Re: Continous POL-1153 Error's

I just installed this game along with the expansion packs today following the instructions listed in the supplied manual.

i cant seem to get play online to recognize the install even though this is a BRAND NEW CD (bought it Monday night)

my connection is fine, its definatly the install file im gona download the one online to see if it works / helps.

I'm assuming he DOES have the original discs by what he's said here. This just sounds bizarre. I also think it may have something to do with the registry.

when i do a full install i do the following (I don't have tetra master installed as I don't play it, i also have the 5 CD Uk edition of FF with ROZ and COP and the DVD of TOAU)

Install CD's in order.. i.e. Playonline+ffxi disks, ROZ and COP and TOAU.

Then register all the expansions etc with your card content ID.

Now do the update (it will update Playonline first then the long file check and update of FFXI your looking at approx 3 hours to do this)

I have had no problems doing it this way. Assuming you have all the correct GENUINE disks to install it and a genuine regristration code.

I'm not sure on the registry as he has said he reformatted, so officially the registry should be clear in FF terms, unless he ghosted his HD before the format and stuck the image back on.

One afterthought....

Once you have installed all the disks have you done a file check to see if any files are corrupt (due to a corrupt file on the disk, it can happen!) (assuming you can get to the file check stage)

Solutions tried:
Installing all the expansions in order of releasement.

I'm guessing he tried that also.

I don't think this is happening, or if it is, it's not the sole cause. He can't even get FFXI to appear on the file check menu (see his posted screenshot), which suggests it isn't being registered correctly.

I really think he needs to talk to PlayOnline Support and open a ticket with them.
