Looks like a common I-fucked-up-dat-swapping bug.

I've seen an osode i was wearing in an exp pt stretch across the entire weapon camp (though it was only my screen) before, reload the character (change EQ/Zone/etc) and you are set. It's happened randomly without changing a single .dat file as well to me.
All I did was swap nin af1 legs with errant slopes![]()
Wow Wafik, I thought I was the only one who got that bug due to messed up drivers or settings or something. Is it a common problem with FFXI or just the result of many, many dat swaps? I'm thinking the former because I've had this happen for years now, long before I started swapping dats around. I've had some hilarious ones such as this;
I got several more saved but I can't be bothered to upload them at the moment, busy wall of justicing a Yovra wwwwwwwwwwww.
I've had that same glitch as Wafik before (and before I ever edited dats). Worst was when it happened to me in DA before, random lines shooting out of everyone in the pit.
I know Wafik and I both use ATI cards, so maybe that's the source of the problem?
I use an ATI card too but I had this happening back when I was still on my GeForce.Originally Posted by Krandor
A lot of the 5000 and 6000 series Geforce's had driver issues forcing DX9 over DX8. Generally upgrading/downgrading drivers or turning off fast-write tended to fix this issue.
Doubt it's anything to do with card make. im using the same card now, and i havent seen that for a while. Usually would get those glitches after patches, and they'd stop coming after emergency maintenances.Originally Posted by Krandor
I get a bug like that every time a Ka/Spector/Shadow/whatever theyre called RNG mob takes out its bow and gets ready to shoot.
Can be a glitch in the game, but also created by an overheating graphics card... Overclocked my card a lot a while back, and it would freeze up for a sec then the textures of everything would be strechted / distorted / relocated.
ATI graphics cards break too easily.

Do you know why? I just got an ATI for my new computer and I don't want it to break within the next 3-4 years ><Originally Posted by Quicklet
I had that problem with my Ti4200, it was so bad in fact that I couldn't walk in sky without following someone else. Switched to an X800 Pro with Omega and problem went away.
ATI is just fineOriginally Posted by Avvesione
That's what I use
