Last thing installed: latest update for FFXIV

Now, my problem is that my main toon is causing FFXI to crash to desktop (Only pol.exe, NOT Windows) at a certain spot around the pools in Rabao and in East Altepa around the OP there. I attempted to install the latest nVidia drivers, but that program ALSO crashed right at about 99%. While I *can* play without going to Rabao, I don't want to have to play the game permanently avoiding certain areas of the game... Any help at all would be lovely. Thanks!

If it's only specific areas, I would do a file check in POL.

Just tried that with the exact same results. The error message that pops up reads: "PlayOnline Viewer has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program." Below it are two choices: Top Choice- Close the program. Bottom Choice- Debug the program. I've then got to Alt-Tab before I can click on either, as I play fullscreen.

Choosing "Debug" brings up "Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger". Then after having to forcably close pol.exe from the Task Manager, a dialog box pops up "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in pol.exe [5492] (Note: this number never changes!) The Just-In-TIme Debugger was launched without the necessary security permissions. To debug this process, the Just-In-Time debugger must be run as an Admin. Would you like to? [Y/N]"

This leads to another box: "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in pol.exe [5492]. Just-In-Time debugging this exception failed with the following error: The process ID is invalid. [OK]"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update on this: I tried updating my nVidia drivers and just as it reached 99%, it stops working and the Debug/close error box appears again.

[hey]

The real answer is that there is absolutely no reason to ever go to rabao anymore, so it doesn't really matter.

Have you changed anything in windows recently? Did you ever have this problem before? Is this the first time you've gone to rabao on your current computer? What did your last post mean? The driver install failed? If so, have you tried to install it again? And did you completely remove your previous drivers first? Have you tried reinstalling ffxi?
