Lol, I've been hearing so much with Vista it's like Windows 2000 all over again. It's why my Home PCs never used 2000, they went from 98 to XP.

Unhappy Re: FFXI + Vista = Stress-Induced Aneurysm?

Posting to see if anyone has a clue to make FFXI work on WinVista x64 Home edition.

Bought it with my new computer and... The only game I can play is WoW ( appart from Oblivion and Morrowind and Emulators that is ) which isn't FFXI.. Nor does Phantasy Star Universe work that I bought - Infact that messed up the whole comp so I had to format..


Tried the Run as Admin and even disabled it and such, tried the FFXI patch from square, tried them both togheter - I haven't got anything to work so.. Anyone got a clue?

Re: FFXI + Vista = Stress-Induced Aneurysm?

64bit OS = not a good platform for many apps. I doubt you're going to get it to work any time soon.

You're better off going back to 32bit Vista.

Re: FFXI + Vista = Stress-Induced Aneurysm?

Ok, fine.

Since obviously Vista 64 can't run FFXI, don't play. Figuring out what do do to get it to run will be an exercise left up to the dense user.

Woooow.. that was huge help to me.. <_<
Are you saying that just because you can't bother, don't know, or think that 32bit is better?

Nevermind answering any of that, it ain't important.
All I wanted to know was if anyone had figured out a way to get it working.
I didn't want someone to tell me to "Don't play since it obviusly don't work - FOR YOU" - Believe it or not but that ain't helping me! D:

Hope someone figures it out.. soon.. like... 15min.. from now D:

I don't suppose it even crossed your mind that it really might be your only alternative? No, it must be because I won't rewrite the damn game to make it run.

I am not a damn community. I don't have to watch what I say so others don't look bad.

Re: FFXI + Vista = Stress-Induced Aneurysm?

Tried google.
Gets me here and other places.

Thought I'd try to post a question here.
Was a bad thought.

Zica... quit being a little brat. not many ppl run an 64 bit system at home so dont throw a fit when people dont have answers for you. If someone did and they read this thread, I'm sure they'd post what they know.

seriously, you can stop whining anytime now.

Re: FFXI + Vista = Stress-Induced Aneurysm?

If you're still interested, 64bit vista does work with ffxi. I came across an article on it. Reply if you still need it.
