Version Update: Multiple Crashes?

[Helel]

Now I just went and popped a Glavoid. I engaged on my THF and went to turn around for tp move. On my screen I was turned away but I was still attacking it, no damage in the chat log showing though. Hit disengage, still attacking it. On my alt's screen I was disengaged just standing there. But I was healing it during tp move. Had to /terminate. They really fucked something up.

This happened to me pre-update actually, so I doubt it's the problem. On my screen the THF was completely disengaged, just standing there, but she was doing damage to the gear (was in salvage). I could still see her weapon skills though.

Can almost guarantee this is related to the NNI lamp fuckery.

I thought it was strange I got a temp item box in abyssea last night that had a Twilight belt in it, said it was the pax drink. Also my WHM alt crashed 6 times and I crashed once.(Windows7+Windower)

Spoiler: show

lmao. best spagetti joke ever, after the 99999 cures.

I was thinking more of it having to do with the afk30sec-run-through-you thing, as knowing SE, the timer for that is figured out client-side, then reported to the server. Also got a hunch the wrong item-IDs thing is 3rd-party related. Anyone running vanilla or console that has had the issue?

Crash-wise, had a 6hr Abyssea farm today, neither of my accounts running vanilla had problems, but our 360 user did crash once. Hard to tell if that's due to this ongoing bug, or just 360 being 360, since they always got a little crash-happy on extended visits in one zone.

People have reported the issue on Xbox and vanilla PC FFXI.

I'm more inclined to think that however they went about randomizing the lamp dats has had an unintended side effect on the rest of them. If something is getting shuffled by accident, the dat that gets loaded in its place may not be appropriate, and the client crashes.

That's

not quite how it works

[Forewarned]

Version update to compete with World of Warcraft MoP release - end up driving players away from the game... GJ

[Damane]

I guess they didnt fix the NPC trade crash

Just crashed tradeing seals to Shami NPC

[Mairja]

SE did not fix the crash issue, it's not in the update notes after yesterday's emergency maintenance despite being a "current known issue". You'd think that would be on top of their priority list of things to fix, but apparently this is a lot more important:

[Update Details]
The following bugs have been fixed:

- Monsters that normally drop the “Kindred’s Crest” and “High Kindred’s Crest” are dropping the “Beastmen’s Seal” and “Kindred’s Seal.”

At the following time, a version update was performed on FINAL FANTASY XI.

* Windows and Xbox 360 clients will update automatically upon launch after release of the patch.

[Date & Time]

[Affected Service]
- FINAL FANTASY XI

[Update Details]
The following bugs have been fixed:

- The game may crash when items are displayed in your inventory or in the purchase screen on NPCs. (Windows and Xbox 360 only)

Huzzah. That was sooner than expected.

[Byrthnoth]

They're also fixing Zhayolm with a mini-maint (for only that zone) at 4:30 PST.

[Mairja]

Well well well - fingers crossed etc

i saw the message online, but wtf went wrong in zhayolm?

[tisiphone]

I'm still randomly crashing while casting BLU spells

[Hirronimus]

What the hell has SE unleashed.

Also note that Kindred's/Beastmen seals are dropping off high level mobs now

Was in an exp alliance after the update, the Rock Grinders didn't drop any Kindred Crests at all, just Beastmen and Kindred seals. I know this because some guy needed seals for limit break and had to lot other kinds of seals to convert into crests.

Then the next day I was learning spells on BLU and got Kindred Crests to drop off of mobs in Caedarva.

Edit: Kind of wish they'd keep the Kindred Seals dropping a lot off of higher level mobs. Also two beastmen seals off a single mob was amusing.

Given that I didn't even manage to get to the character select screen before crashing, I'm guessing random crashes is still an issue? Logged in fine at second attempt so don't think a plugin loading caused it. Ot was it pure coincidence/unlucky?

[Furionstormrage]

Crashed shortly after zoning into my Mog House just now, I was updating so it was just on regular SEs windower on PC.
