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...  Heezeemeeze
Tarutaru Male
Windurst
BLM 66/WHM 50 etc...

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! Omni@Remora: NIN75 RNG75 MNK75 COR75 BST64 BRD53

I think this thread should be closed now, SE have released a Vista compatible POL viewer already. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 03-22-2007, 04:10 AM | #86 (permalink) | | Certifiable Oracle of Knowledge Join Date: Oct 2004 Posts: 7,183 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 1,760 Thanked 1,667x in 1,163 Posts Gil: 20,857 Bank: 1,349,759 Total Gil: 1,370,616 Donate | Re: FFXI + Vista = Stress-Induced Aneurysm? 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. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 03-22-2007, 05:14 PM | #88 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2003 Location: Alabama Posts: 243 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,268 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,268 Donate | Re: FFXI + Vista = Stress-Induced Aneurysm?

Originally Posted by Kitsune | | Can anyone confirm the performance issues? Does the game still become unplayable when a lot of characters are on screen, etc? | Yeah. It gets really bad sometimes. I just bought this laptop in June, and Vista gives my PC a score of 4.5, and the FFXI benchmark was outstanding with it. However... FPS lag is horrible with weather effects on or with tons of people around.
Starting to get fed up with Vista and just go back to XP. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-03-2007, 09:04 AM | #90 (permalink) | | Lightness Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 2,405 Style: Light - Version 4 My Mood: Thanks: 95 Thanked 131x in 79 Posts Gil: 14,610 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 14,610 Donate | Re: FFXI + Vista = Stress-Induced Aneurysm?
