Game closes

I recently bought the Abyssea edition game on Steam; it downloaded fine, and the playOnline viewer/launcher runs fine. When I start the game, however, my screen goes black for a second, like it's going to start, but then it just closes. No error message or anything. Has anyone else had this problem?

**I downloaded and played the previous Ultimate edition through Steam maybe 6 months ago (on the same PC), and this wasn't an issue then.

Any help would be great.

Yeah, I just had this same exact problem with a download from Steam the other day. Check this site out

The section you want is "I just reinstalled the Steam version of FINAL FANTASY XI and receive "Error code: POL-5312" or “Error code: POL-1158”.

I got one of these error messages at first, then verified the files through steam, after I verified them I didn't get the error messages, but got the black screen then was exited from PlayOnline, this is what fixed it for me. Hope it helps.
