It's so odd - why are the forums for such a big game abandoned?

Daily post - still not working & still not acknowledged
Same issue here. It also works if you remove/rename steamclient64.dll from your Steam folder before launching the game.
Here's a dump of the process when it's hanging, not that it's super helpful. Seems like there's some issue with the way this game is using the steam API

gonna try this rn. That would mean a permanent fix without having to close steam each time?
EDIT: Works. Tried multiple times while having Steam on. Not sure if or how this fix affects any other instalations of games, but this appears to be a PERMANENT fix.
3 months later, a member of a gaming community comes up with a solution that SE and STEAM could not. Just wow..
I have updated OP headline based on this - thank you for this @Yate
I did some more experimenting, no need to rename/remove steamclient64.dll in the Steam Folder.
Instead, I renamedinsideCode:steam_api64.dll
toCode:<Steam Folder>\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIV Online\boot
That seems to consistently work for me, and it persists through Steam restarting. I'm assuming it will work until FFXIV pushes an update for that file. Again, not sure what the consequences are, but it allows me to play the game without quitting Steam.Code:steam_api64-bak.dll
Interesting - within Final Fantasy XIV Online I don't have a boot to steam file, but I do have a 'boot' folder, and within that, similarly named files, but none that match exactly what you shared above. I'll make a backup and mess around renaming and see.... thanks a lot for sharing.
