I recently installed FFXI Style DAT mods to my system, but POL crashes every time I attempt to log into my character. Stupidly, I forgot to back up my files and am now stuck with the DAT mods.

Is there any way that can find the current DATs for the game or do I need to reinstall the game in its entirety? I would like to avoid having to do this, seeing as it will most likely take an insane amount of time.

Playonline can do a file check for your game's cache and restore everything to vanilla files.
It should be on the menu to the left before you even log into your account.

It said that there were no problems found. :(

I reinstalled the back ups that were included in the download, so the text and everything looks like it normally does, btw. Not sure if that matters.

go into your pol folder and delete any dat so that it actually finds files missing and does the full check and it should fix the rest

Ok, this is weird. I deleted ROM > 11> 8 and then did the file check and it said it didn't find any problems...

Wait, I think, as usual, the problem is me. I had it scanning the POL files rather than FFXI files. time Remaining is 18 minutes. (Sorry)
