Deprecated Darkstar fourms

Try VS 2017.
I had different errors the other day and this fixed it.

My current Win10 machine is fully patched I have all the same programs installed as before and I have no issues connecting to any server. Copying my (now working) install to the Win7 machine was met with the same infuriating shutdown the socket. (yes I updated all the paths and double check registry...

Means we are probably looking at a windows update that borked it for some of us. And it's infuriating when you are geek that knows how to fix stuff and none of the fixes work. I'm on day 4 of a complete reinstall, with Avast anti-virus installed and ever so slowly pushing through the Windows 10 upda...

Looks like this issue might start being more prevalent. I ended up doing a complete reinstall of windows (see the NAT Reflection and Connection Issues threads) Current thought is Avast-Antivirus (or other anti-virus) or a Windows update is borking xiloader.

Blaze, can I ask what Anti-Virus you are using?
I ended up doing a full reinstall of the client and so far so good with connecting to servers.

Am now slowly reinstalling everything else with constant r...

I'm on Win10 and Win7 with an Administer account and UAC off on both. Xiloader/windower/ashita are all set to run as administrator under the compatibility tab and it never crashes just fails to connect to the map server after successfully logging into connect server. Both systems stopped working at ...

It's definitely a client setup issue completely reinstalled FFIX and went through the horribly slow patch process T_T ... Everything is set to run as admin windower/ashita/xiloader but still can't get past the login server either local or internet. Probably do fresh Windows install Monday and see wh...

It looks like pfSense is not the issue. We have confirmed that people outside my network (internet) can connect, make a character and run around the game world with no issues I have pulled the server off the split (10.0.0.0) network and placed it inside my home (172.16.1.0) network updating the conf...

That would be great!
I won't have time tonight but I will print screen my NAT / Firewall and anything else I can think of as soon as I can!
