A custom FFXIV launcher that supports **multiple accounts/profiles**, **Dalamud plugins** and **runs natively** on
|
|
Windows, macOS and Linux!
|
|
|
|
### Beta Notice
|
|
Astra is **beta software**. Despite this, the launcher is usable for most usecases, except for those noted below:
|
|
|
|
* Astra **cannot update the game** on its own yet, however you'll be prompted to use the official launcher to update.
|
|
* Logging into **Steam-linked accounts** is unsupported at the moment.
|
|
|
|
If you have more questions, please look at the [FAQ](https://xiv.zone/astra/faq).
|
|
|

|
## Features
|
|
* **Native versions of the launcher** available for Windows, macOS and Linux. Don't run your launcher through Wine anymore!
|
|
* Can **install FFXIV** for you if you're on a new computer.
|
|
* Can run FFXIV **natively (Windows)** or through **Wine-based methods (macOS, Linux)**.
|
|
* Easily integrate **Dalamud plugins**, just like XIVQuickLauncher.
|
|
* Can connect to the **official Square Enix servers** _as well_ as **Sapphire servers**, replacing the need for a whole different launcher.
|
|
* **Multiple profiles** with their own account credentials!
|
|
* All settings can be configured per-profile!
|
|
* **Save your username and password**! These are encrypted using your system wallet, and will never be stored unencrypted.
|
|
* **Encrypted game arguments** enabled by default, providing the same level of security as the official launcher.
|
|
* Enable several Linux-specific Wine performance enhancements such as **enabling Fsync/Esync/Futex2** or configuring Gamescope!
