    Stutter in FFXI

    Just got a new PC, nothing special, can't afford a lot right now, but I got FFXI installed finally, but I'm getting a hiccup every 2seconds in FFXI, FPS stays 20+ everything just stops for a breif second then goes again. I dont even have to log in to see it, once I get to character select the background stutters the same. Actually I can see it at the "Play" screen with the banner across the bottom, it's pausing as well. Herm.

    System stuff:
    Vista 32 Bit
    Nvidia GeForce 8500GT
    3 Gig Ram
    AMD 9500 Quad Core

    I've read the stickies and all the Nvidia threads, but nothing helps =(

    What I've tried:
    2 Diff drivers the .17 and the .74 ones
    Disabling some HID devices.
    Disabling Windows Search
    Uninstalling Norton crap that came on here.
    Turning off Windows Firewall.
    Unplugging Mouse and Gamepad.
    Running Fullscreen, with and without windower.
    Port forwarding on my router.
    Setting affinity to run on one core.
    Probably some other things that I'm forgetting.

    Any help would be appreciated, this is stupid.

    I had the same problem with mine a while back--it went into remission after I got to the dorms, and then came back when I went home. You're not on a wireless connection by any chance, are you?

    Yes, wireless, using an USB card.

    Re: Stutter in FFXI

    I fixed this, this morning!!!

    I managed to stumble across some random Nvidia thread where a guy disabled some options on his network connection, too bad no one really listened to him, because he figured out the problem.

    I went into network connection properties and disabled "QoS Packet Scheduler". Now I'm running on max settings with no issue at all. Please try this if you are having this issue!

    Re: Stutter in FFXI

    I went into my Device Manager, and under HID compliant devices, I disabled the devices that weren't my keyboard and mouse (I had to guess and check), that stopped the stutter for me (XP 32-bit, NVIDIA 8600gts)

    Can you make a short list of the things you tried?

    Try the above post, Right Click "My Computer" > Manage > Device Manager > HID devices > Right click and Disable them, careful though because like he said one of these will be your mouse, I think you can go to properties and it will sometimes tell you what it is.

    You can try disabling UAC.

    Make sure you are running as administrator. (Right click > Run as admin).

    Theres other things you can try disabling in the network properties, like File and Printer Sharing, Client for Microsoft Networks, as long as you aren't on a network in your house... could be causing a stutter issue. (Since the QoS disable fixed my issue)

    You're on 64 Bit vista, which if I understand correctly has a few unique issues with FFXI. I think theres a couple other threads in this section that might help you.

    Re: Stutter in FFXI

    Disabling "QoS Packet Scheduler" worked for me. Thanks so much.. Was about to make a post about this when I decided to read through a bit.

    Saved me a lot of trouble haha Thanks a lot.
