  • could this work for the update?

    if someone was to get a copy of the 1000ish files for the patch and put them all into the correct spots and overlapped current ones. would it then accept them so you dont have to download them and only have the pol viewer install them? or would this not work?

    well seeing how we can back up FFXI by copying the entire folder, i think that will work. especialyl if you have multiple FFXI installed on multiple PCs only 1 will need the update

        you have to find out what files are and download from trusted sources.

        Just rough it up a few more hours, and the rainy day will be over so to say.

            the way i do is copy everything onto my external hard drive heh. for updates it will be tough. you can probably use window's search and search for only new files perhaps.

              Using Window's Search to search for new files does work. I did it on the last update to listen to the new sound effects.

                yeah :O that would work? but of course you need a trusted person and a way to get each into right file. unless its like 1-100.dat goes in file A while others go in file B

                  It does not work. I've tired it before with formatting my computer... ;-;

                  You can try messing around with the patch.ver file though I managed to have 2 different installs of POL/FFXI (JP/NA) using the same files but different patch.ver files.
