No combat data in ACT for FFXIV

steve1316

ACT v3.6.2 Release 279

FFXIV_ACT_Plugin.dll v2.6.8.1

No other plugins are installed.

ACT launched as admin and I double checked that Windows Defender allowed Advanced Combat Tracker.exe

FFXIV Process ID: Automatic

Filter on Local IP: All (Default)

Use WinPCap-compatible library: Off

Disable high-performance network filter: Off

Test Game Connection: Success: All FFXIV memory signatures detected successfully, and Network data is available.

I also check my log text file and it shows the Battle logs.

Checking the Main tab of the window, it says that no data is available to show. No encounters as well.

I mentioned that load order matters in another thread, but I'll just paste the patch notes from the plugin author:

https://github.com/ravahn/FFXIV_ACT_Plugin/releases

Version 2.6.8.1

Updates to support FFXIV patch 6.35.

Please note: FFXIV now uses a stateful algorithm from the network compression library Oodle. This means that the FFXIV Plugin must capture all data for a login session from the beginning. You must start ACT on or before the FFXIV character select screen or it will be unable to capture network data, and you will not see any combat information reported in ACT.

Unfortunately, if there is any problem decoding the network data, such as packet loss, then the plugin will be unable to continue processing any data until you exit back to the FFXIV character select screen.

I am still investigating alternative solutions to work around this problem.

You are right. Starting ACT before the character select screen shows up has ACT working as expected. Did not think to check their GitHub. Thank you!
