Installation Problems

[ADA]

I've been trying to get the game installed and can't get it to find anything when I check files so there's no repair option. I deleted 0.dat and it still doesn't find anything wrong with it. Besides that, when I tried to log in to the server via Ashita it just brings up a command prompt and doesn't go any further. Not sure what to do from here. Anyone know what I need to do to get this working? Thanks in advance!

I had to edit the info in the config to get to the server but apparently it's down right now when I check the roster, so maybe that's part of the problem. Still can't get the files to repair.

extract this to the FFXI install directory and it should show up in check files

I did at the outset, went back and did it again, still won't! Is it possible it's already there? I kinda don't think so...

if FFXI doesn't show up in check files, then you didn't extract it right (that's all the patch does)

I'm pretty sure I extracted it correctly, it had to overwrite files.

Even after downloading and extracting the manual update linked in the wiki it STILL doesn't find anything! IDK.

Heh. I figured it out. I was checking the PlayOnline client, not FFXI. No wonder. ._.
