This is a cleaned up repost of my FFXI reg tweak summary including the various additions made in the prior thread. The following will summarise additions and include all prior material.
* 1.) The Tweak
The FFXI config utility allows you to set your 'background resolution' at up to 1024x1024. Changing a key in your registry, you can set it to 2048x2048. For many, the improvement is tremendous, often with not much performance hit, but your milage will naturally vary. This is worthwhile particularly because most people are reporting that FSAA is doing nothing for them in FFXI. This is in a sense a way to force a kind of FSAA Supersampling (simplest form of AA).
* 2.) The Method
---.------------------
1. Simple Method:
----------------
Run one of the reg files I've created and hosted here containing the new hex values for the reg keys in question, to automatically install the new values to the registry and set the according texture res:
Sets background res to 2048x2048
Sets background res to 1792x1792
Sets background res to 1536x1536
Sets background res to 1280x1280
To return the value to a default texture res listed in the config util, either simply run the config util and pick one of the originals, which will wholly undo the changes, or if you're REALLY lazy, run the reg key below to return it to 1024x1024:
Sets background res to 1024x1024
Additionally, I had someone in a previous thread request a value BETWEEN the 512x512 and 1024x1024 values listed in the config util, as their system couldn't quite handle the supported 1024x1024 resolution, but nor did the next step down in the config util, 512x512, satisfy them. If you want that, here it is:
Sets background res to 768x768
----------------------------------------
2. Manual Method (registry hackers only)
----------------------------------------
i) Open the Registry Editor.
ii) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PlayOnlineUS\SquareEnix\FinalFantasyXI
iii) Change values for the keys '003' and '004' to hex values equivalent to the desired resolution in decimal. For example, a resolution of 2048x2048 means you want both of the keys 003 and 004 to equal decimal value 2048, which is 800 in hex.
NOTE: 800 (i.e., 2048x2048) is the highest value supported by the engine, PERIOD, and any acceptable value MUST be a multiple of 100. The engine will just crash if you try anything else.
