    Strange Update Errors

    Friend of mine updated his NA version before his JP version and a whole lot of weird stuff started happening when he logged onto it.

    If you can't tell he is being hit as if it were 100fists. And he saw it say that "Jurek is under the weapon's control". After logging in and out a few times it fixed itself too.

    Does he goof around with dats?

    I remember once copying the dat folder with one normal one and one modified one. One got updated and one didn't. When I tried to switch them, every NPC didnt work properly. They all had someone else garbled text and choices that were non existant. Never tested that on enemies though.

    He doesn't mess around with .DAT files. I guess he had a bad install on the update because he has both the JP and NA FFXI.

    My harddrive gets "HDD Error" a lot when I try and download updates, basically I have the most fucked up .dat files ever (thanks to my fk'd up harddrive). Whenever I download a new patch, NPC's are named funny things, and the people who offer chocobo's and airships say things like "You're not fenrir!". If the .dat files get corrupted, it can really affect gameplay.
    The trail markings to enter dynamis would say "Carbuncle" instead, and it would give me error messages if I tried to cast certain spells or when mobs attacked me.

    Bottom line: .dat files are nasty. I've had to singulary replace them all thanks to a very good and patient friend willing to burn entire folders of FFXI for me.

    IF you get errors like this, run check files from the play online menu, but even that won't catch them all. Most of the corrupted files appear to happen in ROM2 btw... just a pattern I noticed.
