Best advice.

The only strange thing that happened to me yesterday, after the patching, is that POL re-launched itself without lauching the game.
Without me noticing, this automatic re-launch was with VANILLA POL, not Windower POL.
When I went in-game and noticed there were no addons, "ins" key wasn't working to make the console popup etc, it took me a few seconds to realize that was actually Vanilla FFXI.

Simply shutting down and re-starting Windower fixed everything for me. I haven't logged back in today after the patch since I'm at work, but hopefully situation is still stable for me!

It literally says its doing that.

But it launches without the hook, hence:

Seems a bit overkill though; just update pol, close it when it re-opens on its own, then open with your usual shortcut.

The reboots are to ensure there's no lingering processes active, which seems to be happening quite a bit for various reasons. Yeah it's a bit overkill, but by doing it you're making 100% sure there's no file locks, which throw a wrench into things.

Why is this? You're referring to the one just outside the MH, right? Or was there somehow a point where you could have it IN the MH?

When one used to change main jobs and exit a MH you were prompted to set your Home Point. I guess that got patched out a long time ago cause I forgot about that! Was so annoying sitting a blank dark screen after exiting

I think that got removed when they made Home Points able to warp you.
