unlimited frame rate option has been removed from the client on 5.0

Guys. The unlimited selection is all that changed.

1/1 is still going to be the framerate of your display, 1/2 is still going to be half the framerate of your display, and 1/4 is still going to be a quarter of the framerate of your display. All that changed is the unlimited framerate selection going from well, unlimited to 90fps.

Not really. 1/1 limits me to 60fps even though my monitor is 144hz. The way they're making it now is that you can only get 15, 30, 60 and 90.

are you sure? i had this issue too until i went into my actual monitor settings and set it 144fps. then FFxiv changed its values. Not home to check atm but I do remember that. I hope Valk is right.

Same with mine. This sounds like they have a config issue.

You know what? I'm stupid. I forgot to reset that back to 144hz when my system crashed a couple of days ago...

That's what some people are guessing but still it's unclear. I wouldn't make this claim for sure just yet.

All they said was unlimited was changing. There is zero reason to think anything else is. If it was, it'd be in the patch notes, no?

Anyways its rather circumstantial and unrelated to FF14 since it doesn't really do that kind of thing with the camera. And yes I do get motionsick in RL too, but i'm a rather mild case as it usually takes a good hour or more for it to kick in.

Strange. But had something comparable. When I started to use SVP, to "increase" the framerate of a e.g. 30fps video, it was strange for me at the beginning. As if it was speed up, which may be the result of me being used to movies/tv series running with 24fps. I didn't have the "speed up"-effect with games.
After a time, the effect disappeared and I've had a smooth video before me. Nowadays I immediately notice the low diashow-like framerate of 24fps or 30fps movies. 60fps not as strongly, but noticeable.
Although I don't have any motion sickness in RL, maybe it may help with your motion sickness from high fps.

Thing is, the ingame vsync does trouble for many, which results in stutters.
With "unlimited" it has been disabled. If you still wanted to cap it, you could use RTSS or Nvidia to do that, which does NOT result in stutters.

All they said was Viera were coming. There is zero reason to think no male Viera. If it was, they would have said so at fanfest when they first announced Viera, no?

Point being, they don't have the best track record when it comes to communication. So it could go either way at this point.
