Youtube Videos Stop Characters From Rendering

[Obsidian]

I have the exact same problem, and it is incredibly frustrating. While I certainly sympathize, I am somewhat pleased that it is not just me. I have not been able to find any assistance on the internet, and I am not very technically saavy PC-wise.

Basically, for me, while in Windowed mode if I click to You Tube and then back to FF the characters and NPC's all disappear. The only things that I could find to target are worms once they go underground and reappear (though I still can't see them). I have tried resetting all of the configuration controls regarding graphics while in game to no avail. The only thing that corrects the problem is to log all the way out of Play Online and then sign back on, which makes watching or listening to videos impossible of course.

The only possible add-on I have is that this happened to me a few months ago intermittently for a couple of weeks. Then it stopped until just a week or two ago, perhaps with the last update. Or, it may be related to the fact that my hard drive is almost completely maxed as of this same time period. I will try to delete some things to free up some more space...

i would take this opportunity to say HAHA MAC USER! but no, you have a good point. I use a PC laptop and whenever i play a youtube video the colors on my screen get all messed up. Surprisingly, there has been times when someone doing a WS or Skillchain has fixed the colors... weird! either way, restarting PoL is a workaround for me just incase i forget not to go to youtube
