Lol 92b.

[Lordender]

decent size patch going on there.

I applied the mouse cursor fix and errored out while trying to update the game. I was able to update the game after restoring the ffxivgame.exe. After that you can apply the mouse cursor fix again. Just a heads up for anyone that has ran into this problem.

Edit: Looks like hardware cursor fix needs to be updated, current version will cause a crash upon logging in.

Thanks for that

Tried the mouse cursor fix after updating, and it crashes after hitting Play. Anyone else?

Because it's only for the old version. Patches will bork it, need to wait for an update for it (or do it yourself if you know how D

[Noobta]

How do you turn battle regimen off once you use it? Sometimes I hit it accidentally when using a controller, and all I can do is sit and not attack with anything.

[takethistoyourgrave]

Up.

[miokomioko]

What the fuck, it rolled me back to before I got my Willow Fishing Rod. Wow, that's bullshit.

edit: wow I was rolled back real fucking far... too. Like noon 3pm PDT or something. Before I even grabbed the leve to get it. So frustrating.

[Soap]

Lol Rollback. Lost 5k Skill/8k EXP and a chainmail...

[Johndile]

Get your leves back?

[miokomioko]

About to find out... Ugh. If the reward changed back to something other than the fishing rod...

[ascalon]

Yeah, pretty massive rollback. Lost maybe 2 hours worth of cooking skillups. Which was tedious in the extreme. Not doing it again.

Also, can confirm: you can toggle AoE on/off using the same button as you have set for the Emotes/Battle Regimen Start commands on a gamepad.

[miokomioko]

Way to save the character data way before they shut the servers down...

omfg, the rod isn't the reward anymore.

[TransparentMind]

lol that was fucking hilarious...

Rolled me back to guildleve hell in gridania, logged on to have lost 6.5k skill, and my fucking new boots & slops. Oh and I'm in the middle of a pack of lone wolves that just raped my ass. SE are truly a master of their craft, I tip my hat to them. =D

Serious its time to punch some babies. Gridania leves can get fucked, i'm not doing those again.

*Edit
Guildleves are still accomplished and strangely the gil from them is still there but no rewards or skill/exp. Thank goodness for the gil though!
