# xivlauncher
Finally, a cross-platform FFXIV launcher. It should run on Windows, macOS (really) and Linux!
Finally, a cross-platform FFXIV launcher. It should run on Windows, macOS and Linux!
This is mostly a hobby project, but should be extremely useful to macOS players who otherwise have to deal with the aging old launcher. Linux users should also appreciate not having to deal with installing XIVQuickLauncher through wine :-)
Compared to XIVQuickLauncher and the official launcher, this supports
**multiple profiles** and **macOS and Linux**! This means you no longer
have to suffer running your launcher through Wine.
As of this moment, the three missing major features are **game patching** and **Dalamud and other external tool launching** and **the news list**.
If you don't use these features then the launcher is still usable.
