Strange freezing issue, but only with FFXI (new graphics card, driver issue?)

[Zipinferno]

Been using a HD6970 since October and I've been having the same freezing problem. I haven't found any fixes for it and the only way I can play for a while without freezing is to turn off all effects but I still get random freezes.

Hello,

I too am experiencing the same issues that everyone else is having and with similar setups. I am running a 6970 Radeon as well, and have the exact same symptoms. Its sad that SE's stance is 'well we dont support ATI's and its your hardware problem.' There are basically two chipset options in the video card world and they chose not to support one of them????

This is one of the worst experiences of online support from any modern company I've had to endure. First destrier beret, now unsupported hardware (what year is this?) and now to find out that they basically don't have the online resources to support their game. From talking with past players they are basically notorious for their lack of support which makes perfect sense because they used to make offline / single player games pretty exclusively.

Lesson learned.
