    Is that the Fatigue indicator? The text is in Japanese when I play.

    Thanks!

     It means that some piece of your equipment is critically damaged. Go to a repair NPC and have them fix it.

     

     

    EDIT: I only know that because it happened to me last week and I finally decided to get my equipment repaired today and it disappeared.

     

    Oh wow, thanks! Gee, I hope they find a text translator before launch! lol

    Every other debuff or buff I've seen works, I hope they'll make that one in the right text too before launch, I thought it was Fatigue at first as well.

    Oh on a side note when you see the yellow part of that buff turn red that means somethin' your wearing has broken.

    My system is not the best in the world, but it should run this game at something better than this right? lol

    Q6600 quad core OC > 3.15 gHz, 4 GB DDR2 800 OCZ, 8800 GT, 500 GB 7200 RPM WD HDD

    Other games play fine, but this one kicks my PC's ass

    It looks like you have a really nice setup going...It could very well be your video card....I hate NVIDIA...always require too much power without giving enough bang for your buck.

    Here is my specs and the game runs almost perfectly with highest graphics:

    AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core

    4 GB DDR2 Ram

    Radeon 4670 (doesnt even require input into the power supply but is very very powerful)

    500gb harddrive

     

    Ive played every game and the only few MMO's I cant put to highest graphics settings without lotsa lag are LOTRO, EQ2 and Vanguard....all others play perfectly at top level..

    I dont know what your problem is, but Id stick with Radeon....always had trouble with NVIDIA...

    My system is identical to yoursJT and I can by no  means run the game with any settings on (physics, extended, dust, shadows, AA, DoF, ambient occlusion, texture filtering) at 1650x1080

     That is very odd.  I did have AA at none, but kicked it up to the max today to see how it would run and I couldn't tell any difference in performance and the game looked the same.  I do run shadows at standard setting, but that is my preference.  In most games I just turn shadows off.

    I dont know if someone pointed it out already didnt read the whole thin  but,

    You need a 1GB video card at least , maybe the 8800 GT you have is 512mb ?¿, I moved around my video cards a lot and y tried an old ati card  with 512 m just to try if it ran and it ran exactly the same as yours did.

    Eighter that or your video card is busted , or somethin on the config for your video card doesnt work.

    I have a 240 in my low budget pc and it runs perfectly.Can get it problably for under 100,

    You know theres something wrong when this system can Max out FFXIV but an I7 920 and 2 GTX 285s SLI or a Phenom 965 and 5850's can only play at about 20fps on medium settings... this game is wack.

    MMOs Played: FFXI,Age of Conan, Aion, Rift, SWTOR, TERA, TSW, GW2

    Playing:None

    Waiting For: Wildstar, The Repopulation, Archeage, TESO, Warhammer 40K:EC, EQN

    FFXIV doesn't need a 1gb video card.

    This is a screenshot of the vram and gpu used on a GTS 250 @ 1280x768 with shadows on and at high, buffer size at resolution and texture settings on high. I'm standing around an aetheryte zoomed out as far as I can. As you can see here, a 512mb card is fine.

    Lol, i could never play the game like that. But I got a similar system but with less RAM, and I can run the game fine on high settings, it only lags when lots of people are around me.

    Thanks , good to know.

    Never the less he is having the same problem i had with a 512 M card, so his problem is definetly the gpu.

    If I was the OP I would try all the settings on low but with buffer resolution set to "resolution" that's the main thing making it look like a 1980's game here.

    Just curious about your screenshot, as the GPU Load in this pic is based on current processing not "MAX" . We know ALT tabbing out of the game crashes FF. You would need to clarify this and re-run GPU-Z in the background and set the results to MAX to see what they peaked at while playing.

    Core i5 13600KF,  BeQuiet Pure Loop FX 360, 32gb DDR5-6000 XPG, WD SN850 NVMe ,PNY 3090 XLR8, Asus Prime Z790-A, Lian-Li O11 PCMR case (limited ed 1045/2000), 32" LG Ultragear 4k Monitor, Logitech G560 LightSync Sound, Razer Deathadder V2 and Razer Blackwidow V3 Keyboard

    If you run FFXIV in windowed mode, it doesn't crash. I didn't run GPU load at max because at some point, it spiked briefly to 94% for no more than a moment, but it usually hovers around mid 60's during gameplay while running around. Usage is much lower on minimum settings. Why is the highest reading of the GPU load important, when the game itself doesn't use that much normally? As for vram used, it's a solid line throughout, it only climbs, but never really goes down. Max was at 293 while running around Ul'dah.
