New comprehensive FFXIV problem thread

[Sephiroth]

I had a weird bug last night. After I died my HP was still showing as half what it should be after weakness wore off. It was only on my screen however. I'd take damage but my HP would stay full because the damage hadn't taken me under half HP. Dying again fixed it but apparently changing class fixes it too.

[Corrderio]

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

Zoning or Teleport, whatever you do to give you a "now loading" screen, however since it wasn't on the OP thought I'd post it here.

It's more than likely crappy server coding and when Yoshi-P starts to fix that the issue will correct itself.

[-Ant-]

Not sure if this is necessarily on my end or not, but

Ever since the Feb. update, my game disconnects every 2-3 hours. It is very annoying, and everything BUT FFXIV seems to work fine so I have no idea.

Perhaps they changed something with how XIV connects, but still very annoying since I lose interest to play after it happens.

[Cooleko]

No one in my ls has a problem with disconnects, but if you check the tech thread a lot of people are having problems. Check there for some solutions as well.

This might not belong here.

I had a weird graphic issue this morning. I tele'd to a crystal, and when my character re-loaded the facial hair was, well, a lot thicker. I actually hoped it was a permanent change, but of course, within two minutes I was disconnected from the game... right after I started a leve & had aspect. When I logged back in, my character's face was back to its normal facial hair, the few LS mates on got a good laugh out of the story, and it turns out I did not have Fraps loaded, so when I thought I was snapping screen shots, I was not getting any picture proof.

Another bug I've noticed is items won't stack when they can.

For example lets say I had a full stack of copper nuggets and another stack at something like 10/99. If I use up 10+ nuggets crafting, transferring them to a retainer, or selling them from the 99/99 stack the 10/99 stack won't merge into the other even though it could.

I had that happen with distilled water. I had a stack of 8 and a stack of 6 and try as I might, I couldn't get them to merge together. Neither were +1s or anything, just... made at different times that week - a few right before they fixed them all to be 99/99, and the other 6 afterwards. (after the 99 was added, they wouldn't merge, so I just had to use them up, haven't had the problem since)

[Cooleko]

the way to fix this is to either bazaar one of the stacks then unbazaar, or transfer it to retainer and back

[Telliani]

I did that. A few times.

They refused to stack what so ever. This was back when they changed all the stacks to 99/99, I've used them since and haven't had the problem, but it sounds like Corrderio had the same issue and I remembered it.

I dunno if this has been posted here but i mentioned it in random complaint thread. With chat keyboard enabled and using a gamepad, it's impossible to initiate battle regimen after stacking commands. Unless i'm doing it wrong? There is no controller button to initiate it, and if you hit G on the keyboard it just pulls up the chat log text entry. Even after changing the keyboard command to something other than a text key it does not seem to work. So you just have to wait for someone else to initiate it, which sucks if you try to stack right after one has been initiated and it goes off without you. Then you're stuck there by yourself until someone else starts another regimen and initiates it for you.

[Grey Jorildyn]

emote list buttons is the same as initiate battle reg and i think main menu allows you to fire regimens. Give that a shot, it's how I do them on pad.

[Cooleko]

Riv, let us know if that takes care of the problem

[Rivian]

The emote list button lets you stack commands, but it does not let you initiate the regimen. I haven't tried anything in the main menu, i didn't know it was possible to open the main menu while engaged. I'll try later today.

[Grey Jorildyn]

No, the main menu doesn't open when engaged and in BR. That button is shared with the close BR function when you are participating in a BR.

For default setting it's triangle on command to throw it in stack and square to fire the BR.

The graphic glitch happened again for me last night, got screen shots, although this time I just used the in-game function, and hitting Print Screen made my character revert back to normal:

Also, I don't think this got mentioned in this thread, but I mentioned it months ago and no one else said anything about it, but on LNC I can not use the text command to set the guildmark ability Pierce. I have not tried to replicate since the last patch, but none of these are able to set Pierce:

/eaction 2 Pierce

/eaction 2 "Pierce"

And the auto-translate version does not work either.

[Cooleko]

hmm, it is also true that there is no command to unequip abilities.
have you tried using the second bar? see http://ffxiv.zam.com/forum.html?foru...401&howmany=50
I'll add that there are oustanding problems with equiping and unequiping abilities/traits using text commands.

[Cooleko]

Since most of what we post here goes in the the feedback/suggestion box in the first link of the OP, I am not going to add graphical glitches that only specific people have to the list.

SE has a spot in their bug submition for these types of reports and if you want SE to fix the problem you need to let them know your OS, hardware configuration, driver versions, location in game, direction facing, etc so they can accurately reproduce and address the problem. The bug submission forum is much more complicated than copy/paste of the OP into the feedback section so I encourage you to make the submission for these types of bugs where they can get addressed.

The link to bug submissions is in the OP (see second link)

[madcow]

Not sure if these have been reported. I didn't see them on the main page. If so please feel free to delete this post.

Carpenter ability "Perfection". (Says guaranteed success on next synth): Sometimes I use this move fail the next synth. I am not including times when the chat log says: "Your Perfection has no effect" These are times when the ability porcs and yet I still fail the next action.

Leatherworking Ability "Clean Slate" (Restart the synth from 0 progress while keeping quality gain and durability loss): Many Many times I will get the success animation yet the progress bar stays where it is. In these instances the chat log will also say "Your clean slate succeeds!" So, even when it proc's...nothing happens. Basically a waste of 6 AP as it seems to fail 40% of the time legit, it "fake procs" 35% of the time, and only actually does what it says 25% of the time.

Again, sorry if these are redundant.

[Rivian]

It does work

[Cooleko]

Not cool Riv, please be more specific or helpful when commenting on feedback so I can put accurate problems in the OP.
