FINAL FANTASY XIV HotFixes (Jul. 6, 2024)

■We have taken preliminary steps to address the following issue:

・ An issue wherein the game becomes unresponsive when transitioning between areas (Xbox Series X|S Version Only)

* We have taken several measures that we anticipate will effectively address the memory fragmentation issue we previously identified.

Despite our ongoing investigation into the matter with the assistance of Microsoft, the issue persists in some of our development environments.

Our current progress involves rigorous testing of each potential cause of the issue and verifying the impact of each measure. However, it is highly likely that it will take time to fully uncover and address the issue, so we have applied a version of the process that we believe may be effective to the public servers. Therefore, while we have not yet received the final confirmation that the issue has been fully addressed, we will continue to monitor the situation in the public environment after the patch has been applied.

Should the resolution of the issue require additional time, we will consider extending the free game time we previously announced.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and ask for your patience as we prioritize the investigation to fully resolve this issue.
