Enter message:	[quote][i]Quote from: derelict[/i] Experiencing a problem with FFXI's play speed, on occasion getting down to 4 or 5 FPS. This is most common when AoE spells (particularly bard songs) are being cast, which nearly causes graphical gameplay to stop completely for a moment. While anywhere even slightly busy in terms of rendering, it tends to hover around 19 FPS. So basically, serious graphical lag issues. I've tried everything I can think of, and every setting in FFXI's config, and nothing seems to eliminate the problem, although turning the settings to super ugly helps a bit. The other problem is, this didn't always happen, it's either been since an update or since I've went thru some newer hardware. Used to run the game with AF and AA on. Specs will be below, and please don't reply with "hey, try this to see if it'll work" statements; rest assured I'm not computer stupid, im just out of all the options I know, barring hardware incompatibility that isnt listed in any FAQ that comes with the game. My buddy's computer is about half as good as mine, yet his runs the game flawlessly. You can imagine how irritating that is. I'm either trying to narrow it down to a piece of hardware or some hidden driver issue, so I'd like to hear from people that have strong systems, but still experience similar issues. Hardware = Gigabyte 8I915P Duo-A (915P intel chipset) 2gigs DDR2 ram Pentium 4 (prescott) 3.0ghz WD 80gb HDD, 8megs cache Nvidia 6600GT (used to be OC'ed but this didnt help either) SB Audigy soundcard (this thing is questionable, driver-wise, but it was part of the setup back when the game ran fine, too) Once again, the game didnt always run bad, just apparently decided to run like crap one day, and never stopped since. I've tried newest drivers, oldest drivers, and almost everything inbetween, i've reinstalled windows to rollback directX to an earlier version, tried all manner of hardware OC and settings tweaking, nothing works. There's no sense in being able to run half life 2 on highest detail with AA and AF on smoothly, and then not being able to run a game with almost less processing requirements than Postal 2. I can even run Oblivion smoothly on its "nice" settings, so long as i dont push it. Anyone that's had this issue and managed to clear it up, or knows someone who did, and how they did it, please reply.[/quote]
