Prior to making the power supply switch/FPS switch, I was freezing 5-10 times a day. The freezing still does happen, but it's maybe once a week to one character, so it's not enough to make me lose my mind. I had a power supply from a different computer laying around that was slightly more voltage, so I chucked it in my FFXI PC and saw even further reduction. I instantly saw a huge reduction in my freezes. I pushed all 5 down to 30 FPS and power supply usage dropped dramatically. If your game has no audio or has partial audio, meaning that some sections of the game have audio while cutscenes or different elements do not have any. I monitored my power supply usage for a week days and while running 60 FPS, all five instances were running 'High' to 'Very High' power supply usage at once. While my GPU can take it, the power supply in my computer could not. The first, I had all five characters running at 60 FPS. The computer is only 3~ years old and has pretty high end components that SHOULD be able to run FFXI no problem, even 5 characters at once.Īfter all that, there are two things that offered mega relief. Tried keeping the fan at 100% at all times. Fresh install of all computer components.

It had been increasing in frequency over time too, to the point where it would rapid fire 2-3 of my characters in the span of a few minutes. The frequency drastically increases in certain Ambuscade and HTBF instances (the Iron Giant ambu and Lilith area, to be exact). I've gotten this since I started 4 & 5 boxing starting back in February or so. It's like a freeze where just the game screen is frozen, but I can still move the characters and click/do things but it doesn't show visually. Mine freezes almost every night I afk, its annoying.
