Ive been away from FFxi for a while. Today i purchased the Ultimate FFXI download from gamestop. After installing it and renewing my content ID i encountered a glitch.

Upon signing into POL and clicking on "PLAY" it begins to glitch and instead of allowing me to connect to the server and begin playing it takes me back to the previous POL screen saying "retrieving messages". I dont receive a POL error of any kind. Never seen this before. Truly strange. Any idea???

I'm just hating on Gamestop. Try checking DNAS/DNS ***, and if you're on Vista, IDK if there are issues there or not.

Are you trying to run it in full screen? try switching to window mode, see if that fixes it.

just a guess though.

Figured it out. The "Wings of Goddess" downloadable content from gamestop was corrupted. Once i uninstalled it, i was able to log in just fine. Strange indeed
