Fix to mouse lag

Praor

I came across this, maybe help some of you using a mouse .

 

 Cliff Spradlin of FFXIAH.com built this patch. Click the link to go look. Thanks Chris!

Note: This is super experimental and I have no idea if this will work for you. Even if it does, it will most certainly stop working after the next update.

I think I fixed mouse lag in FFXIV. Turns out that there is a hardware mouse mode in FFXIV, and so I wrote a patch to enable it.

The new patch is available here: http://static.ffxiah…ousePatcher.exe – For game version 2010.09.06.2000 ONLY!

Put the patcher in the same directory as ffxivgame.exe (i.e. in the main FFXIV program folder). Make sure that you have the latest game version before applying the patch (currently the patch only works on whatever the latest version is). Make sure to make a backup of the original, because the patcher won’t do it for you.

After it’s done, you should have smooth mouse action. This DOESN’T fix input lag caused by low frame rate, but it does make the game playable…whereas before I couldn’t stand it.

Please test and let me know if it works for you. If it does I’ll work on a more robust patcher that survives version updates.

UPDATE: If SE updates the game version, you will get an error ‘An update error has occurred – 20524′ as it is applying the patch. When this happens, simply move your backup ffxivgame.exe file back into place and run the game again. It will succeed. After that succeeds, you can re-patch with the new version of the mouse patch above.

Don’t have a backup? I’ll let you slide this time and provide a downgrade patch soon so that your install isn’t broken. Next time, back up!
