At 1920x1200 windowed fullscreen on nearly-max-settings using native AA I easily get 60FPS while running dual monitors unless I'm in a crowd (then I drop to about 30, but it's a smooth 30 not a chuggy 30). Instances, party combat, soloing, all 60FPS easily. Aetheryte hubs/town crowds, FATEs, yeah, I drop to like 30. 4GB 670GTX. The max-res shadows are a killer in crowds, I've noticed--setting them to mid res is a big FPS boost in crowds, but I leave them on max since the FPS drop in crowds isn't bad and I like the sharp shadows. Even in crowds ARR is nothing like TERA bad lol.

I have a 660 and I also get 60 FPS regularly. I only really go down when in a heavily populated town or FATE.
My point was that 1.0 numbers + 2.0 preorders = the number of users they should have been prepared for.
The issues with ARR have existed since early access. Early access was available only to preorders and Legacy (and whoever did the Amazon cancel thing). They started talking about how they didnt anticipate this many people last Monday, a day before the game officially launched. So it sounds like there was a sizable amount of people who preordered.
After official launch, things just went downhill even more.
Same setup, 2GB 670 OC. Same thing happens. Smooth 60FPS except on towns with lots of people. Question... does turning off that "Render everything offscreen" option up some frames? I have it enabled but I don't see anything beneficial to it.

Hey omlet, I'm thinking of buying a new PC but here's my situation: I'm a legacy member and got the game for free through the client. How can I get the game again on a new computer? Is there an option to download the client for free somewhere? As in like, an option that I'm not seeing on my SE account page or something?
I think most people understand / understood that before the maintenance even. The problem is they have introduced new problems. Also, this has been going on for a week already, so waiting two more days to complain isn't really fair to expect when people have already waited so long.
We have officially eclipsed even Sim City for worst launch of at least my memory. Diablo 3 gets a bad rap, but that was working after two days. This is just getting to be ludicrous.

actually every single time the client start downloading the patch as if I didn't download anything before, it always start off as 0 MB / 1027.31 MB
then at 476ish MB I got that error that it couldn't update the patch files
ugh, sorry that really sucks. Hopefully someone has a better suggestion!

Was getting 1017 for a good hour before I managed to log in.... For about 5 minutes then I got 90000'd. Now I'm just getting 3102 over and over. Looks like I giving up for today. I hope they sort these issues out soon, it's so much fun when it actually works.

Great just great
Log in -> 5 minutes -> error 90k -> error 3102
Also maximun number of concurrent users in each world is 7,5k-7,8k, for now.

So... When are people allowed to complain? Weren't allowed to complain during the stress test; weren't allowed to complain during launch week and we're not allowed to complain after maintenance or server updates? Are we allowed to after the first major patch? Or does it have to be after the first expansion?
This is going to sound a little patronizing, and I assure you I don't mean it that way, but have you checked the amount of free space you have? I have run into problems like this because of lack of space before.actually every single time the client start downloading the patch as if I didn't download anything before, it always start off as 0 MB / 1027.31 MB

Hate to say it, but that sounds like a HD error.

We'll just see how it plays out. I'll find out for myself tonight when I login and try to play after I get off work. But then again like I said I'm on a different server than most of you
I don't think it helps FPS as much as it reduces memory usage? I wasn't able to tell any performance difference with it on or off really.
Toning down shadow settings from max can give a huge performance boost from what I messed with (I edited my post above). So will turning off AA but who wants to do that.
Download the launcher on your new PC. When you log in and it sees you have the PC version registered to your account, it will DL the game.
Yes, I have found that setting to be a large boost in FPS (occlusion culling right?). Without noticing any visual difference really.

It took me 1 try to get in, the problem is that now you aren't safe when logging in like before.
Okay, logged in quickly to see how much of a hassle it'd be, and it was fairly painless.
Not surprised 3102's rearing its head again. If I remember correctly, during EA, that was caused by a piece of hardware not being set-up correctly. It's probably something they can fix with an hours maintenance, it's just a matter of, when they decide to do it and all. Hopefully they do it sooner rather then later, seeing as I want to play tonight.

You're probably right, it might have a bit to do with SLI scaling.
Hopefully I can see some better performance in the next Nvidia Driver. That's usually the case with this GTX 590, as I've found. Last time I ever buy a dual-GPU card, that was a huge mistake.

From this reddit thread: https://pay.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1kvan0/fix_for_unable_to_update_patch_files_ie/
For whatever reason, FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn has turned read only, preventing the patcher from making changes. To fix:
1. Right click your FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn folder
2. Click properties and untick Read-only.
3. Click apply and then OK.
Simple as that!

Thanks - where can I download the launcher? Got a link?

I'm assuming they still haven't released patch notes?
Yeah man, prime time 8am on a Wednesday morning, no one should expect to log in!
Not really looking forward to another weekend of 1017s

When you do the level 10 story quest you unlock the Armory. This lets you switch classes. Gathering and Crafting are full classes like the combat ones, so you have to go to their guild and join up.
Depending on your starting city, you'll have to unlock the Airship to travel before you can even get to some of the guilds to join.

Just tested again, and still no problem. I wonder what the deal is. That time I didn't get a queue or anything, it just logged right in.

Lodestone is fulling up with reports of 3102 errors.
Looks like it's as bad as it was last time.

Is there some kind of more direct way of doing quests? WoW/GW2/Tera style? Feels like I'm running around too much having no idea where everything is.
Because only NA play this game and EU?Australia/etc do not exist I guess. It's like people are oblivious of the rest of the world.
This does not excuse these issues, but because of how the servers are setup there is a constant amount of players on/trying to get on (it is appoaching 5pm in some places around europe I think).
Well, there is a recommendations window which should give you info about things around your level.
Is there any way to maintain a locked 60fps even in towns, fates, etc (in congested areas)? I've tried lowering the settings to minimum, but I still get drops no matter what. The framedrops are killing it for me. I may just lock it to 30 to have a smoother experience. My setup is:
gtx 680 (320,49 driver)
i7 3820 @ 4.3
16gb ram

Standard quests are the exact same as those games... you see the icons for them right on the map. Not sure what else you are looking for.
Anyone of interest to talk to has an icon over their head, which also appears on the map.

Well, new error (3102) same old shit. Kind of fed up I can't play the game a week later.
I got mine from the beta forums in phase 4 so I'm not sure what the link is but I assume you can find it on the official site. My sister said she got it from there since she was in the same situation as you.
