You can find the rather lengthy explanation at the link below. This includes refunds for those of you who purchased game time cards.
I would like to explain in detail how this happened.įor players who purchased FFXIV and cannot play it, Square is offering refunds. I believe that the biggest problem with the Mac version release was the significant discrepancy between the performance of the product our development team produced and the expectations our customers had for it, which was due to the lack of information available on our product when sales commenced, as well as other issues. According to Yoshida, in the chaos before the launch, the wrong system requirements were posted, leading to players purchasing the game who would be unable to play it.
Changes like this do require your computer to have enough processing power to work with these graphics, and a video card capable of running it is fundamental as well. The mac version of FFXIV launched on June 23rd, and it became immediately apparent that the game was not running properly on many systems, even those who met the minimum requirements. The lighting and shading makes the game look completely different to a point where you have to wonder if you’re playing FF14 or a brand new HD remake. I have read that NPCs rely on CPU power to run, so Im going to look into that and post back my results, that is if anyone reads this shit.Direct Naoki Yoshida has posted a letter to Final Fantasy XIV fans, apologizing for issues with the mac client. My Player Character and all NPC's and mobs are all constantly flashing. I has given me by far the best result, smooth framerates, all graphics settings on medium, and running fullscreen mode.but. I could install the game, but It wouldn't find the server to update the game.įinally after being given a lot of negative feedback regarding Parallels, I thought i would try it anyways, and Im glad i did. The next two options i used were WINE programs, one was named Wineskin, and the other was Crossover Games for mac, both of these gave me the same result. Ok, so after messing around for a few weeks trying to find the perfect environment to play FFXIV on my brand new Macbook Pro, Without the need for running Bootcamp Windows.įirst of all I used WINE, and being a noob with wine, i couldn't even compile wine to use it.
