Hey everyone,I purchased FFXIV on Steam last November and have been playing seriously for months now, just recently completing my first Relic Zeta.I am concerned about having my account linked with Steam and the potential problems with the upcoming Heavensward expansion as well as future expansions. I plan to play this game for a long time, and I do not want to experience any problems whatsoever because I purchased the game through Steam.Should I be concerned with having my account locked into Steam-only access? You are not locked into any 'Steam-only' access. Don't believe me? Uninstall the Steam client completely. Delete the FFXIV folder/etc (or really. Just run the ffxivlauncher.exe directly).What's happening is that if you used a Steam FFXIV game code to register the game to your SE account at the Mogstation.
Your SE account has a FFXIV that allows the use of the Steam Wallet.For the upcoming expansion, they've also decided to make it mandatory that 'Steam FFXIV must have Steam Heavensward'. That's it.-Think about it. Petitions because of the 'uproar' over something that hasn't even started selling. And all they are doing is. If you have the base game on Steam, buy the expansion on Steam. Most of the other games are on Steam are doing exactly this.Why aren't there similar things about there being four regions of the game? You buy an EU version.
You need an EU version for the expansion right? But just like Steam and non-Steam, we play on the same servers/etc.Tempest in a tea cup.-Besides Valve promised that if Steam ever went belly-up, they'd take care of the DRM. Presumably the 'Steam-onry' thing will be removed too.
Linear has been going on like this for a while, but doesn't seem to want to understand what's happening here.The only 'purchasing decisions' you're currently (read: probably not going to last) bound to is needing to purchase the expansions via Steam since the keys they distribute are the only ones that work with Steam-given keys for the main game.This is, at best, an issue with how they coded MogStation and not an actual control issue like some people are making it out to be. And since the issue is located in MogStation, it's likely just a matter of time till enough people complain. To give you the skinny of why it happened?The game and MogStation are primarily written and coded by SE's Japanese team. The Steam release is handled by SE America, which has very little pull with the Japanese team that doesn't always get Americans. It's also possibly why Steam isn't used as a patch client for the game: FFXIV's patches are written by the core Japanese team. The American team just provides translations.I'm fairly confident that with time, the problem will reach the right people on the Japanese side and things will get fixed.
SE just has a history of lag when it comes to dealing with English side issues. Typical video game company politics.
You're locked in with Steam if you bought the game here. I'm likely going to buy the game directly from SE again and xfer my char over to the new account because Steam is being greedy with only selling the expansion in May. I wanted a collector's edition with the physical bonuses but I can't thanks to Steam. Also, this is the only game of mine that didn't work directly from Steam so I had to download the client from the SE website. It doesn't seem to be too much of a common issue however and I know a lot of people who play from Steam with no issues. But yes, the 'we sell things when we feel like it to max out our profits' and ensure that you have to buy it here sucks. It's why I'm going to pay an extra 100$ or so to get rid of them on my FFXIV account.
I rather do that than pay them to be tied with them. They want to give me the middle finger-right back at them! Anyways, if you're OK with all of this (some people are), then you will be just fine.
You’ll need to reach Rank 10 in the game’s multiplayer. War Bonds can be earned simply by leveling up your rank, so hopefully by the time you reach Rank 10, as long as you haven’t been spending your War Bonds on the way, you’ll have enough to unlock the Kolibri Pistol.Once you’ve hit Rank 10 and have enough War Bonds, you’ll then want to go to the class customization screen and look under the sidearms section. First things first, you won’t be able to just get your hands on this at any old level. Once you’ve done this, you’ll then actually need to buy the weapon with War Bonds. This is a new feature in Battlefield 1 that acts as another barrier to getting some of the best or coolest guns in the game. How to get battlefield 1 war bonds 2.
You can buy from the store, etc.Just to correct what Seraphna has said, SE stated that the Steam key work differently because Steam asked them for it to work that way. If not, it owuld work like any other keys really.
I just received an email confirming this from SE. I don't see why they would lie to me. This is taking a personal assumption about how Japanese people think and applying it to what's going on to reach a conclusion. Not a good plan. In fact, assuming that they intentionally made it so it works as it currently does is also a huge stretch.The logic behind the account regions has nothing to do with what you're talking about. It's a security measure to help prevent people from having their accounts stolen.
