General

  • Refer to Installation and Load Once on guide on how to install and uninstall.
  • For help with the main menu accessible from the main window (control window), refer to Interface: Main Menu.
    • If you closed the control window, find a gear icon at the notification icons area in your task bar's rightmost side.
  • Closed main window and don't know how to bring it back? Check out your task bar's notification area, aka "tray icons". There should be a cog icon. Double click on it, or right click on it to bring up the control window.

Latency and Timing Helper

This was called "High Latency Mitigation" before 1.14.8.46.

  • If the game has just updated, and high latency mitigation does not work, find opcodes.
    • This feature will break whenever ACT FFXIV Plugin breaks, but you can replace opcodes by yourself and it will probably work.
    • Open the control window, pick Configure > Edit Opcode Configuration to apply the found opcodes.
  • Try Framerate Locking for more true-to-the-face-value cooldowns.

Modding

Miscellaneous

  • As it uses DLL injection, your anti-virus software might flag this add-on. You might have to add both XivAlexander32/64.dll and XivAlexanderLoader32/64.exe to exclusion list. Refer to your anti-virus software manual for instructions.
  • If you use FFXIVQuickLauncher and don't want to install XivAlexander but still want it to launch automatically, open XIVLauncher configuration, navigate to Auto-Launch tab, click on Add new button, find XivAlexanderLoader64.exe, and set -a load as Command line parameters. You do not have to check any of the 3 checkboxes on that page - just press OK.
