    Newer windows 10 builds (anything after creators update) have been notoriously full of known issues with the slightly older video cards and frame rates.

    You might want to try installing the 382.05 drivers for nvidia I know a lot of people who have had success with that. You will lose the geforce overlay (i dunno if thats important to you) but a lot of people on various communities (reddit / steam and other game communities) have reported a significant improvement in gaming performance using the 382.05 drivers. just be sure to disable automatic updates in the geforce experience.

    the other option is generally go back to an earlier windows build such as 1509 and disable windows update. lot more hassle though.

    I shall try that!

    I really hope I can fix it.. I wish to buy me a newer card and a cooler as well, but I really have no money for it for now. Plus usually it worked even with what I have now.

    So I really really hope I can get it fixed.. Otherwise it really is unplayable for me.

    So I can give you an update now.

    With a small sturggle to get my update the version you told me to do, I managed it.
    And for now, even after running alphascape v2 i had none FPS drops. Of course with Direct X9 and low laptopt graphics in FF. But that doesnt matter, I would take stable and smooth frames over graphics any day!

    It works for now really well! I just hope it stays since the last time I was thining it worked, was for 2 hours and then the drops kicked in.

    I will update you when it happens again!

    Thank you for the update AmyRose112, and thank you Dzian for the suggestion.

    I hope that was able to resolve the issue for you. Can you clarify what you did? Did you revert your graphics drivers to 382.05 and used DirectX 9 mode, or did you try something else?

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