I originally thought it was latency but after ALOT of testing I have come to the conclusion something in isboxer is causing this issue. When running up to an npc whether it is a town vendor or a fate spawn it takes an excessive amount of time to visually show up. I can run a screen away and have issue with an NPC in that area popping waiting 10 seconds then run back a single screen and have the previous NPC not show up for 10+ seconds. This is just running ONE insance of ffxiv through isboxer. When i run the game by itself with no isboxer there is no load times for NPC to show up and everything is instant. Also load screens seem to be significantly faster when only running ffxiv. I have tested this on two different computers and have the same issue. I really hope its just a simple solution that i'm doing something wrong..some sort of caching perhaps? Either way the problem eludes me and it feels very significant so I hope we can come to resolution.
edit: If i run 4 instances of the game usually only one of the four windows has the npc loading problem. The other 3 pop just fine.
