. is my character, man I took a 5 star quest from the get go and these bats are hammering me.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

In the beta as Nadataru Wadataru (formerly Khiqshi for the Fairy FFXI players out there).

So, in terms of framerate, does anyone have any tips for improving it? If I stand still for awhile and just wave the camera around it's mostly okay, but i drop to like 1 frame per second if I move around whatsoever. The game doesn't seem very configurable in terms of graphics settings, even in the config program.

I can play WoW on mostly full settings without a problem. I know this game's alot more demanding graphicswise, but the unplayable framerates I'm getting here are pretty ridiculous.

 

[Coldsnap]

can you activate more than one quest at the crystal?

Make sure you turn off Ambient Occlusion. I can barely tell what it did but that was causing the biggest hit for me.

If that still doesn't help enough, turn off Depth of Field, turn down shadows to standard, buffering to half-size, or turn down your sampling.

You can activate up to 4 levequests at each camp, I think.

So what exactly do I need to download to be ready to play once I do get a Beta account?

give me your gt5 avatar!

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Let's give everyone a few minutes to get settled and then we can do Treasures of the Main together.

Shoot me a /tell in-game (/tell Zhaan Lovecraft blahblahblah) if you have any questions.

 

[Jinko]

Am currently in the small cave at 31, 25

 

[Metalmurphy]

give me your gt5 avatar!

Only if I can have it back later

 

[Coldsnap]

I first need to finish a quest or two so i can buy a weapon, i started as a lumberjack so I can only throw rocks atm.

 

[Wes]

Ok where are the video settings so I can turn this beast down a bunch of notches :lol

Start menu >> ffxiv config

 

[Wes]

Ta muchly kind sir.

 

[Wes]

Either the lag is horrendous or my computer can definitely not handle this. I'm guessing the latter.

Did you turn off Ambient Occlusion? that's the big killer.

 

[Kuraine]

I'll see if I can get on Shadowlord when I get home, as I only played about 1 hour this morning. I definitely think my performance was hindered by all the lag and players moving about since I was on one of the higher-pop servers.

Also-to-come will be obligatory boat-scene avatar :lol

 

[Wes]

Everything to low. Was getting movement delay and dodgy framerate.

Oh well was worth a shot.

 

[Coldsnap]

anyone know where you can buy a great axe to become a marauder? I've been looking for like 30mins.

i'm guessing it's in the marauders guild....

You won't find anything there but a bunch of swaggers, rat men and a dude play his harp.


Edit: Good to see GAFers getting together for group. Would love to hear impressions. Though...who's going to heal? What is the healing class anyway?

 

[Londa]

I don't even know which server I'm on but I'm taking a break to make the all over my face avatar that is catching on in here lol

I'm so not changing my avatar for the O face. :lol

 

[Coldsnap]

dangit, well where do i buy an axe?

 

[Salaadin]

So what exactly do I need to download to be ready to play once I do get a Beta account?

I was just coming to post this. Can I download the beta now so that if I get in, itll make it much easier? Or does SE update it every phase so much that you need to start from scratch every few weeks?

 

[Palmer_v1]

Am I missing something? Where are all these options located?

Edit: NM, posted above.

Updates are not based on your login. You should get the setup file in the OP and start your download there overnight.

Well there is a post like two pages back that had a link to http://awk.cenobyte.org/ffxiv/

From there I downloaded the main .exe, installed that, got the first patch, and I'm currently downloading the newer patch. I'm guessing once that patch is downloaded I'd be ready to play (if I had access Q_Q)

 

[HappyBivouac]

You guys sure it's safe to post character names here?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I dunno, but come up to the pub and meet with us, we're gonna complete Treasures of the Main.

BG is posting a public list, so I guess we'll all find out. :lol

So FFXIVsetup is all I need? Dont worry about patches now because its always being patched?

 

[Coldsnap]

ok invite me. I am a level 6 botinist though so all i can do is throw rocks

Damn it i've hit everywhere but Shadowlord.

Kefka, Gabranth, Sephiroth, Ultimecia, etc.

Does Shadowlord have a login queue now?

Also if its a radeon card, ATI cards are having problems with the beta.

 

[HappyBivouac]

Well I'm on Ultimecia. Hit me up on aim (ukiki28) or msn (happybivouac@gmail.com) if you want to get something going in game.

 

[Palmer_v1]

Not sure what server it just put me on, but i'm 602 in a queue

 

[HappyBivouac]

Anyone else getting

13001 The lobby server has encountered an error.
Error Code: 5003
Status: -501

?

I started the client up a few hours ago and waited, if that might have anything to do with it. Was there a small update in between periods?

 

[Palmer_v1]

Here's my O face. Can someone change it to avatar size for me?

 

[notworksafe]

 

[Chris R]

Downloaded the patch, now where do I put it so the downloaded will see it is already downloaded???

nevermind, I found it Now the wait begins!

 

[Palmer_v1]

Thanks!

Edit: Now someone needs to photoshop all of our O faces into one big pic for fun.

 

[Metalmurphy]

I'm about to log in again. Where all the gaffers at?

 

[mcdomination]

Has anyone with a 64-bit OS got the ffxivsetup.exe to work from http://awk.cenobyte.org/ffxiv/?

I am trying to run it on Win7 x64, but it keeps barking at me about the OS version...

I'm really hoping that this is just the 32-bit .exe file....

 

[Teknoman]

This sucks, I still keep getting kefka.

 

[chris-013]

The game is really better with a gamepad... it's sad for the xbox360 version and the late ps3 version. ^^;

Edit : Marauder hits hard, 90 with the second skill they learn. :lol

 

[Metalmurphy]

This sucks, I still keep getting kefka.

Are you using different names every time you see the memory? Cause if you use the same one the previous tries stay on memory and you'll just keep running into them.
