Ffxiv Failed Version Check

Trying to play ffxi, and i get an error after clicking play.its the play in the menue before you get warnings about not neglecting family/friends.after i click play, it'll load up ffxi. But will immedietely close the ffxi window and go back to playonline with this mssg:'Terminated as error occurred in FINAL FANTASY XI. Failed to initialize Direct3D. Please check that this computer has the required specifications to run FINAL FANTASY XI.(-1)'i'm not sure what to do;;, i checked my direct3d, and online says that mine is up to date and working fine.any suggestions welcomed or anyone have similar problem and found solution? Ffxi uses directx 8.1, each numbered directx version is seperate: having directx 11 doesn't mean you have directx 8.1try installing that, and see if it fixes the problem(seeing as ffxi is primarily software rendered and only uses.present on xp, OS and hardware are generally pretty irrelevant.)While it is mostly software on the UI, there are 3D elements (But they're rendered outside in it's own before before being applied to the screen along with the overlay, thus why hardware settings like AA tends not to affect a lot of the components, though FXAA will work regardless). But as a result, some erroneous settings that won't even apply can cause the game to crash if he's forcing it. Quality wise I've always found the best result is just super-sampling the resolution in the registry.But I'm with what is said so far, go and grab directX 8.x, may simply be missing the runtimes, or they may need a reinstall (or the DLLs may need to be re-registered if they were moved or the system is a new one).

Suggestion/Possible fix for your situationThe error mostly like has nothing to do Directx, as you can get this error if you don't have resolution set in the FFXI config. If the setting have been clear out recently it will show up blank in ffxi config.

Running thought it again will reapply the setting back to where they need to be in reg which allow the game to open past the play.Hrm this does make sense, I recall one time when the game updated and had an additional option in the FFXI config, but because I did not go into the config yet to update it's values, the game kept crashing until I realized that. This is quite a common problem, several things you can try, read solutions here:OS can be relevant to the problem because driver is the interface between the OS and your hardware, and directx is basically a layer of librarys built on top (they are, theoretically, backwards compatible, so if you have a later direct x library installed it should technically stuff work, but meh.), hardware. Not so much in this case. And I can't help but agree about the rudeness, you could've just simply asked for those stuff, not everyone is expert at bug reporting. (if he is, chances are he would've googled around first and found his answer). Sorry for necro, but I'm having this problem now. I tried to launch vanilla ff to finish addon missions, no go, same direct 3D quote.
I decided I'd just wait on missions and tried to log in using windower again, and now windower launch crashes as the same point (right after hitting play).

Hey guys i have not been playing but wanted to this weekend - i noticed the 1 gig download needed. And so straight away found a shared boot folder from some1. This worked ofc and the download commenced. However once my download is complete it gives me this error.please see image attached. I had help with this before with the last update but that was just 6 meg so some1 shared the exact files that were updated.in this case its 1 gig.which is pretty big. I seriously hope you guys can help with a suggestion. Thanks in advance.
I used 6 hours trying to fix this problem and i even ghostet the entire game from a friend and had him help me.i later found another forum page saying that your antivirus might be the problem.and with bullguard it isnt enough to shut down the program, but instead: open bullguard go into options. Go in 'Real-time antivirus' and click it to off. When i did this the game started with no futher trouble and when you open the launcher you can enable antivirus again.this might also be worth a try with other antivirus programs.
