Windower Issue

[Anomander]

HKR, the x64 checkbox is simply so that when you hit launch the settings you choose are saved to registry properly on an x64 machine. There is absolutely no need to run the gui every time you open windower, lol.

just tried on 3.3, and it sorta loaded... it flashed the screen a few times, then went back to pol with this msg:

Terminated as error occurred in FFXI. Failed to initialize Direct3D. Please check that this computer has the required specification to FFXI.

which i know it does, cuz regular ff works, and version 4 works..

edit: changed the hook to the new rc5, crash the way it did with 3.42

I've read that it may be a conflict between the ATI 9.12-10.1 Catalyst Drivers. Apparently, 9.11 and the new 10.2 work. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get ahold of 9.11 from the main site, let alone a mobility version (I'm on laptop). There is no mobility version of the new 10.2 either.

Before anyone says the drivers should be compatible with mobility cards, they won't install correctly. I've tried and there's no screen flash or prompt to reboot. Nothing. I've tried ATI's MobilityModder, but it doesn't even seem to work, as it still won't install. I've tried booting the setups in various ways: from the main setup method (prompted after extracting in the installation wizard), from the folder after extracting it, and from the driver's own setup file. Nothing works. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Oh, and that VLC suggestion didn't work. Thanks anyway though.

EDIT2: Also, as for the keyboard problems with Windower v4 (assuming you're having the problem with unresponsive keys), I posted a temporary fix for that on the Windower v4 Forums.

recast and TParty are in the works for v4. First round of new releases will be time stamp, logger and silence (soon)

Nah, I stopped giving ETA's because I never hit them haha. I have my new development machine now, I just need time to write code. I work like 10 hour+ days and actually enjoy playing FFXI once in a while... so it's hard for me to find a dedicated few hours to work on it lately. But I'm trying.

The recast plugin will likely be a few months, because Starhawk is helping with that and the structure will likely be completely different than the previous versions, if we can ( to prevent as many crashes/updates required by maintenance ) but the next update with timestamp etc should be relatively soon.

As to v3 not working in W7, I suggest posting on the forums or sending a PM to Aikar, hopefully he can figure that stuff out.

I sent a PM to Aikar asking him if he was going to be working on it or not, since he never really said. He just kinda AWOL after I gave him my crash dump. He never replied to the PM. That was a week ago. :/
