    PS2/3 Issue

    I have this issue where the Maws and NPC's/ Confluxes are not loading up and it happens a lot. Also it seems when ever I enter abyssea at least the new zones I freeze 25% of the time. I play on PS3 was wondering if any other Ps3 or 2 users have this problem?

    for my ps2, calling support at SE with the freezing upon zoning issue and was told a series of ports on my router the game needed access to. opened them and it's been fine since

    when things are slow to load sometimes /healing where whatever is supposed to load will make it appear for me. /names toggled off helps. if it's that bad I just hop on my PC though

    On PC it fixes itself by running out of loading range of the maw then back.

    Running out of range works on the Ps2 for that problem but my bigger problem it freezes a lot when i enter or exit the maw like during that little cutscene.

    What ports did SE tell you to open? My friend is also having this issue?

    It only works on the fat PS3s capable of playing PS2 games. You download a PS2 emulator software from the PSN Store (It's legit) then use the FFXI PS2 discs and install them onto your PS3.

    At best, equal to what you'd get out of the PS2. I find the whole experience to be even laggier on PS3, especially the input latency (which to me, having a half-second+ of delay between typing and the input actually registering, makes the game pretty much unplayable).

    This has always happened, but it used to not be very common at all, probably just a stray packet or two. But now it's happening almost hourly for me, where it used to be bi-weekly if not monthly to bi-monthly. Running out of range and coming back in range is the easiest fix as mentioned before

    wow, hope the ports being opened up helps. i to have an issue with it getting locked up on the black screen when it shows "Downloading Now". Happens for all abyssea zones. but since spamming the rng legs quest, i have noticed like a 50% lock rate. Also occurs when I use a runic portal in or out of WG.

    Graphics wise, PS3 is bad. Same as PS2 if you use standard A/V cables (Yellow/Red/White), and incredibly pixilated if using Component/HDMI.

    Turn smoothing on if you hate the pixiles, but be wary of additional lag.
