One or more of your client settings files, failed to save

[Mimo221003]

I have recently done a fresh install of final fantasy 14 and have discovered that at seemingly random times will pop up telling me "one or more of your client settings files, which include your hotbar settings, failed to save."

I dont know what is causing this and dont know what to do to resolve this issue.

the first time it showed up for me was after i had done a reinstall of windows and i was unavailable to uninstall the game at that time so i had gone into my files and searched up "ffxiv" and removed every file i could find to then reinstall the game.

i have also discovered that im missing the "flying mount roulette" option i dont know if there are other things that i may be missing and i really wish that i can find a way to resolve this issue

Out of curiosity are your FFXIV folders linked to the Microsoft cloud? I get the same error constantly and only got it when I built my current rig and I think that’s when I linked my documents folder to it.

I tried making OneDrive stop synchronize my files and checked ransomware and that solved it.

Though I did also check ransomware to make sure that it wasnt the problem either

Good afternoon and thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

If you have not done so already, could you try the following:


- Allow Administration Privileges (Run As Administrator) to the game's executable file and launch the game.

- Please make sure all background applications (including anti-virus programs such as Norton, Kaspersky, Windows Defender, etc.) have been disabled and/or closed to minimize game interference before attempting to log in.

- While the game is running, open the Task Manager and click the 'Details' tab. Find the game, right click it and select the 'Set Priority' options to 'High.'

- Turn off Fullscreen Optimizations. Find the executable file for the game (normally found in the install folder), right-click it and select 'Properties'. Under the 'Compatibility' tab, check the box labeled 'Disable Fullscreen Optimizations', then click 'Apply'.

- Ensure that the latest version of Internet Explorer is installed on your PC (even if you don’t use Internet Explorer). Please do not use Microsoft Edge for these steps, as that is a different Internet platform.
Once Internet Explorer is up-to-date, please open the Internet Explorer browser’s “Internet Options” by clicking on the “Tools” option (or type Alt+X), then click on the “Internet options” setting. Please adjust the following settings:

- Under the General tab, please delete ALL browsing history by clicking on the “Delete…” button, then selecting all of the options and clicking “Delete” again.
- Under the Security tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible setting, or no higher than “Medium.”
- Under the Privacy tab, look for the Settings section and click on “Advanced,” then Accept First-party Cookies and Third-party Cookies, then check the box that says, “Always allow session cookies” and click OK.
- Under the Advanced tab, look for the Settings section and scroll towards the bottom of the list and check on the setting under Security for “Allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid.”
- Under the same section, make sure that all ‘Use TLS’ options (EXCEPT SSL 3.0) are checked. [Use SSL 3.0 should be unchecked]

Hit “Apply” then “OK” to save the changes.
Please RESTART your PC now.
