Hi there. I started playing FFXIV in 2017 (before Stormblood) on an iMac, the same computer I still use today. I played on and off on Mac for the next couple years until I got back into the game last year, and I now play on PS4. The reason I changed platforms is because the game no longer runs on my computer, despite having worked in the past (prior to 5.0?).
The client itself installs normally, but there are some graphical glitches in the system windows, and when I launch the game, I get an error: "A fatal DirectX error has occurred.(10000000)". I am disinclined to believe it may have to do with it being a 64-bit client, as this OS should run 64-bit fine.
My computer specs are as follows:
iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011)
Version 10.13.6 (17G14019)
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
Everything except for the RAM, which is increased, is the same as when I used to play the Mac version in 2017-2018.
Below are some screenshots of the issues described:
I have tried fiddling with the FFXIV.cfg and FFXIV_BOOT.cfg files, but nothing worked.
Is there anything I can do to solve this DirectX error? I understand my computer is below the required settings for Shadowbringers, but it used to run this game in HW and SB and from my extensive internet digging I have seen some people have had success in playing the game on High Sierra. I'd appreciate genuine suggestions and not just 'get a Windows computer' (I am also unable to install Bootcamp in this machine). Thank you in advance.
