I upgraded my GPU about 3 months ago to an Nvidia RTX 2080 as my old card failed. I was at the time of the upgrade running windows 7 and it was a simple swap out/in with no problems, The game ran fine with no graphical issues.
2 weeks ago i apprehensively made the leap to windows 10 and after farming some beads i noticed that when i warped into La Theine Plateau i would get a black screen and the only thing i could see was myself, other players, the warp crystal and i could not move but that was the only real issue i noticed and i just used my Mea ring to warp out.
Last week i gave my pc an upgrade (Will list upgrade parts below) and installed everything back on my system.
When running FF11 now though it has given me different issues the first problem i noticed and it happened randomly was all the text would vanish including spell list, Warp text destinations etc and the only thing that fixed this was to shutdown and log in.
The issue i was getting with the black screen in La Theine Plateau was now happening in most other areas randomly but this time i had to shutdown and log in to fix it.
Now i have tried many things like using a few different GPU drivers, Removing any OSD i have running, Adding POL to my GPU 3D settings to make performance changes, Turning G~Sync off.
I have tried to setup DG voodoo which i did have running for a time on my old pc, I can get it to load up but i have this flashing line down the left side of the screen that i cannot seem to fix.
Things i have not tried is a new install of FF11 using the pol downloads as i always install this game off disc to save the hassle of redoing spell lists and a new download of windower.
I'm curious if anyone is running either a new Ryzen system or an Nvidia 20 series GPU and is experiencing problems running FF11. New tech vs old game.
New games run fine without any problems it just seems FF11 struggling to run smooth. I have been playing FF11 for many years had a few system upgrades along the way but i have never had so many problems as of late.
