Framerate Issues Since Dawntrail Launch

[Araxes]

Fill out bug reports on the official forums, guys. The more people who do it, the sooner it will grab their attention and they can assess the issue. If nobody complains, they won't know it's a problem.

It is not a bug, it is a issue with the Games Software which is why we are in the Tech support Forum.

0 fps issues, the min. requierments are not accurated

i7-12700 2.3 Ghz + RTX 3060 and I get "fairly high" on the benchmark but my gameplay stutters like crazy since early access. Drop to 20 frames for 1 second every 15-30 seconds even with everything set to the lowest setting.

i7-10750H and RTX 2060. Running mostly low to medium settings at 1080p, just aiming for 60 fps.

Certain spots in the new zones completely tank my fps just by panning the camera over them. Some boss attacks also noticeably tank the framerate (2nd to last new trial notably). No crashing (thankfully) or issues in old zones.

Turning off shadow cascading fixes the fps tanking in the new zones, but now they obviously look pretty awful. Not the most elegant solution. The new shadows seem especially jank. Boss attacks still murder the framerate though.

Same issue for me too. Game sometimes dips down 15-20 FPS, which is no big deal but its that damn millisecond freeze/stutter that's driving me bonkers. I set a FPS cap to 140 and that made it better about 90% of the time, although I haven't hit the second hub city yet. No issues in frontlines though. Seem to notice a correlation between hunt trains flying over my head and it happening lol.

Also, it seems like Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator is perma-unavailable as well as it needs to be "connected to the computer" but I have no idea what that is...kinda thinking I shouldn't have to mess with this given game was 100% fine before expac and benchmark had zero issues/exceptional rating...somethings up methinks.

struggling with random drop to 25 fps from 60 fps.
tried to rollback to a previous nvidia update and it fixed a bit but still it's nearly unplayable in certain zones.

amd ryzen 7 2700x
16gb ram
nvidia gtx 1060
high on benchmark with no problems before early access

ive gone through this thread and tried everything ive read, with no noticeable improvement

random stutter with loading in/interacting with npcs, but its mostly that im getting bad lag in battle (dungeons/raids/trials in particular) - buttons pressed wont register as pressed for multiple seconds/similarly lag in skills proccing, and npcs/enemies/aoes are freezing and taking seconds to resume, giving me little to no time to react

i came here after trying to run the level 95 dungeon with npcs, and after dying eight times because i couldnt properly fight the final boss with the amount of lag i was having, i quit out of frustration

Hard to say for sure, but this sounds like a connection issue. Most likely a packet loss, but could also simply be latency. Sometimes even the servers can be weird and route you through a laggy "gate". Have you tried checking your ping to google and maybe even FFXIV sites?

same here, tried DDU, changing NCP settings, ingame graphic settings, MSI undervolting, disabled browser hardware acceleration, disabled Microsoft device association root enumerator, disabling nvidia audio, disabling generic monitors,. windowed, full screen mode and even borderless windows, my PC is a week old and still can't play without fps lags... thought at first it would be connected to twitch and youtube but it is on any other program next to ff14 aswell, other games are not affected by this annoying fps lag

sidenote: the GPU 3D is spiking, just a GPU issue for FF14
