My party stayed up all night long finishing up ZM missions so we would be able to have sky access. We did ZM6-ZM13 and everything was fine. I started walking through the hall of gods and entered the zone to Ru'Aun Gardens. After entering Ru'Aun Gardens I experienced a major drop in frame rate, and was unable to continue do to the major amounts of lag. During this time my Send/Receive was fine. I ended up DC'ing and loged back in the same problem continued. After DC'ing again I went to FFXIconfig and set all game settings to minimum ie screen resolution, background resolution,etc. After logging back in w/ settings changed there was no improvement with frame rate. However I was able to type in /ma "Warp" <me>, and ended back up in jeuno, where i come to find that everything was running flawlessly. I am only having this problem when I try to enter sky. If anyone can help me with this please do so. I just got sky and i'm not even able to go there ; ;.
Here are some specs:
CPU: AMD 1900
GPU: GeForce 6600 256 RAM
RAM: 768MB DDR RAM
Sound Card: Sound blaster Audigy 2
Please help (;¿;)

You might try going back with your sound disabled.

First off I want to say THANK YOU highRfrequenC! From the desktop using FFXI config I unchecked the box "Enable Sound."
Logged back on to FFXI went To hall of gods, enter zoned to Ru'Aun Gardens... game ran FLAWLESSLY. Though it would be nice to have sound, I am much happier just to be able to enter that area. I'll try updating Audigy 2 drivers and see if that will help with sound.
again, thank you very much!

I updated sound card drivers, put the sound back on, then enterd back into game. BAM lag again ><.
edit: try this first:
I think it probably has something to do with the music for the area, maybe disabling Directsound will help. You can change that through directx.
Start -> Run -> "dxdiag" -> Ok -> Sound
Move the slider up and down.
Look to see if you have onboard sound, and disable it in the BIOS if you do.
Also, look for IRQ conflicts.
Start -> Run -> "msinfo32" -> Ok -> Hardware Resources -> IRQ
If the Audigy is on the same IRQ as another device, that might be the problem too.

When I checked this the slider was all the way to the right and said "Full acceleration." I move slider all way over to left to where it said "No acceleration." Then I tried entering area and there was still major lag.

I restarted comp went to BIOS settings and I was unable to find where to check to see if my onboard sound was enabled. :\

When checking this I noticed that VIA USB Enhanced Host Contoller and Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) were both assigned to IRQ 17.
Do you notice lag when the weather changes too? If so, try turning off the weather effects in the in-game config menue.

nope, no problems with weather changes.
The usb controller shouldn't muck things up.
It could be that disabling the sound just gave you the extra processing speed to handle whatever graphics it is struggling with. Does FFxi have graphics settings you can lower or disable?

yes I had tried this before posting here, I set screen resolution, background resolution, everything in the config menu that i would help with FPS, I set to a minimum. This did not even help with the lag. The lag was not any better with running at minimal settings.
