pain in the ass for them to fix it, I mean right now you can't even tab out in fullscreen because it will crash the game due to Direct X errors.

It's pretty clear that Crystal Tools is just not very good outside of a closed system like PS3 and 360.

I really wish they would consider switching to Unreal Engine 3 or something.