You can actually have your region changed. It also has to do with certain laws in certain markets, payments that can and can't be accepted and the kinds of currency allowed by their merchantile liscences per region. Which is why a lot of online stores won't accept your credit card if it's rooted in a country outside their purview.At least, unlike some other MMOs, SE doesn't assume that just because you're in say, America, that you'll only want access to American servers. Which is why you can create characters on any server, no matter the region of your account.

Be civil. Steam currently has FFXIV: A Realm Reborn and Heavensward at 50% Off.It's important to note that if you buy the Steam version of the base game, you are locked into getting Steam upgrades for the future.
Consider that carefully before buying. Alternatively, if you have the non-Steam version on your account, you can't buy the HW Steam expansion.For those of us who do have the Steam version and were waiting for a sale on Heavensward, this is a good deal to consider.Deal is good until January 25. So this is definitely a thing, then? There is no interactivity there?I read that the steam version of Heavensward needed a steam version of ARR, but i assumed it was a software thing.
Did the math and figured that at $30 for both the on-sale steam version of ARR and Heavensward, that was still $10 off buying the expansion from the SE store. Fate/stay night movie: heavens feel ii. lost butterfly hd 1080 bdrip. But while i could log into my regular account in the steam version of ARR, the Heavensward key isn't reading as valid.So this is just not going to work out? Do i need to go get myself a steam refund?.
I'm not sure if this is the same issue directly. I've gotten XIV working via Proton, but I had to follow well-known wine answers to get it playable. Namely, I have to edit two files in the steamapps/compatdata/39210/pfx/drivec/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn/ directory.In FFXIVBOOT.cfg, I had to edit BrowserType to 2, and in FFXIV.cfg I have to edit CutsceneMovieOpening to 1.The first change allows me to get to the launcher at this point - if it's left to its default value I get 'A system error has occured: 404. HTTPS System Error'. Afraid I did the install mid-week, so I'm not sure if this is how I got past nstgc's issue during installation.Obviously the latter change means I don't get to see the opening cutscene the first time I play the game, but if I leave it at default value, the game launches but hangs up after selecting a Data Center.As these edit game configuration files I'm not sure if this is something Valve wants to consider for Proton, but at the least it's information.
Free steam wallet code 2019 giveaway. FFXIV Freezes when Real Time Reflections are enabledIssue transferred from.posted on 2018-08-26T05:58:03:Final Fantasy 14 (ID: 39210) works on DX11 mode after some manual workarounds which are editing the INI files to set browser type to 2, disable the opening cutscene and use winetricks xact into its prefix.However graphics stop working immediately after I enable “Real Time Reflections”. Enabling any level of this particular option freezes the game and X11. I can still log into through SSH and there are these messages: 384.698959 drm:amdgpujobtimedout amdgpu ERROR ring gfx timeout, last signaled seq=202749, last emitted seq=202751 384.698964 drm GPU recovery disabled.GPU is Saphire R9 390. System is OpenSUSE Tubleweed with kernel 4.18.0-1, using amdgpu and Mesa 18.1.6 LLVM6. Using the recommended libs fixed the issue for me but now I have the missing fonts issue described.
I should mention that the fonts issue didn’t occurred in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.I’ve switched to Ubuntu Bionic in order to fill the requierements described on PREREQS.md. Installing from those repos gave me Mesa 18.3 compiled against LLVM 8.0. I also installed LLVM and CLANG 8 since the document does not make it clear if libllvm8 is enough. I’m still using amdgpu from kernel 4.18.5-041805 which I installed from UKKUU.By the way the wine and winetricks from Ubuntu default repos are too old and applying xact through them will cause the game to fail on launch. EDIT: Got the game to run:DCurrently I'm having an issue that there's no audio in DX11, but there is audio in DX9. I much prefer to play in DX11 as the performance is better.
Any ideas?I'm using Proton 3.16-6 (Beta) now.I just found this and applied some of the tweaks mentioned above and I got the launcher working =)It remains to see if I can get the game itself to run when it's finished downloading but we'll see!I notice prefixes being mentioned above. I'm not terribly tech savvy; how would I go about applying them if I need them? EDIT: Turns out the issue was my desktop environment.
