Geforce NOW

Would be great to have FFXIV on GFN. GFN works great for other games. Would be great to play FFXIV from GFN too.

nvidia's geforce has been on ff14 for ages. Unfortunately the latest update to nvidia geforce, once again, failed to recognise it for the nvidia filters

so i had to go back to 466.77 again

You're not the only one who wants this, but I'm not sure how this would technically work having to log in through a log in and maintain security. That being said, this needs to happen, or something similar, if they EOL the Mac client so the Apple players have an option.

Game streaming is something MMOs and some other online competitive games have problem with.

WoW was on GFN beta twice and Blizzard wasn't happy, even banned some players that were playing it and took down the game from GFN. Game streaming prevents the game from analyzing what software is active while you are playing the game - anti-cheat/anti-bot systems.

GFN is trying to be as generic as possible so either they make some API that game makers could use or most such games will stay away from game streaming. Other option is a sort of white labeled Google Stadia, assuming it won't end in the graveyard. They already started doing this so they could make a custom clients for specific game - and thus providing extra data MMO anti-cheat would require (this could even allow those system to be integrated into streaming client itself).

And DX12/Metal FF14 client updates are rather inevitable but that likely will be planned alongside some other legacy system devastation....

What's weird is there is many games that use 2 authentications with a launcher. Planetside is one of them. You have to log into Steam plus into a launcher. It also runs battle eye as an anti-cheat. I can understand it will make it harder for the company to run other anti-cheat tool as well as IP-based analytics, but it is not impossible. It's more a question of whether Square Enix wants to invest into that or not. With New World available in GFN, it closes the gap between cloud gaming and MMOs

One of things that may come to play here is hardware ID bans and detection of unknown apps interacting with mouse/keyboard/screen on a low system level (keylogger on steroids). Square Enix knows about ATC usage and so on
