I often get a long pause (black screen) at startup since DT. Also when closing the game. So far, no overheating. Just stuttering and freezes, and latency in alliance raids are the biggest issues for me. Been playing with the graphics settings, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I hope they fix this soon. It all subtracts from the enjoyment of the game.

The game still hangs on a black screen (before the Square Enix logo) at start up.
Would be nice if this was addressed. 93 gigs of files is not a tiddly amount of download to be trying to fix this via the launcher. Already did that before 7.01.
Everything else has resolved (at least for now).
One thing I have noticed; when I had my settings for full screen, the game loaded in borderless windowed mode. When I changed it to borderless windowed mode, it now opens in full screen. Go figure! /shrug
