But people just want to hear what they want to hear regardless of if it's true nor not, so maybe mission accomplished?
I mean, your not wrong...

For some people spending 100k on a stock that tanks is no biggie.
Always levels.
I've often bypassed IT just to get things done cause of their.. colourful way of doing things.
Hell I threw away a gen1 Ipad 10 years ago that I had lying around from work that no one chased me about and I left the company.

Pretty sure that auto load comes from starting a second windower session too fast, using the same profile
Is curr an alias for some addon?
Can you have the name of a script also be an alias?
Curr question was answered above. It's called Currencies. Curr is the shorthand version. But I've tested the file labelling is *** currcheck, curr1, curr2, curr3, etc. It doesn't matter what the name of the file is called. I've ran one called test.txt that's literally just showfps for Windower -- it crashes the client.
I boot up the machine. I load Windower and log in. I wait 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes -- irrelevant on time.
This is a new Windows 11 install, a new FFXI install, a new Windower install. This is running one single Windower instance. Running any script immediately hard crashes the client.

`System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'D:\Mods\Windower4\scripts\autoload\autoload.txt' because it is being used by another process.`
That is a permissions error. Opened elsewhere, exactly as I said. Since you do this for a living you probably don't need more help than that.
Except the file in question has zero to do with what the topic is about. I can confirm both the Windower autoload.txt isn't open in any files both in Task Manager and in Computer Management, and furthermore I'm not even trying to do anything WITH that file.
If it's a permissions issue with an open file, that isn't open at all in the system, and I'm not even running a command for that file in particular, how does that factor in?
Furthermore, this is a fresh Windows 11 installation (USB drive, wiped and deleted all previous partitions), and a fresh Windower installation and setup.
If it's doing this outside of the box when Windower's basically a click > next > done install, then how is it a permissions issue with an open file?
If it does this after a fresh reboot, launching Windower and it does this immediately upon first launch, then how is it a permissions issue with an open file? Is the latest deployment of Windower so *** up NO ONE can run scripts? I highly doubt it otherwise it'd be a widespread issue.
If you're going to try to help, than actually do so. Otherwise *** off because all your response seems like is a kid jumping up "OH BUT IT SAYS HERE IT'S THIS SO YOU'RE WRONG" is pathetic.
I may do this for a living, but that doesn't mean I'm a *** deity. I put that there before when I know there's nothing open, or that it's not NTFS permission, I mean I've already checked for that as I would with a client.
I'm asking for anything to check outside of the obvious as I've already checked those. I purposely went through this on a second machine as I noticed this on my Windows 10 box and I couldn't figure it out there. I figured since it was a 5 year installation on the machine it might have been something in the user profile NTUSER.dat file, and as I was setting up the new machine I figured I'd test it there as well.

Yeah, it really depends on KI. Can't do procs if you don't know what the proc is.
When I finally gave in last time and went to farm seals I used brd/blm. Tier1 /blm spells make procs easy, and brd spells cover the rest.
Drop rates with that and th2 or th4 (th4 set after proc) were good.
But a new person having both brd levelled, KI for procs, and a TH4 set.. yeah, right.

I dont get the logic of some people.
An employee did a laptop repair through Lenovo for their device without notifying IT (me). They had to pay out of pocket since it was water damage to the screen, not covered by warranty, and didnt run that by finance either. It was a $1500 repair.
This happened in FEBRUARY, and theyre asking for reimbursement today.

The wiki has links to the single NM fights for unlocking empy upgrades - is how I did mine.
Easy to see in game - hell no, what is.

Imagine a new player trying to farm this stuff - madness.
Saw it plenty, you either helped them with the NMs, or it was kupon season and tried to corral them to just standing in the BC entrance or using an orb, along with telling them to have 20+ free slots for the numerous other junk.
One is a whole lot more preferable than the other since its guaranteed progress vs 1-2 hrs of potentially partial progress.
The harder part is the vagary bosses tbh, as atleast previously wasnt well marked as an option to unlocking 119, not sure if that has been changed along with explaining how to get to the BC and such. Empyrean armor in general is just kind of a mess in comparison to the other jse

In the past I thought they were opting for shorter campaigns for those they deemed "too good" to be lasting the whole period of time, but now I'm a bit puzzled about it, honestly.
They talked about it in the last AMAN live. Next month is a technical test with the eventual aim of synchronizing campaigns with the monthly updates. They want less/no down time between campaigns but they said it may be confusing while they throw stuff at the wall to see how best to do it.

