Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

What have you tried so far to alleviate the issue?

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

Ive tried adjusting my graphics settings to low, and then tried adjusting them to various degrees. Same results every time. Also it only happens on the 2nd boss in the Tower of Babil.

Greetings fellow Eorzean,

We would like to further assist with this issue. Please provide a system report from the game by going to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.' Copy and paste the details of the selection to this post when replying back.

We look forward to your reply back.

I already stated that the MacOS launcher does not have that feature. On Macs when you select Config from the launcher, the only 2 options you get are 'Backup Tool' and 'Reset System Settings.' It is not the same as PC.

Also it also freezes at the boss Livia the Undeterred, when she is casting Aglaea Climb.

Hello,
