Well ever since the last update i cant even walk 30% at and away from jueno mog house or POL and FFXI shuts down to windows in a second after i step in that area. I end up having to log on FFXI with my cheapo computer to move anywhere in that area.
GM of course are usless unless you're stuck in a glitch. All he can do is to tell me to update my radeon 9200 drivers, which pretty much didnt fix the prob. plus makes my POL run in some type of dithered mode and runs about 1/3 the normal speed.
Another glitch ever since the monday update was when i used the XP bouns ring. My character turned to a straght polygon shape character with no skins with a gray color, with than extra land/ground layer about where my waist would be on screen with another color.
And an old prob i had that started a few months ago, while not having the same prob before is when i enter sky with sound enable. the game slows down with delay as i can see things slowed down and i can here sound from end battle like 1 min later. My other friend had that prob i told him to try what i did: disabling sound and it works for him too... to weird since i never had that prob before. i guess SE fixes one prob to make another come up.
I'm guessing SE wants ppl to use 3rd party tools just to F..ing play the game =(

I had this problem i know how to sort it without disabling sound:
The sound file for SKY is corrupt (Although this will not show up on the ffxi/pol file check):
Go to Program files/playonline/Finalfantasyxi/sound2/win/music/data:
There is a file called Music210. That is the sky music. Cut and paste the file anywhere on your pc so that you still have it should there be a problem, (i never had one)
Then you can either leave it like that (you will have no background music for sky but battle music etc.. will still be there)
OR
Choose another music file from a different area COPY and paste it into a different folder and rename it Music210.bgw then cut and paste the renamed file back into the folder which you removed the original music210.bgm.
Here are some which might seem useful (I used VeLugannon palace)
Music211.bgw Ro'Meave
Music207.bgw VeLugannon palace
Music190.bgw Sanctuary of Zi'Tah
Music180.bgw Chocobo (short version) <- LOL (not sure if the music will repeat but it would be funny)
There is something i would like to test but never got round to trying and that is have someone who has a WORKING sky music to email me a copy of their music210.bgm file and try that.. Theoretically it should work perhaps you could try this instead of replacing with a copy of another areas music.
Edit: I was left with the same conclusion as everyone else that had this problem (To disable sound/soundcard) So i decided to fix this myself so 0 credit to Squeenix tech support monkeys for being Too Weak.

More times than not, whenever I'd call wyvern or call beast, it would say the owner is somebody else, rather than me... didn't change anything, was just kinda silly lol
I was in onzozo fighting torama last night and summoned my wyvern.. it said it was owned by some lvl 16 rank 2 rdm in korroloka tunnel lol

Last night my party was fighting Steelshells in the Tree when suddenly the mob's name changed as though it was claimed by some other person - I couldn't attack it. Then, a few moments later, it changed back.
I think it had to do with out PLD having connection issues, though.
But it was odd, nonetheless.

{Invisable}{Carbunkle}(sp?) in a pt outside Kazham but I was the only one that could see it, only the name was there.

OP, i have the same prob as you did with the 9200 pol 1/3 speed and crappy-ness... how did u fix it!?!?!
Yeah, Carbuncle occasionally summons up invisible to me, but that has happened months before the update.
My main monkey is that for some reason since the update, in all item descriptions the level requirement and jobs that can use aren't displayed x_X and my NPC's health bar won't display.

doing CoP 2.5 last night, after exiting the battle unsucsessfuly once, i lost a lot of sound effects, but some were there, then it happened to our PLD, but once we go back in, it's fine, and come back out again, it's fine....
just a little hiccup or something...but to the OP, sounds like your video card is possibly going out on you

I have had the same thing happen to me, but it only happens in the Windurst/Giddeus/Sarutabaruta areas.
I'd be running around and some purple/grayish triangles keep dancing in front of me. I can't get it to stop >< It's the worst in windy woods, but it only happens in those four areas (windy, giddeus, and east and west saru). It happens to my mule too, so it can't be my character. It's not causing me any other problems other than being a niusance to watch.
EDIT: Ok, my error wasn't EXACTLY like yours, I misread your post. My character didn't turn into a polygon per-say, but polygons were dancing in front of me.

Not trying to make accusations, but if you altered, swapped, or removed any .dats (took out wyverns, changed assault jerkin to Adaman hauberk, recolored the maneater axe, whatever) the game will crash when they try to load. IE, if you removed wyverns you'd be fine until you walked past a dragoon who pulled his pet out and boom, crash. This is the most common cause for what you are experiencing.

This annoyed me to no end. I understand *why* they did it, but it was a bit of a pain...I had to restore my boring old Moogle again. No more kupo'ing Garuda.
Weirdly it took something out of the game for me...I used to have a ton of fun ******** with DAT files. For a while all the DRG wyverns were Shadow Dragons...then for one hilarious night I swapped out Refresh with Meteor.
The lag was terrible, but it was all in good fun. Now I have to color in the lines again. ._.
The other night I was in a party and we did a skillchain. The NIN did a Blade Retsu and the sound that it made got stuck on my computer!! It kept playing it over and over and over and there were no other sounds but that one freakin sound. It was creepy but soon after my computer just froze up completely :(
I'm not sure what happened but this happened right after the update and I've never had sound problems before. When I logged back on the sound was ok. /shrug
