Often I will remote into my home PC via various Remote Access services in order to play FFXI while I'm away from home. It works well, but every time I begin a Remote Session, the game crashes. It seems that this is due to the Remote Session adjusting the Resolution in order to display properly at my remote location. This can be particularly annoying if I temporarily lose connection during a fight and need to reconnect. Is there any way to avoid this? Currently playing in borderless windowed (fake fullscreen) mode @ 1920x1080.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a Remote Access program that does not have this effect when beginning the session? I have only tried a few (RemotePC, ChromeRDP). TeamViewer seems to work around it, but I cannot use TeamViewer from work.

There is no way to avoid this using normal RDP sessions. As you said, only something like teamviewer, which does something more akin to streaming the desktop than logging into it remotely, gets around it.

Was the same with Retail. Tried doing the same thing (from work). Got it to work with some GotToMeeting sort of software they used at work... but, only in windowed mode, and it was choppy framerates. IDK if it was the service, or the T1 speeds of the day (possibly a combination). All it was good for was hitting the AH or crafting... the delays made even fishing too frustrating.
