Sounds like you can't play the opening movie.

Find an exe file called ffxi config, there is an option which turns off the starting movie, turn it of and restart your computer and try again.

Check your files with the POL viewer, some may be corrupted.

Re: Help Black Screen !

Lol! Youll need to reinstall FFXI then I think. Have you been swapping .dats or something? Thats alot of corrupt files.

Re: Help Black Screen !

i aint swapped a thing lol and i reinstalled FFXI like twice but had same problems

Re: Help Black Screen !

Sounds liek a format of your computer is needed, as obviously something on it is corrupting those files.

alos when you update you version with the full uopdates i.e. 3 hours downlaod install etc has it ever crashed during this as that sometimes corrupts your files.

You do realise you have opened 2 threads on this. I suggest a mod merges this with the other one here
