OS X El Capitan - Mac Client Status

[Galadrium]

I upgraded to El Capitan today and now when I launch FFXIV it minimizes itself after I complete the login. I see active and running the cutscene video when I launch Mission Control but when I click on it, to make it the active window, it immediately minimizes again.

Well, as I expected: On my side nothing has improved. It's the same thing before and after.

Same thing for me. Gosh and i was looking forward to this.

Strange I don't get any problems like that. I finally upgraded to El Capitan, but I don't get any problems. It doesn't perform any better.

This is pretty much what i get:

I'm having some weird issues since upgrading to El Capitan as well. All windowed mode resolutions are way off, half pushed off the screen and the mouse doesn't visually line up with where the cursor is active in the game. It does work okay full screen, but feels more sluggish than before. And then I started having weird keyboard issues... like it was completely remapped and then not working and lagging really bad. The keyboard issue may be unrelated, but only happened after logging into the game, and hasn't recurred again since restarting after logging in.

Maybe there will only be a perfomance increase if they make an update that makes use of the Metal API?

open "~/Library/Application Support/FINAL FANTASY XIV/p_drive/User/My Documents/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn/FFXIV.cfg" in your text editor

Change in "<Display Settings>"
ScreenMode 0 to 1

(=Full screen mode)

Ya, that's what it will happen. They will need to update the game to use Metal. But so far, from what I've been reading, there are some mixed tests with Metal vs OpenGL. Metal winning some, OpenGL winning other benchmarks. We'll have to wait for Transgaming or SquareEnix to implement this. The gold master version of el capitan has been out for a while now. I just hope we hear something about this soon.

This is exactly what has happened to me too, and I have found nothing online that can help fix this. The text editor suggestion is useless to me at this point, my knowledge with my mac isn't as advanced as that and have no idea where to being with it. This is beyond frustrating!

El capitain has some teething problems, we can't upgrade at work as Archicad (cad software) has issues with it at the moment.
