Titan Development Log

TitanGambits Settings now has PacketFlow ON and OFF buttons in both Standard and Compact layouts. ON is the default, and your choice is saved across logout, game restarts and switching between Titan and Dynamis. The page separately reports whether the native plugin is actually loaded, so a saved ON preference is not presented as a successful load when the file is missing or loading fails.

Microsoft-signed launcher 1.6.14 supplies the verified Ashita 4.30 PacketFlow plugin by Thorny. PacketFlow is managed by TitanGambits and is not a separate launcher checklist option. Old direct PacketFlow startup commands are removed from the generated startup script so they cannot briefly enable it over a saved OFF choice. A failed load or unload has bounded retries and leaves the rest of TitanGambits working; clicking the choice retries explicitly. Diagnostic launches continue to exclude optional plugins and addons.

PacketFlow changes client network timing to reduce zoning and zone-data loading delays. It does not increase FPS or speed up game-file downloads. Human in-game compatibility and Titan loading-time measurements remain pending, so no speedup percentage is claimed. Update and restart the launcher, then reload TitanGambits in an already-running game. No game server restart was required.

Settings now has matching button pairs for Party TP ON/OFF, Show headgear/Hide headgear and Lockstyle ON/OFF. The defaults are Party TP ON, Show headgear and Lockstyle OFF. These choices save across logout and game restarts and apply when using the same installation for Titan or Dynamis, in either Standard or Compact mode.

The controls use the game’s normal commands. Lockstyle ON locks the appearance currently equipped; it does not choose or restore an equipment-set number. Saved choices are applied after the character loads, and changes made during zoning or a cutscene wait until normal play resumes. Opening Settings does not repeatedly resend commands, and ordinary zoning does not recapture a locked appearance.

The new rows contain only their labels and buttons, with no changing confirmation or explanation text added below them. Successful saves do not add addon confirmation messages; game command errors remain visible. Update through the launcher and reload TitanGambits; no game server restart is required.

TitanGambits Settings now has separate draw-distance sliders for scenery and for players, monsters and objects. Both default to the maximum 300% and can be reduced to 100%. Each percentage scales the original client rendering value captured when the addon first applies the controls. Your selections are saved across logout and game restarts and shared when switching between Titan and Dynamis.

Restore game defaults returns the captured rendering values and disables the custom override until a slider is moved again. Increasing distance can reduce FPS, and entity visibility still depends on updates received from the server; these sliders do not reveal every monster in a zone or change targeting and attack ranges. The controls work in Standard and Compact layouts without changing the saved frame-rate mode.

The rendering controls use the signature and pointers from Ashita’s bundled DrawDistance addon, with bounded settings, pointer and value checks, limited retries and restoration on addon unload. A missing or invalid pointer leaves rendering unchanged and displays an unavailable message in Settings. Update through the launcher and reload TitanGambits; no game server restart is needed.

Frame Rate in TitanGambits Settings now offers Static FPS 30, Static FPS 60 and 30/60 Hybrid. Hybrid is the default and keeps the former FPS 60 behavior: a 60 FPS cap during normal play, 30 FPS during cutscenes and sustained slowdown, and automatic attempts to return to 60. Existing saved FPS 60 choices become Hybrid; existing saved FPS 30 choices remain Static FPS 30.

Static FPS 60 keeps the 60 FPS cap during cutscenes and slowdown. Static FPS 30 keeps the 30 FPS cap throughout. These are caps, so selecting Static FPS 60 cannot guarantee 60 rendered frames on a struggling system. Your selected mode is saved across logout and game restarts and applies when using the same installation for Titan or Dynamis. Both Standard and Compact layouts expose the same controls.

Update through the launcher and reload TitanGambits to use the controls in an already-running game; no game server restart is required.

TitanGambits now offers Standard mode and Compact mode in Settings, alongside the existing frame-rate and collision controls. Standard remains the default. Compact provides a smaller dock, navigation menu and individual panels, with a party-member selector for Gambits. The selected mode is saved through logout and addon reload, and you can return to Standard from Settings or the compact toolbar.

The compact layout adapts the supplied interface package to Titan’s current addon, with gold styling, wrapped labels, independent panel positions and edge snapping. Existing navigation shortcuts still open their corresponding panels. Personal settings remain in the existing protected configuration folder; the update does not replace character data or job sheets.

This is an interface change. Recruitment readiness, job cooldowns, party ownership checks, automatic action controls, weapon-skill modes, server requests and FPS behavior retain their existing handlers. The launcher delivers this update without a game server restart; reload TitanGambits after updating an already-running game.

The Info panel no longer lists Despoil items in a monster’s loot table. The server previously sent Despoil entries alongside normal drops and Steal items; the display response now leaves Despoil entries out. Normal drops, Steal entries and Treasure Hunter comparisons remain available, and actual Despoil behavior and monster loot tables are unchanged.

Visible row counts and Treasure Hunter row references now exclude the hidden entries, and Despoil entries no longer take up the display’s 96-row allowance. This was applied through a server Lua reload without restarting the game server or changing the addon download. Reload TitanGambits once to clear monster information already cached by an open game.

When FPS 60 is selected, TitanGambits can now temporarily switch to 30 FPS during sustained rendering slowdown. After a short settling period, rendering below 55 FPS for two seconds triggers the fallback. Your saved preference remains 60, and Settings shows the current cap and whether performance fallback or a recovery attempt is active.

Recovery waits at least 30 seconds and requires ten continuous seconds near 30 FPS before briefly attempting 60 again. The addon keeps 60 after five seconds at 58 FPS or better; an unsuccessful attempt returns to 30. Repeated failures increase the cooldown to a maximum of five minutes, avoiding frequent cap changes in a demanding area. A steady 30 FPS alone does not show whether 60 FPS is sustainable, so the addon periodically attempts a return to 60.

Manually selecting FPS 30 keeps the cap fixed at 30. Cutscenes retain their 30 FPS override, while loading, missing character data and long rendering pauses reset performance sampling. Routine FPS confirmations remain hidden, and the controller works with Gambits OFF. This changes the frame cap, not hardware capacity, and cannot guarantee smooth rendering when the client struggles below 30 FPS. The launcher delivers the update without a game server restart; reload TitanGambits after updating an already-running game.

TitanGambits 2.4.36 hides the routine FPS addon confirmations for divisors 1 and 2, so entering and leaving cutscenes no longer fills chat with those messages. The saved FPS 30 or FPS 60 preference and temporary 30 FPS cutscene override are unchanged.

Only the two exact success messages are hidden. FPS pointer errors, help, sampling results and other chat remain visible. The update is delivered through the launcher; reload TitanGambits after updating if it is already loaded. No game server restart was required.
