Anyone else have glitchy things like this happen to them?

User submitted image

It may be hard to see, but notice the weird coloring on that strip there? Happens to me pretty much everywhere, especially in tunnel areas, but also in places like Northern Sandy, where one whole quadrant outside the MH will be off in color. Nothing detrimental to the game, just looks weird. I have two ATI Radeon HD4670 vid cards in crossfire if that matters...

So yeah, anyone else notice ***like this? If it was fixed, how'd you fix it? I've got the most current drivers and all that ***...

Sorry I don't have better examples, I'll take more pics as I notice it and post them here if it helps any, this one is kinda shitty...

As for why... not a clue, I've seen it here and there, just assumed its where different sections are attatched in the programming and stuff... don't really pay attention much... sorrrrry XD

I've had weird textures happen ect a few times but i just hit the reset button. Sometimes my game just loaded funny (where serious load problems). I assume thats not the case here.

Maybe its because your looking at a certain spot in the 3D mapping at just the right angle? Programers have a tough job of taking into concideration alot of aspects that we take for granted when we look at, for example a simple wall. Lighting, angles, texture, elements, to name a few.

Perhaps they overlooked something, or your game somehow is missing a file of some sort. I can't exaclty pinpoint it but these may be something to consider.

Happens when I'm shooting with my bow sometimes. I think we were doing MMM and Blazza wtf'd coz it was texture-exploding all over the place. I don't play my RNG enough these days but I remember it used to happen all the time when I was exp'ing it.

Also happens when you're synth'ing sometimes too. All happy lah lah lah OH MY GOD WHAT THE ....!!!

I assume it's just something to do with the server connection to your game and not loading packets of data thus resulting in explosion.

Never seen anything like that in FFXI, all my textures work fine.

I used to have the occasional texture issue as well on 360. Nothign game breaking, but one wall between two others would be unusually lighter than the ones next to it, etc. Also, the game did impolde on me once or twice like Sidi's screenshots. Had to reset my box...otherwise it just seems to be pixels that never got ironed out completely, or combed with a fine toothed brush. It only looks bad, nothing more.

I have a better pic of what happens, would embed it but of course photobucket is down for maintenance at the moment.

Check it out. (That's in Ranguemont Pass)

Anyways, it's persistant, in as much as while I'm in a particular zone, the texture will be glitched regardless of angle, but if I were to zone out and zone back in, it's usually corrected. I also get weird texture's "blinking" and such, where a piece of a wall or something will just flash there and gone depending on the angle I'm looking at it. Those are weird, too...

And it's not anything near as bad as that pic Sidi posted above, it's just an annoyance that I would like to correct for aesthetic reasons.

LOL yeah the whole time that happened I'm on vent and I'm like "What the hell is going on? The floor is on the ceiling..." while everyone else is like "Duuuuuuuuuude, what are you smoking, and where can I get some?" ^^

That was literally the first time it happened, and it was only after I built my new machine, so obviously it's hardware related, but who knows? Stupid *** computers lol

You mean Ranguemont Pass doesn't look like that for everyone? It's always looked like that for me regardless of what computer I'm on, I always just assumed it was *** up UV's (how the texture is placed onto the model) and SE had never bothered to fix it.

My game goes into random, weird fits like that everyone now and then and end up looking like:

User submitted image

Then my game will lock up and I have to restart it completely.

There are also times where the sunlight will lag from dawn, and shift entirely once it hits dusk. It makes the texture in caved areas go HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. I'm not entirely sure how to fix any of these problems unless you just play with your graphics card preferences.

Nope. Definitely does not look like that for me. Once and awhile I see something strange, but nothing this extreme.
