Trying to install the game, this error pops up.

try this instead
I've never seen your particular error, but the official installer/launcher sucks

I'll give windows updates a check before I do that

the thing I linked errored?

what error?
wraith spruce
My discord

SquirrelSetup log was created with a big ass log.

That's not a problem with FFXIV....
wraith spruce
Yeah the launcher itself
from this guy

From what I can tell the main reason is something else is using the "lock" it is trying to use

I think the reason for the 6500xt and 3050 is they're on new/different fabs from existing production, so they can at least get more supply out into the market
And if ppl are only playing Fortnite @ 1080p or something, they're still fine

Lower die sizes too, probably
Assuming they're both completely new chips and not actual bins

i am so fucking confused
didnt the 550ti have jack shit for vram
is this some sort of frankenstein gpu made for mining??

could be, you only really need fast memory

i wouldnt be surprised if this ended up being fine for mining costwise
only issue is that i can find nothing on 6gb 550tis anywhere..

I had a 560ti, was a badass gpu at the time
my friend recently upgraded from a 2500K + 560 Ti, mainly upgraded for better editing performance
due to the card availability situation he is running a 5800X with a 560 Ti

yeah it was in the 2500k box I still have running, I upgraded to a 960 though
so we've done the reverse, my cpu still chugging away and so is their gpu

apparently heated seats are part of the One Weird Trick to getting the most out of your EV in the cold too

I think it was about the explorer though

to be fair, even gas engines don't do that anymore

you should never do that to a gas engine

yeah which was the result of chrysler going bankrupt before he was brought on
he was a ford executive before
Chrysler in the 90s is probably the most frustrating business period in modern history
they had a fantastic line up, had state of the art technology and manufacturing
and they chose a terrible CEO
odd sand
the "let your engine warm up" thing is a myth from the old days
I always at least let mine finish the initial high rev after starting before I put it into drive. IE: Revs at like 2000rpm to start then settles down to the "high idle" of like 1200 and when fully up to temp of course eventually settles to like 800
deep sapphire
who merged with daimler benz which is like the biggest wtf moment ever
umbral moss
isn't that because GM bought saab and ford bought volvo
so chrysler was like "oh shit, we need a luxury brand too"
and daimler was largely indifferent to the idea and contributed nothing to the merger
deep sapphire
no, it was pretty much only done out of money
daimler benz was pretty broke at the time
hard drift

the irony is daimler benz basically used chrysler because they hated them but took the free money lol

Define main hard drive. I'm pretty sure it downloads to whatever directory you saved the launcher to

Where are you running the launcher from?

steam

It's fine. Why would it matter?
lean badge
but my C has 0 space

It's not a good idea to run your C drive completely out of space. It makes certain things in the OS not work properly or run slow

How do you do that?

Sorry, not an expert on tech stuffs

You can usually do that by going into your bios during boot
But, I think you should be able to run memtest to see if it's your memory being wonky

Sorry, not an expert on tech stuffs
look up a guide on youtube and go to your bios
usually you put your ram to have less MHz on it and less voltage
its what I did and it worked
but that error is a nightmare tbh

Wont that reduce my pc performance?

by a tiny, negligible margin

Ah alright. If anything happens i will just revert it

Hey guys.
I play League of Legends, and their server is also on the West Coast (california), like FFXIV's Aether datacenter. I get 165 ping on League, but 280 on FFXIV, so I'm very curious, why is my ping so high? And it wasn't this high before, it was around 200. This only started happening recently.

Hey guys.
I play League of Legends, and their server is also on the West Coast (...
I'm similar ping for FFXIV, but for league I'm like 65 ping, also for league, their server should be in Chicago no?
sharp star
harsh iris
@fathom brook oh yes I forgot they moved from Cali to Chicago. But still, that is a... 40 ping difference, because my FFXIV ping used to be around 200, and my league ping has always been 160. So why is my FFXIV ping 280 now, and league is still 160...?

@dreamy chasm do you know how I would fix this “routing issue”?
dreamy chasm
Only way I could think of is trying a VPN to see if it'd fix the issue
But it isn't always a sure thing
modest moss
other option is to contact your isp
there are pay as you go vpns like mudfish, they have a free trial and aren't that costly
dreamy chasm
I use a VPN that costs me 2 bucks a month

I play with 160-200 and don't give a shit

what’s the vpn that costs 2 dollars 
nordvpn?
dreamy chasm
No, just have a limited access sub
Unlimited data, but I only have NA servers
Every added dc is an extra dollar per mo
But I only use the VPN for porn and ff so it's whatever

Windscribe
They also have a free tier w 15 gigs a month
So I'd try that if you want to test a VPN or smth

A bunch of other vpns also have free trials iirc
No worries

So erm something scary kinda happened
I went onto my PC after a while, attempted to download patch and afterwards play the game, but as soon as I hit login I blue screened, and after going back in to the official launcher I was taken back to the “set up your SE account” section
What makes it scary is i have zero clue what could have caused that to happen…
If it WAS corrupted, then maybe it was me attempting to OPEN the corrupted gamefile which blue screened me?
Well, in any case Im doing a hard uninstall and reinstall
What typically causes a blue screen
Lemme take a look
not sure since theres nothing in application but this was in systems
not sure what u mean by that im afraid D:
hmmm,, how would i check for that then ? ;o
o wait hold on found something
rtx 3060
admitedly not that tech saavy myself so im still semi confused what u mean
but hmm, im really not sure what to do since this is the first time ive gotten a blue screen
and this pc is like......i wanna say 4 months old now?
that could maybe explain the 2 slowdowns i got while playing ff aswell...
see im not even sure if its 2 or 1 cables cause this was a prebuilt i got on a really good sale from Argos ;o
modest moss
honestly if it's just a single isolated bsod I'd ignore it
modern iris
Hmmm well idk what to do now but if it happens again in a month or less I’ll be even more concerned
All I gotta do is pray o.O

make a note of any error codes, then if it happens again you start to look for patterns and causes etc

Watchdog.sys seems to point towards an nvidia driver issue from what I’m reading
Maybe try a different WHQL (Game Ready) driver
Could also be the card isn’t being supplied with correct power or signal from PCI-E BUS or the power supply
But I would try a driver first
I gotta get back to work I’ll check back in a bit sry

Honestly, unless you have an issue with some new game you buy or there is some sort of major security flaw, it's best to just stick with the same driver. Ain't broke, don't fix it etc.

that comes up anytime you try to install a game
otherwise open the local files for the game, right click the .exe and click pin to start

How to play32 bit game on a 64 bit devices?
I tried changing compatibility from "properties" but didnt work
Tried replacing all 32 bit file to 64 but then the main game file wont start

on what??? Windows? Andriod? something else?
post a screenshot of the issue
32 bit games run fine on 64 bit Windows normally, there isn't some specific thing you do to make them work
whatever issue is probably something wrong with the game, or its too old
