Today is 16march2022. Not 2017.
After installing macOS 12.3 (huge mistake), I cannot launch FFXIV. Apparently this is due to Apple removing their default Python2.7 material. I got past that by deleting and re-installing FFXIV.
New error message from the Crossover/FFXIV launcher:
Failed to import cxutils module into Python. See console for errors.
This is after re-installing FFXIV.
Has anyone found a fix?
Mac mini, macOS 12.3
I've never used any of that software, but it mentions a cxutils module. Potentially, if you are comfortable with tinkering with it, you could try forcing it to reinstall (via the macOS Terminal app), per this stackoverflow article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19548957/can-i-force-pip-to-reinstall-the-current-version
sudo pip install --upgrade --no-deps --force-reinstall cxutils
Have you contacted Crossover or the FFXIV developer about your problem and/or workaround? Neither is obviously Apple products that are supported here.
I went to Python.org and downloaded/installed Python 2.7.18 which gave me a /usr/local/bin/pip2 that allowed me to install the pyobjc==5.3 package into that Python distribution. That was the last version of pyobjc to support 2.7.18. All of my PyObjC scripts now work as they used to prior to Monterey 12.3, as do the newer Python 3.10.2 and pyinstaller compiled applications.
I upgraded from python 2.7.16 to 2.7.18.
I used
/usr/local/bin/pip2 install pyobjc==5.3
which appeared to succeed.
Launching FFXIV still failed with the same error.
--------
I'll try Crossover next. Thanks for the suggestions.
Stuck on this as well. Installed Python 2.7(might not have needed to...), reinstalled FFXIV, installed cxutil and phobic via pip and still no luck. Error remains the same as originally reported. When run via console the error is slightly different:
/Applications/FINAL\ FANTASY\ XIV\ ONLINE.app/Contents/MacOS/FINAL\ FANTASY\ XIV\ ONLINE
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named objc
Your commandline command succeeded, but the error persists.
Thanks anyway.
