A Very Welcome Improvement To Game's Launcher

[TheVigilant]

eh if you're gonna talk with ffxiv friends and not use discord then your options are kinda limited. how is the launcher supposed to know it's you? you may have multiple characters on a service account. there's being considerate and then there's being ignorant and oblivious to game limitations.

And then there is reading the posts properly before replying. I mentioned Blizzard's game launcher, go download it and experience the future, which existed already on that side more than 5 years ago.

Yet almost a year later and...

There, there, now...

In order to please the masses, perhaps I should have stayed with Prince Nuada-- one of my test character's name in 1.0 beta? That was too literal and ostentatious but I did like the character in Hellboy 2.

The name "Ramesses" - From Ramesses II, one of the greatest Egyptian Pharaohs. Since childhood, I've been into old classical films and watched "Ten Commandments" starring Yul Brynner as Pharaoh Ramesses... loved the movie and everything about ancient Egypt ever since.

By the way, numerous research historians have confirmed he was not the Pharaoh indicated in the biblical Exodus ...(that was Amenhotep II); nonetheless the movie still remains one of the top ten most financially successful films ever made, grossing over $65 million back in its time which, adjusting for inflation, is over $2 Billion in 2017.

The surname "Atreides" - From House Atreides, one of the prominent Great Noble Houses of Frank Herbert's Dune universe (an epic series I first read when I was about twelve), also eventually watching both the six-part Sci-Fi movie version of 2003 and the old classic 1984 version. Origin of the Atreides name "Atreus" actually ties into ancient Greek history and Homer's "The Iliad"

Yeah I agree. FFxiv launcher is pretty horrible. The fact that it relies on Internet Explorer alone is pretty bad. In short the launcher is just loading a web page.

My sentiments exactly.

@Krojak, can you explain in more detail what exactly is happening with the launcher? Screenshots?

If you've ever had problems with the launcher such as just an all black screen and not loading, you need to go into IE (or control panels) > Internet Options > Advanced tab and click "Reset" under the "Reset Internet Explorer Settings" to fix the launcher.

I've had it happen once.
