    Registry Key Does Not Exist?

    So I got the game off Steam and for the past few days been trying to tweak the graphics. But every time I try via Windower GUI I get this.

    As you can see I'm trying to play it on 1600/900. And when I hit 'OK' and the game loads its not too pretty. The names of mobs are blurry and it looks like nothing was changed. Any way to fix it? Or tweak it better?

    Are you running a 64-bit OS? If so, you need to check the box there in the Windower Settings section for x64.

    The reason why is that the 32-bit apps have their own section of the registry (wow6432node), so it'd need to know to look in there.

    This. Also, you may need to adjust the aspect ratio within FFXI. Think it's Config>Misc.

    Also make sure you login once completely without windower. Some keys for FFXI are not created until you login successfully.

    Thanks everyone. I got it to work and it looks amazing!

    Another question, since I got this game through Steam would I be able to alter dats? I can't seem to find the actual FFXI folder by itself but found it in the steam folder. So not sure if it'd still work if I change dats in there. ><

    Games installed via Steam will be put in the Steam folder (usually the Steamapps folder in the Steam folder), but otherwise should be pretty much normal. You should be able to swap dats.
