downloading data in loop

[AlexandreCA]

Ok, it's been a very long time and quite frankly, I don't remember the reasons why. I am stuck on the downloading data after the creation of my character. My IP in zone_id is my public IP, so other players can join me.

I don't see where I made a mistake. If someone can help me.

Thank you!

Sometimes on a local network with some you may need use --hairpin but if connect to outside network, that is not needed. Also make sure all the correct ports is open. https://github.com/LandSandBoat/server/wiki/Post-Install-Guide#port-forwarding

I found if you delete a file from the location below and allow the game to check for updates it corrected the issue for me.

C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\ROM\0

Delete 1 of the .dat files.

Open PlayOnline
Check for updates
Let it run (step away get a drink or snack)
