Stop using xiview if you dont know what youre doing

The number of people who blindly add old xiview files immediately after an update is too damn high.

That's because there were no UI updates in those months.

There is now a new option added to the UI for Vanabout currency, if you go to check the RoE menu with an old XIview it'll crash your game.

Xiview modifies the game files.

If the developers update the game and that file in particular (they did that today) then the mod no longer has key data in it and so you crash.

They updated the quest page.

Get the latest version of Xiview that has the updated data in it.

Xiview can go a long time without being updated, but they changed it today and broke it.

If you arent using anything that would modify your interface in any way, do a check files through POL. Something is corrupted.

A lot of people "file check" and they check pol not xi

You did actually pick 11 from the drop down menu, just to verify. Cause like, we know exactly why the game crashes, and its having the wrong dat file for the quest menu and there aren't many reasons it can be the wrong file.

If you crash when you goto quest it's cause of an old version of xiview. this is always going to be 51.dat (on the english version)

the icons package says nothing about xi view. it was just a cursor and font thing a buddy of mine made, or so he said he did

Post a pic of your icons or something, and we can tell you where to get the new version (or ask him to update it)

Best to delete a random dat prior to check files too, as far as I know it won't checksum all files in the install unless you do. First scan is for missing or outdated files, if it hits anything they all get checked again.

Are you using xipivot? You could have a file in there that is reapplying when you launch the game
