Posted in beta forums. Reposting here for users enjoyment.

FFXIV is playable on NVIDIA SHIELD!!

Step 1) Set up FFXIV to play borderless windowed
Step 2) Add FFXIV to Steam
Step 3) Configure FFXIV for a XINPUT controller. This is NECESSARY!!!! The SHIELD acts as XINPUT Controller 1 when attached
Step 4) Launch Steam from NVIDIA SHIELD. Log in using keyboard on PC or virtual keyboard on SHIELD.
Step 5) Enjoy

I cant get this to work. I add the game to my steam library but when i launch it from nvidia shield nothing happens. its like i didnt even click the button but when i check the log it creates in my ffxiv folder i get this

22:58:38 [0x000015CC, ERROR] Launcher::Launch threw an exception

Failed to start external process

any ideas? all my other games launch fine including Tera.


EDIT: so i got it to work by removing the SweetFX files I was using to enhance the graphics (my god this game is beautiful with the right tweeks) so it works.
Except that the android keyboard wont pop up so I cant type my password in the launcher. Its always something lol

are you sure you did only this because I have the same problem as you but I never installed sweetfx

Edit: nvm it turned out that the nvidia shield program is stupid it wont run any program that I have checked ad run as admin just had to uncheck it lol

Use a "two finger touch" to bring up the shield overlay menu. Click on Keyboard, and voila.

Edit: or walk over to the PC to log in... haha

yea shield is playing this game flawless. The first MMO to be played on a portable device I believe. I hope the community discovers this thread and gets a Nvidia Shield. Its a really impressive device. Playing FF14 anywhere in the house is really really cool.

This is exactly what I'll be doing with PS4+Vita I can wait a bit.

Akiro_soryu so I have to ask about Kainy, does it essentially give you a lower latency vpn to your PC?

PSO2 has been on the Vita for over a year.

I actually activated my forum account just to share the big news that came out of nVidia today. The SHIELD will be compatible with more devices, laptop GPU's, better KB/M support over Bluetooth, streaming while you're away from home (if you have 5Mbit up/down at least), and last but not least - FREAKING PORTAL!
