Logs not working

[ghost]

Are you, by any chance, using Gshade? did you install Gshade first, and then Alexander?

[Haxarus]

Yeah I did do that, however I uninstalled gshade, didnt like it. Then reinstalled alexander, still didnt work. (I deleted all of the files). Then I also reinstalled the game, then reinstalled alexendar, still didnt work. Other than the stuff in the game folder, is there another location with files? Maybe the appdata folder?

"Not working" => What's not working?

"Logs not working" => How is logs not working?

Screencap => Unloading feature is provided as "if possible". It may not be possible at all at times.

[Haxarus]

What's not working?/How is logs not working? The first couple connection lines appear in the logs, after that nothing. So when I hit a button, nothing appears, hence Alexander not working.

I have unloaded several times in several different cases.

I should mention this though, if I use the option "load into game once" it works. However once I close the game, the game freezes and I need to force shutdown the game, after that I get a different error from Alexander.

Exit related problems should be fixed in the next release.

For no logs being recorded when you use actions, first, check if you do have Use Logging for Networking > Latency and Timing Helper ticked.

Do you use a VPN? In that case, try ticking everything in Networking > Troubleshooting.

[Haxarus]

I do use a VPN, however I did try without VPN as well. I also tried Networking>Troubleshooting tip, lines do appear for a while.

For the Networking>Latency and timing helper tip, its ticked. I would be able to feel it in the gameplay if Alexander was working anyway.

[Soreepeong]

Now that stuff show up in log after ticking stuff in troubleshooting, save the logs from the log window and post it.

Thanks for your help btw.

You will have to extract everything in the zip then Install or Load Once, or the program will not work. Try again after downloading and extracting everything.

[Haxarus]

Thats what I tried, it was a fresh copy of the program, just downloaded before.

[Soreepeong]

Oh, I think I get what's going on. Open G:\Steam Games\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIV Online\game\, delete config.init.json, and then try again.

If above file did exist, it should definitely work when you do that and restart the game. Did you do something else than running the loader? That file shouldn't have been automatically copied over.

If above didn't work, just open Control Window > Configuration > "Edit Opcode Configuration", and paste the following:

{
    "C2S_ActionRequest": "0x034d",
    "C2S_ActionRequestGroundTargeted": "0x01a3",
    "S2C_ActionEffect01": "0x033e",
    "S2C_ActionEffect08": "0x01f4",
    "S2C_ActionEffect16": "0x01fa",
    "S2C_ActionEffect24": "0x0300",
    "S2C_ActionEffect32": "0x03cd",
    "S2C_ActorCast": "0x0307",
    "S2C_ActorControl": "0x02cf",
    "S2C_ActorControlSelf": "0x0096",
    "S2C_EffectResult6": "0x0203",
    "S2C_EffectResult6Basic": "0x0330",
    "Server_IpRange": "124.150.157.0/24, 195.82.50.0/24, 204.2.229.0/24",
    "Server_PortRange": "1025-65535"
}

[Haxarus]

Thanks a lot! Deleting the .json file didnt work, however pasting the opcode worked.

[Haxarus]

Also looking forward to the update to address the close issue. Feel free to close issue.

[Soreepeong]

The problem is, how did you get into the situation you were in to begin with? Can you take a screencap of %APPDATA%\XivAlexander and %LOCALAPPDATA%\XivAlexander? Just type Windows+R, and paste one, and press enter.

[Haxarus]

Couple of weeks ago, I played around with Gshade, it messed up something with the game so I uninstalled. However I didn't know it was Gshade at the start. I uninstalled and reinstalled both gshade and Alexander multiple times. I think I broke something then.

[Soreepeong]

You can and should delete everything except XivAlexander32/64/Loader32/Loader64 in the latter folder. I'll change the installer to make sure there does not exist config.xivalexinit.json in the latter folder too.

[Haxarus]

Done, thanks for your help again.
