Relaunching the installer and starting again, seems to have gotten past the issue.

Login is successful however when selecting character, the game can't start due to Unable to create character config data error as shown in image

Tried creating a new character but the error persists

Pressing the enter/return key after filling in the OTP no longer triggers the login process; I can tab to the username field and hit enter there and it works.

I think this started after upgrading to 3.3 but I'm not 100% sure of that; it certainly is happening in 3.3.1.

The error says: "The login servers did not present the login challenge the way we were expecting. It may have changed on the server. Please check for an update to XIV on Mac to fix this. In the meantime please use the default launcher."

After it appears, launcher is starting with black screen and closes in a few seconds. I'm using 3.0.0 XIV on Mac at Macbook Pro 16 with M1 Pro. Mac OS Monterey 12.2.1 (21D62)

Hello, So, basically CrossOver 20/21 has problems with running 32-bit code on AMD cpus: https://github.com/AMD-OSX/bugtracker/issues/6 Not really discussing issue here, because nobody knows really why it happens (some people tells that it's 32 bit code exec fault, some tells you that it's caused by PAT patch stuff etc.), the issue also happens on XIV-on-Mac mod.

What we can do about it? There are two things to consider - waiting for CrossOver 22, and checking if it resolves AMD CPU support (since it uses odd ldt calls logic as solution to 32-bit code removal since Catalina), or, resolving the mod to not use 32-bit code at all. And I think the second option is far far better, because we really don't know if CrossOver 22 will resolve the issue, but I heard from CodeWeavers member that they want to change the solution (maybe to VT-d based)?

Also, if there is anybody with AMD Hackintosh - testers are wanted. I know there are various CPUs, that can be affected and not really sure if it happens outside Ryzen series and if there is no necessity to write another solution. Also I'm quite interested in the performance on various builds, but this is other problem.

Worth mentioning that threadrippers don't have 32-bit code bug!

Hello, thanks for this useful software.

I updated to version 3.6. It can't save state on settings.

SettingsGeneralController.swift is work. But, SettingsGraphicsController.swift and SettingsPluginsController.swift and SettingsAdvancedController.swift are not working.

The login servers did not accept the request. Please make sure you have a stable network connection to the FFXIV servers. I'm using Steam version, Steam is running.

Hi all,

First of all, thank you for providing this wonderful tool. It worked very well on my Intel Mac, which is reassuring because I'm looking at Mac upgrading options.

One of the main tools I use together with my Bootcamp version of FF14 is the Advanced Combat Tracker. It appears the ACT parser does not work on the version of XIV on Mac I have installed - v3.1.4.

I was able to install ACT by following the guides on https://www.xivmac.com/act-parser. (It is a bit out dated for v3.1.4) However I cannot launch the executable after installation. I can launch the uninstall executable but not the one that starts the main ACT app.

Howdy FOM Team,

I get the following error when attempting to login using both v2.2.1 and v2.3.0 of FOM.

The above always happens after entering credentials and attempting to login. You'll notice the launcher attempts to open the game but then the wined3d.dll error occurs.

This is very similar to an error the official launcher gives me if I login but fail to launch the game in a timely manner (I'll attempt to recreate and post this dialogue if requested).

Running: 13" Macbook Pro M1 (2020) 16 GB RAM MacOS Monterey 12.1 Full Mac license of the game, operates normally using the official launcher. When I first attempted this w/ v2.2.1 I used the Sym-link option to install FOM.

Available on Discord in the server, same screen name w/ Tester role - feel free to contact me there as well.

XIV on Mac Alpha v2.0.1 M1 Pro chip, 16GB RAM, macOS Monterey 12.1

This one's pretty simple, but I figured I'd mention it since I bumped into it, and others are also likely to do so.

I was previously using the version of this project that installed via Crossover, which appears to have resulted in a configuration that causes the game to attempt to use the newest version of the launcher, despite having deleted the bottle. This causes the game to fail to launch as a result, hanging on a blank launcher page.

This can be rectified by deleting the ~/Documents/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn folder and reinstalling XIV on Mac -- it seems possible that just deleting the FFXIV_BOOT.cfg file without a reinstall would fix this, though I didn't test it.

It may be to the project's benefit to delete the file if it exists, as it seems likely people will eventually migrate over to this project from the old one.

This also brings up the issue that there's seemingly no documented uninstall guide -- I believe it's as simple as deleting the application and the ~/Library/Application Support/XIV on Mac folder, but mentioning that somewhere obvious would be nice!

Is it possible to select the path in which the files would be downloaded to? I don't have enough room on my laptop to fit everything to download and move after the fact.

What Happened

• I've symlinked game/movie to somewhere outer in my desktop installation (for some reason)
• I copied it from desktop over SMB – so link broke, FFXIVApp.installed = false
• there was broken link game/movie that blocks mkdir or any subdirectory access
• installer shows 'Complete', however logging in opens installer again

Reproduce

#  any installation destination here
cd ~/Library/Application Support/XIV on Mac/ffxiv/game
mv movie movie_
touch movie

then log in, 'no installation found', choose installed folder, 'Complete', log in, …

I know this is damn rare and almost-never-gonna-be-happen, but imo, in this case Installer should fail and show correct I/O error message.

Hi!

Ever since I changed my Mac OS account's username (and therefore, my home folder name), the game cannot launch past the character selection screen, with the usual "unable to create character config data". It is not a permission issue, as I have checked and "XIV on Mac" has full disk access.

My guess is that somewhere deep inside some cache, the game is still instructed to look into a folder from inside my old home folder: I also noticed that when trying to reset config from the "Troubleshoot" menu, I also get an error claiming that I have not given permission to the app.

The sad thing is that I thought I could fix it by re-installing the game, but to no avail! I deleted everything about XIV on Mac in Application Support, Caches, .config and all, but when I re-install and re-launch the app, it somehow still cannot create character data!

Anybody knows how to eradicate XIV on Mac once and for all, to see if that would fix my issue?

Thanks!

As the title says, i get a wine crash window when closing the game with dalamud enabled, with or without any plugins installed.

Hey, just started looking into FF XIV/this repo today and I had no idea that I have to register for the free trial.

I managed to log in once and click on something about downloading the full game, but then the launcher crashed (or rather stopped responding) so I decided to kill it and restart. After that I wasn't able to log in again and the following message was displayed:

I assume this message comes directly from Square Enix or something and it is quite clear, fair enough. However after I clicked 'OK', the subsequent attempts to log in resulted in 'Invalid password' message (or something along the lines of it) and that got me confused. After I figured out how to register for the free trial the message disappeared completely.

Is this 'invalid password' message (which unfortunately I don't have documented in any way) fixable or is that also coming from Square Enix side? Maybe some kind of check after receiving that first message could be added?

As a side note, the \r\n is not parsed :)

I was unable to use gshade, so, I selected in the XIVonMac toolbar to attempt to install gshade manually, and selected to update it in there, however, now I'm getting 'Internal Dalamud Error has Occurred' when attempting to start the game, despite Dalamud being disabled in the XIVonMAC settings. launcher.log

Is there a way to reinstall just this section without needing to reinstall FFXIV itself again?
