Hey all, I have a weird issue exclusive to FFXIV that I find a bit hard to describe, but here goes..


Periodically, the game actions will freeze. I won't see any animations, whether it's people's limbs moving, weapons moving, explosions etc. AoE effects will not show. The only things I can see/do include: buffs on the boss, I can glide around (like walking without limbs moving), I get cast bars and cooldown times on my skills. I can see the parties HP fluctuate (important as I am a healer).

This doesn't happen much, but it did happen twice on Tuesday (once during raid). I killed us during that raid by running straight into a resin puddle.

Has anyone experienced something similar, or have any idea what the cause may be?
