PlayOnline Viewer Update (Jun. 20)

[Guyverarmor]

I updated FF and POL on both desktop and laptop with windower running, and fine over here....must have the JP button installed or something >_>

[Daveys]

anyone having problems with Windower 3.4 and Recast plugin? Whenever I loadup Recast I get a error saying that POL has to shut down and if i want to report the bug etc.

What you guys think Internal Specification means?

I recently reformatted and reinstalled FFXI (after finally getting my account back! WOO!) and had this issue after updating. I think I did it through Windower. I just rebooted my computer and it worked fine afterwards. I've never had issues with updating through windower in the past, but I think I"m going to avoid it just because I'd never seen that error before.

Restarting fixed it, thanks.

I'm still using windower 3.3 and nothing's broken by this update.

Ofcourse i'm late to the party, but uh... the error was pretty obvious. It was telling you "Cannot move updated files". POL updates some files that are normaly in use while POL runs, so it can't simply overwrite them inmediately. For that, you need to restart POL and that's when the new files will actualy take the place of the old ones. Because you were already running an instance of the game when you ran the update (which btw is obviously not supported by the game itself, so that should've been your first guess...), when you tried to run POL again and it tried to overwrite the updated files, it simply couldn't. Some of them were likely in use. Just shutting down both instances of your game should've been enough and if not, rebooting would obviously work since it would unlock any opened system files.
