FFXIV_ACT_Plugin VS XivAlexander

Does ACT show you any information while fighting? if you don't see any numbers odds are you aren't launching it before logging into your character. A couple months ago the game updated in such a way that ACT no longer works if it isn't running before logging in. I don't know if that also means you can't turn off and then on again the live logging. You can read more about it over the github page (update from March 7 explains the issue, later updates attempt other ways to make it work as it used to).

ACT will attempt to update if one is available upon startup. If you wish to know faster as to when it's updated, you can check out the FFXIV ACT Discord. Link available through here: https://github.com/ravahn/FFXIV_ACT_Plugin

The issue with this is that lag and ping even on a "good connection" isn't like what it is with the Japanese servers so it's way harder and sometimes has even been impossible to completely avoid drift. There are plugins that fix the issue but they're obviously not officially endorsed.

https://github.com/Soreepeong/XivAlexander found it. idk how it works tho

XIVAlexander (Ability Cooldown Manipulation): https://github.com/Soreepeong/XivAlexander

either way should work but just checking this https://github.com/Soreepeong/XivAlexander/releases might just be the easiest

Per the website: https://github.com/Soreepeong/XivAlexander

Try out xiv alexander, https://github.com/Soreepeong/XivAlexander. It'll essentially remove the animation lock which will give you 0 latency, but due to the way it works it is a ban-able mod so use it at your own risk. However, I've been using it since shb and I haven't heard anyone get banned over it either.
