[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

[Elkwood]

yes please................ anything......something...........maybe a "its happening" or a "where working on it" would suffice.

Actually no we got the were working on it already i want something more concrete as this is something many consider to be a major relevant issue.

[Kurokikaze]

Agreed. I want something along the lines of "We've decided that we're going to go ahead and implement DX10 and 11 support for the game. But please understand that this takes time blah blah blah."

You won't see anything from devs until at least the end of the week. It's golden week over there.

[Kurokikaze]

Yeah. But we won't see anything on THIS matter from the devs for a long time.

This and moving the UI/inventory/processing over to the client are the two biggest things that will help with performance/lag.

The issue with the UI isn't as bad as most ppl think, the UI isn't as much serverside as ppl think it is.

But the Devs need to get on here and comment for us because I know of quite a few ppl getting sick of how poor this game is performing on multiple levels.

[Kurokikaze]

While the client-side UI will help, I agree that it'll only help to a certain point as long as the server-side confirmations are still there for every single action/selection.

Theres almost 8 confirmations when trying to teleport somewhere... Thats fucking absurd.

*press triangle*
Can I open the menu?
Yes.
*Select teleport*
Can I open this menu?

etc etc.

The only real confirmation that is needed is:

CAN I FUCKING PORT TO THIS LOCATION!?

Bumping due to lack of Developer Update

umm you sir are full of it Asus laptops naturally run hot, so unless you made some massive modifications I dont see how this is physically possible. Especially when every tech forum tells you from the get go on a Asus laptop crack it open and replace the horrid GPU paste they install on the systems. Please post some pictures of MSI afterburner video card specs etc. I would bet you that your video card is running 73C in game when playing XIV.

As someone who owns a G73 (well, owned) and played FFXIV on it, I'd say that 73C is pretty lowball. I could regularly hit 90C+ when playing FFXIV on it.

Hey everyone,

What everyone's saying about FFXIV currently being a large burden on the PC is something we've been seeing on our end as well. We brought this up with the development team and hope to have a comment from them soon.

is there a comment coming soon? ... just asking

They should just code it like most other games that the gpu never gets the 99%/100% usage, rather stop at 97 or 98% that usually gives you -10degrees or better and the fps is the same. Games who use my gpu to the "capped" 97% all the time dont get even close as hot, some are like 20 degrees cooler even. Its the coding or something (im no programmer but should be fixable).
I would also rather see at least an option to limit fps below the 60, if that is done right the mmo would be playable and still look smooth, getting fps between 40 and 60 causes much more feeling of none-smooth gameplay.
