graphical lag?

[IveraIvalice]

what the hell happened to the game?
every since the patch as soon as i logged in, the game is just complete lag and is completely unplayable now on the settings i was playing on perfectly before. now in order to play i have to have my settings set to a standard laptop settings and mine is by no means a standard laptop.
something changed since the update that made the same settings unplayable on my laptop. is anyone else experiencing this?
i feel like im going crazy here. maybe it just that i dont know a whole lot about computers like i thought but all i know is that i was able to play this game on near max settings before the patch and after its pure lag, even going through the menu on the start screen before selecting my character

Same thing started with me on the day of the patch.
I have a 75/50 Mbps connection and < 50 ms ping to the server.
Intel I7-4770K @ 4.5Ghz, 32MB RAM, NVidia 660Ti OC 3GB.

Anytime SE has mentioned "upgrading" the servers this seems to happen.
Such as the time they "upgraded" the servers for AK.

thats interesting, though it sounds like your issue is different then mine. mine isnt a lag spike, it doesnt run good and then random lag. it just 100% lag. if i move from one icon to another it starts moving instantly but it moves between them slow. everything is just horribly slow, but when i turn down my settings it runs at a faster pace. but these were the settings i was using before. i refuse to use the settings as a standard laptop when i specifically bought i good gaming laptop so i can play this game on it.

if anyone has any info on why this might be happening please let me know.
i have a razer blade pro gaming laptop
GPU: GeForce GTX 765M
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHZ
RAM: 8GBs
windows 8.1 64 bit operating system



the only things i can think of is that i recently updated a display driver and i updated from windows 8 to windows 8.1
but i hear people are playing ffxiv on this version.

most latop tops are basicly running 50% of your hardware is capable of and most you cant OC.
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHZ this is your problem most games theses days require over 3.0ghz you aint pushing data fast enough. OC your CPU if not your SOL.
im running a i7 860 over 100FPS because its @3.4ghz

Make sure you're running FF14 with the correct graphics adapter. Horrible performance after a patch is mostlikely the cause of trying the run the game on your Intel integrated graphics instead of your Nvidia card.

this is interesting though i have not run into this personally but have heard of that happening. and since i havent run into this myself i wouldnt know how to go about checking that. would you be able to provide more info on where i can find out if my game is running with my Nvidia card and not the intel graphics?

that's probably your problem. some people are playing, some others are getting lag and crashes.

Idk, I've actually started getting better performance ever since 2.1

Mainly just the rate/how PC's in crowded places like Mor Dhona has improved, and that was the only thing that wasnt 100% before hand and everything else was flawless. Havent had/heard of either of you guys problems

I've heard people needing to reinstall FFXIV or reformat it since drivers weren't up to date.
