Hello All,
Hoping to get some help getting FFXI running again after a long hiatus. I have been doing extensive research online and many recommended fixes have not worked for me.
Quick version: Using a high end Laptop (Alienware) with dedicated 4 gig video card. Always stuck with a 15 fps rate, no matter what I change in the game settings. So far, I have tried:
- forcing the game to run using the GPU (in the InVidia settings menu)
- forcing the settings to run in maximum performance mode (as opposed to power saver)
- turned off all cores except one (as recommended on YouTube)
- Tried using dgVoodoo to emulate DirectX but did nothing
My latest suggestion was to try and force POL to run using openGL over DirectX but I do not know how I would do this. I have poked around POL to try and see if there is a setting but have not seen one.
If someone could provided some guidance, I would greatly appreciate it. I've tried to doing research but am not getting anywhere. My last resort may be to create a Windows 7 partition...
Thanks in advance from an old, returning player.
