In my free time I love blogging and I am a big tech enthusiast; if there is something new out there I got to try it out! As a web developer, I also have a passion for programming and design.
Thanks for the report Scott. I tried the themepack myself and wasn’t able to apply it, so I went ahead extracted the content with 7zip and re-created the themepack.. worked just fine then. Re-download the file now and it should work!
You should be able to disable Vsync in your Catalyst control center under OpenGL/D3D (display properties).
Sometimes, it can help to downgrade graphic card drivers for specific games. I know this might not be a solution, but if you’re trying to figure out what the problem is I would give it a try, but first try to diable Vsync it’s often causing problems.
If you don’t know what port forwarding is or how to do it, I recommend to visit the website http://portforward.com – which will help you to forward all ports that are a) required to update Final Fantasy 14 and b) possibly to play Final Fantasy 14
Strauts, did you try to update your drivers? Is it a NVIDIA or ATI card?
Also try to disable AA, AF or other graphic settings temporarily. Make sure you have the latest DirectX and the correct 64-bit drivers for your card. Other than that there’s not much you can do. Maybe try to reset your BIOS settings or disable Vsync in games.
Little update on this. If you want to download Final Fantasy 14 patches via the client instead of downloading and installing them manually, you should forward the following ports in your router software:
Michele, that’s a very interesting find. I think this might help a lot of people to fix the “has stopped working” problem.
My theory is that Final Fantasy XIV requires some ports to be open that your home router is blocking. I’ll try to figure out which port you have to forward to make it work again.
Actually, Windows 8 is real. Please do your homework first before being smart
Windows 8 also known as Windows.next is an upcoming Windows OS scheduled for a 2012 release. So, yes it’s definitely on the way and in development right now.
What you are talking about is a modified Windows 7 version that some smart people want to sell as Windows 8.
Glad you fixed it and thanks for letting us know what the problem was. Btw, full screen mode might not that good, every time you use ALT + tab your client will end the game. There is no good work around other than Windowed mode and setting the window size to your screen resolution.
Rob, please try to download the patch d2010.09.01.2001 again. Make sure that *all* of the patches above are in the correct folder and keep in mind that the new updated patch has files that have to be stored in the folder bca2a8ae.
Anyway, I will be reupload the patch d2010.09.01.2001 and you can redownload it in 5 minutes.
Hit DEL to get into the BIOS and change your boot order so that the PC will boot from DVD FIRST. Please look into your motherboard manual to learn more about this.
Then your PC will boot from DVD and you can repair the bootmgr.
IMPORTANT: The patch D2010.09.05.2000 has been updated. It is now a zip file with two folders bca2a8ae and d96437e6. Copy them into the correct folders in C:\Users\[yourusername]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\
2. Extract the files and copy them to the folders bca2a8ae and d96437e6 (C:\Users\[yourusername]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\)
