Hi all, having some issues with my M11x R2 and FFXI. Whenever I try to run FFXI, whether through Windower or through the default POL, I'm only getting about 5 ~ 8 FPS, when I should be getting the full 30. I figured this was due to the stupid Optimus switch not turning on my Nvidia GPU, and I'm assuming that's correct. When I try running the launchers through the GPU by right-clicking the shortcuts however, after the POL splashscreen, it immediately gives the "Play Online has stopped working" error message. Some steps I've taken to fix the problem:
- Installed ThrottleStop and configured it correctly
- Updated POL to the Windows Vista / 7 version. (I'm running Windows 7)
- Updated my drivers while also deleting any previous registries of older drivers
- Added Windower launcher, POL, and FFXI's shortcut to the Nvidia GPU list
- Ran POL in safe-mode and it worked fine
- Also ran POL with the Intel HD graphics and didn't encounter the error
Any and all help is appreciated, I'll be sure to respond as fast as possible to help resolve the issue. Thanks!
