Alright guys. This issue is getting mindboggling and frustrating, being this is the 3rd or 4th time I've uninstalled and reinstalled the dagone game.

This is what it is though, I'll redownload it, have all that's needed PoL, FFXI, all the expansions but when I pull up PoL and do a file check for FFXI to download the patches.. I only get Playonline and Tetramaster. Seriously frustrated or seriously too illiterate to download this God forsaken game correctly.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Are you file checking before you log in? Pictures would help also.

Yeah, I file check through PoL and only says Playonline Version & Tetra Master my only two. Redownloading now to see if that makes a difference but will have pics momentarily.

Just launch the game, it will filecheck itself...

If the game isn't available to launch then you didn't install it, or the registry is so corrupt it doesn't think you installed it.

There's literally a step by step instruction guide on playonline.com as to how to download the game and install the files.

Tou realise you have to go through 8 or so sub installed when installing the game.
not just install the POL from the install menu ?

It sounds to me you just isntalled POL and not the game

Well I found out they're malicious, so I'm purging the system again.. and Going from step one, my internet is pretty trash so it takes like 4 hours to download from site. I'm gonna keep trying, appreciate the help though.

Also, how the hell do I post a Screenshot on here?

Make sure that all the files end with .rar otherwise you will receive an error code when trying to unzip them. There should be 3-4 files if you go through the site with the roll-over of updates. If you are going through the official website, make certain that all the download have the same .rar at the end. If you can't figure that part out, you will have to keep downloading the same crap over and over.

They should actually be a .exe and 1 .001 file, a .002 file and a .033 file there should be no .rar

The filenames are literally in their links:
