Regarding the End of Windows® 8.1 Support

For those not looking at the splash screen news ...

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...1fb5c91428b4b5

Square Enix support for the Windows® 8.1 of FINAL FANTASY XIV will end on January 10, 2023.

Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for PCs running Windows® 8.1 after January 10, 2023, so we have found that continuing support for this operating system is a difficult proposition.

You will likely be able to play FINAL FANTASY XIV on Windows® 8.1 systems even after the end of support. However, after we discontinue support, we will as a general rule no longer be able to provide support for problems arising as a result of the operating system.

Square Enix may respond to requests for technical support regarding Windows® 8.1 issues after the end of support, but such informal support will be limited, on a case-by-case basis, and is not guaranteed.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

So they could introduce DirectX 12 or Vulkan support. Because after January 10, 2023 every supported plattform can run it. :)


Cheers

Vulkan is the successor of OpenGL. :)