Only made worse by the fact Empy +2/+3 is essentially required for every job across the board.

popping the NM itself isnt that big an issue most of the time
But when it is an issue, it is a huge pain, especially on Asura/Bahamut. Like, look at SAM, who has one of the best bodies:
Ninghizidha (3 items, including a timed spawn, possible emp competition)
Ironclad smiter (admittedly not too bad to pop, but annoying as hell to proc and possible epona's competition)
Chione (easiest to pop but almost guaranteed soul competition)
(yea, yea, play on small servers.. don't have to sell me on it, but doesn't mean SE can't improve things)

Does windower have uac access granted?
What's the file permissions to your windower directory look like?
Can you save exec scripts from the console??
What's the content of the test script?
1) Yes.
2) As mentioned it's on its own drive. Root of the drive, literally tested with giving permission to Everyone with full NTFS permissions. It's not permissions as stated above in the original post.
3) Yes.
4) As mentioned above, curr spark using the currencies addon. I've tested it with config FrameRateDivisor 0, input /t Charactername test, and a few other addons. The addon and the context of what the command is doesn't matter.

BLU or pld precast i guess, 12% FC on a slot is pretty decent if you arent concerned about TP being wiped i.e nuke spam

That or they go and put a steroid injection into all the seal NMs, popping the NM itself isnt that big an issue most of the time, but the proc system, especially for a new player who's likely solo along with the drop rates themselves, and still is subject to just bad rng, especially when you're on body seals, which from memory were the more annoying NMs to deal with/more iffy drop rates, the kupon is just a no-brainer whenever its available because doing aby NMs is awful
They did similar to sky god popsets iirc, where it drops multiple pops, just apply the same to aby NMs in regards to seals(though if you goof and apply it to emp weapon items that's cool too)

just right, ironically.
It's too slow for the first levels where the Currency required is still little, but it scales up fast. When it reaches 25k+ for each upgrade you're gonna end up in the opposite situation, having a lot of Matters and nothing to do, because you need more units to spend them.
Isn't that the opposite of every single upgrade system though? Usually the first few ranks are easy then it ramps up, which is fine because it rewards you a bit more at the start. If you want to cap you get to grind.
This system basically says do this for a year everyday or you'll never finish.
So like a stage 5 prime.. These are accessories not ultimate of the ultimate weapons.

Of course youre going to want the first 10 or so immediately. When it's 100k per rank it's not going to .... matter. ha.
It's never 100k per rank. Highest is 52400.

Thinking back about the Murky/Alabaster matter system.
We're all complaining the the currently supposed drop rate of ~33% is too low and SE did a mistake but... it might be just right, ironically.
It's too slow for the first levels where the Currency required is still little, but it scales up fast. When it reaches 25k+ for each upgrade you're gonna end up in the opposite situation, having a lot of Matters and nothing to do, because you need more units to spend them.
Which is... ironic, and emphasizes that revolving on Matter as a requisite to allow you to spend units wasn't a very good idea probably (unless they plan to use Matters for other things in the future, we'll see).
Why did they create this system? I can imagine because they wanted to promote full climbs, that is doing all floors and opening chest.
Binding Matters as a drop inside chest was their idea to promote that I suppose.
And making so NMs killed would increase the droprate on the following week, was their way to promote that too in synergy.
It just... doesn't work imho. I see their idea, I see their intent, it just doesn't work. But hey the content is not "complete", we'll see what happens in november when more stuff is added!
Kinda depends. If you have like 100k units cap and 100k units stored at start and 100k units possible to farm, which wouldn't be anything shocking, then you could get the rest of unity points in next 9 weeks. Meaning you could even be upgrading 3+ ranks each week. Now with how slow this is going, I can't even farm 50k points each week, because I can only spend like 3-5k per week now, so I only farm like 18-20k for now(what I spent + 5x3k increase) and can't get more, because there is 100k cap of remaining points that you can get. at a rate of 1-2 matters per week, I won't be able to spend 50k to maximize unity farm per week until like Rank 15+ (much higher if I only get one matter), meaning I will farm this stupid unity not for 13 weeks, but more like 17. This makes it even worse.
