    FPS Drops

    Ever since coming back to the game after a few months, I've been experiencing very specific FPS drops. If I run the game from boot, I can maintain 60 FPS perfectly. The moment I step into a city it's like the game is imposing an invisible 30 FPS limit that doesn't go away no matter if I move or restart the game. This 30 FPS 'limit' also occurs if I start the game after having my PC on for a while. This clearly isn't a hardware error, as I'm running much higher spec games perfectly, and did not face this issue with FF14 in the past. The issue stays consistent whether there's programs in the background or not.

    Started playing today with 60 FPS, took a break to play something else and came back to a permanent 6 FPS or under until I rebooted. This did not happen when I played last year, and is making the game absolutely not worth the trouble.

    Thank you for the information SutoTia.

    I would recommend doing a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC.

    Does this occur if you switch to Directx 9 mode?

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

    Hi there, sorry for delays. Clean boot hasn't helped much. Updated Nividia drivers seem to have helped a bit, but still happens after my PC's slept for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if this were just an Nvidia driver issue.

    Thank you for the update SutoTia.

    Did anything change on your PC before you came back and experienced this issue?

    Does this occur if you have the game in windowed or borderless?

    Also, check your V-sync setting in the Nvidia Control Panel. What setting is it on currently?

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

    Occurs in both modes, sadly, and I have V-sync disabled. Same graphics card and no hardware changes, so I'm having trouble placing the culprit as anything but poor drivers on Nvidia's part.

    Hello SutoTia, Thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

    The next thing we would like to suggest is uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Please let us know if this helps the issue.

    Hope to be of assistance.

    I'll try a reinstall today. A driver rollback to previously working drivers didn't fix it, unfortunately. Starting to suspect it's a problem with the windows Fall Creator thing.
