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

So far, we do still don't know why the 90fps limit? I did read as measure against bots but nothing official.

Now you all look like botters. GG.

I've yet to see any source for this, in fact the ONLY info so far is a vague translation off the twitch stream patchnotes reading about some people threatening to sue SE for melting their system's (FFXIV can run really hot at max performance) being behind this somewhat. We've had no official statement or reasoning for this. It's also a bad way of stopping cheater's IF it's even related to it because this change degrades performance for people for no reason and others WILL use the ddl workaround to restore a function they've had for 6 YEARS. The last thing SE would want to do is ban legitimate players unintentionally who are only using fixes to be able to play the game properly.

This change ultimately needs to be removed as I've said before 90hz is way too low the standard nowadays is in the 144hz range for PC gaming and this change has hurt legitimate players.

If really the change was to stop botting, I can understand why an issue that touch 0,1% of people got a Zergillion posts in forum of people that want it removed.

If your system melts over a video game, you do not have proper cooling. Which is your fault.

I run on max settings easily and my system runs cold as ice. Then again, I know what I'm doing and I have proper cooling.

I agree on this, if your building a high end PC one of the most important thing's is to check your temperature's to make sure you've enough cooling. The problem though is there's too many people who will try suing for shady reasons and don't take responsibility.

If you think 0.1% of people have displays with >90hz refresh rates, please take my hand and I will kindly guide you out of the year 2010 and into the year 2019.

60hz is quickly falling by the wayside. High refresh rates are so common that even low to mid-range gaming laptops are being sold with them preinstalled.

As a temporary solution, we are going to revert these changes to pre-patch 5.0. It is our top priority to address these issues and find a solution for them in the future.



Something something the devs don't listen to feedback.

Looks like good news in anyways. Can understand they don't want people falling through the floor of course but the FPS cap actually causes more problems. I play at high FPS but have never experienced any fall through or glitches. At least they'll revert this and try another approach now.
