This fixes nothing. I tried FSR 100 with no AA, with FXAA, FSR 99 with FXAA and no AA. No matter which setting I get a massive headache and some places hurt to look at (e.g. final area) due to the blur when moving, aside from that flashbang glare. Not everyone can deal with the blur, no blur, blur, no blur changes just because you're walking a few yalms. And don't get me started on that wonly heat effect in the first city. If it fixes it for you, that's great, really. But it's not a universal fix for everyone sadly. I had to stop playing yesterday because of the last area causing actual pain in my eyes. I later forced myself to get through the rest of the MSQ and had to skip myself through it because even the cutscenes were too much for me to look at in this area. However forcing myself through it was a pretty bad idea, I have horrible headache today and my right eye hurts like crazy. I've never had any of these issues before the update nor did I ever run into any issues with any other game so it's pretty safe to say that it is caused by the update. And I have tried a lot of different settings already, even adding sharpness and stuff via the nvidia overlay but it doesn't help. As of now FFXIV is not playable for some of us who were able to play it just fine before the update.
Like I mentioned in a post earlier, before the update I could easily play 8h+ without problems, now I can play max 1-2h, if even depending on the area.
