Guys, your my only hope...

Re: Guys, your my only hope...

I've had this happen to me before. It was a problem for about a week. I remember crashing out of FFXI a lot, probably because of connection lost. Whenever I disconnect from the internet (lol-dialup) my computer slows down to a stagger for about a minute. If I disconnect while on FFXI, I usually have problems with POL and I have to close it and restart it.

Unfortunately...I don't really remember how I fixed it. I know I didn't update my video card drivers, or any other drivers. I didn't have to reinstall FFXI either. I remember doing the Check File thing in POL (before you even log on, there's a check file button). I think I also defraged then. I haven't seen it since.

I didn't see any mention of reinstalling FFXI (but I'm also really tired), so I'd do that if POL's check file doesn't help.

Screenshots don't do this picture justice. The colors/lines were changing about 5 times a second.

Did Stooky ever confirm which DX version he/she is using? That would help a bit.

Tirrock, the only times I ever had those problems was when I tried to watch anime while seeking. My video card at the time (6600 GT), didn't have enough video ram to do both (only 128mb).

Re: Guys, your my only hope...

I have DX 9c.
The liens on my screen and stuff is way different than Tirrocks error. there like thin liens shotting and moving around the screen and a model actualy disappears and reappears and it is so annoying x.x
And yes this is only in ffxi, no where else do i get this error.

Re: Guys, your my only hope...

Hmm, I had floors disappearing, but not models really.

Edit: When all else fails...reinstall. Maybe reinstall windows. >_>a

Re: Guys, your my only hope...

Re: Guys, your my only hope...

Just checking in... maybe someone knows something.... I cant return my graphics card to see if its a problem with that, my warrenty expired... So... I do not know...
The problem just seems to be getting worse... no lines appear all over my screen...
I just hope I can fix it with out dishing out a lot of money and getting a new graphics card (I am planing on upgrading just not yet.... so if it is the problem I can..) and such, so please if you have any clue please help.

Re: Guys, your my only hope...

it could be several different things, but it sounds more like graphics card is dying or possibly just overheating. could be an overheating issue elsewhere also. unplug pc clean it out good. repeat uplug it first. after cleaning it try hooking it all back up without cover and look at all fans and make sure they are spinning properly. could also be caused by power supply dying as well. also could be a small operating system problem or other software.

Re: Guys, your my only hope...

My computer is not over heatings, so it has to be the PSU, Graphics card, or OS... So Im going to have to do something o.o
But I mean if my PSU was dying I would expect problems in all games and in normal windows... If my graphics card was dying I would expect it every where. I dont know.. more fideling around.
