Benchmark is out

[Viuiji]

** This benchmark is not available on Mac OS. **

So I open it.. .and it loads the splash and closes instantly. Great. -.-

Mine isn't working either. I can load the launcher itself and modify settings, but when I try to open the creator or the benchmark, it simply closes and reopens the launcher...

Tried right-click/run as administrator on the executable? See if that works, or changing the OS on the compatability tab? If you are using Vista/Windows 7/8 then not sure why it's not working :/

Hahahahaha....ha... 3 hours of downloading. T_T I wonder if my ethernet cord got unplugged somehow; this is how slow things were when I was wireless.

Hnrg, some of those dx11 effects are very noticeable. I like... <3

Not really for the dx11, but:

Everyone's downloading it at once, and the server can only handle so much.

Running with my settings in-game on ARR, updated for DX11, 6804 (Ranked Very High)

On Max Settings 3719 (Ranked High) :3

Well Im using a gtx 460 and and amd phenom 955.

I set it to maximum and 1080p. my results

dx9=4707 high
dx11=3007 fairly high

so definitely didnt get improved performance from dx11. But this is on max setting which my old pc cant handle anyways. Now im going to run it at the setting i play at to see if theres a difference. (that dx11 water is sooooo nice.)

edit. Ran with the settings i play at.

dx9=7247 extremely high
dx11=5484 very high

Guess ill be sticking to dx9 until i upgrade my pc.

Having the same problem as well. Using the latest version of Windows 8 and running as an administrator didn't seem to help. Don't have FFXIV running. Not sure what else to do.

Sorry it didn't help Nor am I to be honest, let's hope someone with more tech know-how than myself can come up with something! :/

All the available download llinks on that url all keep downloading the ARR benchmark..not sure why its doing this for me when all the info on the url is about heavensward..
