Audio popping issue

[XenophineEX]

Of the six posts I linked in which Intel users were suffering from the bug, one person alleviated the issue (by 90% in their estimation) by cleaning out the dust in their machine. Another solved an issue with their audio dropping entirely but still had the stutter. Not one of the six posters was able to "fix it totally." I don't understand what point you're trying to make with Intel users supposedly being in a better position to fix it - there's no evidence to suggest this at all as far as I can see. The queues are a separate issue. I agree, they suck, but EVERYONE is dealing with that.

As I've said way too many times in this thread, you can try upgrading if you have the money, but the only fix for the actual technical problem that's causing all of this can only come from Square Enix. They are aware of the problem and will be trying to get it fixed before 6.1, but we have no idea when that will be. The best things you can do are to submit a bug report if you haven't already, cancel your sub, be patient, and play another game for a while.

I appreciate the sentiment, but all of my posts are in this thread. I'm not going anywhere till this issue is fixed. Then you will never hear from me again. =)
6 intel people out of 10000 amd users is still 99% amd users. Statistics not your thing?

Doesn't matter, they said they are finally aware of this issue on AMD machines. They aren't very common in Japan because it is mainly a North American budget processor. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is an American multinational semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, California.

I expect a fix to happen within 2 weeks, and sales to resume again around the same time.

I was going to get my wife to play... but during several "super awesome boss fights" the audio stuttering started happening... embarrassing as hell when you are trying to bring someone into the game... She immediately noticed and said what the hell is that... if your pc can't run it mine damn sure can't and I tried to explain it was something they were working on but that with the sales taken down... she may never join me in this game now.
