Mac Launcher Frozen After 6.4 Patch Update

[MiniTofu]

So despite trying everything (clean boot, upgrading OS, re-installing the game), the game just doesn't run as well as before 6.4

I can finally access the game, but the loading screen takes much longer than before, and the game itself has a lot of lag, with freezing instances.

Now, I'm using a 2013 macbook pro so I was expecting a day like this to come... but not before 7.0 and the major graphic overhaul. :/

My computer is a dinosaur in tech standards but against all odds it still ran the game perfectly fine before the patch update.

I'm way overdue when it comes to replacing my mac, but now is just not the good time for that, so I hope they manage to fix whatever broke the game after 6.4. :/

I was checking the macOS spec here; they recently updated this for the new version.

Recommended M1 or 2020 model higher now. Looks like you may have to upgrade your hardware at this point now.


Currently running on M1 Pro fine here.




What about the "XIV on Mac"? https://www.xivmac.com/my-mac-suppor...atibility-list


Looks like your hardware is beyond too old now. It's 10 years old 2013 MacBook Pro laptop = 20 years old desktop equivalent. Time to move on.
