Ok theirs this game i play Final Fantasy XI made by Square Enix.

Its a MMORPG (massive multi player online role playing game).

Every month or so SE does an update to improve, add new content. The recent one has been causing quite a few issues.

Before March the 8th update everything was running fine, the people that play FFXI where able to log on like they normally do.

Now its time to update FFXI (March 8th) so you go through the update process it took roughly 3-4 hours then get onto the game and then the problems begin.

So you log on and do what you do and then you want to move to a new area and when you do this the screen normally turns black for about 5 secs with acquiring data in the bottom right and your in a new area. Simple.

But instead of this happening when you zone all you get is a black screen so you have to D/C manually and start but it just happens all the time.

This is happening to about half of the player base but the other half is fine.

SE has said that they have done checks on their servers and everything is fine, its your end (Users).

Anyone that has knowledge in Networks, if you can, could you explain what might be happening.

Thank you
