Windowed/game lag? edit: USB Devices FIX INSIDE

[Sera]

interesting the mention of brandson's interface. I do indeed have that installed and its lagging for me. I'm going to do the check files thing to force it to re-download the original files and see what happens.

Hmm, I DO have brandson's UI installed, btw...

if thats it I'll be so lol

let us know how it goes.

[Epical]

Brandson's UI is overwritten every verup, his files aren't there anymore (perhaps chat log skins are).

[Khrno]

I had some dat changes before, but i forced update with a CheckFile, so all my changes are gone, including moded maps and stuff. So that shouldn't be an issue.

I have no brandons interface.

[Lasareth]

I never installed the UI interface.

For the people that are getting shitty FPS for anything they load it up on, did you guys change dats in game?

And for people that have it working fine, did you by any chance change dats?

No problems and I have a lot of DATs modded, Brandon's UI got reset to standard one for me, but window background

[Ike]

My FFXI won't even open all the way. I can get through POL and even to character selection, and the screen where it talks to the lobby server...

but when I get to the screen after ***Downloading Data*** where your chat bar pops up and the screen is black, right before /smes, it pops up an error box and closes.

This happens with windowers 3.3, 3.24, 3.25, 3.26, WindowerLite, SE Windowed mode and regular fullscreen FFXI with no windowed mode or windowers. I am running (sadly) on Windows Vista Home Premium (because thats what came with my Dell laptop.)

Any suggestions? I've rebooted, filechecked, disabled plugins... etc

Thats exactly whats happening me, and I have no clue what to do...

yeah, but i reinstalled it like i normally do, its hard for me to read the standard font, so i always change it immediately

ill change it back now, and see how it goes

I've never recalled a version of Brandson's stuff that has worked post-verup. It'll just be broken.

0 dat chances - 0 extras >:3 Just ussed windower for my huge macro's 3fps ~ Dual Core 3.2 GHZ, 2 GigoRam, 7200RPM Main drive, Only thing thats outa date is my 128MB Radeon 9800Pro

[arshesney]

THere should be an option in Windows Task Manager where you can force a process to run using a single core... I never had a dual-core system, but I recall reading something like that, might be worth googling for it.

[tessy cat]

I initially tried SE's Windowed Mode assuming Windower was broken. Bad Gamma, slow to load, felt kinda glitchy tabbing through different windows. Pretty much decided then no playing for me until Windower was running again.

After I saw reports that it -was- working, I went and // all autoloading plugins, went to FFXI config and switched back out of Windowed mode, and the game loaded up fine. I also have Brandson's UI. I don't know about the status icons, but most of it's broken. Wasn't and never really pay attention to FPS, but I ran around Whitegate, Moghouse, Bastok, etc. using Windower (no plugins) without any noticeable difference compared to pre-update. Also I have a lot of stuffed .dat modded or switched around, and everything appeared to be working fine. No game crashing or anything.

If it makes any difference: Windows XP, Core 2 Duo, and Nvidia GeForce 8600.

[Sera]

changed font/UI back to original pack, still not working.

ok so now we know it's not the dats. SE needs to fix this issue. Prolly do an emergency maint sometime tomorrow. lol

i dont have dual core either. can't be the dual core.

[Epical]

Confirmed:

- Not dual core.
- Not Brandson/dat mods.
- Not reg edits.
- Not ATI/Nvidia.

Hopefully the list will continue to grow so we can isolate the issue (if WE can).

This is like Saw 2 where we have to find why we were all brought here, by some common bond.
We all have different PCs and different .Dat changes, but something holds us together.

Time is running out.

Wanna play a game?

[Sera]

tbh i think its vista in my case, it crashes even when i am in old school fullscreen "alt tab because this party sucks" mode... and now i have no UI mods at all... to the other person with my problem, are you using vista? if so which one?

Yes, FFXI.

[Azuke]

Neither of the 3 modes work, tried going back to PS2 graphics and my FPS didn't even move, stuck @ 5.6~ish.

Too lazy to type out what I'm playing on, so just copy-pasted from IRC:

os: Windows XP Professional, SP2 :: cpu: Intel Core2 6400 2.13GHz (at 2800 MHz) :: mem: 582/2047 MB (28%) :: gfx: nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS (1680x1050x32bit 60Hz)

No DAT's swapped or anything like that.

Yes, FFXI.

i hear ya ; ;
