Resolved Issues
Aside from the aforementioned balance changes, the Patch 6.08 update also resolved several Final Fantasy XIV Online issues.
According to Attack of the Fanboy, it fixed an issue that causes audio crackling and stuttering under certain conditions. If the said audio issue still persists once the said patch update is rolled out in the game, players should disable the DualSense / DualShock 4 option for their controllers by accessing its Settings.
It also fixed the issue within the battle against the Proto-Omega in the Stigma Dreamscape dungeon that caused the Guided Missiles and Chemical Missile to not select targets correctly.
The patch update also resolved the issue that causes the Ninja Class's Phantom Kamaitachi and the Scholar Class's Consolation to be dragged from the Actions list in the Actions & Traits menu, while it fixed an issue that causes the effect of the White Mage Class's Thin Air to be not applied to instant cast spells that were executed immediately after casting it.
It also fixed the issue that causes the Reaper Class's Arcane Crest not granting the Crest of Time Returned to any party members that are further than 1 yalm, or 1 yard, away, as well as an issue that causes the Dance Pole item to be sold to the non-playable character (NPC) vendors.
However, the patch update saw an issue within the Immerse Spatial Audio setting after enabling it. Setting the said equalizer to Voice Boost causes the audio levels to be lower than other equalizer settings.
It also recognized another issue that caused the Jumbo Cactpot to display how many times the players would draw in the said in-game lottery.
