I want to say around five weeks ago I started crashing in FFXI irregularly. Zoning, doing nothing, just moving, etc. Nothing to pinpoint the crash. Windows report says AppHangB1 on pol.exe is the issue. I tried to Google the issue but couldn't find anything solid, or I missed it.
My C:\ drive is an Intel 535 240gb SSD (five years old) that has been in "Caution 1% remaining" status per Crystal Disk Info for months if not possibly a year+. Some sites say it's an issue with the program that even brand new SSDs will read caution 1% remaining. FFXI is on a 2TB drive that houses other games and some documents. Crystal Disk says it's "Normal". I've owned that drive for roughly six years.
Something else that may or may not be involved with the issue is in Event Viewer I'm getting errors for "Disk 6/7/8 has surprise disappeared". I do not have a disk 6, 7, or 8. I do not run virtual machines.
I'm debating on replacing the C:\ drive and/or the drive FFXI is on. I wanted to ask here if anyone else has ran into this issue with FFXI and/or if a fix has been found.
