Thank you for the update Stamaskas.

When you mentioned lag, I was thinking it was a connection issue, but it sounds like you are getting a lower frame rate even if you shouldn't be? You also mentioned that your game crashes, what error message are you getting (if any)?

While in game, go to System Settings and find the Display settings. Here you will find an option that will restrict frame rate while the client is inactive. Make sure this is unchecked. If you have any overlays on your PC (Geforce Experience, Discord Overlay, etc.), try disabling those.

Can you submit a Final Fantasy XIV system report? Simply go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.'

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