I'm having or had the same issue, it went away when only using one video card.. Really disappoints me when i got a descent system and cant play a directx 9 game in max settings.. I have to run everything on standard, no aa, windowed, forced vsync, and turned on triple buffering and i get very playable game at 55-60fps out in the world..

My system:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 b55 @ 4.0Ghz
RAM: 4Gb DDR3 @ 1600Mhz
VIDEO CARD: 2x AMD 5770 @ 900Mhz/1300Mhz
HARDDRIVE: 2x 500Gb @ RAID-0

Funny thing is i know they will fix these issues when they can, it just gets on my nerves. I can play any game on maxed out settings i throw at this system and i get issue with a new but old directx 9 based game..

Well, did you try to change the multiple video processing unit mode? There's always one that works without graphical issues... it won't be the fastest one though.

I run an HD 6850 I get the small tear/distortion flicker when I go up and down stairs or some bumpy terrain. Forcing v-sync from CCC does not resolve this issue. I assume I would need to force a higher refresh rate because bumpy terrain = shaking camera and thus causing it because the screen isn't being refresh quickly enough. Sad thing is I have a 2ms response time monitor as well.

Also note this does not occur in windowed mode. It is something to do with full screen mode, I would run windowed mode... if it didn't cause a random crash now and then.

Last, forcing v-sync made things a bit more choppy. Your better off dealing with the tearing lol.

It happens to me in windowed mode as well as Swev, who posted earlier, can also confirm.

For some reason windowed mode doesn't get the tears for me, but I get a lot of the crashes in it.

gigabyte gtx460 1gb oc edition here.

gone through 2 monitors at the moment and i have to say i get this line occasionally too.

thing is, i only started to notice it after patch 1.18. never say it before then.

i have played with different settings, forced this, disabled that, increase option 2, decreased option 227 and so on and so on.

essentialy, and although some people have reported fixes, its a game issue. There is nothing wrong with your hardware, nothing wrong with your software.

This is a problem that SQUARE ENIX (yes, you lot that call urselfs devs) needs to address.

The fixes that some people are reporting are simply covering up a different issue. however, try the "fixes". if it hides the symptoms for you brilliant. but if it doesnt, we'll have to keep onto squre enix bout this.
