Hmm.... I'm getting a dell laptop this week with vista on it and I'd like to play ffxi on it, I have the original FFXI w/RoZ, CoP and ToAU expansions Laptop specs are: Vista Home Premium Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB) 15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA Display with TrueLife 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ, 2 DIMM 256MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1400 HyperMemory 160GB 5400 RPM SATA Hard Drive Can I install with my original ffxi or should I get the vanadiel collection? (which isn't available in stores where I am for some reason, only xbox vers.) ...and what extra steps do I need to take to get it to work properly? after reading this thread it seems like there's a lot of other things you need to do to make it work...

i installed mine from the original discs also. you do need to do a few things to make it work, skim through this thread and myself and others have explained what we did to get ffxi to run on vista. good luck!

just wanted to give my thanks for the advice, im sure you helped out alot of people. And yes it does work fine on vista with and updated version of POL installed from either a cd, file transfer, or a web based storage site like http://www.xdrive.com or http://www.box.net . Anyways thanks again and hope to see you online ^^.

I think this thread should be closed now, SE have released a Vista compatible POL viewer already.

It should be left open to see if there are any issues with the new viewer. I really doubt SE tested it very throughly. It probably went something like this: Jim: Hey guys, I finally got that new PC put together! Tim: Sweet Kim: nice Goingoutonalimb: Have any problems with it? Jim: With the computer itself no, but I had a lot of problems making the POL viewer work. I had to read some forums to get it working on Vista. Tim: Oh, think we should make POL work with Vista? Jim: Would save me a lot of hassle *The next day* Tim: Well, I made a program that allows Vista to emulate POL, it's like porting it, but easier! Jim: Just like FFXI for windows! Tim: Exactly! And all that's left to do now is install it on a fresh computer and test it. *Two hours later* Jim: Well, it looks like it's working fine. Tim: Yeah, got logged in ok Jim: Think we should make sure all the features work? Tim: Nah, let's just wait for people to bitch about it on forums, saves us the hassle of having to test every little bit. |

I see what you mean Feba, but this thread is so long and messy, maybe problems with the new FFXI Vista Compatible POL viewer should go in its own thread, such as the annoucement made by Raydeus? Concerning Microsoft(R) Windows Vista(TM) Compatibility (Mar. 22) |

Can anyone confirm the performance issues? Does the game still become unplayable when a lot of characters are on screen, etc?
