As others have said, other games didn't have it drop into the Steam store as visible until a few days after release, up to a week. Patience.

It does, you just don't notice it on a console that's literally designed to run at that framerate. But on modern hardware, it's visible because THAT'S WHAT IT WAS REALLY LIKE. The SquareEnix Twitch stream also proved your claim about Fossil Canyon, etc blatantly false, because it ran normally, with no "2-3fps" you're assuming. but ok. sure. :)

Do you have mental problems? I see you posting everywhere and your overall attitude is a bit odd in how much you're defending just a plain ole crappy port/emulation or whatever.. especially with the passive aggressive smile for whatever reason lol.

You probably should get some help, hopefully this games performance gets some help too since I really enjoy CC and was a childhood favorite.

I literally explained to you the "port" runs fine, and was proven on the SquareEnix Twitch stream for launch day. The exact section you mention being "2-3fps" was, in fact, not.
But ok, whatever helps you feel better about yourself.

That's because SOME DEVELOPERS APPROVE IT. Others do not.
FFXIV Online has strict "no mods". You get caught using mods and it's a permanent account ban. No probation. Not all games are entitled to be modded. It is the *discretion of the developer*. Like... How have you not seen this? There are plenty of games NOT on Workshop that do in fact ban accounts for using mods.

Developers don't need to approve mods. You are lawfully entitled to modify your own property, which includes your software.

FF14 doesn't allow modding because it's an online game that runs on 3rd-party servers which you don't own, and the owners of those servers set the terms for you using them. Using modded software on 3rd-party servers can be a violation of their Terms of Service for your usage of their servers. It isn't, however, a violation of your property rights over your purchased software. Your purchase of FF14 software didn't make you an owner of SE's servers for FF14.

It is not at the discretion of developers whether you may mod software you've purchased. It's at their discretion whether they will allow modded content to be used on their own servers. So, they can say that you aren't allowed to run modified content on their servers, and can ban your account from their servers if you violate their terms. But you are still entitled to modify your FF14 software - you just aren't entitled to get to use it on their servers after modding it.

Usage of 3rd-party servers is legally a Service. The software you purchased is legally a Good. A service doesn't transfer ownership to the purchaser when they pay for it. A good does transfer ownership to the purchaser when they pay for it. This is explained in detail, in the first link I gave you about this topic.

When a developer bans an account on their servers, they aren't taking away your ownership over your purchased software. But they are taking away your access to your account on their servers. The servers you use to play an online game with are not your property, even if the game you purchased requires access to those servers in order for you to use it in the way you want to. You own the software that you purchase. You don't own 3rd-party servers that you might need to connect to in order to use your software.

Okay, so after sleeping on all of the nonsensical troll ramblings elsewhere in this game's discussion section (not you, others), I will concede that *visual/graphical mods* are a-okay. If I may clarify, the reason I've grown to have a scepticism against most modding in PC community these days is because of Qhimm's treatment of FFVII (the OG game on Steam), slight visual adjustments or character model textures, sure, cool, but there were also others doing *entire re-writes of the game's script, deleting/removing certain characters and replacing them with entirely "new" fanmade ones*.. Literally *changing the game and its plot/story/narrative itself*. To me, *that* isn't okay. That is a breach of intellectual property and DMCA. *That* is what I was referring to, not the minor character model/skin changes.

You talk about it being a 'crappy port' as if it's a fact when it's really just a minor opinion...the reviews have been pretty positive.

This. Exactly this. The most loudest are always the minority, they're always excessive, over-obsessed (even over a *0.2 frame drop*, which is at least one complaint I've seen crop up..), they're so vitriolic and bitter that they even resort to verbal abuse on the appearance of others, just because others aren't having their issues. They're unhinged and irrational.

You're allowed to do basically anything with your games outside of distributing copyrighted content and making use of trademarks without permission, or, possibly, things that might harm the IP-holder's commercial interests in their IP.

If you want to change a game's script with a mod, you can do that. You can also distribute your mod to other people as a patch to be applied to their own copies of the game. But you aren't allowed to distribute the original game with your mod.

You can also make an entire expansion pack for a commercial game, like The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos is for Gothic II:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1467450/The_Chronicles_Of_Myrtana_Archolos/

You can also completely overhaul a game.

But to commercialise your own made content for another game, you'd require the permission of the copyright-holder.

All of that should be perfectly OK for a mod to do. I can't think of why that should be considered bad. And you'll find mods for all kinds of games that do things like that at www.nexusmods.com

Qhimm's website also states that their work isn't to be used in ways which violates SE's copyright, acknowledging that the mods themselves don't violate SE's copyright:

"Final Fantasy along with any other games mentioned here are copyrighted by Square.

So I suppose you think fanfiction (something that is insanely popular with hundreds of thousands of works for the most popular series) is also bad?

Shouldn't post about community items when half the people who bought the game are not happy with more important issues. Fix your game.

You got a lot of unwarranted self confidence to be using your face as your profile pic when you look like that.

Guys, you should hire the guy behind the Duckstation emulator. Pay him in order to help you to improve the emulation quality. Because the current state of the emulator is = IT SUCKS.

They could've just licensed Duckstation, too.

Could they have? I was looking into it this morning and it looks like they would at MINIMUM have had to include DS's source as well as any changes they made. More problematic is if they also would have had to make all of the game have the same licence.....which obviously would never happen.

This is just what I gathered from a casual search, I could be very wrong.

You "explained" nothing because it's meaningless. I'm 34 and grew up with CC on the PSX, played on the PS2 as mentioned and PS3 every few years or so but first figured since I haven't played it in a while the performance may have been bad on the original... but after going back and checking it isn't.

Now there are videos comparing it out and you can see the slowdown in certain scenery, areas, and you denying it is just some form of denial/mental disease and being vindictive towards others who don't agree with you and have problems with this just makes no sense at all. Are you payed to defend this port or Square Enix? Otherwise as a fan you should honestly just want it to run as the original, unless you have some weird ulterior motive/SE apologist. Like hell FF6 remaster runs great for me and I know people complain about nitpicky things with SE, but in this the performance is a HUGE problem when compared to the OG version.

Mr. Developer,
Please fix CC. I can't even play it. The Desktop I have is top of the line but that shouldn't keep me from playing this game. Also, don't censor the game (at least give the option to censor but also keep the original) please don't change the game.

I bought this game and now I can't even play it because it's a ♥♥♥♥ port. C'mon Square-Enix.....why can't the company do Justice just once when comes to video games. You censor games that don't need to be censored when the focus is on BUGS, CRASHES, FIXES, ETC...these are just common sense stuff...
