I'm using the Windows 10 insider build, and in the past on Windows 10, I use to be able to use Windower 4, but after many months later I decide to play the game again. Windower 4 itself runs fine, the moment I click to boot PlayOnline, it literally does nothing and closes out. No PlayOnline crash, no crashdump, no nothing.
So far I've:
1.
Uninstalled and reinstalled FFXI.
2.
Checked my registry, and there's only the US registry, so there are no other regions involved and the locations/paths are correct.
3.
Tested PlayOnline and FFXI and they run perfectly without Windower.
4.
Tested with Windower 3, and it's able to boot PlayOnline, surprisingly.
5.
Closed out all programs except Windower 4 to no avail.
6.
Set the Region to North America in Windower 4.
So... I literally am clueless on to what's going on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS:
Below is a video showing exactly what happens, however, something crazy happened when I was recording. I set the region to "North America" again, and for a brief moment PlayOnline actually ran! albeit it crashed right afterward, and there wasn't a crashdump in the Windower4 folder, unfortunately.
