Direct link to 8/31 update files

[zephr]

idk a lot of people seemed glad that I put this up for the patch in June, so let's try this again.

Thanks to Hezzel of Cerberus for putting together the files. <3

If you don't know how to manually install this, you probably shouldn't be playing around with the .dats in the first place.

[Kalisa]

Thank you. Update servers are being god-awful right now. <3

Also, just in case anyone is wary, MSE says it's clean.

[MaachaQ]

If only I can download patch.txt and get a file check done, maybe I'll be able to log in finally...

[Djams]

one simple and beautiful word : THANK YOU to help those pathetic retard of SE dev.

[Leolai]

Not working for me. Extracted to my playonline where ROM folder would go to ROM and selected extract and update files. Tried to log in and still trying to make me update w/ 782 files remaining

Mine worked fine, had to retry a few times to download patch.txt and 1 other file, but after that it let me right in.

It is extracted as 2010-8-31 folder that contains the ROM folder. You have to take everything inside that ROM folder and move it to the original ROM folder.

Edit: Shame on me forgot to say thanks. Thanks alot!

Yea I know, I bypassed the 2010 part. double clicked that and highlighted the rom folder and extracted that.

[Kalisa]

Depending on your unzipper/unrarer/whatever software, it probably still extracted the extra folder even though you "bypassed" it. Just unzip the thing to your desktop and copy/paste the ROM folder where it's supposed to go. It's not rocket surgery, and there are at least two people (MaachaQ and I) telling you it worked fine for them. Ya done fucked up, son. ;D

[Cream Soda]

Nope, it didn't extract it anyway. There's no 2010 -8-31 folder within my rom folder. It was put in the right place, but it makes no diff anyways. After I did it went from a 3hr download to a 30 min one, which started after my first post here, aka 8 mins to go

So... Program Files -> Playonline ->Square Enix -> Playonline viewer -> ???(then where?)

Seem to get lost after that, I am no wizard with .dat changing but I have swapped around my share of gear .dats so I am not completely stupid

[Kalisa]

Playonline viewer

This is where you went wrong. Are you trying to update the Playonline Viewer, or are you trying to update Final Fantasy XI?

[Nemesio]

I hate my life. >.>

[Yabby]

LOL i was about to answer him.... but i thought i was getting whooshed.

[Nemesio]

I blame it on the lack of sleep... Although I don't think that is a reasonable excuse in the FFXI community anymore.

[Yabby]

Worked perfect thank you!!!!

[Elizara]

Worked wonderfully for me. And I thought I was going to have to fight the updater today. Thanks. :D

Accidently got the full folder in there to begin with but I went in and cut and pasted the rom folder that landed in my FFXI folder to the proper place. I hope I never ever have to do that again tho. In my mind this kinda thing is a touchy business.

[Shenrien]

thank you very much!
