I know this is probably against the ToS and this thread will likely get deleted, but I figured I'd ask anyways.

In this thread there was a discussion about the Christmas tree in Ul'dah frying video cards because of how many layers are used for the leaves or something. The same thing happens for Guardians of the Grove around Turning Leaf.

This morning I decided to farm some keystones because I'm running low and my LS doesn't really do the NMs much anymore. Unfortunately, I'm having the same issue that many others are having, and I really don't feel like frying my card because of it. I'll likely be farming keystones for a while since I've been very unlucky with drops, but that's another story. My GPU usage hits 99%, temps exceed 70c and fps drops to less than 10 whenever I'm around the trees.

As we all know, there is no safe place to farm keystones without having trees around you. I could do raptors, but they're a bit too high to solo effectively. So I'm stuck with having to risk burning out my card just to farm the keystones.

I don't see this issue being fixed any time soon, so I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to .dat swap the tree models for something else like a moogle or something. I'm not very well educated in things like this, so I doubt I could figure it out myself.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm sure others would be grateful as well. I know I'm not the only one having this problem.
