| This page is intended to be a "by noobies for noobies" type of guide that helps adventurers like me with no past FFXI experience enjoy their journey through Vana'diel.

| === Game Settings and Quirks ===
| |
| | |
| As any 20 year old game would, FFXI has a few settings you'll probably want to change and a few quirks that are good to be aware of.
| |
| | |
| ===== Game Crashes and Black Screens =====
| |
| | |
| On my PC, and for most others I've checked with, any application that wants to grab the full screen (like a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control Windows UAC prompt]) will crash my game. This is also true for me when running the game in Fullscreen mode and hitting '''alt+tab''' or '''ctrl+alt+delete'''. The best solution for this that I'm aware of is to run your game in Windowed mode via the Horizon XI Launcher's settings.

| During your time in game, and especially in Jeuno, you will occasionally load into a new zone only to find yourself staring at a black screen with "Downloading" in the bottom-right corner. As far as I know this happens to everyone, and simply reconnecting will be your best bet when you run into this issue. If you're heading out from Jueno to meet with a party it can be very helpful to write down the party leaders name in case your "Black Screen" on the way out. I've also had a couple of times where the whole party will be enjoying some XP grinds in a popular area like Valkurm Dunes and suddenly the whole zone will experience a black screen.
