FFXIV Mouse Lag Fix

It's fine, just make it clear that this is a test, that it will break, and I will make a durable version of it once we make sure I'm not breaking the real patching sequence or anything (or at least... breaking it worse than it already is).

I'm a little concerned that SE does binary delta patches or something like that on the main EXE .. if they do then there might be some weirdness out of doing our own patching to the binary on disk instead of in memory. We'll just have to see with the next update. If I break anyone's install, I'm sorry.

Usually I don't release stuff like this without a lot more testing, but I figured there are probably a good number of people who are in the same boat as me with this mouse lag who would appreciate a potential fix right now.

The best case scenario is of course for SE to just enable this themselves.

who the hell is cliff

he just appeared all the sudden

red bar and all

I linked directly to FFXIAH post, so all that's taken care of, and now FFXIAH gets a ***ton of traffic ^^

I definitely encouraged everyone to back up the directory beforehand.

He r Windower and founder of FFXIAH, and the coding behind it? :o

If there was a master on these forums, it's surely him. lol

I'm, personally, ecstatic that this came out so fast.. Testing or not, this was my biggest gripe about FFXIV atm.

Setting a custom resolution to use with the Windowed-Fullscreen patch would be awesome though, if anyone's figured out that bit yet.

Windowed-Fullscreen FFXIV

Just tested the patch with the newest version of the game SE just pushed out. Sure enough it done broke. ;_;

It can't be reapplied either. If you try it'll crash the game right away.

/sigh... and right after I downloaded it :(

Hopefully Cliff's got his middle finger raised and the cursor on 'build'. >,>

Appreciate the effort, mate, but do you think there is possibly an in-game command? Or, better still, is there anything within the ffxivconfig.exe that can be checked?

There could be a small chance that they are trying to protect the main exe, but might have left the config unguarded...

Uploaded a new version of the patcher for the 2010.09.06.2000 patch.

The old patch seems to work anyway. I'm getting lobby error 13101, but can load the game fine with the old Hardware Mouse patcher.

A few people at FFXIV core are saying it's working as well. The patch itself (For FFXIV) was stupid though, I got some Unpack errors that were fixed by just changing the notepad data for the GameVer to today's one.

Something probably irrelevant, but Today's patch is actually 2010.09.06.2001.

Disregard that, I suck ***!

That was actually the cause of my 13101's. The file is xx.xx.2000. Derp derp.

I felt that was such a big ***, I should strikethrough instead of delete, in case anyone made the same mistake.

That's odd, it didn't work at all for me. I had to replace the exe to get the update to work otherwise it errored on me and reapplying the patch to the new exe didn't work at all.

Also, I haven't had the lobby error since 20 minutes ago or so.

EDIT: Oh yes and of course, thank you again Cliff. You're a saint.

Working beautifully for me. Thanks Cliff, always spot-on.

Be careful about manually updating the game version. The old mouse patch should cause crashes on the new version -- if it doesn't it means you don't actually have the new version, but you're tricking the game into thinking you do. That'll come to bite you later since the game only does delta patches of the main exe.

Newest patch works as well, great work again.

I was getting the 20524 even with the backup of ffxivgame.exe replacing the patched version. And attempting to "Double check" and use the restore file you provide yields a "File not found" Notice. I just think my updater was stupid.

It works flawlessly for me! Excellent job! Thank you very much!

Who the hell is cliff and who gave him a red bar?

Now the UI has to stop being a laggy mess and we're all set!

Thank you for doing something Square should've done since CB1. I wonder when they're going to learn.

Most truth you have ever said sir.

WOW! Thanks so much Cliff. for a while i thought maybe my PC wasn't powerful enough to handle FFXIV... so I dumbed it down so mcuh that PS2 FFXI looked better. And still got the mouse lag issue drove me insane!!!

Why are so many people oblivious to who Cliff is?

Click about at the bottom of the page, srsly.

Please, you give me too little credit. That's the Only truth I've ever said.

Everything seems to be working fine for the people who are using the patcher on ffxivcore.com, And I've not run into any problems myself. Hell, the game dropped enough piss-off to lower it's point below the critical mass of unplayable, so maybe Cliff'll make good+1 and create the one that can outlast SE's shitty patches?

I believe the problem is it being server side rather then client side, I really do believe that once retail hits and we have a disk that installs stuff a bit more reliably that they will put stuff that should be client side... client side (IE, mouse, UI, idk what else really >.>)

Do you mind if I ask what steps you took to figure this out? Did you just search through the file with a hex editor or something?

Hey.. You posted. Thanks, Scragg. :D

Mew. ;3

God it works!
