redstrate 63faea21cb Add Watchdog 
Helps you get through the queue with instant access to your place,
as well as giving you notifications on lobby errors and what else.

At the moment, only supported under X11 and Linux but will grow in
the future assuming the queues are still terrible.

xivlauncher

Finally, a cross-platform FFXIV launcher. It should run on Windows, macOS and Linux!

Compared to XIVQuickLauncher and the official launcher, this supports multiple profiles, Dalamud mods, and macOS and Linux! This means you no longer have to suffer running your FFXIV launcher through Wine. Under Linux, you have Watchdog available to help you through the login queue.

As of this moment, the three missing major features are game patching, external tool launching and the news list. If you don't use these features then the launcher is still usable.

More information can be found in the FAQ.

Features

  • Can use native (Windows) and Wine (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, having a regular Square Enix profile and a test Sapphire profile. Or maybe one for DX11 and another for DX9?
    • All settings can be configured per-profile!
  • Saving username and/or password. These are saved per-profile, and are encrypted using your system wallet.
  • Encrypted game argument support similiar to what XIVQuickLauncher and the official ffxivboot already does.
  • Enable several (Linux) Wine-specific performance enhancements such as enabling Esync.
  • You have a Watchdog available to help you through queues.
    • Only works on X11 and Linux (at the moment)
    • Will send you a notification on any change in the login queue. (moving up, logged in, lobby error, etc)
    • Can view your spot in the queue easily by using the system tray icon.
