that was my idea, get rid of the radeon and if that doesnt work, at least youre not using a radeon

I dont think thats the issue.

yea, that isnt exactly an option, theres gotta be something to fix on the system itself as it exists now due to the fact that it did work before.

1.8ghz celeron, it's a piece of shit, but the game ran fine for 2.5years before it started acting up.

FFXI uses alot of ram also on its own, did these problems come up after changing your game to 2048x2048? (Maybe not suddenly but a little after)

Also 1.8Ghz Celeron would definantly be chocking on area's like Dynamis/Auction house I'd think.. especially at that kinda res.

Also you both run radeon... lets see... have you recently upgraded your video card drivers?

If possible, go to your control panel, and reset your "Direct3D" options to "default", remove any optomization stuff you have for drivers, don't use Omega drivers, Rage3D optimized drivers etc, straight from ATI drivers.

See if that makes any changes.

I've once tried to "optmize" my video, and "one" of the settings with ATI will make FFXI run slow/stutter, I don't remember which its been a long time.

Another option makes FFXI... look like an old TV thats been beat to death making it discolored/lines/snowing/strangeness/slow also... no idea what that setting was either but its definantly something with the Direct3D, setting it to default using normal ATI drivers fixed it for me.

It only does that when stuff is loading in the backround for me... Like if I clicked a link and went back to FFXI while the link was loading and it would do that. If you have firefox and multiple tabs open it'll be laggyish.

I don't think it would be that much of a problem, my drives are waaaaayyy more fragmented and crazy looking, and runs FFXI fine, you should try what I mentioned above about the video card drivers. Actually my drives seem to fragment ... very slowly, I havne't done a defrag since october atleast and none the drives has really fragmented yet O_o

If not uninstall and reinstall ATi drivers and see if that may fix the problem

[Senoska]

Fixed, defragged, changed FFXI Priority, reinstalled video card drivers, and reinstalled direct x. worked great

[Zalius]

but you still have a radeon

[khain]

its caused by windower, that thing really fucks up your system.

still using windower, dont have the problem.

[Gulkeeva]

Think it was most possibly the radeon issue, because I've had something almsot simialr to stuttering due to one the "Direct 3d" options being altered.

And yes I got a radeon too, need replace it... but waiting for PCI 2.0 compatable video card first before I switch (I like to get things that support future upgrades I will do XD)
