ENB Injector for FFXIV (wip)

[Sweeet]

Since we got a dev post on this I might as well ask about this too: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...atencyFix.html

This is supposedly a program that can help with the latency issues people are having, albeit not something that works for everyone is this even allowed? I am not very computer savvy so it would be nice to get a rep response on it simply because I'd love to try it if it is allowed.

I've done many tests making the change in the registry whilst monitoring my latency through the performance monitor, and I've come to discover that this "fix" is actually detriment to the game. My latency is always a good 20ms higher on average when using the "fix", and that's not to mention all the other detrimental affects it is having on your system.

Those features were put into Windows by people far far smarter who know more about networking than any of us. It is there for a reason and personally, I don't think you should touch it no matter what the circumstance. But again I can confirm it does not help FFXIV in the slightest, so please don't do it.

This just turns the nagle algorithm off, which results in packets being sent less than 200ms apart, ultimately it's -not supposed to- fix anything if the developer already turned nagle off. The TCP offload engine may result in neutering said fix anyway or making it worse, in your case. This fix gets thrown about more often in Action based games (eg Mabinogi, Wizardy Online, various FPS games) because these games have really bad network code to begin with. Ultimately it's perceived as cheating in these games because you end up with sub 200ms firing rates, which means the difference of Han shot first.

Now I want to see a guide of how to put this thing into place. >.> Someone go do it.

Well this was an obvious an expected response!

Anyroad, now I wait until the OP gives us a link to the injector/his settings, etc. Would certainly like to give it a try and see if I like it...

Same, Ive been using SweetFX for a while so Id like to compare them.

This is spectacular work! I love the direction you're taking the ENB tool for this particular use case. I very much look forward to seeing it released now that SE's given you the OK on it.

1st off tho, before people wonder if this is against any TOS or w/e, Its not. It does nothing to any game files. It is a 3d graphic modification for games like TES Skyrim, GTA 4, GTA San Andreas, Deus Ex HR, FSX, and many others. It works by modifying render function calls of the game and applying additional effects.Currently if you just slap the ENBseries into the game, all sorts of uggeh happens, like EXTREME blooms that makes carbies look like a 10,000w light bulb. Props to http://www.enbdev.com/ for makin ENBseries.



As seeing these damn forums only allow a limited number of posts per day, I will update the post below to answer questions asked.

ok this looks pretty boss, I'm gonna try this out when I get home.

Was the method ever posted? I want some antialiasing!

From what the dev has posted, this one feels safe to infer that all non-gameplay affecting addons are permissible by the TOS.

Edit: As other have said anyone got a quick step by step explanation on how to set this up?
