I've just installed POL (downloaded from pol site) and installed it along with the expansions fine. I managed to update POL fine too. When I try to start the game, it says I have to update the files. But then I get "version update communication error" POL-1161 after the preparing update screen. It doesn't even get to download the files.

There is no issue with my internet at all. I have managed to download other stuff fine. Anyway I thought it was my router so I went and connected an ADSL 1 modem which connects directly to the net. It still generated the same message.

I believe its a Vista setting but I am just speculating at this point. I have turned off firewall, Anti virus, done port forwarding (when I had router), turned on UPNP etc but to no avail..

I am using Vista 32 ultimate edition.

I just installed FFXI on my parents PC (XP) and it seems to update fine but I don't really wanna use that PC -_-

Stupid Vista..
