Hey FFXIAH!

Got a problem here. When I start up windower and go from PlayOnline Viewer to the Game, while its loading the plugins/addons it freezes. In order to close it I have to end the task compeltely. This problem only happens part of the time so i usually just close it and start over again

Thank You!

Same problem. This seemed to star since the last update a few days ago. I am not sure why or how to fix it though.

Windower.net has a support thread and bug tracker for 4.0 since it's still early. I'd check the bug list over there and make a report if it's not already present.

I run on Windows 8 and haven't had any issues. Maybe it's your OS not jiving with 4?

I am using windower 8. This only happened after that small update a few days ago. Those few files.

I get this on both of my systems, and they are quite different. one is Windows 8 64bit, and the other is Windows 7 32bit. The freeze usually happens on either gearcollector, spellcast or drawdistance (one of those will be the last red console text shown during startup).

On Wednesday it took me 3 tries to log one of my chars in, usually only happens once. I've noticed elsewhere people recommending you put a longer delay in the autoexec.ini or whatever it's called, but that value seems to get overwritten whenever you made a change from the Windower 4 gui again. Also loading all the plugins manually once you're in the game has been suggested as a fix, but that's too much hassle for me.

Probably just subjective, but I find it occurs more if I've got Chrome open with a bunch of website tabs, so maybe it's memory resource issue, total guess.

*edit* meant to say I've been having this problem for months, ever since W8 beta came out

I run on 7 and it's been flawless since I've downloaded it. It's probably a plugin. Try unloading all plugins and logging in and then reloading them to see which one is making you crash.

Today, I saw Doluka post again.


I often get an error and then just /shutdown and log back in. About 50% of the time it downloads a new version and then works fine.

Try This

It is probably draw distance or infobar. Disable auto load to test. It worked for me.
