Memory Leak/Preformance Issue

[Rhaeyn]

Also getting the massive frame drop to ~1fps + crash to desktop, mostly when trying to teleport. Sometimes it doesn't crash after the frame drop and the fps go back up once I'm in the new area, but most of the time it crashes. This happens every other hour, sometimes twice in a row, sometimes I can teleport back and forth without any problems. Never had this before 2.3.
Gonna try that LOD workaround later.


Windows 7 professional 64bit
Radeon HD6970 (14.4 drivers)

playing fullscreen windowed, usually with 40-60 fps, maybe 30 in very crowded areas.


(16.08.14) edit:// Turned on LOD Streaming and no crash since two days so far.
(22.08.14) edit:// Still no crash since turning on LOD Streaming. Still, wouldn't call it a solution, just a workaround.
(07.09.14) edit:// Problem seems to have vanished completely, at least for me, as long as I keep on LOD-Streaming. No more warp-related crashes or massive frame drops.

The LOD streaming thing doesn't fix the problem it just reduces it. I still get hte lag after being logged in for hours. But.... it crashes a whole lot less. Just wanted to say this is a workaround not a solution. A workaround I'm happy with, until I crash on an S rank.... which happened.

I had this issue on my nvidia card and it was fixed with a driver update. I don't have the problem (yet) on my amd card.

Still getting this issue to some extent. It's not as common as before since the LOD thing but I noticed this thread is getting closer to its no activity point. Just hoping to keep activity alive until SE says -something-

I haven't done much hints sense my last report I'll try busting some out this weekend and see is in still having issues. P.s. What gives with the extreme long time between driver updates on AMD. Has anyone went through all the beta drivers one at a time sense the last official ones? Doing driver cleaner between each one? Just wondering hoping maybe there's one in there that may fix this stupid issue.

Just adding another to the list of people having troubles with this. Radeon HD 7850 on Windows 7 x64, 8gb RAM. Definately isn't an issue with my PC as I can run several other games on max without a single problem. It's isolated to FFXIV and several models of GPU; mostly people with AMD cards but there have been a few nVidia issues posted.

Interesting to note, since 2.35 I have gotten a different type of error. Occasionally, it will tab out and tell me there's been an unexpected error, but when I Alt-Tab back to the game window it's in a strange limbo world. All animations and effects are frozen, but you can zoom around and click on things (obviously, nothing happens). You can't do anything other than click "OK" on the error window, which will then shut the game down. Usually after that, it will not load up again (hangs on the transition between launcher and fullscreen ffxiv.exe) and needs to be soft rebooted...

No joy getting a response here, so perhaps we need to contact AMD if people haven't already.

Another Victim here as well; same problem as everyone else. Radeon HD 7800 on Windows 7x64, 32GB Ram. Updated drivers, tested HDD and Ram with no issues. None of my other games have issues just FFXIV.

Also a victim of this issue.

i5 4670k - R9 290X - 2560X1440 Resolution - 8GB System Ram, Win 7 64-Bit

I get this issue if I am porting around a lot for Hunts. It tends to be as I'm porting, and will completely lag out and crash where ever I land. Sometimes if I sit still it will recover, but usually not.

I have not encountered the issue when running in 1920X1080 Resolution.

I will be trying the LOD settings, ty for that

I sometimes crash while teleporting or very rarely after killing a boss in ST.

This has occurred with me since launch. It is especially bad if I visit Revenant's Toll for more than 5 minutes or so. When I go to leave Mor Dhona, I inevitably crash.

Through Steam or not, it still happens.
