Download Final Fantasy XIV Mac Steam: How to Access and Use the Platform

Using the official Mac client and a new Free Trial account, I attempted to reinstall, and got the same result: black splash screen with white logo. I then edited the FFXIV_BOOT.cfg file, setting "Browser 1" (from Browser 2). The game properly launched the old style login screen (Heavensward art), and I logged in properly. Now, waiting two to three hours for the download to complete.

(Apparently, I left a .cfg file behind with the Browser 1 setting). I logged in with my windows-licensed account and am now facing four hours worth of download/patch for Shadowbringers

After the game is downloaded and BEFORE you launch the game i go into Crossover GUI, right click the steam bottle, settings, and enable "DXVK Vulkan backend for D3D11 (builtin). I have to disable this setting to get the launch to launch but I have to turn it on to load the game.
