Hello, I have Windower4 installed with several addons including Dressup and DgVoodoo. I’m not sure what is causing this, but I am seeing several NPCs and players with some or most of their armor gone (for example, I will only see a pair of floating shorts where a character should be, or they will be totally invisible). Does anyone know which add on or setting might be causing this? I only noticed it after I got the previously mentioned ones as well as the HD textures. Thanks!

I'm no tech guy, but that sounds like the problem itself.

I think you may not have your .dat in correctly, or the update messed them all up.

Let me clarify a little. This was happening before and after the update, so it isn’t specific to the latest update. I do have XIPivot running. I followed all of the instructions from the ‘Make FFXI Beautiful in 2020’ YouTube video. Let me specify, it happens randomly, I can zone out and back in and someone that was almost completely gone except for gloves floating in midair will be back 100% when I come back. The same texture will load or not load seemingly randomly. I am using an SSD (there was a theory from NextGames that maybe the textures aren’t loading before the zone loads).

I checked my DGVoodoo settings. Under the DirectX tab, when I choose my path to the Playonline folder, the video card option is set to dgVoodoo Virtual 3D Accelerated Card, but the VRAM always defaults to 256 MB. When I set it to 2048 MB and apply and save, it is always set back at 256 MB when I open it back up. Could that be the issue? I always check to make sure it is set for the Playonline path when looking at this.

try running DGvoodoo as administrator, might be why your settings are not saving

I think that did it! I ran it as administrator and it let me change the VRAM to 2048 MB and it saved and kept it. I ran around where the usual suspects were (zoned out and came back a couple of times) and no players or NPCs were missing any body parts. Thanks everyone for the comments!

i don't run voodoo and had that issue with certain body pieces because of a dat mod.
