Re: Enabled higher resolution on background textures. Game looks amazing. Look to see
lol @ malacite. what are you running it at? i have both overlay and BG to 2560x2048, looks GREAT i think we have same GPU, is that M after 8600 a typo? cuz i hav nVidia 8600 GT, no m, i'm looking at the box lol and that's odd, i have vista as well and it was in the same place described!

Also apparently SE said in an interview in November that they were dropping DX9 because it would take "too much time", so they were focusing on improving the DX8 client instead. Which hasn't happened either, specially now that Nvidia went and fixed the problems they had with XI. So SE probably decided it wasn't worth it for them since people will still play the game anyway.
Too much time ? lazy sob's! A graphical Update wouldnt bloody hurt shesh!
Though when i did the regedit blah blah xD Hmm main things i noticed was shadows are sharp as :D Also 0 fuzzyness on the characters nice . crisp and sharp
If its a 8600M then thats the mobile series for lappys so youll need to get some custom drivers for that xD

Re: Enabled higher resolution on background textures. Game looks amazing. Look to see
It would appear that most if not all the images posted here over the years are broken now, so many can't see the differences that this makes! So in light of that, here are some I made recently to show some of my friends who look at the game box and go icky...thats horrible!

I'm in the process of returning this month, and trying to get friends to join me that are looking for that older style of MMO play, unlike many of these new ones that float you around on a golden platter the whole time and give you everything with no challenges!

Also an update for those using Windows Vista, click on these folders in order after running RegEdit using the Run command:
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • SOFTWARE
  • WoW6432Node
  • PlayOnlineUS
  • SquareEnix
  • FinalFantasyXI
Then do the hex editing as described many places in this thread and choose a resolution your PC can handle!


Minimum FFXI Settings!




Max FFXI Settings!




2304*2304 Forced BG Textures!




4096*4096 Forced BG Textures! Not much difference than above but eh!

Sorry for the bump but, how do you actually "edit" the values?

It's a drop down list for me..



In the moonlight, your face it glows.. like a thousand diamonds, I suppose.
And your hair flows like.. The ocean breeze...
Not a million fights could make me hate you, you’re invincible.
Yeah, It’s true.
It’s in your eyes, where I find peace.

[I love you, Rebecca :D!]

Regedit.

Stop reading this thread, go to http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Graphics instead.
