Mac OS Client fails to launch WINE errors

macOS Monterey MacBook Pro 16inch 2019, i9, 16GB RAM, Radeon Pro 5500M 4GB

I am unable to launch the client after a recent update. I was able to run it a few days ago without incident. Since I have been unable to launch the client I have attempted to troubleshoot on my own. I attempted the following:
upgrade to 12.7.6 Monterey
reinstall *several times
reboot / powercycle
removed wine64-preloader, which broke the client completely with it flashing and crashing immediately instead of restoring functionality like posts on forums suggested: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/430999

After reinstalling I still get FFxiv loading errors with Windows Emulator attempting to emulate Win7 64bit with Wine Logs showing

FFXIV program error window

"The program ffxivlauncher64.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."

Showing Details presents the log entry:

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x000000007b5b6e2c in 64-bit code (0x000003a0478bc4).

I have attempted all I can do. This was working a few days ago after attempting an update I am stuck in this situation. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I should also mention that I had used Security and Privacy settings on MacOS to grant full disk access to the FFXIV application

I also do not want to run the XIV on Mac. I paid for the software and license.

Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

There are several situations that can cause the error you are describing. Please try the following troubleshooting methods to resolve the issue:
- Update/reinstall your graphics card drivers (If applicable)
- Update your MacOS software/firmware
- Disable all programs/overlays running in the background (Found in Force Quit)
- Cap the frame-rate limit to 30 or 60 FPS within the game
- Lower the in-game graphics settings
- Make sure your anti-virus software has the appropriate exceptions for Final Fantasy XIV

Launching the Mac in Safe Mode: restart the Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key. The Apple logo should appear on your display. Release the Shift key when you see the login window. Then, please restart the computer once more.

Should the issue persist after attempting all the listed troubleshooting, we advise that you try reverting to a previous macOS version as it may have been more stable. We may suggest trying to revert back to the macOS Monterey 12.4 to see if it helps with the issue.

We hope this information is helpful! Thank you once again for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!
