/cry - must kill the warp taru - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

Bloody warp taru. There's something wrong with him. Every time I've tried to use him since the update I've been kicked from the game. All the other players stood around the taru seem to be getting kicked too.

Seriously annoyed about this. Got invited to an xp party as my drk, ran to the warp taru and got kicked. Logged back in, apologised to the leader, tried to warp again and got kicked. Tried another 3 times and I've been kicked every time. No there isn't a besieged occuring but there will be one soon and I really wanted to get to that party. There doesn't seem to be a problem with my dats because I have cast warp and had warp II cast on me so far today.

By the time I switched to whm, teleported myself and got a chicken to Jeuno the leader had found another DD.........

I really wanted to test my new abs-tp spell too

Don't use Azaril's Windower or don't use the Warp Taru.

Your choice.

Queen Uma · 07-24-2006, 11:39 PM

Not using the windower

Shopee · 07-24-2006, 11:42 PM

Wow, really?

Only case I've heard of the Warp Taru messing with people's game was due to Windower.

You got me then.

Queen Uma · 07-24-2006, 11:44 PM

I'm just running the updates on my other machine so I can check if it works on that. If not........... I just don't know.

Shopee · 07-24-2006, 11:45 PM

That really sucks, sorry to hear it's been rough. I hope it works there, 'cause otherwise it may just be an issue you're stuck with for a while =/

Thanks

Grrrr POL-1160 on my other machine....... I wonder if FFXI updates have any correlation to the suicide rates in Japan

Murphie · 07-24-2006, 11:50 PM

I'd certainly hope not.

Tsikuro · 07-25-2006, 02:30 AM

Same thing here, but instead it happens when I try to put Sanction on. Haven't tried warp taru yet.

Murphie · 07-25-2006, 02:31 AM

Although the OP's problem may not be Windower related, there IS a problem with Sanction/Signet and Warping with the current Windower. Basically any time an NPC would cast a spell on you, it causes the game to crash. So if you're using the Windower, you'll need a different version.

Hamlet · 07-25-2006, 03:31 AM

I heard about this happening and played in regular full-screen mode and had no crash getting sanction or warping myself (haerd that crashed a blm). I couldn't try the warp taru because he was missing (might've got taken during the update lol).

The OP clearly stated that they weren't using the Windower. So this is a bit out of line.

Reading comprehension FTW.

And what's wrong with using a program that allows you to perform a basic function that should be in the game anyway? Oh no, they can actually use their computer for something else than FFXI when they are sitting in Jeuno for 5 hours LFG.

Yes because the 3rd party item I'm using is.............. a bottle of water. Damn I didn't know drinking water whilst playing ffxi prevented me from using the warp taru. Hmm I'l have to be more careful with my drinking habits in the future. Wouldn't want to get banned for the simple sake of preventing dehydration.

Yeah its a shame any of my PCs instantly become a glorified PS2 when I want to run FFXI, however I merely have to move my head 6 inches to the left and flick a switch for kb input to use my other pc so I'm ok without the program who's names shalt not be mentioned.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, ran it on my other pc after the updates and used the warp taru. Worked fine so I'm copying all the ToAU dats to my normal machine now.
