For some people, especially with dual screen configuration, G-Sync doesn’t work well in borderless windows. That’s my case and this change is screwing everything for me...

For example...I cant run it borderless because my screen will start flickering and everything else (like watching a stream besides playing) is stuttering and lagging.
I also running with two screens but it was fine before so thats not the problem either.
It was completly fine before the patch... so i'm forced to play with 60hz and with 60fps on a 144hz freesync monitor... really fun...
I could use the "fix" but i think the risk to getting banned for that is to high.

Have you tried disabling Windows game mode? It's a Windows feature that essentially tries to hoard all available resources for a full screen application it detects as a game. While this is great for when you only play a game, this is bad for multitasking and caused me and my gfs machines to stutter video playback on a second monitor and disabling that helped us to that end. Keep in mind that by doing so, you will be losing some performance but it was very minimal in our case and maybe you can play borderless windowed at >60hz. Hope this helps.

I doubt they'll be any bans or that, there's no reasoning behind this for example we don't know even WHY this was even implemented to begin with or what they were even thinking. Bout the only comment so far is a translation that some people might have threatened to sue SE or something about possible computer hardware failure for unlimited FPS (even though PC gaming is the responsibility of people to watch their own temps). The fact that people ATM on reddit are basically recommending a minor modification to override the FPS cap to run the game the way it was before because their patch is actually causing performance issues just point's out how flawed this whole process is and how the communication just isnt there from SE. What's worse is it being set to 90FPS when the average monitor for high FPS is at least 120 or 144hz it makes no sense like the number was just pulled out of the air even.

Please just remove this it's not right that people might risk a ban just to be able to make the game playable that's just not on in 2019 SE!

There was nothing wrong with it before. We are "fixing" things that aren't broken. Revert please.

I bought a new gaming laptop so I could play FFXIV while away from home, and it ran perfectly before the Shadowbringers update. Now that this has been implemented I can't even get into the game with dx11 without it crashing at launch. And dx9 was discontinued. Thanks SE! Fix this, because I can't even play the game I paid for anymore!

Game feels horrible to play going from 144hz to 85hz... this is absolute madness.
