While playing FFXI, it randomly crashes alot. I have no idea what the problem could be.
Any info would be appreciated.

try reinstalling? or checking files?
1- Does it crash anywhere else? (especially another game)
2- Update video card driver
3- Do a check file on FFXI using PoL
4- Antivirus/antispyware scan
5- Window scan
6- Format
7- Change your ram/video card
8- PC aren't for you, get a xbox360
Stop running your HAX Squirt.
lol j/k mang... calm down. Don't start frothing at the mouth.
Is your AntiVirus app actively scanning on your PC? Any other background apps running? Go to task manager and close anything using a large amount of memory.
Or are you on a PS2?
Do you have a dat removed?(seriously)
POL's been crashing on me as well. I've never changed/removed any .dat's or used any third-party stuff other than windower. A few other people I know are getting crashes too, and we all use windower.
Edit: None of us had this problem before the April patch, using 3.21.
It's occasionally crashing on me too, no dat's changed or anything out of the ordinary. Windower 3.22 (works perfect in every other way.) Sometimes after /logout and switching to a mule it will just crash after like 2 minutes. It won't crash immediately, always a pause after I switch to a mule.
Nvidia drivers, i'm a AV and defrag whore, shouldn't be either of those either. idk squirrels, i think it's just a random bug atm. usually if I'm crashing it's easy to figure out why but there's been something wierd in the water the last 2 weeks.
edit: for the above poster, this definately didn't start when 3.22 came out, it was awhile after, i don't think it's windower related really but hard to be sure
no dats moved or changed or deleted did PoL File Check+FFXI nothing running anti virus now don't wanna reinstall FF =(Originally Posted by Palin
I forgot to ask, what kind of crash reall? You must get an error or something?
I get this too, but it only crashes immediately after i log on, maybe 25% of the time. If it doesn't crash in those first critical moments, I can go for days and I wont have the problem again. This again affirms my belief that you should never log out of FF, because getting back on can be such a pain in the ass.
If by crash you mean "You slow down to the point of freezing then the screen goes black" i got the same thing, and i'm on Ps2, thought it was kind of wierd because nothing like that has every happened in the past 2 years lol.
"Windows has noticed a problem in pol.exe, we must terminate this program." then it asks if i want to send an error report or notOriginally Posted by Kaylia
Youre better off just reinstalling..
mines done this a few times, too. updated virus/spy etc. seems to only happen in the new areas/towns
Mine just closes, no prompt or anything. It happens to me a lot in ToAU areas. I'll be walking along, hit that lag that occurs when a group of mobs comes into model-loading range, and suddenly I'm looking at my desktop.Originally Posted by Squirrels
my POL only crashes under certain conditions
a) Internet with a movie file playing (not flash, youtube/google vid is fine, but a .wmv will crash pol) This crashes both AOL and FFXI for me.
b) AIM, if someone logs in and the window for it pops up as pol is loading, it'll crash.
That's been happening to me too over the past few months. Never happened before Square broke Windower and we had to wait an age for it to be repaired but whether it's an issue with that or just a coincidence I don't know.Originally Posted by Lordwafik
same, OR the application running the .wmv crashes.Originally Posted by Russta
