FFXIV-APP Not WorkingFollow

Hi Ice! Your App is amazing. :)

A quick question: currently, the %total, %total damage, and %crit seem to be at the far right hand side of the expanded 'party damage' tab. Is there a way you can move these very important tabs to the left by default? :P Perhaps next to the Total tab. Every time I go to drag these tabs to the left and exit, it doesn't save my preference and restores them all the way to the right in the beginning. I've disabled just about every tab in between as well but now the column appears blank (yet still leaves some space)!

I can't wait to see what else you have planned with this App (not just in terms of parsers)!

Hi.
Just to update. The latest version also fixed my problem of unable to log anything from the game (when running Norton). Now everything seems to be working fine. Thanks!!!

I find it hilarious Zam has an XIV "APP" with a name similar to one of the most destructive aps on FFXI.

Wonder if the APP will add some of the features XI APP had later on..

German parsing is not 100% yet but should be for basic damage/misses and accuracy. I'm still working on that; as to why it keeps stopping I can't explain that myself. Do all things stop including the logging tab (blue crystal) or just parsing?

Hey Ice,

I am having the original issue with this app where I open the FFXIVAPP.CLIENT.EXE and it immediately gives me "The Client Has Stopped working" error message. I am not running any anti-virus, I can see all of the plugin folders and I am running it as an admin. Any thoughts?

When you download the zip file, if you are using Windows, right click the zip file and click "Unblock". Make sure .Net 4.5 is installed and unzip the file, then either a) disable UAC or b) enable the program to run in admin mode. Then open the file.. This should solve 99% of the "nothing happens when I click the .exe".

Hi.

So far i like the APP however, everything healing related isn´t showing up at all, so the APP is reduced to a nice tool for reporting spammers but nothing more.
Any ideas?

I can't seem to get the app to function properly myself. Win8 x64. Have .Net 4.5 installed as part of OS.

Client launches, no plugins tab.

Downloaded with chrome. Properties->unblock. Extract with winrar. UAC disabled. Windows Smartscreen disabled. Running as admin.

whatdo?

Since I fixed it, and found this nowhere else on google:

Each DLL needs to be unblocked individually after extracted. Fixed.

What type of mobs are you fighting? Leve/Quest/Popped mobs?
When you close the app it saves your chat log history in a file under logs with a date/time stamp and the name "ChatHistory". When you open it up in notepad++ (or some other more advanced normal text editor as notepad doesn't like large files) do you see lines where it says:
You use/cast blah.
The blah takes X damage.

If it's not in there then the app isn't seeing that in memory. The only cause so far of that is that the game itself isn't showing it. If however it's leve/quest/popped mobs from quests they appear as you essentially and they will not be parsed.

:)

Time for a new FAQ entry :) German support is at a basic level at this time; and you have to also change the app to run in german :)

Goto: Settings->Character->game Language->German

You should see ALOT more stuff; but it's missing heals and a couple of other things like what monsters do to you.

Okay, so changing nothing but the language ingame & in the APP as well, makes everything work as intended. Changing it back to German breaks it again. So i guess i´ve found at least the origin of the problem.
Have fun fixing it ;)

If the app appears to start (no dialog appearing), but then doesn't, it means you do not have the .Net Framework 4.5 installed.

Even though the framework does not request a reboot, a reboot dialog will pop the first time you launch the app. The app will run fine without the reboot, however, it is still very much recommended you reboot after installing the framework.

You can get the install for that from Microsoft. It's a healthy size, but not too bad.

As for the blocking. This is actually a problem because of a few reasons.
1) It is a .Net application. (There are special UAC handlers for .Net framework applications)
2) It attempts to access system level functions. (Certain system operations automatically trigger UAC blocks)
3) It does not have RequiresAdmin in the application manifest. (Without the RequiresAdmin some functions will fail unless the process is manually elevated... AKA Right click and run as Admin)
4) It is not "Installed" as an administrator (Installation software is recognized by Microsoft as a valid source medium, where zip files are not, so installed files do not get blocked... However, a raw MSI file for example will be flagged as blocked, as it could be potentially harmful)

The purpose of the blocking is to prevent people from downloading and running applications without knowing what they are doing. By downloading an executable, that attempts to use system level operations and simply running it, Windows is (rightly so) attempting to protect you from yourself.

The easiest fix for this would be to have this wrapped in an installer which then runs from an executable bootstrap that requests elevated privileges for the installation. The application itself should have it's manifest updated so that it too RequiresAdmin (as it really does) to allow for proper functioning.

And please, don't get me wrong, this is not meant to be a bash on the application. It is a rather elegant app that, so far, I have enjoyed using. It's just I have spent years designing and building installation, build, and release solutions, and personally hated these issues when they were introduced... However, having helped people recover their systems (and having to do it much less since they introduced this) do appreciate the pain the Microsoft introduced with UAC. And I also understand from a development standpoint how annoying it can be...

I too cannot get anything to parse. I have MS security essentials and run as admin. no chat logs either the program does nothing. I can get my character id to import but thats it.