I uninstalled Ubuntu 18.10 and replaced it with Kubuntu 18.10 and now Windowed Mode is working great!Okay!New problem!So the game works perfectly in Windowed Fullscreen with no issues whatsoever (that I can see). But I actually prefer to play the game in Windowed mode, and that's where problems emerge: I have skills bound to num pad keys, that activate when I press my mouse buttons. In Windowed Fullscreen they work great with no errors, but when I use them in Windowed more, there is a noticeable FPS plummet/freeze that makes it hard to play like that.I recorded a video: (the low framerate of the game is a result of the recording, but thankfully it also makes it super obvious when I hit the mouse buttons so you can observe).Any ideas on how I could fix this? I'm still having issues with an HTTPS error in the launcher despite BrowserType having been set to 2. Tested under GNOME with Wayland, GNOME on Xorg, and Plasma to no avail.Try deleting the 'web' folder in /.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/39210/pfx/drivec/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn/I have 2 Fedora 29 machines where on one I have to constantly delete that folder for the launcher to load while on the other does not require it.
Although, I'm not sure what is different between the two machines. I'm still having issues with an HTTPS error in the launcher despiteBrowserType having been set to 2.

For Steam you will need to hide wine still, unless you want to buy the mac version as well.
However getting that to work is a matter of copying a custom version of proton like the one just posted into the proper location and setting FFXIV to use that version. It's not difficult at all once you set it up, but will be necessary for the forseeable future as even with the work being done to get the 64 bit launcher working, the game still sees a wine prefix and thinks you're on a mac even when you manage to log in with the 64 bit launcher instead of the current workaround which is to load the 32 bit launcher using environment variables that are used by the mac version to allow such.In other words it will eventually work more or less out of the box without any fiddling, and probably pretty soon. If you have a mac license. If not you will need to do minor fiddling to hide the wine prefix from the game, but that's a very set-it-and-forget-it thing.
So is it ridiculous to hope that if someone submits a pull request for the exports, Valve might just. Ask Square to not use Wine to see if someone's on Mac, as it interferes with Proton, a Steam-supported utility, on a game they sell on their platform, and specifically interferes with licensing?It may not mean anything, Square might not care either way, but the request coming from Valve would mean way more than coming from us, clearly.If Steam could get scripts to set up the FFXIVboot.cfg and Square stopped filtering Wine users as Mac users, once Proton caught up to the update that fixes the launcher I think the game would work out of the box for most people. For those who care this custom proton build works out of the box (I've tested it):is this based on proton 4.2-7?well.kinda, it's really custom build: -updated to wine 4.10 with improved clockmonotonic patches-imported changes from proton 4.2.4 through 4.2.7-backported gamepad changes from 4.10+ and proton 4.2 to 4.10-integrated d9vk-added nod3d9 option to proton to allow disabling of d3d9 override for d9vk-dxvk updated to 1.2.2 with async patch enabled for PoE and Warframe-faudio updated to 19.06.07 - fixes performance regressions in several games-integrated protonfixes into the build. This allows for game-specific fixes to be added without users repeatedly messing with their setup, similar to lutris install scripts.
much morethis is from the. So I tried both the updated proton4.2-local as well as the Proton-4.10-GE-3 builds, however if I launch the game in DX11 mode (which there will be no way around I suppose once shadowbringers lands) then I always end up the the 3109 not yet registered or subscription expired error.
This does not happen under DX9. Is there any config setting or launch parameter I'm missing here?I'm running directly via steam on ubuntu.EDIT: Figured it out, had to actually enable hidewineexports via winetricks. Runs like a charm using the Proton-4.10-GE-3 now.
I've been keeping track of this thread via e-mail. I've just made corrections to the ffxiv protonfixes scripts:Extract those into Proton-4.10-GE-3/protonfixes/gamefixes/Changes made:Also just some info:My version has both the hidewineexports patch ported from staging and the transgaming patch.The transgaming patch tricks the launcher into running the CEF version of itself instead of the mshtml version. The mshtml version has a broken java error if clicking the login button, hence why we want the cef version. The hidewineexports patch allows hiding wine exports from the game, which fixes the game from thinking the account does not have ffxiv registered on it.The build itself contains fixes for multiple games, not just ffxiv. It's faudio build is also built with ffmpeg support so that wma and wmv audio works.
It is also built on wine-4.10 vanilla with proton's commits/patches ported over.The patches made to wine in my version can be found here:While non wine related game fixes are done by protonfixes.
