Whats wrong with my Avatars

[PranicVampX]

ever since i started the game everything plays perfect but i have always had ONE problem...the avatars are all messed up i can not see full picture pieces of them are missin like transparent horizontal lines going thru the avatars this is only reason why i havent gotten my smn quest done cause it ruins the fun for me if you have any info on how i can fix this PLEASE let me know

[Ziada]

Sounds like an issue with your video card. Avatars are drawn differently... they're supposed to have a fuzzy glow/blur around them. Have you downloaded the newest drivers for your video card lately?

[Kopopo]

Agreed. Even on my brother's crappy GF4 MX they draw nicely. Also, avoid the drivers that come with your card. Get referrence drivers from the chip-maker's site.

i seem to have this problem too, and i have a GforceFX 5200. drivers fully updated and anything. Still lookin into it though ><

[Alya Mizar (Tsybil)]

Better than even the chipmaker's drivers; Omega drivers.

Omrga drivers doubbled my 3D mark score on my Raedon 8500 All in Wonder, and removed all the unintentional FX from the game.

Double post deleted.

Also, I too have this problem. I was using nVidia's 56.72's and they worked great. Then CoP came out, and whenever I would stand with a wall to either the left or right edge of my screen, and tried turning the camera so that it (the camera, not my character) ran up against the wall, the wall would be sorta grayed. Avatars and myself when invisible still looked fine (I think, can't quite remember, and don't feel like reinstalling old drivers just now ^^;).

I then updated to the 61.77's, and the wall weirdness was fixed, but that is when the Avatars and myself when invisible began showing up with blocks of empty lines in us.

I heard nVidia released even newer drivers since then. Maybe I should check them out.

i got an email from Square today, after i sent them my System Config/progs installed/everything running, and they told me to just DL the 61.77 drivers...still no go. DL'd omega drivers...still no go. So I got a telephone date with Square tomorrow. If all goes well i'll post the results.

This is why I like the PS2 version. Don't have to worry about things like this

PranicVampX what card do you have
and you might want to try the 66.72 drivers there WHQLed
if you get me on irc ill send them too you and the 66.81's as well
both are alot faster then the 61.77's

im running the 66.72's atm on my 6800GT and it works fine but there totaly diffrent from the what the FX cards use but the FX line as a hole is utter crap 5200 is the worst of them all too >.< may be time for some thing else ^^

but thats still odd...

edit: just thought of some thing FFXI is DX8.1 then the FX cards should be ok its just DX9 thay suck tail in

[Chimpchimp]

Ok, the date with Square and me went....well it went. Aparently if you dont have one of the high end FX cards (6800) you're going to have to Downgrade your drivers a bit. Me personally using the 5200. I had to downgrade to driver 56.64. The new nvidia drivers they're releasing are more geared towards the high end nvidia cards. So the drivers are trying to do things the card can't handle hence the problems with visuals. I did however "express" my disatisfaction with having to downgrade. But i just checked. I get total avatars. no blurry screen switching from 1st to 3rd person, and high level graphic skills come in crisp. Just another reason why i love the FX line.

odd, I run a GF4 Ti4600 on one computer with the newest drivers, and a Geforce 6800 GT on the other again with the same drivers, no visualization problems on either. and the Ti4600 is an older card then the FX. though it is a higher end card then the 5200 still...hard to say it might be something to do with the budget card.

i'm sooo with you here voidia. i love not having to deal with all this nasty computer stuff

[Prrsha]

<3 my Ti4600

[Chimpchimp]

FX chips = teh sux.

[Liohs]

ok lets get this right the 6800's ARE NOT FX CARDS

ther the "6 Series"

6 Series
http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce6.html

FX
http://www.nvidia.com/page/fx_desktop.html

its a HOLE NEW chip
NV want to get as far away from the FX's as thay can

there is no such thing as FX6800 its just 6200, 6600, 6600GT, 6800, 6800GT, 6800Ultra, and 6800Ultra Extreme

[Nivez]

the FX series was a joke, my FX 5700 is just barely better than my old Ti4200.... if you look at the benchmarks, the FX5200 was WORSE than the Ti4200....

kinda sad, but im gonna have to life with this for awile.
