Shiva.Flionheart said: » Yeah I had done that but I just figured out what my problem was, I had copied the ffxi folder into my test server folder instead of the files and folders that were inside the ffxi folder.

I notice a couple of things about the test server concerning abyssea
1. In the hereoes zone, alot of ??? are missing (probably due to the intel requirement) 2. NMs that involve another pop NM either dont spawn or the ??? is missing. Ex: Neither Ironclad Smiter's ??? or LongBarelled Chariot was up. Which neither have intel requirement according to wiki...rani does so assume that's missing too. 3. Iron clad's that pop normally don't appear to aggro they just remain in idle form (talk about trash >.>) 4. spawned caturae aren't around either 5. I went to the mis. coast and saw heqet and the bat NM so I shall assume for now that all spawn NMs are around 6. 5,000,000 cruor oh yes.... :) lol Offline

Shiva.Flionheart said: » hrmm my game is updating. Update today? Unsure... I attempted to log on due to this but when i got there...minus a little delay from playonline screen to the "Play test server" screen...I logged on fine w/o an update Being a brand new server, various conditions have to be satisfied for certain NMs (including force pop) to pop. It's been so long I have no idea what any of these were. It could just be a matter of waiting x amount of time, or killing x amount of certain mob. Either way, I really doubt anyone is going to go through any amount of trouble obtaining these, especially since they'll probably wipe the server for each new test, and especially since Abyssea isn't exactly what they wanted us to be testing anyway.

Really I only went there because while im working on twashtar on real server...on test server i can use daka +2 so I wanted to see how Rudra's Storm was on dnc :P Really the very first thing I did was do the T4 VWNM...was fun but that mantis didnt like us very much ; ; Since windower works based on your registry settings for FFXI, has anyone actually tried replacing their FFXI files with the test server files to see if windower works?

I installed on both my pc and on macbook pro via bootcamp and it works, don't know why so many people are having problems.

Any ideas? When it crashes, do you get a message about full screen mode or something? This happened my first time, so I just went in and changed the settings so that it starts in windowed mode. Works fine now. If this isn't the same issue, then I have no clue. Shiva.Tidusblitz

I actually fixed it. You have to extract the 3 files seperately. which is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. i was highlighting all 3 and extracting, and it was only actually doing one of them.

Hmmm, I extracted all mine at the same time. Though I did start them separately (didn't highlight them all at the same time), they were all extracting at the same time. Anyway, glad you got it going.

Extracted A11203W_001.zip,FFXITC.zip,FFXITC2.zip,FFXITC3.zip to my desktop (did all 4 at the same time) when FFXITC1-3 was extracted to my desktop they all went to a folder called "ffxi" 3. Opened the A11203W_001.zip file to do the Set up for the FFXI Test Client followed the instruction and it made a Test Client folder on my C Drive. (not at home but by default its the same directory where your FFXI is saved to. 4. Once that was done I OPENED that previous ffxi folder I mentioned and copied everything in that folder (NOTE: Do NOT copy the ffxi folder itself...open it and copy all it's content) 5. Go back to where the directory of the FFXI Test Client (where ever you told the set up to save it to) and paste the files mentioned in 4. to that folder. You will get alot of pop ups stating that the file with the same name is already there. Select "copy and replace" each time...at the bottom there's normally an option to do w/e option you choose with everything. 6. Once everything pasted there. Open up the test client...and log on to playonline like your normally do. Do NOT click on the red box....it'll automatically disconnect you (weird I know) wait until the Final Fantasy XI pops up. 7. Click on Play on Test Server. 8. Once there you'll get the update screen like usual once that's done if done right, it'll go to FFXI :) I should also note that to NEVER update playonline until everything is in that folder... I never got past to ffxi (kept crashing) but has heard of people having one of the test moogles speaking in japanese if you did theupdate to early. If you do it how i wrote it you shoudln't have any issue with it. Forgive all the typing. Was kind of just writing how I did w/o actually shorten it :P Offline
