I got that too, and if I'm not mistaken that's because wine isn't properly installed. The problem is that (I think) wine doesn't emulate your c folders correctly. I tried to bypass this by installing in another location but that didn't work. Reinstall wine, make sure that it installs proper and then make sure that you get the DLL'S in the correct folder

Your mac's Downloads folder doesn't have anything to do with WINE.

Also, you should never have to even open the NasomiXI.v.20 folder through the terminal, since you can install it perfectly fine just by double clicking it...

after hours of playing with the coding in terminal i realized that the guide states to type NasomiXI.v.20/ when in actuality the file name is XI.V20 without the extra period. that worked. i was able to login and start playing last night. im level 9 WAR in sandy. thanks to everyone for the troubleshooting....

only issues im trying to work through now is the text is sooooo small i cant read anything. i have no idea how much HP i have or how many items are in a stack in my inventory, or what the chat log says because everything is so tiny....

and the game sometimes crashes when i zone.
any tips for those?

Reduce Menu Size in your FFXI config to increase the size of the UI

Got everything running and im able to play. Should i be concerned about overheating? I have the macbook propped up on some books to allow it to vent out better, but im too scared to play more than a few hours in a sitting because i dont want to fry my new laptop. Any input is appreciated. Love the server. Everyone is sooo helpful

I don't think you have to be super worried! Mine gets loud too when running games or many heavy programs at once. Just try to make sure to give it as good ventilation as possible and try to not run too much at once ( for example Google Chrome with many tabs up + gaming is something that makes it work hard)

Edit: the macbook also have a built in auto shutdown if it gets too hot

Thanks dahl. That makes me feel better. I appreciate it.
