Steam Launcher not working

[geminipestdeath]

Same issue on my husband's computer for the last hour or two. Yay. I tried uninstalling the game and deleted every FFXIV file on his PC but even trying a clean install gives me a Steam connection popup error, then a technical issue warning when we attempt to launch it for the first time.

So now we'll have to go through the hours-long full reinstall process whenever this gets fixed. And husband won't be pleased when he realizes all his settings are gone since he spent yesterday evening redoing his hotbars and I'm sure forgot to make a backup since he exited the game once he was done... I'd much prefer it if we'd bought the Windows version.

Yeah if it's one thing I learned the last time this happened, a full re-install will not fix the issue and will only compound the problems. It doesn't help you now, but... At least you know for the future and at the very least can warn others.

.... Yanno while also warning potential new players never to purchase this game on Steam.

I don't know, works perfectly fine for me. Oh wait, I'm not using steam...

Seriously, ppl in fc complain about steam login not working.

If only we could buy the regular PC option and play with the same account instead of going through steam...

With the linking of accounts, access to the game became prone to failure.
Please just let ppl separate their accounts from steam, vast amount of people affected by this would gladly pay for that "service" or even rebuy the game.

+1.

it's been more than two hour. How long will we need to wait?

And how long do we need to wait for a simple acknowledgement from SE that there is an ongoing issue? I work in IT. If we allowed an issue to go on this long without even an acknowledgment, heads would roll.

I would love love love to have the option to remove my game from Steam and swap it over to standalone so I can actually play the game that I pay a monthly subscription for... This is infuriating. Steam is dropping the ball for SE right now.

I experience the same issue.

Since Steam has strategically made it impossible to report this issue in an intelligible way, I think perhaps its time we make ourselves impossible to ignore. Call 425-889-9642 and press 0 to leave a message in their inbox. I already have.
