[Client Suggestion]File Checker

Also I have tweaked ALL my graphical settings and everything else in FFXIV Config when i did have these issues and they still persisted until reinstalling. Just because YOU have never heard of something does not mean it does not exist nor does it devalue the experiences others may have with said issue.

Regardless of that this is something this game could benefit from and not be harmed in any way so i see no reason not to have it added sooner or later.

I think someone is thinking of flashing ads and other animations, but really it would just be how its programmed, currently the launcher requires IE to work, its dependant on IE settings and things.

If you remove IE, or try to install via wine in linux or OSX you also need to install IE just for the game to launch, using flash would remove the need for other software (paticularly all the back doors in IE, IE fails and its time is over)

IE9 is quite good, not that i use it. but this game wasn't designed to run on linux and you know that going in you will have to take extra steps for it to run.. I personally don't want the game to require flash which is dying as is. its bloated and its crap. Adobe decides to update and bam the launcher could be broken. Keep it browser based.. OR make the login in c and not bother with either

Why does it have to be any of web-based technologies? What's wrong with an actual INGAME login screen? As for filecheck, just integrate it into the patcher/launcher part of the game. And just use a native windows GUI for it, I don't see why it has to be rendered in 3D.

flash based instead of browser based? dear god no.. NOOOOOOO. no

Most other MMO's use flash based clients don't they ?

I dunno they are better than the crap client we have right now, we don't even get news updates via the client (granted that's got more to do with SE's lack of programming skillz lol)

Using flash for the client is nothing, you got bigger problems seeing as how Yoshi-p wants to use Flash for addons .. ROFL

I agree the game could need it.

Also @mushy, I have never had any flash based problems, also the only reason flash is dying is because of the new HTML5 standard supporting most things flash does, however flash will still be used for other things, the reason people use flash for MMO launchers is because it is relatively easy to program and alot of companies already have people to code for flash for thier websites.

It does have a fair bit of life yet.

I like this one, seems simple enough.

use flash for addons? that has to be a joke.. do you mean like user interface addons people could make?

Added another picture of pants error.

Ive got a 1.5 TB WD black Edition drive, i've narrowed down my missing Textures to none other than fragmented files. if it takes too long to load, the client seems to just stop trying. I've fixed this by getting Auslogics Disk Defrag and performing the Defrag&Optimize files option.

(Auslogics is free and works wonders, its much better and faster than the ancient Sysinternals Disk Defrag windows uses.)

Yea they will be user made addons, won't be forced upon you but the fact they are considering Flash for addons at all sounds to me like they have no idea.
