Already have done all of that. It may work on your environment just fine. It could be your combination of OS and hardware along with other installed applications/drivers, who knows. For me and my environment, it's been doing it ever since the update that added the ability to add in accounts and have it log in. But since none of us really used it before then, I can't say that specific update caused anything as the issue may have been underlying all along. Need I remind you it's a launcher, it really shouldn't have flaws at the basics of its functionality. If it doesn't create a log, I really can't help with pinpoint the problem on where it is getting stuck, like I was asked to do. Every app I develop I include a simple logging function to output states or a debug mode to allow end users to quickly troubleshoot issues because I litter the source with logging messages so I don't need to go back and forth asking users questions. W/o a log, it's anyone's guess at what section of code caused the problem.
It's an access denied msg, but since it's coming from the launcher, I can't tell if that's an erroneous issue not being handled correctly and that's just what the launcher is dumping because that's all it has. It may well be because I'm running win 8.1, an environment not fully tested. All I can say is that the launcher is running as admin, so it has full permission to do what it has to and no reason for that specific error msg. The game is not even installed in a protected folder that you need admin privs, like Program Files. Simply in J:\pcgames\FFXIV.
Also if it was a settings issue, why would the app crash and close out when the game crashes? No setting can cause that.
Because it happens when the game crashes makes me believe it's not handling the event properly, or not detecting it properly so it knows what to do next. It can be a hundred different things, but that's why we need a log.
