Re: Custom Dats causing game to crash

I heard the same thing. missing dat is used for claiming many h/nm not too surprised myself.

It doesn't matter since our nice friends at Archibell just released another plugin that disables SE's new fixes.

More time in the Aery/Dominion watching NA's freakishly claim most of the kings...wow..gg windower people.

You know you don't have to reinstall. Like a person here had already mentioned POL program before signing in, there is a list of options. One of the choices is to Check Files this will check for corrupted or missing files. It should also go through whatever process it needs to restore those bad files, easier and faster then reinstalling the whole thing I think.

Re: Custom Dats causing game to crash

Ill have it installed before I head to work, then just let it update while I'm at work ^^. Besides, My FFXI folder is full of a bunch of crap anyways, it will be nice to reDL the windower and shit too. Now to find a list of the plugins that WORK -.-;; I miss that TP one.

Re: Custom Dats causing game to crash

There is a faster way on doing this. First find the bad .dat file on FFXI where you have in install. IT will take some time if you dont know what your doing. But find the bad files that in FFXI, After you find your Bad file then copy the same file name from your FFXI CD. Have it overwrite from the CD that your copying it to FFXI files. That should fix the bad file. I not sure if it will work but i havent have any problems with it yet unless i missing something.

ROM\17\27.dat
ROM\17\30.dat
ROM\18\110.dat
ROM\18\70.dat

1-17-27.dat Rom/File17/27.dat
1-17-30.dat Rom/File17/30.dat
1-18-100.dat Rom/File18/100.dat
1-18-70.dat Rom/File18/70.dat

You can find that in your FFXI CD Or You can do like Macht say and use that option to find and fix any file

Re: Custom Dats causing game to crash

The File Check will only tell you what files are corrupt (missing), it will not reinstall them.

I had the game crash several times tonight but not because of mod dats, but missing dats.

But even after replacing several dates of ROM 52-52 it keeps coming up as a corrupt file, which leads me to beleive the check file is incorrect. If someone could post the current created date and size for ROM 52-52 it would be appreciated.

Re: Custom Dats causing game to crash

probably not your problem. you need to not be MISSING any .dats. it doesnt care overmuch about corrupted ones.

Re: Custom Dats causing game to crash

there seems to be a problem from file checker, I have a backup from Apr/13/2004 and that 52-52 didn't work. which it was exactly same one that I already had. Ayi is having a friend send the file he has later. Maybe it will check ok. But it seems they made a slight problem with it ^^. Because I did file check aobut 2 weeks ago, and its saying its a problem for me to

Re: Custom Dats causing game to crash

Ok! Got some new info on the problem ...
http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews/news5783.shtml

-An issue where the screen would blackout upon entering Lower Jeuno from Rolanberry Fields.

*This screen blackout can be prevented by entering into Lower Jeuno at the center of the zone line from Rolanberry Fields.

Someone on Allakha talked to a CS rep ... they said that they characters who are stuck in the zone because of this will not be able to log in, the GM's can not move you because you are midzone and trying will cause them to become stuck also. So ... asll we can do is wait it out ... damnit!!!! ...
