[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

[Bayohne]

Got word back from Yoshida about the changes that they're planning to implement. Like I assumed, there aren't concrete details on what precisely is being done that I care share, but he said that along with the PS3 version development, they are performing optimization work to overall the core engine to make improvements.

Did you mean to say "overhaul"? Or, just that they are making improvements overall?

No, it means that the Engine (not the game) is getting improvements, which affectively improve the Game. (think of it identical to a Car). XIV Team may not even be involved at all in improving that part. We have seen destructible environments in FFvs13 (which was static-animations in FF13) so this is one improvement they've done and no doubt from this they've had to optimize and make the engine better as that is a PS3 game.

I was just confused because his phrase, "they are performing optimization work tooverall the core engine to make improvements" uses the word "overall" mistakenly as a verb, which leads me to think he meant to say "overhaul" instead.

Or, that he did mean to use the word "overall", but put the word in the wrong place in the sentence.

Like I assumed, there aren't concrete details on what precisely is being done that I care share, .

Also did you mean "there aren't concrete details on what precisely is being done that I care TO share"

Or "there aren't concrete details on what precisely is being done that I CAN share"


Thankyou for your continued efforts Bayohne

Lol im sure he'd be eager to share whatever info he had. He just doesn't know exactly whats going on, so he at least told us that there had already been plans to do this along with the PS3 Optimization.

YAYZ!!! hopefully after that I can run the game as well as I "Think" I should be able to
I just removed all the bloat wear from my new pc but I still cant run it as well as I should be able to and in the black shroud when I rains I have a lot of trouble.
anyway can't wait to see this game grow over the years and to be a help fun member of the FFXIV community :3
Keep up the good and steady work SE! I have faith in you guyz that this game will be great

Can we have the original Japanese so we can feed it through Google T̶e̶a̶ ̶L̶e̶a̶v̶e̶s̶ Translate? (Kidding!! )

My reading of Bayohne's tea leaves:

• PS3 work mentioned in present progressive tense. YES!
• They're working on improving graphics performance. YES! (I've noticed mine has gotten a little choppy the last month or so.)
• Optimization means taking something already functioning, looking for bottlenecks, and addressing those issues. It's the opposite of overhaul.
• OTOH, overall is used as a verb, and tired/busy people often substitute homonyms, so I dunno, really. (I'm assuming tired because the rep also messed up with can/care.)
• So, my guess is there are two separate processes going on, one requiring overhaul, one requiring optimizing.
• "that I [can] share" - whether Yoshi-P said "I can't share with [rep]" or Yoshi-P said "the 360/Wii-HD/Mac port is really helping improve the graphics performance, but don't tell the customers", the result is the same: the rep can't say.

Hmm, sounds a bit like the "fix" for UI lag shortly after release. Forgive me if I don't hold my breath over this, one of the most vague of all statements. Only way it could be less specific is if you just said "there are plans to make it better".

Why can't details like that be shared, out of curiosity? It's not an upcoming game feature, it's not a storyline spoiler, it's just an update to the game engine. Why the veil of secrecy over something we won't have the source code for in the first place? If they're just trying to keep it a surprise, don't worry, the only real surprise will come when the game runs smoothly for once and can open/navigate UI menus without a half second delay.

Not going to sit here and argue with you when 349 posts in this topic say otherwise, so please provide proof this game ever worked on PS3 and that the reason we are having so many issues is due to a bad port. Pictures or articles from SE would be nice, as I have not seen any. As far as we all know development was done side by side and SE just has no clue how to optimize for proper PC hardware usage. The data also suggests that the current client uses to much RAM and that is why it does not run on the PS3, other than that we know nothing more about PS3 functionality, especially when most 60GB users already replaced there current HDD for something bigger.

The game was working back in 2010, the only problem was that the game is so resource heavy that the 256MB RAM and 256MB VRAM on the PS3 couldn't hold all of the info needed to keep it running smoothly. Texture quality needs to be compressed down and it will only run at 720p, if not lower.
