Weird POL crash

Keos · 08-24-2004, 11:19 PM

Hi all,

As i didnt see anyone with the same problem about POL i'll post here what happened :

Came back from vacations (4 weeks ^^) launched POL patched it, then when it restarted it couldn't go farther than the square enix logo (the opening movie is disable) and then back to desktop.

Same thing happened on another computer (both computer are completely different hardware wise)

After trying to play with the POL settings I decided to unsinstall and reinstall the POL viewer...
First launch >> POL update
Then it restarted and crashed after the opening movie....

Soooo I can still try to reinstall windows and FF on my main comp, but knowing both puter are differents I guess a reinstall wont do anything.

Well if you guys got an idea ^^

/cheers

i dont play on PC, so this is just a guess-
there has been some discussion that the latest Windows update, SP2, has changed some firewall settings. There is an option to allow for exceptions.

there is some more information about that issue here- http://www.ffxionline.com/showarticl...threadid=46229

good luck

Thanks for your reply.

Well i'm not using sp2 right now, and there is no popup or error message when playonline shuts down.

I'm trying to get the playonline folder from a friend to see if i can run it.
