FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread X: "Social life ends tonight."

They still haven't fixed the issue where if your gamepad turns itself off, you have to restart the whole client to use it again. :-/

I never had this problem. I could have the client running and plug in my game pad to have it work as long as it was already set up in the config menu. Or are you referring to a wireless gamepad? I'm too cheap for one of them atm and dont want to risk breaking something using my ps3 one on win7. The setups I've always seen recommended not to use on Vista or 7.

Lots of loading screens... lots.

[Draylo]

Hm wow... for some reason I registered using my buddy pass and not my actual code...

[SephYuyX]

I get graphical tearing if I enable Depth of Field.

[Draylo]

Anyone know if thats gonna screw me somehow later on? Don't want them to make me rebuy the damn game... It already applied it to the beta/asuran armguard so I can't use the registration code for the one i bought.

Do the special items (armband, shoes, etc) show up on just the first character on your account?

It will show on any character as long as you meet the requirements. Which simply means other will show up always since you registered the codes, but shoes will only appear on a new character if your XI is active while creating that chara.

Is the fps cap 60 or 120 fps? (or is there an option to choose?)

installed the game and downloaded the patch independently of each other. how do i go about applying (placing) the patch folders?

[SephYuyX]

This. They really need to fix it. If your controller dies or you AFK to use the bathroom, having to restart everything is a major pain.

[Gwynplaine]

Intense stuff.

The JP even get better DVD cases.

So I'm trying to "Downloading this version update files", and it's just sitting at zero everything. Any ideas? It's the D2010.09.19.00000

Is this another time people are just downloading the patches off a torrent instead and screwing the official one?

I'm also stuck on this file too. It is sitting at 0%, tried restarting comp but that had no effect. I guess just gotta keep waiting lol

Edit: It just started to load, and then went back to 0%, now saying wait time 9 and a half hours... -_- lol

Yea, and the packaging itself looks a bit larger, or maybe just shaped different. Of course the NA version only had a book in one side and a game case in the other, so I guess whatever that other box he threw out of the package was could account for the size difference. Most of the NA package is just empty space with cardboard inserts.

[Souj]

Stuck on 99.9% for the last 10 minutes :/

I installed and updated, now I'm trying to add payment to my account, wtf is all this crysta shit? I've never had so much trouble trying to give people money.

[CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon]

Nvidia 480 finally came today after my RMA. Just installed and Oh Em Gee is it a huge difference form the 9800. Not totally maxed graphics but I'm sitting at a constant 60fps in the field.

This + ps3 wireless working again = joy
