    Xbox FFXI

    I mainly play FFXI on PC but sometimes I use my Xbox360 if i want to play on my TV. So I update my Xbox360 with the new dashboard a required update. So I thought maybe I should see if FFXI still works with this new interface they have. Now I pop in my FFXI disc and sure enough it won't play and the even start or do anything. Gives me an error that I should download the game again.

    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Looks like NXE broke FFXI. MS better patch the NXE to let FFXI play, don't they test this stuff.

    I had no problem starting up FFXI after downloading NXE.

    When i clicked the "install game" option for POL it wanted to install 3+ Gig on the HDD again, even though the POL (as well as the game) already is completely installed. I only have 2 Gig free, so i thought fuck it and just started the POL without installing again. While in POL the disk was constantly spinning like before NXE, but when loading up FFXI the disk stopped spinning and the game runs completely from HDD (in fact it always did, but now the disk is not constantly spinning anymore).
    I didn't have to install or change anything to have it work like that.

    Briefly discussed in the 'NXE' thread in Gaming. This being the more specific topic, possibly better to keep infos in here.

    Called Xbox Support (Germany)

    They said they had no information about anyone else having trouble with this at this point.



    I recently got my Xbox back from their repair Service, too.

    For those who success, please tell us the right way of doing this XD.


    Score: Excellent Someone has posted the way

    installed Pol disc into your hdd



    shutdown the pol



    starts the game from hdd



    Reinstall the pol



    POL update



    Game start


    Maybe try that

    Yeah, I used WoTG and installed POL from there..didn't require GBs of space..so might be an issue with collections disks.

    I also used WoTG to install it. Wotg POL takes like 3.2GB while original FFXI takes 6.7 GB when you want to install on HDD


    EDIT:

    The method posted above worked for me. I am now in POL and logged in. Just save your shit with the POL option before you reinstall POL.


    Here again for clarity:


    Install POL disc to your HDD on the Dashboard



    Start POL and let it produce the Dashboard Error



    Start POL again and POL will lead you to the Option page where you can reinstall POL



    Reinstall POL while saving your Data



    POL will install and update



    You are now back in POL and can play FFXI. From now on starting from the Dashboard will work without problems also.




    Also called Xbox Support (Germany) again and told them how to haha

    Thanks for posting the makeshift Read Me.

    The working method seems very convoluted (and more than a little annoying). If this really is the only way to install it successfully post-NXE then I'd hope SE release an announcement on POL or something to explain it. I foresee many disgruntled players otherwise.

    While many have the problem it doesn´t seem too common. Like 6 of my friend were able to get on FFXI without doing anything special.

    I got mine back from repair recently too. Maybe that has something to do with it not working.

    Count me in as one of those that had no issues playing it on 360. I hadn't touched it for about 2 weeks, logged in, updated, and cancelled 4 of 5 Content IDs just fine.

    I was ready to go through the above process just to GET to cancel my IDs before month's end. Phew. Sorry to hear that some of you are having issues =(

    Reinstalling the POL viewer fixes it. No need to install your FFXI disc onto the HDD.
    Just reinsall the viewer.

    (Unless it gives you the error I think was mentioned, then do whatever the quotes say)

    Same problem, but I just got a disc read error without installing the game to my HDD, worked fine once then it just wouldn't boot up the game at all, all other games worked just fine, it was just FFXI, since installing I have had no problems..... yet.
