4 years later, I found this video. I just started playing again myself buddy, but I FEEL you on the discovery. It blew my mind when I could witness the difference it made and felt. Let's not even get into the HD texture packs as well. haha.
Im right there with you. I have not tried it but I got a PC a few hrs ago to play this game again. I have not played in about 10 years and I own a PS5 so I got used to 60 fps. I ran the game and was like wtf. I was about to uninstall and go to bed very sad. I then remembered as you did about the windower thing and went to Google. It blows my mind. My first comment and first thumbs up ever. I can now go to sleep peacefully. Thank you sir.
They are having an event where you play free for a time. So I immediately downloaded it got in game and all the memories came back long time fan. I couldn’t get it to work because I forgot about installing the config lol. 4K resolution all stuff maxed 60 FPS it doesn’t get any better than this! Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I was getting frustrated lol!
When i uncapped framerate the animations just went super speed like it just looked like my character was fleeing but was still actually running at the regular speed because it was like 300 fps or something... and my weapon attacked super speed but then just took longer to attack again! All it does is increase the animation speed, So yeah you deffintly dont want to fully uncap framerate in this game. If your computer cant handle 60 fps consistantly in the game for some reason, 30 fps may still be smoother, going from like 60 - to 45 then back to 60 in this game is way worse than a locked 30! To improve framerate if your struggling to acheive a full 60 fps i'd recommend a programme like dgvoodoo to make the game run in dx9 rather than 8, which can improve performance especially if you have a laptop with switchable gfx as ordinarily it wont see your dedicated gpu in dx8 and intel hd hates dx8!
Jamie Hav0k thanks for the feedback. After a little more exploration, I found the same thing you did with the uncapped frame rate, and MAN was it wonky. Alternatively I find 60fps feels really good. The great part about this game is the system requirements are so low to enjoy it. Any newer GPU will smoke this thing so that’s really great. Thanks again for the feedback.
I play on Nasomi, I have a GTX 660 ti and I play with the 60fps cap and The HD packs. Only Just started so Idk yet how it's gonna Hold up in the long run. So far tho it looks WAY better and runs Smooth. I also have ReShade and FFXI View-Master, and it makes the Text SOOOO much more readable @ 1080.
Sadly Windower of ANY type will not work on my PC. Not until they can re-config it for Vista players. Yes there ARE a few of us, but it DID work great up until a patch about 2 years ago that made it crash every time you load up. Miss my range/distance and mini maps and TP gauges.
Jessie James oh yeah I realize that. I played for probably 12 or so years without touching windower. However now that I’m used to it, I would have a pretty tough time going back to normal maps.
Technically yes, but it's the same lines as ACT in FF14. They're not going to hunt you down, and the only way you can get banned for it is 1: Talking about how you use it in shout chat and 2: Someone taking their time to report you. Even then, SE hardly bans people anymore anyway. I guarantee you, every person you run past is using Windower or Ashita.
Tony Pugliese I’ll be honest, I have uncapped the frame rate even at 1080 and it just makes the game go full wonky.even at 60, from time to time it feels like the game is moving in fast forward. Truth be told, it was designed at a max of 30 FPS, so anything above isn’t really intended. I honestly like 60 as it makes a much smoother experience, but uncapped gets super grainy in most areas.
Unfortunately I am not. I intend to come back in the near future and start new. I've been getting nostalgic to clear all the story that I never did. Maybe these videos can make a return as well lol.
airnoi phongsavath if you have the correct plugins for windower the difference is pretty clear. You may not be using the correct addons to enable the frame rate increase.
Michael Rivers I mentioned in the description, but you need to be running windower 4 with the config plugin enabled. I didn’t know this when I first recorded.

On behalf of my friends and I, thank you so much for this video!
Stranger happy to help! There was much more to this that I learned after recording this, but man does this game feel better at 60 FPS.
Same! I just picked it up and started playing around with it. I beefed up my entire game. Again, thank you so much!

Toby Hill dude so glad you came back. The game is as good as its ever been!
i play on ffera it's a private server and they had this for some years now it's a awesome feature!
0 is uncapped framerate, not 3
Davie Russell ok that makes more sense. Thanks. I was pulling from an obscure Reddit thread when I found it. I appreciate the clarification man!

Anyone else hear "Its Andrew Yang with Andrew Yang gaming" I was like WTF!?!

that command sucks and it only lasts until you get a treasure chest drop, then it immediately resets itself.
I cant see the darn text soo small lol.. what is the command i try but nothing works
I've run it uncapped with Windower for years. Game looks sharper and runs smooth as silk.
frame stuttering is worse than low frame rate
Is there frame stuttering in this vid?
@3:54
thank you man
Naruto Hokage hope it helps!!!
Not working. I just tried it and nothing happens.
Looks like it caused your char some slowdowns while running and decreased movement speed overall..
it looks like your running slower lol. How do you add the mini map ? You using windower?
Jessie James yeah it’s a windower plugin. Idk that I could play without it these days.
Andrigan Gaming very easily? Been playing 15 years with out one the game already has maps
Jessie James oh yeah I realize that. I played for probably 12 or so years without touching windower. However now that I’m used to it, I would have a pretty tough time going back to normal maps.
@@andrigangaming4106 which plugin
Will this get you banned from the retail game? I've seen a couple people say that it will but I can't find anything definitive.

NokoFace Thank you for the reply! That definitely makes me more willing to try it out then :)
Would it be possible to run this game on a 4K 60hz monitor at a fixed 60 FPS rate? Or would it be better to stick with a 1080p 120/144hz ?
Tony Pugliese I’ll be honest, I have uncapped the frame rate even at 1080 and it just makes the game go full wonky.even at 60, from time to time it feels like the game is moving in fast forward. Truth be told, it was designed at a max of 30 FPS, so anything above isn’t really intended. I honestly like 60 as it makes a much smoother experience, but uncapped gets super grainy in most areas.
Jesus Christ, the game with the direct X 11 dgvoodoo2 program, and the HD texture pack and shaders and now 60fps it's actually playable again hahaha
Are you still playing the game?
Unfortunately I am not. I intend to come back in the near future and start new. I've been getting nostalgic to clear all the story that I never did. Maybe these videos can make a return as well lol.
Your text too small to see the correct text.. can't see the correct text..
Cool!
I've tried this and it doesn't change, fps tracker still sits at 29 fps no matter which command I enter :(
Joe Carpenter are you using the config plugin for wonderful?
Windower sorry.
Andrigan Gaming I'm not, that would be the cause then haha, cheers mate
Joe Carpenter awesome!! Glad it was a simple fix and I hope you enjoy it!!
@@andrigangaming4106 did you know you can edit comments?
Can't get widower to work. Much less this.
thankz man
Dekadis happy to help man! It’s fun to see how newer machines can run the game lol
and please remove window effect on config menu...
Ffxi mostly kbr only, well thats how I used to play it
I must have a vision problem because I can't tell at all lol
airnoi phongsavath if you have the correct plugins for windower the difference is pretty clear. You may not be using the correct addons to enable the frame rate increase.
Is that in the actual game?
