Invisible Ifrit !

[Laughlyn]

Ok im not sure this is related to my PC or game at all, becasue it happens randomly.
Not always thou.

But during the Ifrit fight in Hard Mode, sometimes Ifrit goes invisible and
i cannot target him or even see him, i can see his attacks and a
few seconds (6-12 seconds) later he usually repops.
(thats about the time im dead on the ground by the way)

Thought i report this either way since it dosent happen during Dungeons,
regular open-field battles at all.

My best guess would be 1 out 6 fights with ifrit he sometime
goes invisible while charging around or doing other attacks.

Maybe it has happend to someone else too.

My PC isnt bad at all, so i doubt it's causing any problems.

PC:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE
GFX: ATI Radeon HD5830 (XFX)
RAM: 4 GB RAM
FPS: FPS during Ifrit Fight: 30fps (constant)
Playing Location: Sweden (Europe)

I had this issue once too. It simply vanished...i only knew where it was because i never removed the lock...also, i've seen this happening to players too...you can't target, you can't see...but they are there...you can see their dots at minimap and the casting animation appears normally (we just see the purple light floating)

Aye its really annoying because i have to voluntairly oust myself
from the party & get replaced each time this happens.

And i dont want to waste mine or my LS party's time if this keeps happening.

Similar problems. I think it has to do in part with my high-speed dsl being downgraded currently since it'd under maintenance.
