Re: Video Card and Screen Problems thread.

I'm using the latest Catalyst Drivers from ATI and I've tried using various ones. However it still has this graphical glitch. My video card is an ATI Radeon 9200 more precisely, an XTASY Radeon 9200 SE 128 MB Video Card by Visiontek and powered with ATI Graphics. Only other difficulty at times would be with some transparent objects not acting transparent. Any help would be appreciated. According to SE they've recently increased compatibility with FFXI and Catalyst Drivers 5.13, I'm wondering if I should downgrade my drivers to that or not. Thank you.

(Sorry the picture's so dark, I didn't realize how dark it was when I took the snapshot a week ago.)
My first PC I used for FFXI had a ATI 9200 AGP and it seemed to have alot of glitches with it. My Playonline screen when updated to new drivers would pixelateish and run slow. If I used the drivers that came with the card it would be fine. When I changed that card to a evga 6600GT AGP, I had none of these issues. It seems that the SE does not keep up with current drivers or even compatibility to new cards like they should. There supported drivers are usually a couple of version's lower. I just built a new PC with a MSI 6800GS and now I get this sort of screen flickering both on my LCD and CRT (only in some areas, not all). Playing with all the setting and still cant fix the problem. No issues with other games I had so its a FFXI thing. I hope this helps.
