Crash on startup caused by a failure to rename d3d11.dll to d3d11_old.dll

Hello.

Odd one here. Was getting a crash starting the game since the launch of Dawntrail via XIVonMac. Inspecting the logs, noticed this:

Inspecting the wineprefix, noticed there was already a d3d11.dll.old and d3d11.dll. Deleted d3d11.dll and restarted and the game launched.

Note this was with a fresh wineprefix. First diagnostic step was to clear all directories in the install folder except ffxiv and relaunch to rebuild wine.

Issue now fixed from my side but raising this in case logs are helpful.
