Crashing on Sky Teleporter usage

[Omniblast]

Well eversince the latest and greatest update by SE 9/1/06, I cannot enter SKY.

EVGA GeForce 7950 GX2
Forceware 91.47

Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 Ghz E6700

Corsair XRS PC8500 1 Gig DDR2

Resolution 1280 x 1024
BG Res 2048 x 2048

Not a fresh install of Windows, just slapped in my old hard drive and updated drivers.

I was in SKY earlier last week, on 8/28/06-8/30/06 with my new set up. I went out for Labor day weekend and now I can not enter SKY. (Actually I'm in SKY, but I cannot advance any further past the 1st teleporter.) ROFL maybe SE labeled me as a GilSeller and prevented me from going to SKY.

I can teleport fine, and warp fine. I have not tried the warp tarutaru in Aht Urghan nor have I tried a d2 yet.

Any solutions welcomed. I'm afraid I need to re-install windows & ffxi.
I'm not using Windower. I'm not using any other 3rd party programs except for Fraps. (Screen capture program http://www.fraps.com)

At which point does it crash? As the scene begins, during, or after?

It's not the scene, I get past all that. I get up to SKY, when you run out into the open area, and there is the Flag for the conquest area.

Well right next to that is the main teleporter to the central floating island. It crashes right as I step on it. I see no dialogue pop up asking if I want to use the teleporter.

You must be thinking of the teleporter to go UP to sky, where you turn into a little ball. I make it past that, I make it past the Cerulan gate (sp?) as well.

ffxi closes itself to desktop?

Yes, I get the window error screen, asking if I would like to send info to M$.

Probably a corrupt file. Run a file check through POL, and if that doesn't work, try reinstalling FFXI.


And why the heck are you capitolizing Sky? it's not an acronym...

Re: Crashing on Sky Teleporter usage

Sounds like you could be missing an animation, and the game is closing itself out as a precaution. They programmed that in after people were removing their darter files while camping Fafnir.

If you can remember where else that animation is used you might be able to test it out. I think it might be used in Promyvions, and maybe outside of the crags right before entering Promyvion? I'm not too sure.

Re: Crashing on Sky Teleporter usage

I did some dat modifications to my game by swapping them out, would that have anything to do with it? I've just swapped in the chest flag, and some of my avatars.

I wonder if the chest flag is the culprit? :\

Re: Crashing on Sky Teleporter usage

About the only thing I can think of that has not been mentioned is turning off SLI.
But its more likely your .dat mods or a corrupt file as others have stated.

Re: Crashing on Sky Teleporter usage

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions. I ran the file checker last night, checked all files and it found a bunch of corrupted files (the ones I replaced rofl) and fixed them all. Now Sky teleporter works file. Feel free to close down this thread or lock it. Thanks once again.

Re: Crashing on Sky Teleporter usage

Are you using Azaril's Windower? There was a problem with an older version of the windower that caused the game to crash anytime you tried to do something from an NPC, Teleport, Warp Taru, Signet, etc. This may be it.
