I will be playing ffxi and without warning I will lose video on my monitors. No notification of a crash, no error message other than POL crash, nothing. Its like someone unplugs my monitor from my computer and immediately plugs it back in.
This issue only happens in ffxi. I can play any other game and not have this issue so I do know that it is not related to a bad video card or a bad driver. I also had a video card temp sensor running and it is stable at 73c. (a bit high but nothing extreme)
I finished up yesterday playing eve online on three screens for over 14 hours and the only crash I observed was a node crash from the server kicking everyone off that was in that system. This is a brand new computer and is working beautifully, however the issue comes when I try to play ffxi.
I have read other threads stating the issue was caused by newer gtx cards playing ffxi. Ive read about disabling nvidia hd audio, graphics stabilization, turning off weather effects and shadows, even reinstalling ffxi. Nothing seems to help. Has anyone had this same issue happen to them, and what did you do to fix it? Outside of buying new hardware I am ready to try just about anything.
