NPC Flicker

[gplourde]

Dont know if anyone else get this but for some reason some NPCs seem to disapear as I move around them. If I target them and try to intereact while they are hiden, I receive a target error like when I target something too far. I get the same effect with the sun while its behind mountains. it flickers alot.

thx

Are these NPC in heavily populated locations? I know some of the Delivery NPC when I'm in Jeuno sometimes will have so many players around them the Video Card basicaly unloads the model and gives me that error.

Otherwise if you are alone and that happens, I do recall some configuartions outside of the game that FFXI has which might fix that. Were they are I don't know, my computer stopped working for the game around the same time I got it on my PS2.

Re: NPC Flicker

Pretty much all NPC are doing it. Its just a matter of moving the camera around and the NPC show up and i can target it. Move a bit more and he is gone again. I'll try disabling SLI and see what happen. It worry me that this behavior could happen at a really critical time and get me killed.

Re: NPC Flicker

Disabling SLI fix it... Seems like there is a problem with NVIDIA FFXI profile or just incompatibility with the driver and SLI... Anyone else using SLI?

I am getting this same exact problem, but with the SLI'd 7800 GT OCs.

I run the exact same thing you run, 2 6800GT in SLI also, but I don't have the problem you have.

Re: NPC Flicker

Thanks to this thread I was able to fix the same problem. Had NPC and Mobs and Players dissappearing and major sun flicker. Turned off my SLI and all back to normal.
