I remember one of the BIG selling points for this game to be touted by DB himself was the fact it required very little bandwicth and would be easily playable over the most mediocre internet connection......... I take it that bull went the same way as the in-depth gameplay? LOL
and of course....play your own way ?
It's quite obvious that you do. When you list positives you stick the knife in at the same time.
Triggered? Not really, I like the nostalgia that your posts give. It's like a bygone relic that doesn't evolve. I open the forum today, first time in ages, and laugh when I see the thread. I predict what you'll post before I read it - more precisely, the acerbic style. Reassuring. It's nice to have a fixed unchanging point in time.
Thread title is wrong. You haven't decided to give 2.4 a try. So why waste your time on two fronts? I bet noone has changed their opinion either way one jot on reading your post.
I don't like FFXIV as much as you, but I'll refrain from constantly trolling the game on Square's website as I recognise that people like and dislike different things. It's really quite simple?
See you next update/patch/season.
You see, you say that, but last night I played for three hours on one account doing a CG, then three hours on another account doing missions. Never experienced a single dropout, never had an issue with my SLF or SRV. Had 15 - 22 missions on the boards with 5-6 factions to choose from, did 30'ish hypserspace jumps without problems. The last session, I was chatting to two buddies, each 2,000 KM away, over voice comms, sharing my screen with both so they could see my game play and updating several other games through Steam. Throughout, I was using Inara, EDDB and the forums. Not one problem in six solid hours of play and I'm on an island in the middle of the North Atlantic with Internet that is "aspirational" at best.
It's only sub-par for you while others are having excellent game experiences. Logic says that isn't the games fault.
So Questor has some sort of connectivity, system, hardware, or driver issue. Either his ISP/router is filtering traffic or his home system has issues. There's all sorts of tech articles issued by Support to help you fault find what is wrong, but to use them you need to recognize that Frontier techs are not responsible for your hardware or ISP. You are. Instead of blaming them, take some responsibility and sort out your home system before blaming others.
2.4 switched upnp settings around. Switch em back and see if that works better for you.
Then why aren't I having any of the same problems that the Opie is having?
Again, who said that I even like ffxiv? I just said I played it this month.
You've a very, very big bag of made up assumptions, it's quite hilarious actually.
And, even if I perfectly know your wall of assumptions is unbreakable, I seriously tell you I gave 2.4 a very open minded chance of hooking me back into the game. Didn't expect anything bad or good, just wanted to plug in the hotas and fly around once more just for the sake of it.
Weird you say I don't evolve, in 2 years I went from being a huge fanboy in pre 2.0, taking a break for 2.1 burnt out by the engineers, then again being one of the fanboys club again with 2.2, the only update that I truly liked, and then becoming a bitter part time forum user after 2.3 where I actually play once every 2-3 months til this day.
So yeah, another assumption. You probably read a few comments I made back in the day, and then decided I was a "bygone relic that doesn't evolve" but seriously, you should drop that assumption bag as soon as you can. Believing something doesn't make it real![]()
Haha, whatever you want, oh brave warrior. Noone but you dare's to speak out, you do so at great risk and your 'best in the country isp with 25mb/s download' must mean all settings are correct. Thats how networks work, everyone knows it.
Fine, carry on. God speed!![]()
25mb/s should be enough to play any games. Also, for the game to work correctly people shouldn't have to dig that deep into their settings and configs for their routers. That said, port forwarding is easy to do, well-documented and greatly improved things on my side. Also, 2.3 and 2.4 seems to have corrected many network bugs or might just be my imagination.
Ugh....
So, I've found out that getting the left UI panel stuck isn't limited to doing those missions - apparently it's *any* time you go from SRV > ship > jump back into supercruise, and at that moment the left panel becomes stuck, even though it was not stuck in the SRV or in the ship.
I know it's not planetary landings in a *ship*, because I've landed at surface stations just fine without it getting stuck.
I'll be putting in a bug report and will edit this with a link once I've done that....pending on what's in 2.4.0.2....
Good to hear.
This is not a new bug though, I already experienced it before 2.3, then it was patched and now with 2.4 is back.
Did the .02 this morning fix it?
