Reinstalling FFXI question
It works.
Edit: Though to avoid any issues, I would only copy over the DAT folders. Then it'll do a file check and maybe download 2-3 files in the root POL directory. Yes it'll work, there will still be somewhat of an updating process, I'm not sure if there's some files that don't get copied just by doing that, or what it's been a long time.. Just don't cancel it or anything when it pops up.
But I remember doing it and it going through the update thing and me /facepalming because I though it was going to run the whole thing. This is good to know, I was thinking of doing a reformat also, but not sure yet if i am going to :/
here what i do every time i`m thinking Format my PC or when i get new HDD. Its Save me a lot of time
Go to play online => squareEnix =>Final fantasy ==> then Copy -Rom to Rom 8 -Sound to Sound 6 Sometime i Copy all file in Final Fantasy and Dont forget to Save your macro Take your time when u Download Servers still Down ; ; The right and proper way of backup is backup the whole final fantasy folder (including user data) as it will simply be reused by POL the next time you reinstall.
No need to backup POL folders unless you have messages and screenshots you want to keep in the backup. Backuping POL will add about 1.5 GB to your already big FFXI backup. When reinstalling, you can simply install POL then FFXI. You will need to reinstall all expansion discs if you don't backup POL folders as certain "flagging" files are placed there to indicate that you have FFXI expansion data installed (I.E.: Expansions do not activate without these files on POL folder). If it's a steam copy it won't work. I wrestled with this issue for the best part of a week and PoL would refuse to open with a missing .dll, when I fixed that it just wouldn't open with no error. I uninstalled and re-installed it and Steam was too HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE to remove parts so it installed an old incomplete version of PoL which refused to update.
If it's a steam copy I'd highly recommend a fresh install. ![]() Fenrir.Mariane said: » No need to backup POL folders unless you have messages and screenshots you want to keep in the backup.
