Xbar sluggish response

[Yugl]

Anyone experiencing problems with Xbar changing during battle? When I test R1 alone, the Xbar is fine. During battle, however, sometimes the Xbar doesn't respond.

The UI in general feels sluggish to me. I had to lower my resolution to do titan today :/

Yup, already classified as a severe issue. There's stutter when you press r1 to switch sets/change target while in the middle of a action. It affects both GDC and non GDC actions.

Ugh this is annoying, throwing off all the muscle memory. Gotta double tap R1 to make sure it switches now then I forget where the god damn abilities are. I hope they fix this quickly.

It's gotta be a driver compatibility issue. My Razer Sabertooth works like a charm just as always. What controllers do you guys use?

We’ve determined the cause of this issue and I would like to give you a breakdown of the situation.

The Change Causing this Issue

Directly after executing an action set to the directional buttons on the cross hotbar, if you release the hold on the L2 and R2 buttons and are still pressing the directional buttons, it acts as an anchor. Please fix this.
In order to address the above, we added a process that would disable button input for a set frame right after releasing the L2 and R2 buttons. The L1 and R1 buttons were also included in this, which is creating a delay when switching due to the disable input period.

Method to Fix the Issue
We’ll be reverting the above change back to the 2.15 functionality.
This is the quickly method to address this issue.

Hotfix Schedule
I’ll be confirming with the programmers and the QA team for when the fix can take place.


I apologize for the inconvenience, and once we’ve decided on the Hotfix schedule I will be sure to make an announcement.

Dear god I hope it's soon. I tried playing SCH and WHM tonight and it's nigh impossible with my playstyle. Even the party list functions are sticking. Fucking infuriating! I felt like I was lagging the entire time when I know I'm not.

Guess I'm crafting or something for a bit lol.

Yes, very annoying, it even happens when I cast return, sometimes I cancel it on the confirmation screen because the cursor doesn't move right away D:

I noticed it when trying to quickly change targets. For example, I'll be holding R2 + X to do a WS, then try to quickly tab over to the next target so I can attack it, but I wont actually tab over because of that frozen frame after releasing R2.

Was helping the FC get people through Garuda ex last night...accidentally released Garuda-Egi 3 times...plz fix.

I persdonaly think they need to review the whole controller system because it was horrendous even before that.

[NA] FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Hotfixes (Feb. 21)

The following issues have been addressed:

- An issue in “The Binding Coil of Bahamut – Turn 2” wherein the ADS’s usage interval of its AoE attack “Object 199” is too short.
- An issue in “The Binding Coil of Bahamut – Turn 5” wherein if Twintania is unable to attack its main target, it will attack the target next highest in enmity.
- An issue wherein the cross hotbar may not switch over smoothly.

Care to explain? Outside of L1 being wasted on auto-run and target filters (and could have served for a larger skillbar but PS3limitations), I have no qualms with it.
