Last night I tried installing FFXI. (Reinstalling because I had no sound effects)
Core game went in fine, zilart expac refused to install. It kept freezing at 54%. After an hour of messing with it I gave up and let STEAM download the game while I went to bed. I woke up and started the auto-matic updater and went out to run errands. (I didn't do Krizz's patches because I was unsure if that caused my sound problem) Couple hours later it finishes patching. I log on and huzzah! I have fully working sound!
Log out, set up windower. Windower won't work. 'No problem' I tell myself. It's most likely conflicting with the CORE install that I did last night.
I open STEAM and look at the file size of FFXI.
It's like 10 gigs or whatever.
I open Add/Remove Programs. I find FFXI.
3.4 gigs. Clearly this is the partial install from last night.
I hit remove. ---- Uninstalls.
Open up STEAM, hit play on FFXI.
-Cannot find FFXI launcher-
...wut?
open up steams files.. all 10 gigs worth of FFXI files inside the STEAM folder were missing.
Deleted ALL the things.. Redownloading from STEAM now.. this time going to patch with Krizz's files.
