So I have been having this ongoing battle with FFXI and/or windower since the most recent return to vanadiel campaign started.
My PC is running WIndows 10 x64 with a GeForce 970 if any other particulars are needed I can provide them.
I can get FFXI to launch and play just fine without windower, however I lose all the great features and benefits of using windower.
Basically what happens is I load up Windower running as administrator, do the usual put in my password and what not, click through to play FFXI,
The changeover happens (where the POL window disappears and the FFXI game window appears) and all I see is a white screen for a few moments before the crash.
When looking at event viewer I see several information level notices like this one
Fault bucket , type 0 Event Name: APPCRASH Response: Not available Cab Id: 0 Problem signature: P1: pol.exe P2: 1.18.13.0 P3: 4e3bcddc P4: StackHash_bdcb P5: 0.0.0.0 P6: 00000000 P7: c0000005 P8: PCH_8C_FROM_ntdll+0x0007718C P9: P10: Attached files: These files may be available here: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue\AppCrash_pol.exe_d669cc4d238039bfa2ca7a408d7b1a757cffd590_52d02681_0abadf6a Analysis symbol: Rechecking for solution: 0 Report Id: 4785bb0c-8142-401d-8c88-b31655bd0709 Report Status: 96 Hashed bucket:
The Error in the log shows as
Faulting application name: pol.exe, version: 1.18.13.0, time stamp: 0x4e3bcddc Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00000400 Faulting process id: 0xe88 Faulting application start time: 0x01d1c5172f489a9f Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\PlayOnlineViewer\pol.exe Faulting module path: unknown Report Id: 33c4e908-11a5-4849-931f-61890c005099 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:
and the one that truly boggles the mind as to why I see it (information level) is this and it happens maybe one or two after the pol notice.

What I've done so far:
Do a File Check on POL & FFXI
Uninstall and re-install POL
uninstall and re-install POL AND FFXI
Enabled DirectPlay
tried an app called dgvoodoo2 as suggested on other places.
I'm really at my wit's end, can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!
