Another nvidia driver released today and updated to, re-freshed windows with latest ISO copy off microsoft website+updates reset all FF14 settings through launcher.
Ive done timespy 4k extreme stress tests on the GPU to make sure there isnt any weird stuff going on and nothing out of the ordinary happened - still dont think its a hardware issue.
Problem persists.
Only other option at this point is to grab a fresh copy of FF14 and if that doesnt fix it then i have nfi and give up.
PLEASE HALP
