Thread: Mac Launcher Frozen After 6.4 Patch Update

What if we can’t upgrade our OS ? Is the solution buying a new computer ?
Cause I can’t upgrade anything anymore on mine, but it worked perfectly since yesterday

Once into the game, it running super slow (6fps) and is unplayable

The Mac meets spec:

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
3.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon R9 M395 2 GB

Previous to 6.4 it was running fine on Monterey 12.6

Has performed a complete reinstall of the client. Still performing badly

The thing is we can still play with a Windows 7 OS from 2009, it's considered Antique only when it's Mac... cause we can only play with Catalina from 2019. That's really sad, and I find it quite unfair. Cause it's really expensive so maybe I'll have to stop playing if they don't fix that

I can finally access the game, but the loading screen takes much longer than before, and the game itself has a lot of lag, with freezing instances.

Now, I'm using a 2013 macbook pro so I was expecting a day like this to come... but not before 7.0 and the major graphic overhaul. :/

My computer is a dinosaur in tech standards but against all odds it still ran the game perfectly fine before the patch update.

I'm way overdue when it comes to replacing my mac, but now is just not the good time for that, so I hope they manage to fix whatever broke the game after 6.4. :/

hope tomorrow's update will fix our problems...

So the hot fix didn’t help my in any case. It made it worse, now I log into a black screen from which I can’t do much more. I’ll try to re-install the game after clearing all leftover files but other than that I’m out of options.

Have you tried using XIV on Mac to launch the game?

Do you mean playing the game using the mac client? Because yes, I always play using the mac client!
