FFXI Crashing In Specific Places

[Dakana]

Hey Everyone

So I normally play on PS2 but I'd like it to work on my laptop too for when I travel. I have a Dell XPS M1330. I'm running *yes i read the sticky* Vista 32 Bit with a GeForce 8400M GS Video.

FFXI works fine and I'd gone and had exp parties on it and such the problem is if I go to specific areas it'll crash. The main two being the Runic Portal room in Whitegate and the strip between the Windy MH and the Fountain in Windy Woods. I'll get the POL has stopped working error in windows.

If I'm in that spot when I log in I have about 10 sec to move away or it'll crash again.

This happens with or without widower.

Any thoughts?

~Thanks

Sounds like a job for the Check Files button.

Came back clean. it's basically a fresh install

Make sure you selected FFXI files, the same button is used to check POL and FF, it's a common mistake. I've never heard of a situation like you're describing where corrupt files weren't to blame. First time for everything of course, just making sure the simplest answer is addressed first =P
