Framerate Issues Since Dawntrail Launch

[Xeliot]

Sorry for bringing in cookie-cutter solutions, but this one has worked for me so far and eliminated the stuttering for good: disable and don't use any USB controllers when playing (At least until it's fixed). You can either use an Xbox Wireless Adapter or connect a DS4/DualSense via Bluetooth if you don't want to use a mouse and keyboard.

Something wonky about the spaghetti code is messing up the controller connection through USB and causing frame spikes.

Having this issues of frame pacing/stuttering as well, game was working perfectly until just before 7.0

What I tried:
-Reinstalling the game twice
-Repairing Windows 11
-Checking temps
-Disabling the two enumerators (these were already disabled)
-Updating all my drivers (GPU, CPU Chipset, Mouse, Headset etc)
-Setting graphic settings to max
-Setting graphic settings to low
-Enabling AMD FSR
-Enabling DLSS
-Reducing the polling rate of my mouse
-Disabling MS GameInput
-OC'ing my GPU and CPU
-Undervolting my GPU and CPU
-Running a MemTest
-Checking my drives for failures
-Enabling true fullscreen
-Enabling windowed fullscreen
-Capping/Uncapping my framerate
-Disabling G-sync

The only thing I have left is try using the software mouse instead of the hardware one, let's see how it goes

I find the issue when i try to do anything related to mouse/keyboard when im using controller (moving the mouse to click on something or sometimes even typing)

Framerate seems fine for me (14700k rtx3090), generally well over 100fps. But framepacing and/or microstutter is far worse in DT.

I kinda solved the problem by lowering the 3D resolution scale from 99 to 80.

I'm having some problems, on special after the 7.01, with stuttering. On general is like a 0.5 sec stuttering and after gonna back to run clean, what's a bit annoying, taking off all my imersion and focus.

I'm on a 12400F, 3060 and 32gb of ram, tried to maintain the windows, att drivers, even restarting the game but the stutterings continues and without a fixed timing.

Very strange, i can't say if i taked a lot before the att because mostly of my time was on the cutscenes of the msq so i can't be clear about that.

since today patch the problem seems worse than before

Did this work?

So what happened for me. Years ago I enabled low latency mode in the Nvidia drivers for FF. Which disables frames queuing for the videocard. That used to work just fine, but now that caused issues in certain situations. Setting that back to default (off) fixed most of the microstutter for me.

This is also affecting me. Seeing the reports on controller issues, I do use the official licensed Hori Joystick Keypad for FFXIV, and I'm really frustrated and dismayed at the possibility that this is causing the issue.
