Post subject:  Log preventing me from using menus

Hello,
I have recently started on this server. I am having an issue where if my log is showing 1 or more lines I am unable to access any menus. This includes the game menu, combat menu, npc chat menu etc. I can move around but I also cannot target any monsters or npcs while the log in showing. I have tried looking through the config troubleshooting wiki but I am not seeing this issue listed.

I am on 1080P Windows 10
Playing the game on a secondary monitor (1920x1080) - Primary monitor also at 1920x1080. Using primary monitor did not resolve the issue.
I have set Ashita to run as admin.
I have changed compatibility to Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: Application.

Any ideas?

It sounds like the log is "Selected". When yoou hit the + on the num pad and then enter is how you expand logs. Try hitting escape the next time this happens.

I have to do that every time to be able to do anything.

For example when speaking with an NPC their chat dialogue shows in the log and then it opens a menu for how to interact with the NPC. However in my case because the log is active from my talking to the npc the menu doesn't show. And if I hit esc it stops talking to the NPC first then started closing the log.

Here is a quick youtube video I just made kind of showing it. You can see when the log is not open I can open menus but when the log is up from my interaction with Harara it doesn't open the menu. There is a quick flash like it's trying to but then just closes immediately.

This is a rare Ashita bug that was never fixed. You can play without using Ashita, or maybe you can try re-installing the game to see if that does anything.

OK thanks for the reply. I will try reinstalling it.

Thanks for the suggesting but a reinstall did not fix this issue. I have already tried installing Ashita v3. I was able to get the game running but ran into the same issue. Can I use other applications such as windower to open this or how do I play on this server without Ashita?

I can't provide support for using Windower.

To connect without Ashita, you can create a shortcut for C:\NasomiXI\SquareEnix\Ashita\ffxi-bootmod\boot.exe and then right clicking it.

Change the Target to C:\NasomiXI\SquareEnix\Ashita\ffxi-bootmod\boot.exe --server nasomi.com --hairpin

Just as a followup in case this issue pops up in the future. I played with some settings and found that if I play the game windowed with show border selected it will not let me access my menus however once I removed the "show border" option in the window configurations for Ashita it started working fine. I know this may not be a problem or fix for everyone but it is something to try in case anyone else has the same issue in the future.

Thank you for the solution Takashix2, unchecking show border solved the deal.
