Hello,
I am hoping to get some help on this issue I am having since I can't seem to pin point what is causing it myself.

The past week or so while playing FFXIV my FPS will suddenly drop very low to 9-11 fps and I will experience massive lag. It happens at all random times sometimes I am in dungeons, raid, eureka or just sitting in a main city. I have checked my CPU and GPU while it has happened and everything is normal there. I have also tried to close everything else running to make sure it wasn't a RAM issue but that didn't help either. It does not fix it if I restart the game or my computer. As far as I can tell I have no other programs interfering with the game.

My friend thinks it might be a corrupt file and I should try reinstalling the game but before I try that I wanted to post here and see if anyone had any ideas.

All my drivers and graphics are updated and my computer is very new only about 4 months old.
I appreciate any help. TYIA
