Astra is a FFXIV launcher that supports
|
|
**multiple profiles**, **Dalamud mods**, _and_ **macOS and Linux**!
|
|
|
|
At the moment, there are a few caveats that are good to know if you use these features:
|
|
* There is no **game patching** support, but the launcher will prompt you to launch another launcher anyway.
|
|
* The **Steam support is untested.**
|
|
|
|
Despite this, the launcher is still usable and I use it myself on a regular basis on Linux. I suggest you read more in the [FAQ](https://man.sr.ht/~redstrate/astra/faq.md)!

|
## Features
|
|
* Can use native (Windows) and Wine-based (macOS, Linux) versions of FFXIV.
|
|
* You can use Dalamud, which is downloaded within the launcher just like XIVQuickLauncher.
|
|
* Can connect to the official Square Enix servers _as well_ as Sapphire servers.
|
|
* Multiple profile support!
|
|
* For example, you can have a regular Square Enix profile and a testing Sapphire profile. Or maybe one for DX11 and another for DX9?
|
|
* These also have seperate, saved logins.
|
|
* All settings can be configured per-profile!
|
|
* Securely saving username and/or password. These are saved per-profile, and are encrypted using your system wallet, and will never be stored unencrypted.
|
|
* Encrypted game argument support similiar to what XIVQuickLauncher and the official ffxivboot does, preventing other programs from snooping your login token.
|
|
* Enable several (Linux) Wine-specific performance enhancements such as enabling Esync.
|
|
* On Linux, take advantafe of Watchdog to help notify you if you've moved in the login queue.
|
|
* Only works on X11.
|
|
* Will send you a notification on any change in the login queue. (moving up, logged in, lobby error, etc)
|
|
* You can view your spot in the queue easily by using the system tray icon.
|
|
|
|
