Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XI Technical Support Forums.

We’re glad to read that you are able to log into the game, it does seem like it is a Windows 11 issue since the latest update has heightened security. For now we suggest staying on Windows 10 as a temporary solution. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you encounter any other issues, we do again apologize for any inconvenience you may be experiencing.

They're not automated. They don't post in every thread or on every issue. They're tech support people, they just follow the troubleshooting steps available to them and you can't fault them for that. I have done it myself and you're not supposed to deviate from standard procedure.

You can always try filing a ticket on the support site if you haven't, but if you've tried multiple different server nodes in different locations on a VPN I'm pretty much at a loss.

I would never fault them for that, and of course I did not mean the posting is automated, that much is obvious.

I'm talking about the content, and it is sad to see LLM stuff being used for customer support even here.

Definitely one of the most worst thing to use it for.

Repeating what the user already did is not good for anyone's time, aside from those getting paid for it, I maybe guess.

Considering Windows 10 support status, this is probably not a good idea for anyone stuck on that operating system.

I don't think they're using AI for this, just copypasta.

Apologies for the delay in my response. I have a the Home edition for Windows 11 version 25H2, and my OS build is 26200.8246.

One perhaps a kind of a silly idea might be trying it in a virtual machine on that Windows 11.

Will be interesting to find the actual issue for this one.

Even after they incorporated the probably non-existent clear session thing?

I have that exact same version and build on a prebuilt HP laptop and have not had the issue that you describe to run ffxi. So I still think it's some other program that was preinstalled on the computer since it was prebuilt.

Oh wow, I didn't think about that. My system is an Alienware prebuilt. I’ll check for Killer Networking / OEM network software, I heard they're notorious for breaking older MMO login handshakes! Thanks for pointing that out.

I had a similar issue last year. ISP blocked a port i commonly used without notice. After connecting to a helpful support tech, they were able to unblock the port to continue access.
