Final Fantasy XIV¶

Backup UI settings¶

Documents\My Games\Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn\FFXIV_CHRXXXXXXXXXXXX (last dated of them)
Documents\My Games\Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn\FFXIV.cfg
Documents\My Games\Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn\FFXIV_BOOT.cfg

Have two clients¶

Main client is steam account
Second client is FFXIV account (trial currently)

1) Create a second Windows user
2) Log in with that user so the user folder is created (specially Documents)
3) In the shortcut of the second client, add this in front of the program path (replace NEWUSER with the second user name) : C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /profile /user:NEWUSER

Be cautious that this is a bit of a security risk if you use that with something else than a game like FFXIV, google runas for more info.

Rename screenshosts¶

Bash script to rename screenshots date from ddmmyyyy to yyyymmdd for better sorting

#!/bin/bash

function rename_screenshots() {
    for j in ffxiv_*_*_*.png;
    do
        echo "File $j";
        IFS='_' read -r -a array <<< "$j";
        #echo "Date ${array[1]}";
        date=${array[1]}
        day="${date:0:2}"
        month="${date:2:2}"
        year="${date:4:4}"

        thisyear=$(date +%Y)
        if [[ $year == "$thisyear" ]];then
            new_filename=${array[0]}_${year}${month}${day}_${array[2]}_${array[3]}
            echo "New name : $new_filename"
            mv -v "$j" "$new_filename"
        else 
            echo "Not renaming $j"
        fi
    done
}

for i in */;do
    echo "$i";
    cd "$i" || rename_screenshots
        rename_screenshots
    cd ../;
done

Steam game isn’t installed anymore¶

Sometimes Steam list the game as not installed anymore. When that happen, reinstalling the launcher reset the file ffxivgame.ver and put a game version from 2012. This has for consequence to force the launcher to reinstall completely the game. To undo that, quit the launcher and edit the file to put the current game version (ask someone for the global Version from the loading screen).

Change steam game folder manually¶

Edit config/libraryfolders.vdf and put this line in the apps list => FF14 ID "39210" "54893900"

The second argument might be different as it’s the size on disk but Steam should correct it itself
