    Another issue '.' "Level Sync Icon"

    Well, it seems to be one after the other for me since I picked up Vista. When I enter a lvl sync party, or come in range of a person that has the lvl sync icon by his name my screen gets all crazy. It flickers the names around, and eventually crashes POL. Any ideas?

    Could always replace the image that the icon is derived from in your FFXI folder? I'm not real great with computers but it seems weird that a real small image would have such an effect, I know I've crashed my computer with real big images but I don't think I've ever heard of small ones doing stuff like that...could also possibly be a corrupt file, could just try a file check through POL

    I tried the file check deal, it didnt find any corrupt files. I recently installed brandsons UI, but I've always used that on my last machine with no issues. Its weird, while I have the level sync icon on and im running, my icon flashing all sorts of icons rapidly, and sometimes glitches my screen before it finally crashes POL.

    Of course I didnt back up the original DATs before I installed the new ones. I did however try install the ones from his site that he tagged as original UI dats. Im not even sure if it has anything to do with his DATs.

    After the 30 secs when I disable level sync, everything goes back to normal with no issues unless I run into a person that has the icon

    I'm a dummy. I did the file check, but only for POL not FFXI. Just did it for FFXI and if found a bunch of corrupt files, it downloaded the new ones and corrected my problem. Thanks for all your help ^.^

    Brandson also hasn't updated his UI in a long time, so the icons for level sync aren't in the files. That's why you were crashing. You need to use the UI that has been taken over by Emiko.
