Game running slow

[Merle]

I'm having issues since this evening and, honestly, i have no idea what happened. I was playing like normally (daily tribes quest, Moogle EX, etc.) with my game running perfectly. I joined a Levi EX party and we wiped. After exiting the duty my character went back to mist, where i was, but i wasn't able to move. It seemed my map was still loading, so i had to wait. After that, every single map takes around 1 minutes to load and some npcs doesn't appear (or it takes 2 minutes to appear). The game is installed on a SSD and my loading time is always around 5-10 seconds (worst case), but now i have to wait 1 minute (it's a nightmare to load Revenant Toll). I tried everything: check virus, use ccleaner, update windows/drivers, reinstall the game... but still doesn't work. All my other games work perfectly without any loading issues, so i'm pretty sure isn't a hardware issue. I did nothing, "it just happened".

Any idea about what's happening?



EDIT: Also, it takes forever to open the game. Once i write my login/password and the launcher tries to change to fullscreen mode, usually takes around 15 seconds. Now it appears the text "not responding" and it takes 1 minute to open:

did u try restarting computer? sometimes it fixes that if its a ram or cpu problem

No, i restarted like 5 times. I turned off my pc for 12 hours just in case it was some weird overheating issue and no, is not. The issue is still there and i have no idea how to solve it ><

[Ddmk]

Ps4 launch + returning 2.2 players = slower load times... That'd be my guess anyway

I could understand it if it were in populated areas like revenant toll, but no, even to start the game takes around 1 minute (insert login/pass-> enter-> fullscreen mode) when only took 15 seconds before. It may be some issue with my cpu/ram/whatever, but.... all my other games works perfectly: no loading issues, no issues changing to fullscreen mode... nothing. Only FFXIV has issues... i don't understand why...

I reinstalled the game and still doesn't work

Well... not sure why the last post was deleted... here is the pic again, hiding the name of the application....

[Raist]

Sounds like something may be causing a lot of congestion along your path to the game server and back, or something is consuming your CPU cycles (or maybe even both?). This game is absurdly dependent on both of those elements (and yes, lagging responses/packet losses over the internet because of an overly congested segment out somewhere like Chicago or Ohio can and will affect your load times, as you are waiting on all that data to swap between you and the server before you see things happen on screen).

Might want to run a good malware scan, look at your running processes in task manager, and find the IP for your server and run a batch of tracerts to it just to see if you spot anything out of sorts.

Try using a single pair of Ram. Maybe one of your sticks is dieing.
Or just use one of your vid cards at a time.

[Raist]

also looks like you are on older drivers too?

Perhaps some updates may help?

You've also got something running that frequently seems to be the cause of slowdowns/lag with multiple games:

Pando Media Booster

Edit:
Apparently, Pando has been causing some people to get their browsers hijacked... who knows what you may have going on with your system if you got hit with it too:

May want to grab the free scanner from www.malwarebytes.org just to see if you have picked up something troublesome.
