So I was looking to take advantage of this return to vanadiel and come back to the game after 3 years of not playing... however when I download the game, when I finally got past all the updates, my computer freezes every single time on a screen asking me to install DirectPlayer, does anyone know what I should/can do? I'd love to rejoin you all!

You need to install/activate DirectPlay in order for ffxi to work.

Try the following;

As for the issue of direct play under windows 8.1 (if that's what you're running)

Open Control Panel
Open Programs
Open Programs and Features
Turn Windows Features on or off
Open Legacy Components
Make sure DirectPlay is checked.

(Unchecked here)

That seems like a lot of text for simply checking an unchecked box.

Windows 8.x?

Then take a look here.

I like the scenic route as oppose to just the destination.
