    @Avellar3000 @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN if you're stupid enough to ignore this extremely well documented facts, then thats you, most of the people that play do so with a high end pc, mine is for a reason, and im am also a coder, so I know they issues are mostly because of texture decompression and the engine.

  • ShiromiyaFubuki 白宮ふぶき (@ShiromiyaFubuki) reported

    @TSFF19 @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN The problems definitely didn’t start in dawntrail but they are culminating it Why are you defending a bad game? It isn’t mid; it’s frankly terrible and there’s a max exodus from the game right now Square mmo profits down 45% YoY Player numbers in free-fall But sure it’s mid 🙄

  • ZartanLucifer ᛉᚨᚱᛏᚨᚾᛚᚢᚲᛁᚠᛖᚱ Z (@ZartanLucifer) reported

    @Veteran_Veigar @monsterhunter Ok, I get ur point, but adding one little good thing doesn't exclude the bad performance, I play on XSX and if my game was crashing I would be angry as **** too, so honestly if the problem doesn't concern u, let the ones who had try to solve it

  • ramzaomega Ramza (@ramzaomega) reported

    @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN Did they fix the performance….no then it’s a hard pass

  • ortaign Ortaign (@ortaign) reported

    @Kinglid131 @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN It's not a live service game, It's like playing Elden Ring, ultimately a single player game with some multiplayer, you can get into it any time you want. But you'll likely have some issues if you play it on PC, unless it's a giga PC

  • Neverdweller Never Dweller 👽🤘 (@Neverdweller) reported

    @Risu64 @monsterhunter I don't really wander in the game, I spend most of it on sos quests. But it would be interesting if we could wander out with a party into some trouble 🐸 Maybe a new party finder system for exactly that in each area? 🥹

  • MASoeiro16 M.André Soeiro (@MASoeiro16) reported

    @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN Fix de performance first!

  • Dracevl Drace (@Dracevl) reported

    @CabbageFarmer42 @monsterhunter I have no issues at the moment with my 5080 no worries pal, but are you guys even realizing that Crapcom can’t even add an event quest that is bugged?

  • TFO_Challenger Epsilon🐝👀🏃 (@TFO_Challenger) reported

    @FonsiLive @monsterhunter You keep saying everyone, when this is JUST for the speedrunners. I just dont see the issue in any part of this. The whole entire point if speedrunning IS to optimize. You just sound ignorant, then are proceeding to get mad at a scenario you made up in your head. +

  • checorengas checote (@checorengas) reported

    @monsterhunter Its gonna be a really hard quest, not in dificulty, but because i get a crash every 5 minutes

  • Hunter60000633 kyloran (@Hunter60000633) reported

    @Sintinerus @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN I believe a full overhaul for CPU and GPU is coming in TU3 or TU4, I personally fixed my issues by clearing my shader cache and resetting it. Capcom pushed out an image that’s on Reddit to do it. My game runs perfectly fine now

  • Dacen44 Dacen (@Dacen44) reported

    @Triggermask @Avellar3000 @monsterhunter No, but run fine or at least better for more people now and they're constantly talking abour how concious they are about the perfomance problems and showing they're working on it bit a bit

  • ruby_lyrics Oni-Lyrics (@ruby_lyrics) reported

    @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN hmmm fix game or random collab..........

  • NuUdrasSon Evil Nu Yaya (?) (@NuUdrasSon) reported

    @skadi3333 @monsterhunter They are literally actively doing something about it 💀 bug fix patches, new content, constant community updates on known concerns/fixes, major optimization patch announced

  • Ot79933845Otaku Miles/マイルズ (@Ot79933845Otaku) reported

    @Goufunaki @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN Cause their too broken

  • Dacen44 Dacen (@Dacen44) reported

    @Triggermask @Avellar3000 @monsterhunter 2- Optimizing a finished game needs an insane ammount of work and time, wilds still need the time is needing now to fix the perfomance issues but with a lot of people not working cause they apparently can't add nothing to the game until is optimized

  • OmegaZeroOZ OmegaZero OZ (@OmegaZeroOZ) reported

    @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN As cool as that is, it still doesn't fix the biggest issue, which is the insanely bad optimization for pc users, if the update brings even more crashes for people that didn't have them before, then it's gonna kill the game for good, just fix it before its too late.

  • Zolerii1 Zolerii Bralani (@Zolerii1) reported

    @Chaniro91 @monsterhunter I have a below average machine and can run on a mix of medium/low that might be an issue on your end too

  • gothxm_xx . (@gothxm_xx) reported

    @iganmora @Dracevl @monsterhunter Exactly why I don't like playing on PC. Too many variables for them to fix most of the time

  • Avellar3000 Avellar (@Avellar3000) reported

    @Triggermask @Dacen44 @monsterhunter Of course they test it. Do they test it with YOUR person setup? Running whatever software, hardware updates, versions, ect? No and that's the issue with PC users, variables add up quickly. Who's to say your setup is running in the correct configuration? That's why reports matter.

  • OmegaZeroOZ OmegaZero OZ (@OmegaZeroOZ) reported

    @Avellar3000 @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN if you're so retarded to not get it, then it's on you son, the game has issues, I have framedrops entering map, I don't have any issues after that, even for my pc, which is way above recommended specs, cant run it flawlessly like before, speaks volumes of how poorly optimize is.

  • Dacen44 Dacen (@Dacen44) reported

    @Triggermask @Avellar3000 @monsterhunter We all agree wilds shouldn't be released in the state it was, but is ignorant to say they're not recognizing and workin on it and unrealistic to think they should stop everything to fix perfomance like if they would fix it in a month if so

  • OmegaZeroOZ OmegaZero OZ (@OmegaZeroOZ) reported

    @HiPlayerProdigy @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN I used to play with the HD pack, no stutters before, now if I play with the HD pack, the game tends to crash, it's a cluster **** of horrible updates, worse of all, is because of how badly the texture decompression is, along with the inferior re engine that doesn't work for this.

  • dorkdroll DorkDroll (@dorkdroll) reported

    @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN Fix the performace plz

  • Drakentara Draken Kendra (@Drakentara) reported

    @monsterhunter I hope when I can launch the game again that I'll be able to participate in all the challenge quests and events I will miss because my PC just doesn't want to run this anymore, it just no longer launches and I've reinstalled and don't know the issue just gonna give it a big wait

  • nahitsjustdave superdave100 (@nahitsjustdave) reported

    @monsterhunter So… do we know what the issue was? Dataminers?

  • TatsunaKyo Tatsuna (@TatsunaKyo) reported

    @VoriukasY @Kitoripop @monsterhunter Again, this is an argument only in the gaming industry for whatever reason. If you put a broken washing machine on the market, even smart ones that can be updated, the customer is returning the purchases and staining your brand forever. People like you legitimize bad companies.

  • EricEricCamCam Tron Javolta (@EricEricCamCam) reported

    @DJ_Wilson317 @monsterhunter Allegedly if it’s a launch series X it has issues where the game thinks the system is going to overheat and shuts it down even though it’s not at risk at all

  • TSFF19 SFF (@TSFF19) reported

    @ShiromiyaFubuki @monsterhunter @FF_XIV_EN If one mid expansion ruins a game with literal YEARS of content for you, that sounds like a you problem, not the game's.

  • TatsunaKyo Tatsuna (@TatsunaKyo) reported

    @VoriukasY @Kitoripop @monsterhunter What kind of stupid argument is this? I have not bought the game, it was gifted to me, but even if I had bought it, the fault is on the publisher if it releases a broken product on the market. I cannot put this any easier than that to make you understand such a simple fact.
