Are you referring to when you summon an avatar, and they kinda "blink" in and out, and are never quite "solid"? If so, I have the same problem; I bought this Nvidia card cuz my comp didn't have a compatible one. I will try looking into those files, though.

Oh Noes, Tetra Master Server Maintenance, what will I do, and on the only day I have to play Tetra Master all week. Oh wait, I've never even brought up Tetra Master so I don't even know what it looks like.

w, yeah, Tetra Master was one of the reasons I LOTHED FF9. Awful game.

Speaking of updates, When are they actually going to come up with a ver. 2??

All this 1.23.45.e crap is pointless, with all the recent problems I've had with this software with my Graphics card (ATI 9700 256MB) they need to revamp the whole package ><

I have the same graphics card and I have trouble seeing the avatars when the SMN's summon them. It gets really annoying. I want to be a SNM but not until I get a new card, or they fix the patch....and I'M not gettig another graphics card anytime soon.

I had the same problem as well. People told me to use an old driver dating back to April of 2004, but that wasn't even an option for me.

What I did was follow a friend's advice in tweaking the game registry's background resolution info.

Go to regedit and look for the following.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PlayOnlineUS\SquareEnix\FinalFantasyXI

Change the value of Key 0003 and 0004 from 400 to 500.

Not only will it fix the avatar problem, it also made everything look sharper.

Well, I have an nVidia card in one comp, an ATI in another, and a ps2. The nVidia and the ATI have the same issues, while the summons are perfect on the ps2. It's probably due to the migration of the ps2 engine (nix based) to DirectX... So it's not your card. I will say make sure your DirectX is up to date and you have up to date drivers on for you GFX card.

And also to not it's not as bad on my machines as it was back in March...

I use the omegadrivers.net drivers for Radeon, great drivers and no issues.

And they give me a +7 FPS increase over the normal ATI Cats.
