Got a new computer Intel Core 2 quad CPU @ 2.4ghz. It has a 8500 GT geforce. (I know it's not the best, but it should run FFXI smoothly.) Runs Vista, didn't have any problem getting FFXI or windower to work. Whenever I start up FFXI though, I'm having serious lag issues. Drops to 20 FPS as soon as anything mobile apears on screen, and did a Fafnir a few nights ago on 3 fps. (Which is when I decided playing this way was a bad idea, which brings us here, because I still have no idea how to fix it.)
I tried installing newer video drivers, older video drivers, hotfixes, and today I'm planning on installing XP. (Also contacted SE support but other then recommending other video drivers that didn't work either, I got nothing.) This message is basically a cry for help to anyone with similar problems. Any tips, clues, or similar stories and ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
