Look at the icons for the items with some glitched out colors or w/e that stuff is.

OP, mmm I never had this one yet, you tried updating graphic card driver or change settings for the graphic card?

I'm sure more icons have this, could check market board but would take forever, but 4 items in my inv, plus some gear doing it as well which is annoying since my craft lvls are all over the place right now.

Only thing thats changed on pc is i did a virus scan because of a weird thing that was happening with chrome, and a disk defrag...which shouldn't have done this. so I have no idea. >:(

I'm not sure what's going on with the graphics, or how to fix it, but the number of items you have should show up in the Craft Log, once you have select the item to craft.

Also, does hovering over the item show display the item information?

yes, but it's kinda annoying to do that considering on page 5 of my retainer...EVERYTHING IS A BLANK ICON. So while hovering is a temporary solution, I need it fixed. Why does ffxiv not have a file check? yeeshums. >_<

Very weird. Haven't seen that happen at all. Maybe it's your card? I dunno..

Whoa, I didn't notice that. Yeah, what the hell?

my card worked fine up till today so..-shrug-

Check it anyway. Video cards can go out for any reason, or no reason at all.

I would try a reinstall of the game, if that doesn't help, then something is up with your card.

I agree, quite annoying. Unfortunately, I'm not at home, or I would check to see if its happening on my PC as well.

With the missing icons, i would have said bad icon files, but since there is the graphical error as well. It may be like what the others have said. It may be a GPU issue.

Another question though. Does the issue occur for all instances of the same items?

I can't speak about this, but it looks similar to what started happening to me in FFXI (except it did it to my whole screen). FFXI had worked fine for me for over a year, I had a built in crappy graphics card and it just started dying one day and doing that to me regularly. Once I upgraded and got more RAM it fixed itself. I'm going to go with graphics card might be dying or drivers as most likely, I dont think it would be the game itself so reinstalling probably wont change anything.

hq and nq seem to be different icons, cuz nq maplelogs show up fine, but hq it's like PIXEL EXPLOSION. Tried zoning as you can tell, and still have that weird issue...

Oh god...I'm hoping it's a driver issue cuz yeah, I know it's not the game. Reinstalling is a "last resort" kind of thing.

So uhm....it was the driver. ffxiv is back to normal now.
