Airship Disconnects

[Taurothar]

When I've been on Airships lately, as soon as they land and the loading screen pops up, I have a program error and it shuts POL down and does the whole "do you want to report this to microshaft" prompt. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this lately. It happens often but not every day. I tried reinstalling POL and FFXI (ROYAL pain). Any other ideas?

use the ffxi software to have it check itself for bad files

Reinstalling the software will eliminate corupted files so checking it serves no purpose. Are you using a windower? Your windower could be an old one and may not support POL perfectly any more.

I am using Windower 3.0 right now and it seems to work perfectly. I hope that might help

Checking avoids the barrages of patches, and takes less time than installation. So it does serve a purpose.

I noticed when docking, if I try to send a message just as we zone my game crashes also. But if I don't try to send that last second message, everything is fine.

ya know what, I think you're right there death, I'm pretty sure every time it happens I'm trying to talk...

Yeah, I found that happens to me too

If I try to send a message it crashes (as im zoning of course)

Zoning on Airship D/C

Personally .. I noticed since the last update certain zones would 'loading freeze' on me .. namely East Altepa -> West Altepa, Upper Jeuno -> Battalia Downs, and most frustrating, Airship -> Port Bastok.

My fix? I had to turn off my Norton Firewall .. if I disable that I don't get zone d/c errors anymore.

This never used to be a problem, only since the last update. Unfotunately, I haven't had the time/energy/desire to take apart and figure out what the firewall is killing, but when I disable it instant fix.

Weird, friend of mine was having trouble getting into the promys too during cutscenes. (Yay for useless information!)
