Failed to initialize browser. [11014][1]

Error i get each time i start FFXIV Launcher since 7.21.
How do i fix it?

Same here. Updated FFXIV and now I can't login using Steam.

There's multiple threads already. The solution that seems to be working for people is to reinstall or repair Microsoft Edge WebView2 which is part of the system requirements for the game.

If you're using Linux, it seems you are out of luck, though. I don't believe XIV "officially" supports or works on Linux.

No Edge on my PC and it did work fine yesterday.

I believe you can still have Webview2 without having Microsoft Edge itself installed.

Having the same problem too, and I actively try to delete webview2 and edge, and I never had a problem before. Until AFTER 7.21 happened.

And now for the one question, looking online NONE can answer, how do you find the version you have?

I haven't had issues with mine. I don't use Edge, but I leave it installed. I just did a Google search for Webview2 Runtime download and the first result was the Microsoft page for it.

Updated today, still no change.

Oh I can not be the only one who pays their sub, only to face the reality you have to stop playing, because you literally can not play at all. Right now, it is looking grim.

And fixed. Never thought I would install edge again, but I did anyway. And promptly destroyed everything I could and and exe files, so it will NEVER work again. Do you know where the Edge came from? Me. it was supposed to be a tablet, and taking the name without the design made it personal. Good thing I never gave the name for the evolution of the NEXT tablet after I had in mind. I do NOT trust ms and their spyware. Deleting bing and onedrive file by file is annoying enough. Oh, if you think you can not safely delete "trusted installer" files, if you know what you are doing, you can. Training in IT opens your horizons. It just takes a while and time. And totally worth the effort.
