    This exact same thing happens to me aswell, and at least 2 other people I know, have experienced the same thing. First noticed it quite some time ago, well before the last version update.

    This down was carried by the winds of Vana'diel. Some people breathed it in and contracted Phoenix Downs Syndrome. Some of those people post on this very board.

    The effect I get is a band across the middle of the screen, maybe a couple of inches or so high. It looks like the 'heat haze' is somehow being mis-rendered, instead of a 'shimmer' over the whole screen it's reduced to this banding effect. I'm pretty sure I've seen in it Altepa too but can't be sure as I've not been there too often since the update which caused this (some weeks ago).
