FFXIV Boot Error on Mac

[Tohato]

Is that El Capitan I spy in the background? Maybe there's an issue since OSX 10.11 is still in beta?

looks like a pc directory path and an .exe app ref. are you running the windows installer using some sort of emulator?

Apparently THAT is the Mac client we got. A poorly-implemented emulator wrapped around the Windows executable.

eek...ive been playing in bootcamp today because amazon cant figure out the installer url...and possibly the right reg codes. :P

haha it is, good eye! but nope I don't see this being an issue with 10.11

Correct! I have fixed this issue by copying the content from my Windows Partition and putting it into the application in the correct paths which has resolved that issue and got the launcher running. it seems as if someone may have forgotten to insert some files into the user/documents/ my games/ FFXIV folder.

though now I'm able to get the launcher up and running and able to launch the game though when it does its launches and disappears from the screen almost like its minimized but i can't bring it back up *sigh* though its still progress and i'll take it as a win. Though I'm putting a lot of effort into getting this thing running lol.

:O Seriously? Ohhh the irony. I thought messing "in" Windows was history when I got a Mac.
I've spent hours figuring out how to launch the game. It just didn't. Apparently I had to allow unidentified publishers in my security settings. /sigh I don't have the patience for all that experimenting and tweaking anymore. Was fun 15 years ago, but now I just want it to work with 1 single click. ^_^

Back to PS4 for me! That works with a single bleep!

Kudos for your effort and persistance.

Did you ever figure out why the game was only viewable in Mission Control view? I'm having the same problem and its frustrating when you can see the client running, but can't maximize it to play...

Please keep us posted. I'm interested to see if there are any performance gains from Yosemite if and when you guys get this figured out. Thanks
