Graphical issues with zones.

[Arcell]

So throughout my time with FFXIV (since launch) I've had a problem while out in any non-city zone where my graphics, for lack of a better term, freak out. By which I mean everything in the game displays but with the wrong color or graphic. Textures turn blue, green or purple generally, icons still exist but use the wrong graphic and text is blurry beyond reading. This is easily fixed by logging out and back in.

This usually only happened once in a while but since 1.17a it has started happening more frequently. I've done 4 gathering leves at Bloodshore since the patch. 3 of those 4 times I have had this issue trigger, once immediately after starting the leve. The 1 time I did finish the leve was when I did not use guardians favor. At no other time is this a common problem. I don't mind logging out so much but now I'm losing leves and guardian's favor regularly.

I am running on XP, intel core 2 quad, 3 GB of ram, nVidia 9800 GT. FFXIV is set to standard or low on all settings.
