Good morning and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Can you describe the freezes? Roughly how long are they?

As for the tabbing in and out, this won't minimize the window so if you close out Chrome (or any other window), the game will likely be the next default window so it will open that up.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

Anywhere from a few seconds to around 30-40 tops.

The tabbing thing as I said it's a minor thing for me.

But the freezes are starting to irritate me a little. As I said I've done everything possible. Reinstalled drivers, windows, cleaned my pc and well the list goes on.

A member of my FC says it's to do with server lag if that's any help.

Thank you for the reply Trekkie22,

What you are describing doesn't seem too out of the ordinary. The freezes probably isn't the game freezing but the loading screen animation while the next area is loading. Some areas can take up to 30 to 40 seconds to load so I'm not sure if there is a glitch or technical issue with your copy of the game. As such, I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done outside of upgrading your hardware. I apologize for the inconvenience, but we will note this down as we are continuing to improve the game in any way we can.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
