New comprehensive FFXIV problem thread

Fishing specific issue:

When fishing, all JIG actions are time sensative, which is fine if they want to retain realism, but with a very small amount of server communication lag it is easy to get to a point were all jigs, especially those after the initial jig, are auto failed, regardless of reaction times.

Solution, would be just to lengthen the time allowed for a player to react. ATM it is only 10 seconds, which is considerably shorter then even the time allowed to DoH to make their crafting choices (even if they do respond late, it's not even close to the same consequence as the fishing critical failure).
BTN/MIN have essentially unlimited time alloted per action, thus creating a major imballance with fishing.

[Cooleko]

Dont rag on BTN/MIN, they actually have to move around instead of fish forever in a river

updating first page to include fishing fails and BRs. Please remember to submit these to FFXIV support page often!

I don't know if this is just me or its happened to anyone else. Its happened 4 or 5 times now though. Every once in a while i will go to check my LS list and when i first click on it my game will crash when it is refreshing. It seems like it does that when the number on the list of Ls's doesn't match up with the number of poeple actually online in the linkshell. Both lists seem to refresh separately and when they don't match it crashed my client.

Thats generally a lag issue when performing Regime with alot of people around. When several groups get close to each other during leve parties, BR lags out and stalls and cant be executed. Other than that I've not had a problem using BR normally.

It seems to be random for me. I was just doing leves with nobody around with 2 others and we tried to do a regimen. Only pulled off one of them out of 4 attempts. Also seems like if you can't do the regimen on the mob on your first try, it'll never happen.

[Corrderio]

Also another I forgot, although it's a bit of a warning really.

The levequest "Necrologos: Thousandfold Agony" seems to have the rank of the inital mobs a lot lower than it should be. Here's a screenshot I took of it one day. If you noticed I have Guardian's Aspect on me and only getting ~12-15 SP a kill for a rank 30 leve.

I've entirely stopped doing that leve because of that. If you bump up the difficulty enough to make the Curious Galagos worth even a decent amount of Skill Points, the Uncommon Cactuars that pop at the end will be a giant pain in the ass... if you even get that far with how annoying it is to go back and forth between the clearing and that cave.

This has happened to me twice. It doesn't just crash the game to the desktop either iirc, it pops up with an in game message saying something about an error has occured. The game is still running but i'm unable to do anything...i had my character on autorun once and it just kept running once the error window popped up. It forced me to hard exit the game.

Is anyone else finding that they're getting the wrong crafting sound effects? I was making fletchings with main hand weaving, but I was getting the bellows sound effect from main hand alchemy. And then when I pulled out my spinning wheel to make yarn off-hand, it made the sound effect of a metal weapon being drawn.

Not exactly a gameplay problem, but very strange.

Actually you're right. When i made the first post i hadn't got the error in a few days so i didn't remember exactly how it went but yeah i just got it again and sure enough i just kept auto running and couldn't do anything to stop it.

[Corrderio]

I haven't had an issue with that, but sometimes my action bar reacts in an odd way where it thinks I'm holding an arrow key down. Anyone have an issue like that before?

Most of the time the cactuars bug and don't attack you after they kill you the first time. This is the leve I referred to weeks ago. I've noticed this bug on the Inferno necro leve in Cassiopeia too. I guess it can happen on all necro leves.

I get this ALL the time..... My keyboard is going out though and the buttons are actually being held down.

[Drako]

when i playing on keyboard i get the bug where pushing arrow down or up doesnt do anything (action bar doesnt change), i have to re-target to get it to work.

[Corrderio]

Sorry for the bump that got one

During the boat ride form Limsa to Horizon's Edge and vice versa the water on the right side of the boat has an odd clipping issue.

I also found glitch with a R40 leve in the Ul'Dah region, however I forgot the name of it. All I remembered was it didn't highlight the area on where the Zombie Pikemen spawned which made them hard to find if you got killed. I'll try to find the name of the leve and report back since I should have it by leve reset, however if my memory is right, it's "Necrologos: All Things Must Die"

EDIT: The issue isn't just that Necrologos, but leves requiring you to examine those light pillars. Since after you examine them all or finish the the objective to cause the rest of the pillars to despawn the map won't highlight where the enemies are that spawn after that.

[Cooleko]

Confirmed the levequest glitch and added it to list, removed one of the problems that was fixed (market wards only searching one ward for the items) (way to go SE).

If you are experiencing graphical artifacts it is usually because of your GPU.

Please continue to post this list of problems to SE so they may consider them in the upcomming patches!

[Corrderio]

I'll wait and see if someone else can confirm the graphic glitch, since right now that's the only place I've seen something like that happen.

[Sephiroth]

Game crashes every now and then when I look at the list of linkshell members.

[Cooleko]

already in the list sephy

[Corrderio]

Had a friend confirm that watch glitch to. However we're both using AMD cards so maybe that's the culprit? If anyone wants to ride the boat to find out be my guess.

Also, this one isn't common but it can happen: Sometimes when a party member teleports the teleport offer won't happen even though it should. However when you teleport yourself then the offer suddenly appears. Like I said I only seen it happen twice so far however since I usually go on foot I can't really say how common it is.

[Cooleko]

coorderio, zoning fixes the teleport problem. dont know why but SE fails at some simple things
