GiantRockFromSpace posted:I'm not using any mods (nothing against them, just the usual "knowledge of cybersecurity slowly makes you want to go back to the Stone Age") Mods do not require admin/root and in fact xivlauncher FAQ strongly discourages ever running the game as root because the game has some "Japanese Developers on PC" magic going on where the files get write-protected to your user and you can't change settings or hotbars anymore.

There was also a good drama bomb last year where a visuals filter mod(gshade) had the developer sneak in malicious code to gently caress with a single user as a personal vendetta which resulted in practically the entire community abandoning it immediately on discovery.

whether mods require admin/root isn't really material because there's a shitload you can do on a random person's pc without that like the whole deal of dalamud is injecting third-party code into the game. the plugins from the default/official repo at least have gone through code review, and the D17 change made it so that every plugin is built by the team directly from its source repo at a specific commit, so they're verified third party repos like the crime tools we love? it's 100% just downloading code from the internet and running it. i generally trust that these aren't malicious to the user, but it's still a massive security risk and i can't really blame someone for not wanting to accept it

Anyone ever dealt with the game crashing because of a "Fatal DirectX Error"? Tried all the solutions online (running windowless bordered, redownloading the game, making sure everything else is closed, switching to DirectX 9) and still keep getting them at random times.

I apparently had an issue with that, because your post triggered a memory where I had made a note of a fix that worked, just in case it happened again. This is what worked for me, and here's hoping it works for you, too., Go to your FF14 install folder. By default, it's located at C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\game Delete ffxiv_dx11.exe Let the patcher "repair" it.

When you say "repair" it is this something the official launcher does or do you mean XIVLauncher? Don't have a problem with downloading XIVLauncher just need to make sure before I delete an exe file.

parasyte posted:whether mods require admin/root isn't really material because there's a shitload you can do on a random person's pc without that In my case it's mostly that I had a real, real bad anxiety attack a few years ago due to discovering a trojan and then that my dumb younger self had installed a mod that left a backdoor open that thankfully didn't work after Windows 7, and then spiraling down into self-loathing, which might have been reflected in some posts back then(mainly the Pathfinder CRPG thread, I really apologize for that). I've improved since then but unless it's really tempting I prefer to try to minimize the risks at the very least. GitHub repos at least give me the confidence that I can look up the code (or at least someone can and will  about it)Doomykins posted:There was also a good drama bomb last year where a visuals filter mod(gshade) had the developer sneak in malicious code to gently caress with a single user as a personal vendetta which resulted in practically the entire community abandoning it immediately on discovery. oh god, yeah, the second issue is modders are a coinflip between being the nicest persons on the Internet who fix games' problems for free for years and will actually answer a panicked paranoia induced pm with reassuring words, or have a black hole for an ego that will ignite the biggest fandom drama you'll ever see in the fandom. That said ever since I did the macro trick to have extra menus for easier job changing I don't really feel I neeed QoL mods for FFXIV? Not sure what's available.

I feel like the actual constraints of the modding scene cuts away most of the former and leaves almost only the latter for FFXIV. Since any significant QoL mods are both extremely difficult to make/maintain and against the ToS anyway, you lose a lot of the people who'd do the 'bugfix' mods out of their own goodwill, and basically only leave outright cheaters or clout-chasers. You see similar in cosmetics modding, too. The raw difficulty and obscurity means a lot of the people who mod as a creative/artistic outlet either wouldn't stay or wouldn't find it in the first place, so most of the people you find are the people who want to be a big fish in a small pond.

The best part of the gshade drama is how minor the issue was in comparison to what the code actually did, making our coder dude look even worse than you would expect from that description.

susan b buffering posted:the idea that modders who only use officially sanctioned apis are somehow nicer than those who don't is very funny to me To be a little bit more specific, I think a big element for the more functional mods there is that, thanks to them being against the ToS for a live service game that can actually punish you for breaking it, it repels a lot of the people who are being nice about things, and mainly keeps the people who would probably break that stuff anyway. Cosmetics I think might just have an entirely unrelated parallel issue.

Watching people make up malicious head canon about modders is wild. The vast majority want their action figure to look prettier. Yes there are jerks in the modding scene, broadly at the same rate as humanity overall. The gateway to being a modder is more along the lines of "willing to mess around in Blender past initial frustration."

Just imagine in your head that people who play games without mod support and then mod them anyways might also happen to play ff14 and I think you'll dispel the bizarre idea that ff14 modders are somehow more unsavory lmao

There is, at least, a mod that adds the Dark Souls YOU DIED display when you die.

I really hate how most video games either never let freckles be an option or it basically amounts to a handful of dots on the cheeks and bridge of the nose.

That reminds me of the funniest thing I've ever witnessed in this game. There was some FC drama going down in Limsa in /say and /shout chat for some reason and meanwhile a hrothgar bard was parked next to them playing the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme on a loop. It doesn't sound as funny when I describe it but I was cackling at the time.

FC drama is stupid, just split the rewards evenly, selling high ticket items on the market board, and the rest is basic don't poo poo where you eat stuff. If twelve year olds can manage a friend group you can manage an FC.
