I apologize if the English is strange as I am using machine translation.
The steps to reproduce are easy.
- Create a C# "Windows Forms App" project in Visual Studio.
- Add Machina.FFXIV 2.4.0.4 or higher to your project in NuGet Manager
- Try to open Form1.cs
- The "Loading designer..." message does not end and after a few minutes an error message appears:
Timed out waiting for the design tools server process to launch to complete.
To narrow down the cause as much as possible, I checked 2.4.0.1 through 2.4.0.4 by building them myself into nupkg. I was able to load the designer up to 2.4.0.3, but 2.4.0.4 failed to load.
You can build and run the Forms App, just can't use the designer.
