A FFXIV launcher that supports **multiple profiles** and **Dalamud plugins**. It also supports Windows, macOS and Linux natively!
|
|
|
|
### Beta Notice
|
|
Astra is **beta software**. 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 still prompt you to update.
|
|
* The **Steam support is untested.**
|
|
|
|
Despite this, the launcher is still usable, and I use it myself on a regular basis on Linux. If you
|
|
have more questions, I suggest reading the [FAQ](https://man.sr.ht/~redstrate/astra/faq.md).
|

|
## Features
|
|
* Can **bootstrap a new FFXIV installation** if it can't find one. You can skip the installer entirely!
|
|
* Can use **native (Windows)** and **Wine-based (macOS, Linux)** versions of FFXIV.
|
|
* You can use **Dalamud plugins**, which is downloaded within the launcher just like XIVQuickLauncher.
|
|
* Can connect to the **official Square Enix servers** _as well_ as **Sapphire servers**.
|
|
* **Multiple profiles**!
|
|
* 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-specific Wine performance enhancements such as **enabling Fsync/Esync/Futex2**.

## Contributing and Support
|
|
Astra is primarily hosted at **sourcehut**, with the project located [here](https://sr.ht/~redstrate/astra/). There is multiple
|
|
ways to contribute patches:
|
|
* You can send a PR through the [Github mirror](https://github.com/redstrate/astra/pulls).
|
|
* If you have a sourcehut account, you can use the [web contributing interface](https://git.sr.ht/~redstrate/astra/send-email).
|
|
* If you do not want to use Github or sourcehut, you may always send the patch through [the mailing list](https://lists.sr.ht/~redstrate/astra-dev).
|
|
|
|
If you do send a patch through the mailing list, please prefix the subject with PATCH so it's properly filtered.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to **report an issue or discuss something**, also use [the mailing list](https://lists.sr.ht/~redstrate/astra-dev) for now.
|
|
I highly encourage you to send an email through the mailing list instead of contacting me privately if possible, so
|
|
other people may benefit from the solution. |
