Hi Salty Lake and Penniless,
Thanks for replying,.

The patch instructions that you download with the Mac Client contain instructions on how to apply the patch by copy/paste the contents into the FFXIV file residing in the applications folder and by using Apple's "Keep Newer," option.

"Keep Newer" is inadequate. Instead, the instructions posted by Waffles Rule at this link should be used.

I tried both, the "Keep Newer," fails, but the recommendation from Waffles Rule works fine.

Probability is reasonable that a newer Mac Client release may not require patching after installing. The developers are exceptionally attentive and responsive.

Hi Salty Lake,

Uh, you have my condolences on getting a PC. Angel

I think the MacBooks may not be graphically capable of meeting the demands of the application. I'm running a Mac Pro with 16 gigs core ram, SSD boot drive, and a 400-Watt NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 Graphics Card. Even though the graphics card has 2 fans, I added an external fan to the back of my mac to increase the air flow. When the graphics card goes to full power, the Mac becomes a room heater. So, the Mac Client works quite awesome, either full screen or in a window.

Cheers

FFXIV Macintosh Client is NOW Available!
