Can't login due to SSL error

[Rall3n]

After what seems to be an update of openssl on my distro (Manjaro), trying to login with 2FA fails with following error message:

openssl version is 3.2.0-1

[Rall3n]

I should add the issue occurs on AUR version of launcher, flatpak seems to work without the mentioned issue.

[reiichi001]

This is known. It's because Arch and Arch-based distros have finally joined every other major distro in tightening their security to match OpenSSL 3.0 suggestions. (Congrats on catching up with Ubuntu and Fedora!)

I have an update PR for the AUR with a fix to match what we do on other community builds. https://github.com/Centzilius/aur-xivlauncher/pull/10

There's also a script you can find on our Discord server's known_issues channel to make the adjustments for you.

Appreciate this. Should hold over until the PR for the AUR is integrated.

@reiichi001 Thank you for the answer and the effort for the PR to the aur repo.

The PR has been merged recently and I can confirm it works. Therefore i will close this issue.
