FFXI and Vista

[Meatproduct]

I'll be getting a new PC with Vista at the end of the month, and the site I'm ordering the PC from doesn't seem to have an option for having XP built in.

Does anyone have any idea/predictions as to when FFXI will be made Vista-compatible?

SE will likely post it on the website as soon as it's available. For all we know it could be a part of Wednesday's update.

Re: FFXI and Vista

The windower site has a fix(may or may not work):

1. Install Playonline from the original Van'diel Collection DVD.
2. Copy a previously updated Playonline folder and replace the existing install.
3. Delete the Patch.bak file
4. Run Playonline and it will check all files and then reload.
5. Install FFXI + ROZ + COP from the Original Vana'diel Collection DVD.
6. Install TOAU from it's DVD.
7. Make sure to tell polboot.exe to "Run in XP SP2 Compatibility Mode" and to "Run this Program as Administrator". To do this Browse to the Final Fantasy XI install directory and right-click on polboot.exe and choose properties. Click on the Compatibilty Tab, and check off the Appropriate boxes as described above, or see (Fig A and B).
