DirectX 11 FPS Issues

[Aurelius_Kwon]

For a while now, when running DirectX 11, my fps stutters endlessly and jumps all over the place. I have no idea what the issue is. It has been persistent through an entirely new build and sever re-installs and clean PC wipes. If anyone has a solution for this please help!

I have played in DX9 and it works well enough to be playable but drops to 30 fps constantly and I'd much rather play on DX11.

Thank you for posting in in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

When running the game on Direct X 11, have you tried disabling full screen mode? If not please do the following:

- Please find the "ffxiv_dx11.exe" and right click it and select properties. Then under the compatibility tab there will be a check box labeled "Disable Full Screen Optimizations". Check it and click apply.

In addition to the suggestion above, please try the following:

-Try switching to DirectX 9 by selecting the ‘Config’ button on the launcher
- Make sure drivers are up to date
- Disable any overlays ( Discord and other programs)
- Change screen resolution ( try playing in " windowed" mode, fullscreen mode or border less fullscreen)

Hope to see you online!
