Game Help

[lotmorning]

OK first off not sure where to post something like this so sorry in advance if it wrong spot.
but as of last night my game keeps crashing on me for no reason as soon as i log my char in and he loads i have done a file check through pol and it found 2 files corrupted i hit fix but it still says they are corrupted. Before I uninstall FFXI and have to reinstall it all i was wondering if anyone could tell me what game i have to uninstall if its a glitch within those files (if that is even possible)
crogram Files/playonline/squareenix/final fantasyxi/rom5/6/89.dat
crogram Files/playonline/squareenix/final fantasyxi/rom5/8/69.dat
are the 2 files that keep getting the file check saying they are corupted. By looking at this i'm thinking its the basic ffxi game so i have to uninstall it and reinstall but can leave expansions alone? If anyone can help me i would appreciate it.

Ask someone to transfer you those two dats, replace them and see if it works. If not, sounds like reinstall time.

Those two dats are from the WotG installation.

Anything that has ROM5 as the folder is related to WotG. Is your CD screwed up?

[lotmorning]

i dont think so. it was working just fine (got it friday) have been playing in new zones since then all sudden while running through Vunklet (sp) inlet i just started to get POL errors and ever since lastnight my char logs on for 5 sec i might run few yard type then boom pol error

[Koga]

IIRC (Don't kill me if this doesn't work)
Delete those corrupted Files. Do a file check and let it re-download those files.
In the mean time, have someone else log into your character and move it to another zone, non-WotG.

Log back in and you should be good to go.
I had a similar problem long ago but instead of going back to POL I got a BSoD. Having someone zone me and deleting and redownloading the files worked fine.

[lotmorning]

well everything seems to be working now cept it saying i dont have zilart and ToA installed so going to reinstall them but atleast now i can play game as long s i dont zone into those 2 areas lol
