Xbox 360 Issues: Who's Affected, and Why?

[Zatias]

Each platform has its own problems.

360's are listed here.
PS2 is outdated and everyone wants SE to stop supporting it...
PC makes my back and shoulders hurt.



Edit: doesn't have anything to do with this, but as soon as I click the thread open, the first words I see: Is it big or small?

Please excuse my bad sense of humor.

I believe this is worth noting...

I've played the game on all three systems, and have experimented with the post-zone lag quite a bit as well. Some players say that their mules are not affected by the post-zone lag, but that their main characters always are.

I think it has to do with Mog Lockers and other certain inventory options. When a character loads into a new zone, it takes the server time to process that your character has all of those items- both on the person and in the mog house. Mules do not often have access to mog lockers or other large stocks of inventory, so they are seemingly immune to the effects of the post-zone lag spike, atleast until the player bites the bullet and quests enough to attain mog locker storage.

I'm not 100% on this, but everything I've tested over the years points to it. I honestly wonder if the situation could be fixed by solely making it so players cannot see their Mog Safe or Mog Locker contents while outside of the Mog House. The lag spike honestly is the bigger issue to me, than looking for items I can't actually pull out from storage.

i assume you would have to buy it from SE via their website on your PC web browser. Although that is only if you lack a registration code. If you need the actual Install data then you need to hunt down a FFXI Ultimate Collection for teh 360 that includes WotG and do a fresh install from that disc onto your 360.

granted i started out with a 360 disc that had everything up to WotG so idk if you absolutely need to do a clean install (uninstall what you have then install everything using that Ultimate Collection disc) or if you can simply install what is not present on your 360 by loading up POL with the Ultimate Collection disc.

Crashbox was never meant to work right. It was specificly left faulty so that people would send it back to MS and buy another one in the meantime. It's just junk hardware made by a junk company.

i get the freeze in besiege about 50% of the time i go in there. Always have the issue zoning in and out as well. We have these issues on 3 different style xboxes (older 360 with first generation HDMI, a FFX111 special edition, and a kinect style. I gave up on besieged about a year ago and just recently started doing it again. It needs to be fixed

Also, whenever a "new" item loads into the pool, or inventory, you will experience a .5 second or less "lag" in which the screen briefly freezes. This is a small version of all your items loading into your inventory/sack/satchel at once when you zone.

I use this brief screen freeze as an indicator that something I don't have has dropped into the pool (or inventory, if solo) before I actually check it. It's always been this way for me.

[I] Weird thing is we all noticed our mules dont zone lag whatsoever.

Sounds like as others have said the delay is redrawing your main char because off all the gear etc. do you still lag on your main if you take your armor off before zoning?
