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

[Lersayil]

How is this possible? RL basically has >5*10^44 "fps" with only our eyes (changes with >200fps still noticeable) being the limit. How is it for you, when you see cars passing or when you're turning around? ôo

I get motionsick in extended rapid camera movement scenarios. For some reason sub 100 FPS it bothers me less. Rapid movements on the screen above 120 or something just makes me dizzy faster. Something about the fluidity I guess.

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.

I did not spend a ton of money on a great monitor and a great rig to suddenly be capped at 90 FPS when I doing 144 just fine. Change this square, it's 2019 and SUPER embarrassing for you.

I can tell the difference between 60 and 120. But the fact is 90 is perfectly fine and furthermore it won't be any kind of "stutter fest" on high refresh monitors. Your eyes will only really care about a CHANGE in FPS. If the client can hold consistently at 90, you won't even see it.

For a fair number of users the in-game limiter does cause stuttering. If you personally don't experience this issue then that's fine, but others do. We're not just making this up, lol.

This is really unacceptable. Worst part is we dont get any explanations. Lots of us are playing at 144

[Syphin_Polaris]

Zero issues on my end capping myself at 60 for as long as I've played. Dunno why they needed to cap FPS at 90 specifically but the FPS capping has never effected my game play.

[HyoMinPark]

Not really a fan of this. Especially since I invested in a 144 Hz monitor a couple months ago. Some clarification from the developers would be appreciated.

Please revert this change or add more options, 90 fps cap is unacceptable.

Why? Just why? Why was even a single second of dev time wasted on this? Why do you care if a player plays at a higher frame rate? We don't have any frame perfect techniques so this literally does not matter.

Is this xpac trying to do more than cater to casual audiences but cater to casual hardware too?

Seriously... not everything is a casual vs hardcore scenario. This is a MIGHTY shoehorn.

I'd sacrifice physics for fps any day
