Hopefully someone who is much more tech savvy then myself can help me out. About 4 days ago FFXIV has become completely unplayable for me. NVIDEA had an update that made the game give me the fatal directx 1000000. I was able to fix this by simply changing the settings to make the game play with my graphics card instead of the intel on board graphics.

Now, I finally don't get this error anymore but it's so laggy I can't even get into the loggin screen. When I go into the configuration screen on the main menu (which takes me 5 minutes to get to) it's showing I'm at 0-1 FPS. Under Display Settings the only option is MICROSOFT_BASIC_RENDER_DRIVER. This should be showing my graphics card right? I'm very confusing because I even disabled the onboard graphics from the hardware screen. I also confirmed that the preferred graphics card I have set is my NVIDEA card.

Does anyone have any advise on how I can fix this? It's very frustrating that the game was running perfectly just a few days ago. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall my drivers, I even reinstalled the game with no luck.
