People have a seriously weird idea of "broke". Catalina is working as intended and exactly how everyone had been told it would be for well over a year. It's on SE and whoever they have contracted that in over a year, they couldn't properly update their client to 64-bit. If other people did THEIR research, they would know this. FFXIV is literally the only still updating piece of software I have that was not properly updated to 64-bit in time for Catalina.

As for the whole "this happens sometimes and they'll fix it" idea...sure. My problem is that we are looking at nearly 2 months until their estimated fix and even that can slip further. 2 months to fix the launcher is, yes, ridiculous.

Amazing the people that will make excuses for SE's poor support for a platform they still charge full price for.
