Final Fantasy XI Forum

When running the PlayOnline launcher, pol.exe, the window comes up, sounds are playing, but the window contents are a solid bright red rectangle. Sounds occur in reaction to keyboard input, so the thing isn't dead. If I try a non-CrossOver Wine build, the window displays properly. I've tried poking around with various library overrides, but nothing I've tried so far has helped.

I'm running on a 2017 iMac with the 8GB Radeon Pro 580. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Same here, on a MacBook Retina (the 12 inch one, from 2016), on Mojave with the same CrossOver 18.1 :(
It basically broke compatibility with FF11, sadly. The game still works with older versions of CrossOver though as far as I can tell (I tried on 15.1, no issue)

Thank you for reporting this and testing on an old version. I looked into it and filed a regression report.

Thanks,
Anna

Thanks Anna! Hope to see support back soon, the game is flawless on 15.1, been playing it a few hours per day since my last post here.

Hi Sebastien,

Unfortunately I cannot give you a timeline on this. We try very hard to prevent and fix regressions, but much depends on the nature of the regression. If you would like to be notified if/when there is an update, you can send in a support ticket and mention Bug 16688 so that your ticket can be linked to the bug in question. Again, I cannot promise anything -- we are a small company with limited resources -- but I will advocate for you on this while we are prioritizing issues.

Thanks,
Anna

I was having the same problem, but with the latest 18.5 update, FFXI is working perfect for me.

Still can't play even with 18.5 on my side: now it's a black screen instead. Otherwise it's the same as before: we can hear the music of PlayOnline and the thing is overall responsive to keyboard inputs, but it just displays a black screen.

Hello, have the same issue. Are there any news if there is a fix ready?
