Examining a locked chest brings up non-english text

[DrakeVal]

Every chest I have found and attempted to pick or examine has seemed impossible. Lockpicking tells me the first digit is a 0, despite it being between 10-99, and examining the lock for clues gives me some untranslated text

Not sure if it's something to do with my version of FFXI or what

Good morning and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XI Technical Forums.

The issue you are describing may be associated with corruption of local game data. Please try the following troubleshooting methods in order to resolve the issue:

Please navigate to 'Program Files(x86)' > 'PlayOnline' > 'SQUARE ENIX' > 'FINAL FANTASY XI' > 'USER' and copy this 'USER' folder so it may be stored elsewhere as a backup. Once complete, proceed to remove sub folders out of this main folder one by one (Not the backup) so you may determine where the corrupt file might be when loading the affected character.

Alternatively, we may recommend removing the folder completely and performing a file check from the PlayOnline Viewer so the client may recreate/restore this folder. Please be advised that removing the 'USER' folder will also remove any macros that may have been created.

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XI Technical Support Forums!
