Have had this problem off and on since I started back up a couple weeks ago, and now it has gotten worse. I have checked to make sure it was nothing on my end (graphics card heating up, viruses, etc...) and everything is in the clear. I still run all my other games perfectly fine, its only MxO having this issue.
Anyway, here is a screenshot of the issue: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/...eenshot7sr3.jpg
Right now it is only happening when I open my inventory screen...before today, it just happened randomly and not enough to worry about. I have tried restarting game and also computer, log back in and issue is still here.
My specs are as follows: Vista 64 Ultimate Geforce 8600GT 512MB 2GB RAM Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2ghz
I tried searching around some for this, but had no clue what to search for so came up with nothing everytime I tried. I found some graphic issues, but those were dated 2005 and were a bit different than this one.
Thanks for any help!
*edit* Silly me to forget the dxdiag! To keep from having to copy/paste, I just uploaded to my servers: http://varrah.com/pictures/mxo/DxDiag.txt

Decided to try logging in again, just for it to be worse: http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/...eenshot8kv9.jpg
Still, other games work perfectly fine (CoD4, LoTRO, and Vanguard), much more graphic intense games.
Oh yes, I did notice this posted (the #2 listed): http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/..._id=36300009145
However shadows are disabled for me. Have actually tried both. Still occurs.
Another edit! Have done full file scans, uninstalled/reinstalled video drivers...nothing is helping 
Edit #3! Or something... It still occurs when opening the Inventory window only...no other windows creates this texture issue. It does occasionally screw up on the textures, but that seems to always be the case with 8 series cards from Geforce from what I have noticed on the boards. But didn't see the "Inventory window screws it up!" post yet (as you can see in my screenshots above, inventory window is open in both, game works fine if I never open it...but I kinda need it! )

(: Worked fine for a month, then just decided to stop? Don't make any sense. If it don't work well with Vista, guess I will have more room on my hard drive again *sigh*
Guess if thats the only reason is cause I use Vista, I will let me friends know to not bother purchasing it, can see 1 reason this ain't very popular (more reasons I am sure, but not working with Vista dont help). Oh well, pretty frustrating and I am not gonna waste my time trying to fix this anymore, I already wasted 5 hours trying to fix it just for a response like that.
Thanks for nothing.
*edit* Guess they better make the inventory window compat with Vista then eh? Considering it works fine without the inventory window: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/...eenshot9fk0.jpg

I give up, not having a good week at all. Apologies for the post above, my crappy week is partly reason for it.
Tried reinstalling and still not working. Guess I will just uninstall it and be done.

The problem is caused by certain combinations of clothing under Vista ONLY. step 1: turn off antialiasing in graphics options (sorry but it causes a lot of problems under vista) step 2: change your outfit. step 3: hope you don't run into anybody wearing the wrong combination of clothing

If you still have trouble, I would suggest contacting GM support through a petition and let him know what you'll need to delete something to switch off your outfit before you do so. So once you do, the GM can check on what was just removed and get it back to you.

Thanks for the response, but the severity of this issue, and the fact that it is so widespread is a really bad indicator for me. The fact that it is still, after all this time, an issue without fix, just makes me think moving on to another mmo might be a better option. Having to worry about what i can, or cannot wear, or what people around me can, or cannot wear, is just too much. Thanks guys.

Unfortunately this comedy of errors is a combination of Windows Vista being needlessly locked down from a security point of view, and MxO having a severe lack of anyboday able to fix all the issues in the World render engine. Face shading Screenshots Anti-aliasing Clothing Textures

I certainly understand your frustration, but I can't see as moving to another MMO will help much. Simply because I have a Vista machine for which *everything* runs sucky, I'm more likely to blame Microsoft. Their own Windows exec grousing about his new "$2,100 e-mail machine" sums it up quite nicely. 
The trouble is deciding which is better: "Moving on to another MMO" or "Moving back to another OS"? http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.c...le_class_a.html

Varrah, I had _exactly_ the same issue just today, right after I loot-acquired and then equipped the Shielded Sienna Ebony Flared Trench (level 50). Immediately after equipping it, I got the exact same graphics you described and screenshotted. No problems with other characters, and same problem on another computer. So a rare subset of coats seems to be creating this problem. I've never had it before. After unequipping it (a tricky procedure) everything was fine. So the glossy black coat in your screenshot might be the problem. Just a thought. The weird thing is, I also got the same graphics distortion Varrah described in the loading area when I looked at the inventory tab or the firsttab, the one for character overview.
