Weeeell, a few days ago, I had asked for help with Ubuntu, getting FFXI to run. That's old news. Lol. I borrowed a friend's XP disc and am running that again. Of course (If you know me, then you would have expected this already) there's a FFXI issue.

Everything runs fine in POL, I have everything downloaded, installed, updated, etc. When I go to open FFXI, though, I get this nice little error message when it sends me back to POL.

This seems to be a sort of common issue. I've looked around already for similar cases. Problem is, the solutions given didn't work for them, and aren't working for me. I tried running DxDiag.exe, I've downloaded ATI Catalyst Control Center (Yes, I have an ATI graphics card, bleh.), and nothing's working.

Currently running XP, I know my computer can handle FFXI because I've played for almost 4 years on it. The only thing that's changed is my switch from Vista, to Ubuntu, to XP (And I've had FFXI working on XP in the past too).

So, anyone had a similar problem? I know it can be fixed, I ran into the same thing a while back and got it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's been almost a month since I've been able to log into FFXI (because of various Xbox/PC problems that seemed to be compounded all at once). Thanks in advance.

I have seen that before. Usually after updates, and I've booted up through Windower, and POL gets confused. Comes from hijacking registry settings. But, I doubt that is your case.
Good luck in solving it, though.

I'm not sure if this can help, but I know this link was for directx with wine: http://wine-reviews.net/microsoft/directx-90c-march-2008-redistributable-on-linux-with-wine.html

or: http://www.smokinglinux.com/gaming/play-your-windows-games-with-wine-and-directx

or: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=345037

I just did a google search of directx ubuntu so these things came up, sorry if they don't help in some info though :( I'm not a linux person.

I had it happen on my old laptop (Nvdia 7900GT series card). It happened after the big level sync update. Nothing I could do would get it to work after that. I was able to run it in windowed mode with a third party program called "windower lite" I think? But was a huge hassle. Try changing your settings under the FFXI config.exe thing. Most important one is mipmap, bump mapping, and texture compressions. Let me know if you have any luck.

Working on reinstalling FFXI right now. If it doesn't work, I'll try that. Thanks.

Update your DirectX and get the latest drivers for your hardware from the manufacturer's website.

I ran into that EXACT same error a while back, it drove me nuts as I tried to pinpoint what was causing the error.

What fixed it? I had my son's USB Digtal Art Studio device plugged in the entire time I was trouble shooting it. I unplugged the damn thing and FFXI started working again lol.

Remove any uneccessary devices (leaving only the mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers, network cable, and power cable plugged in)... and see if that helps.

I'd think about converting the contents of the USB to a virtual disk while plugged into the old PC, and then after confirming you can still access everything in the newly created .vhdx file, saving the .vhdx over the contents of the USB drive (or saving it to a different USB drive), and then trying to open it up on the new PC. That's sort of a "troubleshoot blindly without diagnosing" approach, but the idea is that maybe this would not only copy the files to the virtual disk but rebuild a fresh file system just for the virtual disk. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/disk2vhd (contrary to the article which is from 2014, you don't need a hypervisor or virtual machine set up to use the .vhdx, you can simply open it via Disk Management, or by double-clicking it if you're on Windows 10).

But I'm sure some whiz out there knows a command line to fix your issue or something.
