Animations and sprites missing

Hello, I've recently stumbled upon disappearing attack and skill animations (summon, ruin, etc.. but bio is working and probably the only one working) and also disappearing sprites (mostly the elementals, water sprite, fire sprite, and some shadow like thingy in the dungeons) I tried adjusting all settings, made them into default, restarted my computer but to no avail. It's pretty frustrating because of the unseen enemies (when there's a water sprite, it's like transparent stuff with a name on it)

I had this issue a few days ago, and restarting fixed it. But this time I've tried it several times and still doesn't fix itself..

Here's an example, notice how the round things around me disappear. I do have a little animation though which is a red light below my feet for ifrit and yellow for titan, but no round things.

Sounds like you need to reinstall the game, maybe some data got corrupt.

Bump, any other recommendations? Does the game that come with the CD needs any major patch? Because I'm running on a 100gb internet and it's almost run out, so would prefer if I don't have to reinstall.. Btw my client is the one from early access. It actually worked perfectly just a few days ago but it happens so randomly and once it happens, I can't fix it.
Thanks!

This is what happens if i fight any sorts of sprites

Bump! Sorry

Bump~ again

Same problem. Cannot see Sprites. Is their an in-game option to turn them on?

Bumping this to get more attention. Help please!

I'm also having this problem.

Has anyone had this issue and fixed it?

Bumping this up~ Please help!

Should I contact customer support instead?

I think you need to put this in bug report forum. It seems there are a few of us with the same problem. I've seen multiple post. I made a post in the in-game bug section earlier, if you want to try bumping my post:

Hey guys, I've fixed my problem. The way I fixed it was to log in on a different computer, and then log back in to your original computer. I still have no idea what caused it, but at least it is a quick fix.

Really? That sucks cause I don't have another computer to put FF14 on. There is a maintenance today so maybe that will fix it. ^^ Let me know if your fix lasts.

The sprites and animations work for me. I wouldn't say that the issue is your game data, because the data gets checked every time it is used. Are you on PC or PS3? You might have a graphics problem that is preventing the rendering of higher level animations, or a setting that is disabling them.

I'm on PC, using a Radeon 4870. Not sure about any option that may be disabled. I have catalyst on the default setting and the drivers are up to date.

Got it working! Well i just downloaded frameworks 4.5 and installed it. After that is done, I ran the windows updater and check for update. After all the frameworks updates finished it will ask for a reboot. Logged into FF14 and everything works great! I can even put my graphics back on High with no lag now. =). My cut scenes used to freeze for short periods of time, but that's all fixed now too. =) This feels like a whole new game. Super excited! Hopefully this can help some others too. ^^
