Hey all Im posting this in regards to windower.net support forums. Anyone know if they still operational? I cannot get page to open and I have asked my question here before with no responses.

I have a brand new dell alienware area 51, well about 8 months old. Loaded to the gill, best of the best. I cannot play ffxi if im in any sort of dungeon area or salvage/nni. I crash every 5-10 mins in these zones. I was just trying to do morta with a friend and I dc every fight. All other zones work 100% fine we were in sky doing aello for hours today and yesterday with no issues.

I freeze and then I just get the generic playonline.exe has encountered an error and needs to close box. Now vanilla I can do morta all day not one dc. I have tried to reinstall windower, just did it again a few mins ago with no luck. I just don't understand it. I am about 2 crashes away from unsubbing.

Arcon and Aureus migrated servers and something got mixed up en route. It can be difficult to tell when a server migration works/doesn't work because DNSs cache sites to some extent. Arcon fixed the problemwhen it was reported.

Also yeah, the windower forums / IRC will be closed. We made a poll asking how people felt about it and got something like 7 responses over a month, more than half of which were that people didn't care. Windower moved to Discord a while back and the Windower section of this forum gets more activity than the windower.net forums did.

Basically just reducing footprint/maintenance without really reducing functionality.

I would try unloading on plugins and add ons see if that works.

Thanks for replies, no I do not use dgvoodoo i was never able to get it setup. Everytime we tried no matter the settings I could not see charachters or npcs just a floating name.

Sounds like you were more successful than you thought with dgvoodoo.

Is that a desktop or laptop? If either is it utilizing multiple gpu?

If models aren't rendering with dgvoodoo, you're using the wrong version. Try using WIP41 (Link to dgvoodoo downloads page.)

Follow up to this they made a static archive of the forum pages and are working out fixing links so any info on it will still be visible once done.

I just noticed that forum went down.
While sad i think that was the best.
But what happened to the suport documentation/information (plugins/addons description, developer wikis, etc). Did they move to another place or was lost forever?

Yes it is in Nvidia card its a 1080gtx in a desktop. Alienware area 51 desktop. This has been going on in any dungeon type zone. I am not sure if it is overloading .dll file or something but like i said in first post I can sit in sky for hours but anything with a ceiling I dc. Its odd

Ah, was just trying to verify that it didn't have an onboard gpu, doesn't look like it. That is very odd.

No, that is staying it just had some issues during the move and will be back up at some point.
