Bugged NPC Names!

[Alhanelem]

1. I am running the game from Linux via Wine (Which I might add runs FFXI far better than Winblows). I have been since 2011. The game has run fine up until this last update.

Linux and wine is an entirely different ballgame, and it goes without saying that Linux is totally unsupported by SE as well, whether it objectively "runs better than winblows" to you or not.

Rest of the points: You never actually said you tested that already, so how would I know?

3. Visual effect addon to affect the actual game files what I have there is visual overlays and they again do not affect the game functionality.

many windower features are knkown to affect the game whtehr the'yre "visual" or not. I've had multiple cases where i couldn't progress through a battlefield cutscene but running without any external tools allowed me to proceed. Hence why I made that suggestion, and you didn't tell me before just now that you already tried that.

Something about your the environment you're running the game in must have something to do with it, because obviously, it isn't happening to me even with more "visual effect addon" than you have, using the "winblows" 11 beta channel:


The only other probable explanation is that this happened to you when the glitch with NPC names was still happening.
