Windowed/game lag? edit: USB Devices FIX INSIDE

[Devinry]

Could someone explain how to do this, for those not savvy with windower code?

it's in your init file, just put // in front of "load recast" etc.

Thankya much.

[Dawin]

I can't even get in game at all. Old windower and FFXI fullscreen both give me "Failed to initialize Direct3D" error messages.

It was running 100% smoothly last night =(

I can get in game with the new windower, but can't use my mouse at all, and have about 7 frames per second. My mouse pointer won't go in any direction but up and to the right. I don't know wtf is up with that.

[Churchill]

This is absolute fucking fail shit and has nothing to do with graphics unless your computer was shit before then this windower is like an upgrade; and until Starhawk says we're good to use the old one I can't play FFXI. I get an error from Full Screen because of Vista.

quit o

[Aaros]

Nope, because I haven't touched the resolution and it just sucks, when I turned it on my eyes burned with the brightness.

I think someone said that running in full screen also is laggy? Can anyone confirm that? Maybe is a bug with the rendering engine?

[Xno Kappa]

This damn update already seems to be more problems then what its worth. I'm running at 5fps and my comp is by no means sucky. -_-;

[Lasareth]

Windower, Windowed mode, Fullscreen. All are shit now for me. Before now the worst it was was 5fps, now I can't even hit 1.

Took me 5 minutes to get past the character selection screen.

[Tengaar]

I'm using 3.26 and it works fine like before. Dont enable window mode from ffxi config.

[Matrix]

my comp is good as well and having the same problems, in NON-windwoer, FFXI windower, and real windower.

updating DX and Grfx drivers to see if fixes..

[Damane]

I am lagging bad, with SE-windower, with unofficial windower, with no windower at all

I cannot play at this rate, it is sucking like shit

[Daiiawn]

i have done the following
Run in full screen - laggy as hell
Run in ffxi windowed mode - laggy as hell
Run using unofficial windower (with window mode off in xi config) - laggy as hell
Run using unofficial windower (with window mode off in xi config, and all plugins off) - laggy as hell

Side note, its also lagging my keyboard, so key presses / depresses arnt being picked up

[Suiram]

Title bar is fail. FFXI isn't particularly laggy for me--though I haven't left Whitegate yet--but typing this post right now takes eons unlike with Windower where it seemed to use less resources when alt-tabbed. Also stuff is blurry but I could probably adjust to that.

[Drackonus]

Is it 3.3 or an older version of Windower that still works if you take off preload plugins?

[Zhais]

I'm not lagging at all using new non-SE windower, in windowed mode.

campus connection even



edit: had to take out recast plugin, but otherwise works fine. dunno what everyone else's problems are.

[Zilong]

It seem like unofficial windower retain most its function without any broken plugin

Tested:
LL: work
Tparty: work
Distance: work
windower macros: work
recast: broken

[megido]

Wretched frame rate with windower or without (full screen, not full screen and damn near every resolution).

And 2h nerf. This update gets the thumbs down. I have a very high end pc as well - this is just ridiculous.

[Doc]

I try to load up the unofficial windower and it seems like the official one is loaded (the title of the window is Final Fantasy XI instead of those random strings).

[Gatsby]

My login seems sufficiently faster than normal and besides the text box info looking outta whack, its working decently.

Out of curiosity, have people re-ran the ffxi config (in toolsUS or ToolsEU) folder?

[Damane]

i cant use SE-window and other windowed mode because of lag

and I cant use full window mode because it FFXI fails to initialize Direct3D.

SE made my day

[Builttolast]

Down to single digit FPS here, even on default settings (ps2 graphics ><) My PC isn't that bad, but this seems like software emulation and not hardware which is the core of the problem.

[Akucaen]

Disable AA & AF or set them to application settings. I had mine cranked up from other games and I didn't bother to turn it off since XI was unaffected. My FPS shot up a bit (no visual difference, which I wasn't expecting either to suddenly work), but my keyboard still lags.

Eh.
