POL crashes when restarting game after R0

[Mirage]

Hi.

Whenever I go from being ingame FFXI and back to the POL viewer, then back into FFXI, pol.exe crashes.

This happens no matter how returning to POL viewer happens. It can be manually exiting the game and go back to POL viewer, or when I return to POL as a result of a disconnect in the game.

Usually, the game will crash right after POL has checked files, right as the game window pops up, but sometimes, the crash comes as late as after I have selected a character to play and the zone it is in has loaded. Regardless, it always crashes.

After the crash, when I have restarted the entire POL viewer, I can get ingame as I normally would. It is not the worst error in the world, but it is pretty annoying when you get an unfortunate R0, because the process of getting back into the game takes roughly ten times longer than it would if I could go back to the game without having to close POL Viewer first, then restart it.

I have no idea if I'm the only one experiencing this, but here is the normal bug report stuff anyway:

Hello Mirage,

Thank you for your post. I understand how frustrating this issue must be, but as this forum only addresses in-game bugs, I am transferring this thread to the Technical Support forum so that it can be properly addressed. I hope that this can be resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you again for your post.
