    GM's closing threads?

    Hey there,

    I'm very curious and concerned about GM's constantly closing technical problem threads.

    Does anyone know why they instantly close the thread?

    I was thinking they close those threads to keep the forums clean, but by closing those threads they're completely cutting off people that could have a solution from helping. Since we have no private message system in the forums or Lodestone, I really don't see how people could contact a user to help them with their problems.

    Anyhow, if anyone could possibly help me with a graphics glitch here are a couple links explaining the problem:

    http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...e=179122&ref=1 <-- Lodestone Blog with pictures

    http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Graphic-Glitch <-- Forum post with my computer specs

    If anyone could help, I would sincerely appreciate any advice.

    Thanks so much,
    ~L.A.

    It's the resized spells. Theyre supposed to look like that now.

    They're supposed to have huge white blocks? O.o

    I don't think so... I've only noticed this when I'm far away. Once I get close up I see the effects just fine. I don't believe those huge white blocks are supposed to be there. >.>;

    Your ATI 5850 is better than mine and you run on much lower settings than me.

    I run on
    Windowed 1680x1050,
    Multisampling 8xMSAA,
    General Drawing Quality 8 (Standard),
    Background Drawing Quality 5,
    Shadow Detail Highest,
    Texture Quality High,
    Texture Filtering Highest.

    Have you tried yanking up the graphics to see? Do you have DoF turned off?

    Yes I have DoF turned off, and when I attempted to run on higher settings I noticed a significant reduction in quality and FPS. I'll go try that now, thanks so much Premium Virtue for bring up this point!

    They don't delete them, they move them to the proper forum. I would reccomend reposting your problem here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/135

    Delete and closing are different. I'm not saying they delete the threads, I'm saying they close them which I do not understand as it is cutting off other players that may have potentially helpful advice. ^^

    I dont think it has anything to do with changing settings, I have had these blocks appear on the lowest settings, and the highest settings possible. The only time I ever notice it happening is when my graphics card is starting to heat up and I have left the game on for an extended period of time.

    From the GM/Moderator that replied to your thread:

    Hey there LittleArrow!

    Sorry to hear you've been having that problem since Beta. We appreciate you contacting us back so quickly with a response. Since you've taken several steps to ensure it's not the graphic card, we'll gladly forward the concern to be looked into. If there are any updates on the matter, it will be posted within the forum. Thanks for posting!
    They closed it because it was brought to their attention, they've acknowledged it, and are forwarding the problem on to whoever in SE might deal with that.

    As they said, if/when there's a solution, they'll post about it. Those forums aren't meant for discussion really, so they need to keep threads locked once acknowledged so that new threads coming in don't get overlapped by old & already acknowledged threads bumping up due to discussion.

    I can understand that. Thanks for your point. I still don't agree with them closing a thread, but nothing I can do about that ^^
