I stopped playing ffxi for about a month or 2 and then started playing again. Ever since I started playing again I noticed a bunch of little problems with the graphics:
*when pressing numpad 5 to switch to 1st/3rd person view, my character has a lot of lines of transparency going through him as he is fading in/out.
*In the radar, NPC and PC dots show, but the red dots that show enemies do not.
*When NPCs/PCs/Enemies come close enough to enter my viewing radius, they flicker from invisible to visible for a while before becoming stable in my vision, instead of simply fading in as they used to.
*whenever I press numpad 5 when a special graphic effect is in view(spell effect, valkrum beach, home point, etc.) the effect appears over the whole screen in a checkered manner while my character is fading in/out.
*the Carbuncle graphic will sometimes not be visible on the screen, but only his background glowing effect.
I have a GeForce FX 5200....PCI...but my card did work perfectly fine with FFXI before and still works perfectly fine with other high graphic games on my computer...so I know it isnt that my card cant handle it. anyway if you have advice for me id appreciate it. thanks.
