POL viewer tells me that FFXI fails to initialize Direct3D. Game was working fine before the update... Any ideas? {Help Me Out!}
Having the same issue, does anybody know a fix
Just came back to game after 9month break i get the same error FFXI fails to initialize Direct 3D game was working fine
A new feature was added called video stabilization. This new setting might need enabled. Perhaps it was defaulted on in previous versions but caused instability in some systems so they added separate configuration option for it. In any case you should investigate this new FFXI setting and test what it really does.
Here are some other issues that might cause this. I got the error when loading FFXI with non-standard screen modes. It also happened when shifting from the system resolution to a different game resolution in full screen.
I hope this helps. Laters.
