Steps:
1. Purcahsed Macabre Simulcarum from Malobra for 5000 Balyd
2. Interact with Infernal Transposer
3. Select the Arciela fight which I have cleared before.
4. Queued for battle.
5. Game crashed to desktop - skipping PlayOnline window. Macabre Simulcarum is lost.
6. This happened to me at least twice already, lost 10,000 Balyd which is not a big deal.
7. On one occassion, Arciela was the second Sinister Reign fight I entered. On the other ocassion it was the first, so the order does not seem to matter.
8. One thing I also noticed is if I enter the Arciela fight back-to-back, the queue time becomes extremly long after about three fights; even failing to enter sometimes. There was no other party around that I can see.

9. To avoid the issue mentioned in Step 8, I now alternate between Arciela and Teodor (and sometimes Ingrid). The crash only seemed to happen with Arciela.
10. Verify file as mentioned below with FFXI config just now, game crashed to desktop again after about 6 or 7 fights or more (27 July 2025, 12:42 am NZST).
11. I did notice another player came about when I was applying to enter the Teodor fight. I clear it, apply for Arciela and game crashed.

Edited some spelling mistakes and added time zone code.
Added step 9, 10 and 11. Corrected area name to Rala Waterways [U].
