FINAL FANTASY XIV Hotfixes (Aug. 27, 2024)

■Shadow, the probationary European logical data center released to mitigate congestion following the launch of Dawntrail, has been shut down.
*Characters who are on the Shadow data center when this maintenance begins will automatically have been returned to their Home World at the end of maintenance.

■The additional instances implemented in Patch 7.0 to prevent congestion in Tuliyollal and Solution Nine have been removed.

■We removed the automatic process implemented to ease congestion upon the release of Patch 7.0 which logged out players who were inactive for 30 minutes.
Along with the change above, we have also removed the process that prevented characters who had travelled to a new World using the Data Center Travel system/World Visit system from being able to log in at their destination if those systems had already reached maximum capacity.
*Please note that you cannot apply for a Data Center Travel/World Visit if the maximum capacity has been reached.

・An issue with AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage) wherein the enemy actions Centerstage Combo and Outerstage Combo caused an erroneous sound effect to play.
