don't know if it matters anymore, but there are several versions of the FFXI Config in your steam file, the one that steam pulls up doesn't seem to affect the config used when you play it via playonline(after steam initiates playonline). i had to look in

@Smari00 Dude if you've till got that problem. Go to Program files - Steam - SteamApps- common - ffxi- SquareEnix - Final Fantasy XI - Tools EU (of Possibly US depedning where you live :P) And you should be able to find the config in this folder which "will" change your settings. I had some trouble myself until today. Hope this helps if you still have this problem.
@RTpmwe You may need to change the res in the registry as well if you notice no change. However, there should be some change unless your monitor doesn't support the resolution you are setting the game to.
Ah I'm so grateful for this video ;-; I was messing with in-game config settings for like 3 hours going like "Why can't I change my graphics?!?! DX Why God?!?!" .___.
Yeah personally I run two monitors, FF on one and everything else on the other (movies, msn, music - whatever) and the res is set to 1280 x 1024. You can do this through the new windower also.
This helped me sort of. I was lagging before and had TERRIBLE graphics. Now I have great graphics, but the FPS screws up too much. :( So its one or the other. And having bad graphics seems to make me lag anyways.
Lol, yes you are quite right. There is always going to be that old battle of performance vs quality. Generally most people have to make a choice on if they want pretty pictures and something nice to look at, or a good FPS and be able to react easier. It's worth trying to find your own comfortable balance in there somewhere.

Changing visual settings there seemed to work.

I bought the game through steam and did everything you did in the vid, even used regedit to try and up the graphics but they don't change at all. :S

@Smari00 Generally I would avoid steam but that's for reasons other than graphics.
You may need to change additional settings in the steam console.

@RTpmwe same thing happens to me. None of the settings I save in config are actually applied to the game (resolution, enable controller etc)

Is there an way to change the resolution settings for the Xbox360 version of this game?
Srxjer 3 years ago
Well the resolution can support widescreen and normal TVs, as well as HD TVs.
Unfortunately it seems the only resolution you can change on the xbox 360 is on the TV it self.

if you happen to have pretty nice computer specs, you can increase the resolution beyond 1024x1024 through regedit.
just google "final fantasy 11 config regedit" or something along those lines. =)
